My transcript of a talk given by Dave Emory entitled "The
Ultimate Evil: Mind Control, Satanism, & the U.S. National
Security Establishment". Emory is speaking on a subsequent
show. This time, there is no co-host.

DAVE EMORY:
...we're gonna get into the actual material from *The Ultimate
Evil*. For those of you who are not familiar with it, it's a book
by Maury Terry. And it, in my opinion, is one of the most
important books that's ever been published in this country. It
doesn't go as far, still, as I would like to have seen it go. But
perhaps that is inevitable, and perhaps it's not realistic to
expect any one author to go that far.

This book basically links many of the horrendous serial killings
that have taken place in this country -- such as the Son of Sam
killings in New York, the .44 caliber killings, the depredations
of the so-called "Manson family" -- and points out that these are
*all* links in a nationwide chain of conspiracy. And that the
people who "took the *fall*" for these crimes, David Berkowitz
and Charles Manson, while involved, were actually just bit
players. And that the people actually committing these crimes are
*alive*, *free*, and very wealthy, very powerful, and very, very
well-connected.

It also appears (and this is perhaps the most disturbing thing)
that these cults are perhaps fronts for some kind of intelligence
activity. And that is a very disturbing thing to contemplate,
certainly. It would be disturbing enough simply to think that
these organizations are able to operate on their own. But the
thought that something this evil and this bloody [unclear] the
support of the national security establishment is *indeed*
unnerving. But we're gonna be taking a look at that this evening.

Most of the broadcast this evening from *The Ultimate Evil* is
gonna... We're gonna examine the various murders that were
committed in order to *cover* *up* the original killings. In
other words, we're not gonna be going into the actual .44
killings *themselves*, *or* into the original killings at Cielo
Drive in Los Angeles -- those were the Manson killings, the
killings of Abigail Folger, actress Sharon Tate and others. Nor
are we going to go into the LaBianca killings. We're simply gonna
investigate killings or suspicious deaths that *appear* to have
been committed by this organization to cover up the *truth*
concerning their activities. And it's truly a *numbing* series of
killings. We're gonna deal with some, oh... the better part of 20
apparent murders or suspicious deaths in connection with this
case. And again: these are *not* the original killings
themselves, but ones committed to cover up those crimes.

[...]

...we've talked about the Unification Church in the past. The
Unification Church is a very active wing of the U.S. national
security establishment, in spite of the fact, obviously, it is a
cult -- and a mind-control cult at that. In Radio Free America
#7, a program *about* the government's mind-control programs [CN
-- For a free catalog of past RFA programs, call (415) 346-
1840.], we discussed the Unification Church at considerable
length and went into its bizarre political philosophy in quite
some length from a book called *Gifts of Deceit*.

It's worth contemplating not only how bizarre their religious
philosophy *is*, but the fact that this apparently is a
philosophy which our government is willing to use in spite of the
fact that the Unification Church *itself* is actually the spawn
of a wing of the South Korean national security establishment.
Obviously their national security establishment in considerable
measure was spawned by our own and is very much connected *to*
our own.

[CN -- Something else to contemplate: South Korea ==> Unification
Church ==> connection to *Washington Times* newspaper (possibly
owners) ==> G. Gordon Liddy uses *Washington Times* on his always
interesting radio show ==> G. Gordon Liddy very gung ho that U.S.
military should get embroiled in recent Korea "crisis".]

So it's worth contemplating the government's active use of cults,
against the background of what we're gonna be talking about this
evening. Of course, in Radio Free America shows 5, 6, and 7, we
went into the mind-control programs by the CIA and military at
great length. One of those [was] recently broadcast on sister
station KKUP, in Coopertino.

[...]

Now we're gonna get into the book, *The Ultimate Evil*. And the
aspect of this organization that we're gonna deal with this
evening, again, concerns the murders that were committed in order
to cover up this crime.

I'm gonna have to be skipping around quite a bit in the book. I
may lose my place once or twice. If so, I can only counsel
patience. I'm "doin' the best I can".

