And you consider unverifiable, condescending denials interesting?
The London Sunday Times is not in the business of fiction.
Navy Commander Thomas Narut, stationed in Naples, admitted
at a NATO conference to the exxistence of a Naval training program for
killers. This is, I'd think, interesting to anyone who breathes.
According to the Napa Sentinel's Harry Martin and David Caul:
(...)
A U.S. Navy psychologist, who claims that the Office of Naval
Intelligence had taken convicted murderers from military prisons, used
behavior modification techniques on them, and then relocated them in
American embassies throughout the world. Just prior to that time, the
U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee had censured the CIA for its
global political assassination plots, including plots against Fidel
Castro. The Navy psychologist was Lt. Commander Thomas Narut of
the U.S. Regional Medical Center in Naples, Italy. The information
was divulged at an Oslo NATO conference of 120 psychologists from
the eleven nation alliance.
According to Dr. Narut, the U.S. Navy was an excellent place for a
researcher to find "captive personnel" whom they could could use as
guinea pigs in experiments. The Navy provided all the funding
necessary, according to Narut.
Dr. Narut, in a question and answer session with reporters from many
nations, revealed how the Navy was secretly programming large
numbers of assassins. He said that the men he had worked with for
the Navy were being prepared for commando-type operations, as well
as covert operations in U.S. embassies worldwide. He described the
men who went through his program as "hit men and assassins" who
could kill on command.
Careful screening of the subjects was accomplished by Navy
psychologists through the military records, and those who actually
received assignments where their training could be utilized, were
drawn mainly from submarine crews, the paratroops, and many were
convicted murderers serving military prison sentences. Several men
who had been awarded medals for bravery were drafted into the
program.
The assassins were conditioned through "audio-visual
desensitization". The process involved the showing of films of people
being injured or killed in a variety of ways, starting with very mild
depictions, leading up to the more extreme forms of mayhem.
Eventually, the subjects would be able to detach their feelings even
when viewing the most horrible of films. The conditioning was most
successful when applied to "passive-aggressive" types, and most of
these ended up being able to kill without any regrets. The prime
indicator of violent tendencies was the Minnesota Multiphasic
Personality Inventory. Dr. Narut knew of two Navy programming
centers, the neuropsychiatric laboratory in San Diego and the U.S.
Regional Medical Center in Italy, where he worked.
During the audio-visual desensitization programming, restraints were
used to force the subject to view the films. A device was used on the
subjects eyelids to prevent him from blinking. Typically, the
preliminary film was on an African youth being ritualistically
circumcised with a dull knife and without any anesthetic. The second
film showed a sawmill scene in which a man accidentally cut off his
fingers.
In addition to the desensitization films, the potential assassins
underwent programming to create prejudicial attitude in the men, to
think of their future enemies, especially the leaders of these
countries, as sub-human. Films and lectures were presented
demeaning the culture and habits of the people of the countries
where it had been decided they would be sent.
After his NATO lecture, Dr. Narut disappeared. He could not be
located. Within a week of so after the lecture, the Pentagon issued an
emphatic denial that the U.S. Navy had "engaged in psychological
training or other types of training of personnel as assassins." They
disavowed the programming centers in San Diego and Naples and
stated they were unable to locate Narut, but did provide confirmation
that he was a staff member of the U.S. Regional Medical Center in
Naples.
Dr. Alfred Zitani, an American delegate to the Oslo conference, did
verify Narut's remarks and they were published in the Sunday Times.
Sometime later, Dr. Narut surfaced again in London and recanted his
remarks, stating that he was "talking in theoretical and not practical
terms." Shortly thereafter, the U.S. Naval headquarters in London
issued a statement indicating that Dr. Narut's remarks at the NATO
conference should be discounted because he had "personal
problems". Dr. Narut never made any further public statements about
the program.
During the NATO conference in Oslo, Dr. Narut had remarked that the
reason he was divulging the information was because he believed that
the information was coming out anyway. The doctor was referring to
the disclosure by a Congressional subcommittee which were then
appearing in the press concerning various CIA assassination plots.
However, what Dr. Narut had failed to realize at the time, was that
the Navy's assassination plots were not destined to be revealed to
the public at that time.
