Cathy O'Brien (author)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cathleen Ann O'Brien (born December 4, 1957 in Muskegon , Michigan ) is an American author who claims to be a victim of the secret research project MKULTRA of the American secret service CIA . Their claims are generally held to be a conspiracy theory in the scientific literature .

Allegations

O'Brien made her allegations public through her two books, Trance: Formation of America (1995) and Access Denied: For Reasons of National Security (2004), which she published with her husband, Mark Phillips. In her memoirs, allegedly made available to her under hypnosis , she claims that she was programmed using electric shocks , torture , drugs , satanic ritual abuse, and hypnosis, and that these methods were intended to deliberately induce dissociative identity disorder . The programming, which she calls Project Monarch , was done on her by family members and Catholic priests when she was a child. It also contained triggering signals that the other, inhumane acting personality would have brought to light in her, namely certain Disney films . O'Brien reports extensively of child abuse of herself and her daughter by pedophile rings , drug lords, high government officials and stars of the country music scene who used her as a sex slave, which she allegedly programmed. Among other things, she claims to have been sexually abused by President George HW Bush and the then First Lady Hillary Clinton .

reception

O'Brien's claims are either ignored by reputable researchers or dismissed as a conspiracy theory that ties in with the numerous anti-Catholic pamphlets of the 19th century in the United States, in which supposedly escaped nuns described in detail the sexual torments they should have endured. The American political scientist Michael Barkun points out that there is no valid evidence that mind control such as O'Brien was allegedly exposed to ever worked. Even in the conspiracy-theoretical subculture of the United States, it is not consistently believed. Right -wing extremist White Supremacists in particular take up O'Brien's claims and incorporate them into their constructs of an alleged New World Order in which the freedom-loving Aryan race would be enslaved.