Now it would be very difficult to describe all... it's a very
complicated book. And I'm not sure how easy it's gonna be for me
to describe the relevance of a lot of the killings that we're
about to talk about *to* the actual Manson family and the Son of
Sam killings. Suffice it to say that one of the things that we're
gonna look into now is the deaths of John and Michael Carr.
*Those* two individuals were the *sons* of Sam Carr.

Now David Berkowitz' cover story was that he... His cover story
was that he was possessed by demons; that his neighbor, Sam Carr,
had demonic control over him; and that it was his *dog*, John
Carr's... er Sam Carr's *dog*, that telepathically communicated
to David Berkowitz in order to commit the killings. Many (as
we're gonna see), many of the law enforcement officials, from the
outset, did *not* believe this cover story. However, due to the
influence of certain people (notably Mario Merola, of the
Bronx... the *late* Mario Merola of the Bronx), David Berkowitz
"took the fall". But it was allowed... His "confession" was
allowed to stand.

Now as it appears -- those of you who eventually get the book,
*The Ultimate Evil*. It appears that Berkowitz was definitely
involved in the Son of Sam killings. But he was only a
participant. Two of the *main* people involved were the actual
sons of Sam Carr, John and Michael Carr. They appear to have been
involved not only in the .44 killings, but in the various other
satanic and lewd sexual activities of this particular cult.

Both John Carr, and Michael Carr, died under very strange
circumstances (although there were some circumstances surrounding
John Carr's death which suggest that maybe John Carr is still
alive and that someone "took the fall". There are many aspects of
the corpse that appears to have been John Carr's, that do not
match the actual, living John Carr.) However, suffice it to say
that, as Maury Terry and many of the other people who
investigated The Process umbrella cult began to look *into* the
background of the Son of Sam killings, as well, eventually, of
the Manson killings, it began to emerge that these killings...
that David Berkowitz was innocent. And as they began to pursue
others who appear to have been involved, a *huge*, huge number of
deaths resulted.

The first one we're gonna deal with is the death of John Carr, or
the apparent death of John Carr, a definite participant in the
satanic activity that Berkowitz was involved with; a definite
participant in the Son of Sam killings. And John Carr himself may
very well have been one of the links between this organization
and the military and intelligence community. When they began
getting close to John Carr... We'll read you what happened.
(Again, from *The Ultimate Evil*, by Maury Terry):

On Saturday, February 18th, I was preparing breakfast when
the phone rang. It was my mother on the line, calling from
the family home in Connecticut.

"What's new in your little corner of the world?" I asked.

"There's something you need to know," she replied.

"What is it?"

"John Carr is dead."

At first, I refused to believe it. Then slowly, like an
insidious riptide, the realization slapped in my heels, rose
up suddenly, and swept me away with a thundering crescendo.

"What the hell. John Carr dead. How do you know?" The
question flew in a staccato burst of confusion and panic.

"I don't know, I don't know. There's a little death notice in
this morning's Westchester paper. It's not a full obituary,
just a small paragraph in that column of notices. No details
or anything. Just that it happened Thursday, in Minot, North
Dakota."

"Dakota! Thursday! It must be somebody else. His car is
sitting in the driveway on Warburton Avenue. I've been
watching it all week."

"No, it's him," she insisted.

"Then are you sure it doesn't say he was *from* North Dakota?
He's been out there, on and off, for years."

"It definitely says *in* Minot, North Dakota. What are you
going to do now?"

"I don't know. I never would've expected this to happen. I've
got to reach Jim. I'll get back to you."

(Jim, by the way, is Jim Mitteager, one of the people who
investigated this with Maury Terry.)

Mitteager, in the midst of a lazy Saturday on Staten Island,
was astounded, upset, and excited all at once: "He's *dead*!?
For 6 months you chase a guy. He lives all these years just
fine. And just like that, he's gone, after we turn him in to
Brooklyn and Westchester. This is one *hell* of a
development."

We then realized we hadn't learned *just* what had happened
to Carr. For all we knew, he had been ill or hit by a bus.
Mitteager volunteered to call the Minot police to find out.

A long, nervous hour later, he was back on the phone. "Listen
to this carefully, 'cause you're not gonna believe it. It was
violent. Gunshot. And they think it's murder, although
there's a chance it could be suicide. But they're treating it
as a homicide. Either way, the guy is dead, violently, right
in the midst of our handing him over."

I was too startled to answer.

(And still later...)

Meanwhile, implying he was an official investigator, Mitteager
cultivated a source within OSI, the Air Force police agency.
OSI was involved in the case, because Carr's death occurred
in the bedroom of a housing unit on the Minot Air Force base.
Carr, it turned out, had left the Air Force 16 months
earlier. The home was that of his girlfriend, Linda O'Connor,
whose estranged serviceman husband, Craig, had moved off the
base.

One thing that's not mentioned in this particular section of the
book is the fact that John Carr had obviously been involved with
a branch of this satanic cult, The Process cult, while *in* the
Air Force and working as an F-16 maintenance man *at* Minot... or
not an F-16, but I believe F-106, maintenance man at the Minot,
North Dakota, Air Force base.

That's one of the deaths that we're gonna be dealing with. Now
just as John Carr... By the way, he ultimately was found to have
been murdered. It was made to look like a suicide. But a lot of
these circumstances suggested that, in fact, John Carr had been
murdered. Then upon examination of the corpse during autopsy,
there were actual questions raised whether or not this *was* John
Carr. Because a lot of things did not jibe with what was known
about the *living* John Carr. So it's perhaps possible that John
Carr is still alive today.

Now John Carr's brother, Michael, another son of Sam Carr, was
also being investigated and also appears to have been involved in
all of the Son of Sam activities as well as the various Process
satanic cover activities. And just as the investigators were
getting close to him, he too died.

Returning to *The Ultimate Evil*:

Ward county police politics was about to become the least of
our worries. At 4 a.m. on October 4th, Michael Vale Carr III,
a prime suspect, was racing toward a rendezvous with
infinity. As he sped north on Manhattan's rickety, ancient,
west side highway, at 70th street something happened. His
pale green Buick plowed headlong into a streetlight stanchion
at nearly 75 miles per hour. The impact dislodged the
steering wheel and ripped the engine out of the car. At 27,
Michael Carr was finished.

Dave Hartley(sp?) of the Yonkers *Herald-Statesman* called me
at 8:30 a.m. "I've got a photographer down there now. Maybe
the pictures will tell us something."

"Why, Dave?" I asked. "Aren't we sure that this is merely a
coincidence?" (Actually, I was dazed by the news.)

"Too many coincidences," Hartley replied.

Again, there are many, many coincidences here. And we're gonna
take a look at some more of these deaths that... of people, who
dogged this investigation at every step of the way.

Again, one of the things that's chilling about this particular
organization is how effectively they were able to eliminate
suspects in the investigation. It appears probable from the
circumstances surrounding this wave of killings that this group
had strong connections within the law enforcement and
intelligence communities.

Now one of the *attempted* murders that, fortunately for this
investigation, did not come off, was that of David Berkowitz
himself. He had been actively co-operating with Maury Terry and
others seeking to re-open the investigation. He [Berkowitz]
himself narrowly escaped death when his throat was cut.

Returning to *The Ultimate Evil*:

In May, I received word from a source that Berkowitz' life
was in danger. I immediately phoned Jim [Mitteager] who
contacted Felix Gilroy. Gilroy sent a formal advisement to
the correction department warning that reliable informants
said that an attempt might soon be made to end Berkowitz'
life.

It happened at about 8:15 a.m. on the morning of Tuesday,
July 10th. Berkowitz, in a segregated Attica cellblock
reserved for high security-risk prisoners, was carrying a
pail of hot washwater as part of his inmate's job as a porter
when the razor slash came. The cut, which caught Berkowitz
from behind, extended from the left side of his throat to the
back of his neck. It required 56 stitches to close. A bit
deeper, and he would've been dead.

Berkowitz, with typical aplomb, walked up to a correction
guard and said, "I'm sorry, but I've been cut." He was taken
to the infirmary for treatment and refused to co-operate with
prison officials in their investigation. He never revealed
the name of his assailant, who was another inmate.

And fortunately, David Berkowitz survived. A lot of other people,
however, didn't. There's a huge, *huge* number of apparent
suicides, or accidents, or obvious murders in connection with the
investigation of this particular cult.

Now one of the, one of the *places* where this cult was very
active was in Minot, North Dakota. And there appears to have been
a whole ring of The Process umbrella cult there. And as the
investigators began to probe into the Minot connection, many of
the people there died.

And, just one second... uh, there's another, I believe... I've
gotten my place a little bit confused here. Let's see... Yeah.
Now we'll move along. This is... we're in order here.

More killings. Again, this is... These are killings in connection
with the Minot branch of The Process umbrella cult:

The newly deceased was Jerry Berg, a cult-connected friend of
John Carr's whose name surfaced early in the Minot
investigation of Carr's satanic associates. Berg, Carr, the
now-deceased Donny Boon...

(And Donny Boon died under circumstances not described here.)

...Phil Falcon, a person known as "The Wiz", and a young man
named Larry Milenko, comprised the inner circle in Minot.

Jerry Berg, a short, stocky man with curly, blondish hair,
was a native of Bismarck who moved to the Minot area in the
mid-1970s to take some courses in Minot state college, where
Carr, Falcon, and some of the others also studied part time.
An accomplished outdoorsman, Berg had been on the wrestling
team while at Bismarck Junior College [BJC], from which he
graduated in 1972. He was three years older than Arlis
Perry, who entered BJC in the fall of 1973.

Interrupting: Arlis Perry was a person, apparently a Christian
activist, who had been attempting to convert members of this
satanic cult to Christianity. She was... When she moved out to
Palo Alto, with her husband, who was entering his second year at
Stanford university, she was murdered in the Stanford church in
October of 1974. So this is a case which intersects directly with
the Santa Clara valley and within our listening radius here.

That's who Arlis Perry is, however.

On December 27th, 1979, Berg and Milenko were chopping trees
in a wooded area outside Minot. According to Milenko, the
pair had separated and were about an eighth mile apart.
Milenko said the sound of Berg's saw stopped, and then he
walked over to where Berg was working and found him crushed
to death beneath a large tree.

Milenko, ever respectful, then put the body in his truck,
drove it to a hospital, dropped it off, and left. He
immediately hired a lawyer.

"Berg was an experienced woodsman. He'd been in that
business," Gardner said. "It just seemed very strange to have
something like this happen to him -- let alone at the same
time [that] we're poking around about John Carr and Arlis
Perry."

In searching through Berg's possessions, police found further
evidence of his satanic interests. In a letter Berg hadn't
yet mailed to two friends in North Carolina, he said he was
having difficulties with his brother and he was thinking of
"putting a black magic curse on him." He also talked of
looking up his black magic teacher, Aquarius Hador, who was
"now in Minneapolis. I'm sure he's as evil as he's ever
been," Berg wrote.

Ironically, he closed the letter by cautioning his friends to
"be careful in the woods."

Police were never able to prove that Berg's death was a
murder. But the total of violently dead now included four who
were directly linked to Berkowitz and the Son of Sam case:
Jerry Berg, John Carr, Michael Carr, and Howard Weiss(sp?).
Additionally, the Yonkers mailman who committed suicide a
month after Berkowitz' capture, Andrew Dupres(sp?), was
strongly suspected of having been threatened by the group.

And then there were the near misses: sniper attacks on
Gardner and on the police officer substituting for Wheat
Carr's husband...

(Wheat Carr's the sister of John and Michael Carr.)

...John McCabe, and the incident in which Darlene
Kristienson(sp?) and Tom Taylor reported they were run off
the road near Minot. There was no absolute proof that the
latter incidents were related to the Son of Sam
investigation, but strong indications were certainly present.

Another incident, which occurred less than two weeks before
Berg's death, was also highly suspicious. This one happened
in New York.

A letter I later received said, "Dear Maury Terry, please
look into this double killing. Carol was asking people about
OTO a year prior to the murders."

Interrupting: The OTO was Alestair Crowley's cult. That's one of
the organizations which intersects with The Process.

"Carol was asking people about the OTO a year prior to the
murders. I can't accept that the people responsible for this
are still walking around free. I'm afraid that the problem
will not go away and that minds this unbalanced may
perpetrate additional horrors. Forgive me for not signing my
name. I haven't gotten over the fear."

The writer was apparently a woman friend of one Carol Marron,
33, a Brooklyn resident. Marron was a secretary at the Pratt
Institute in Brooklyn and designed clothing to supplement her
income. For seven years she lived with Howard Green, 53, an
abstract painter who drove a cab for his steady paycheck.

As the letter writer said, for more than a year Marron and
Green had been delving into the occult. Their small basement
apartment at 270 DeKalb Avenue was spiced with various items
of satanic influence. Chances are excellent that this
paraphernalia was purchased at a certain occult store located
not far from their residence -- a store that served more
purposes than one for certain occult adepts.

In the early evening hours of Saturday, December 15th, Marron
and Green were spotted by an acquaintance on a subway train
in Manhattan. The friend left the train at 59th street, but
Marron and Green kept going. The subway they were riding
would carry them past Columbia University before continuing
to the end of the line at the Bronx/Yonkers border.

Sometime later that night, Green and Marron returned to their
Brooklyn apartment. The next time they were sighted was at 7
p.m. the following evening. They were lying next to each
other off route 80 in West Patterson, New Jersey, not far
from New York City. Both were bludgeoned on their left sides.
Both had right eye wounds. And both clutched clumps of hair
in their fists, a satanic symbol.

And there was one other similarity. Every drop of blood had
been drained from the bodies of Carol Marron and Howard Green
with a veterinarian's syringe.

And again, there were, as indicated in this particular passage
that I just finished, there were a lot of other near misses for
many people. I'm not even gonna go into those now, due to time.
But it's a pattern which becomes numbingly familiar when you've
investigated political conspiracies for awhile: just witness the
flood of corpses that pursued the Iran-Contra investigation.

Now again, another murder here that appears to have been involved
to cover up the Son of Sam, Manson family, Process operation was
that involving... Again, bear in mind that the activities that
this group was involved in, the Satanism is just a cover and an
apparent mind-control device. The actual activities are murder,
drug dealing, pornography, call girl operations, and kiddie porn
in particular.

"Vinnie" here, by the way, is a prison informant who helped to
break the case. Now one of the points that he makes is that
certain people are selected for definite reasons and killed, and
other killings are committed at random to cover up the
significant killings.

Now again, "Vinnie" here is a prison informant:

Vinnie named Donna Lauria, slain in the Bronx on July 29th,
1976, as one of those deliberately selected for death.

I'll interrupt: Donna Lauria was one of the victims of the Son of
Sam, one of the .44 caliber killing victims.

He further stated that some of the .44 shootings occurred at
random, to cover up the targetted incidents. He also said
that a major leader of the group lived in a large, free-
wheeling mansion in either New Jersey or Long Island; that
the group was involved in drug, porno, and call girl
operations involving college-age girls; that shipments of
illegal weapons were sometimes part of the picture, and at
least one Son of Sam murder was filmed or videotaped by the
group.

Without exception, these allegations were explosive to put it
mildly. They were also so complex and elaborate that we
immediately suspected there was at least some truth to them.

In the coded section of Vinnie's letter he was, I later
learned, describing the murder of Stacy Moskowitz and the
blinding of Robert Violante.

(Those were two other victims of the .44 caliber killings.)

Some of the coded names were said to refer to participants in
that attack, which was alleged to have been videotaped by the
cult. As Vinnie later wrote me, "Videotapes, snuff films...
The killing of Stacy Moskowitz is on film. It draws a high
price, the sick bastards. But this is business. The whole
Moskowitz killing was orchestrated. The whole *capture* was."

(By the way, that's the capture of David Berkowitz.)

"Analyze the events yourself." (Vinnie didn't know Berkowitz
had already revealed details of that operation to me.)
"You'll feel like a fool for ever having believed
differently. Sickeningly, this whole nightmare is real. I
have a good idea where the films and ritual book, the log of
coven crimes, are. But a premature leak could get them
'lost'."

Lost was one thing. Dead was another -- as in, murdered on
Halloween. As Vinnie later wrote, "I had two locations --
Brooklyn Heights and the Village." (Greenwich Village). "I
didn't know which was to be the place, except it was to be
one of them. Berkowitz didn't know either. And he didn't know
it would be that guy. When I sent out that code, I didn't
know that the guy that turned out to be the victim was among
those names. And why was he killed? He was afraid he was
'going down' [i.e. "taking the fall", being the "patsy" for
crime involving persons higher up] on drug dealing. He was
about to help the cop, Santucci; to tell it all."

(By the way, Santucci is John Santucci, the District Attorney of
Queens, one of the 5 counties that comprises, or boroughs, that
comprise New York City.)

Returning to this passage:

"He was about to help the cop, Santucci; to tell it all. And
he was gonna make a copy of the videotape, *and* *stills*!
They 'wasted' him. It served a double purpose." The dead man
was, logically enough, a photographer. He was referred to
twice in the coded Vinnie letter: first as "Ronald", next as
"Sissy Spacek". His name, Ronald Sisman. And Vinnie had
written down his name two weeks *before* the murder, which
occurred on the night of October 30th, or shortly after
midnight, on Halloween, in Sisman's Manhattan brownstone at
207 West 22nd street, on the fringe of Greenwich Village.
Technically, the neighborhood was known as the Chelsea
section.

(I would interject at this point, too. One of the things that The
Process umbrella cult does is commit murders at or around times
of satanic holidays, or occult holidays. Halloween is one of
those holidays.)

In December, Vinnie, not even realizing that he listed
Sisman's name in October, wrote to the same friend to whom
he'd sent the earlier letter. "The name, I believe, was
Sisek. A girl and he were shot, a co-ed from Massachusetts.
Sisek was planning a deal with the D.A. [District Attorney].
He was gonna produce [deliver] the videotapes."

Vinnie wrote that Berkowitz hadn't told him personally about
the motive for Sisman's murder but that a mutual associate
had filled him in. And Vinnie later said to me, "Berkowitz
had told me about Sisek, and he told me an inside job was in
the works for Halloween. But he didn't say that Sisek..."

(Remember, that's the coded name for Ronald Sisman.)

"...But he didn't say that Sisek was the planned victim. I
don't think *he* knew it. He was getting info from outside,
but there was a lag sometimes. But he knew Sisek before. He'd
been to his brownstone with Michael Carr. He told me that
Sisek was dealing [selling drugs] and that there was a party
going on when they got there. He saw the chandelier.
Berkowitz waited while Michael Carr got the stuff."

As a confirming note, the building was indeed a brownstone
and there was a chandelier on the premises along with a
hanging tiffany lamp. According to Vinnie, Ronald Sisman had
been at the scene of the Moskowitz/Violante shooting and may
have videotaped the attack himself. If not, he assisted
whoever operated the camera. "It was either him, or that guy
Mickey." ("Mickey Mouse" in the coded letter.) "I have no
idea *who* he is. I also think 'Manson II' might have
assisted the filming, but I'm not sure."

Interrupting again: "Manson II" is the code name for a man named
Phil Benson(sp?), who was one of the links between the Berkowitz
killings and the depredations of the Manson family out in
California. Remember: these *both* operated under The Process
umbrella cult.

Sisman, 35, was a Canadian native whom police described as a
photographer, procurer, and dope dealer. He and Elizabeth
Plotzman, 20, a Long Island resident and a student at posh
Smith College in Massachusetts, were both shot in the back of
the head, execution style. Her hands were bound behind her
with a cord; his weren't.

The apartment, as Vinnie also predicted, was totally
ransacked.

And still more killings, that were being committed to cover up
this group, are to come here. Now we're gonna get into quite a
few more. As I said, it's a numbing total. And one of the things
that's so disturbing is the evident power of this group. And
remember, it appears to be strongly connected with organized
crime and elements of our intelligence system [and] law
enforcement. It is *very* well-connected. And again, explicitly
Nazi in nature.

Returning to *The Ultimate Evil*. The sort of "grand-daddy" of
the New York wing of this cult appears to have been a man named
Roy Radin. Now Radin was very much involved with film production.
He was involved with production of a film, "The Cotton Club", and
other movies. He also achieved quite a bit of notoriety in the,
in relation to a sexual molestation incident out on Long Island.
A woman named Melonie Haller who, I guess, used to star in
the "Welcome Back, Kotter" television show, was apparently
drugged and sexually violated, and her violation [was]
videotaped, at Roy Radin's mansion.

When this began to come out, Radin... I've forgot off-hand
whether he was actually convicted on the charges or not. He was
indicted on a lot of different things. [He] escaped most of the
charges.

In 1983, as the investigation of the Son of Sam/Manson/Process
link was proceeding, Radin went out to California and he was
murdered while... [He] disappeared, he was found murdered while
in California.

[...]

So, so much for Roy Radin. And again, he was a very well-
connected individual, [and] appears to have been only *one* of
the people involved in this particular situation. Obviously,
there are many others around. Radin was killed to prevent them,
prevent the investigation from going still further and involving
them.

Another of the deaths that appears to have been a murder,
committed to cover up the growing investigation into The Process
umbrella cult, was that of a man, a journalist, in Minot, North
Dakota, named Jack Graham. Maury Terry describes his death as
follows:

Jack Graham was, at 29, fondly considered the "bearded giant"
of the *Minot Daily News*. The husky, bespectacled, brown-
haired reporter and the native of Washington, D.C., joined
the Son of Sam fray with an intense passion for ferreting out
the Minot links to the case. For a year, he worked closely
with Jeff Nies and me. Among other contributions, he was
instrumental in tracking down John Carr's friend, Phil
Falcon, on the west coast.

In August and September of 1980, Jack and I worked on an
investigation of Larry Milenko, John Carr's cult-connected
friend who was toiling in the woods with Jerry Berg when the
falling tree crushed Berg to death. In early September, at a
party he'd managed to infiltrate, Jack had an angry
confrontation with Milenko. "We're gonna get you, you
bastard," Jack told him. Two weeks later, Jack was
vacationing in Michigan, visiting his family in East Lansing,
and attending Jeff Nies' wedding.

[...]

Jack was pulled unconscious from the wrecked Datsun and

Mountain. He didn't make it.

And we're gonna come back with more of the killings that were
committed, apparently to cover up this particular investigation,
in a few minutes. We're gonna take a musical break right now.

CN -- Dave Emory continues his coverage of the suspicious murders
directly traceable to the Son of Sam case. Rather than give a
word-for-word transcription, here is a partial summary of points
I found salient:

*** A mailman named Andrew Dupres(sp?) [doo-PAY] who delivered to
Berkowitz' and Carr's addresses on a daily basis reported having
seen something which troubled him greatly. He also is quoted as
saying that "they" were threatening him and that "they" were
going to "get" his family. He wound up, apparently, committing
suicide.

*** The previously mentioned Carr family, two of whose members
died violent deaths and who seem to have been connected to the
Son of Sam killings (i.e. John Carr and Michael Carr), also had
two members on the Yonkers police force. Quoting from Emory's
reading of *The Ultimate Evil*: "I'd have contacted the Yonkers
police force with the information I have, but I think you know as
well as I it would've been another mistake considering the force
employs two members of the Carr family: sister Wheat, and
brother-in-law John McCabe."

*** May 8, 1982 -- 4th anniversary of Berkowitz' guilty pleas.
Leon Stern, Berkowitz' chief counsel at the time of these guilty
pleas, was shot dead when he apparently surprised two burglars
who had broken into his home.

*** Some indications that The Process may have been a front for
intelligence operations. Dave Emory reads from Maury Terry's
book (in quotes), then adds his own comments:

"Sanders said that the FBI, Israeli Intelligence, the
California Beverage Control Board, the Los Angeles D.A.'s
office as well as the L.A.P.D. and Los Angeles Sheriff's
Department, all mounted probes of the [Sharon] Tate murders,
with the Treasury Department involved peripherally. And those
were only the ones *he* knew about."

Well now, what conceivable interest would Israeli
Intelligence have in looking into the Manson killings, if,
*if* we are to take those killings at face value. And I'm not
at all sure that we can.


*** The existence of an elite hit squad amongst Satanists, known
as "The Black Cross". Dave Emory reads from Maury Terry's book
(in quotes):

"At the same time, police in the Los Angeles area and two
former L.A. Satanists sent word that an east coast cult
branch, allied with the Chingons, the Black Cross, was
operating as an elite hit squad for various U.S. satanic
groups involved in drug and pornography enterprises... And as
for the Black Cross itself, it appeared to be closely linked
to the 'Sam' cult in New York, and existed for one purpose:
murder. Its function, the California contact said, was the
elimination of defecting cult members or other enemies,
including innocent people who inadvertently learned about a
given group's illegal activities. [CN -- For example, the
above-mentioned mailman, Andrew Dupres, who after
inadvertently discovering some secrets, apparently was forced
to commit suicide when 'they' began threatening his family.]
Murder, anywhere in the country, was now but a phone call
away..."


*** Dave Emory reads from Maury Terry's book (in quotes):

"Now one of the interesting things concerning the Son of Sam
investigation as well as the Manson family investigation was
that it became very apparent that both Charles Manson and
David Berkowitz, convicted in the Son of Sam case, were
basically 'railroaded' by the law enforcement officials. They
basically 'took the fall' for what was obviously a very very
large conspiracy. Although involved, they were not the main
people. They were tools. And yet the people in the positions
to put them away simply did not investigate the conspiracy."


*** Dave Emory comments, then reads from Maury Terry's book (in
quotes):

...Queens D.A. John Santucci was convinced that David
Berkowitz did not act alone and he wanted to pursue a
conspiracy. However, the conspiratorial aspects were
basically "deep sixed" by [Bronx D.A.] Mario Merola.

"While at Police Plaza, Santucci sat in on some of the
questioning of Berkowitz and formed the opinion that
Berkowitz was lucid and not 'demon possessed' as he then
claimed, and that the .44 case might well go deeper than it
was presented to be. His own evaluation of the evidence left
him with nagging doubts concerning Berkowitz' alleged sole
responsibility."

"Santucci then pressed for a Berkowitz trial, but was
persuaded by Eugene Gold in Brooklyn and the Bronx's Mario
Merola to allow Berkowitz to plead 'guilty' without any
dissidence. Santucci's reluctance to yield to the pressure
reached the media and he was criticized by 'its sources' for
his stance."


*** Emory and Terry both think that Mario Merola deliberately
ignored evidence of a conspiracy behind the Son of Sam killings.
Regarding Merola, Emory makes the following observations:

1) During World War II, Merola was in the O.S.S., the forerunner
of the CIA:

Well one of the interesting things about his background in
the OSS -- the late director of the CIA, William Casey, was
in charge of all secret intelligence in Europe for the OSS.
Now a number of people who were in the OSS went on to careers
with CIA. And I think it's a safe assumption that not *all*
of those are a matter of public record. The CIA has long
sought to have people in various positions that could be of
use to them. District Attorneys are one of the positions that
they like to be able to control. Also, coroners, is another
one that they like to be able to control. It *may* be, I say
it may be, that in fact Mario Merola never really left the
intelligence community at all and continued to work for CIA.
An even more likely possibility, I think, is that he reacted
the way many people who are veterans of the OSS reacted --
although not actually in the service, they continued to do
favors for the intelligence community [i.e. an "old boy
network"].

2)

Mario Merola was the prosecutor in the Raymond Donovan case.
Donovan got off, scot free. And in politically charged and/or
intelligence related cases, one of the ways of throwing a
case is often to have a deliberately weak prosecution. [CN --
see, for example, the Chuck Harder/Linda Thompson interview,
in which Thompson charges that that is *exactly* what
happened, i.e. that the prosecution was deliberately weak for
*some* of the defendants in the Waco trial.] Now in the David
Berkowitz situation, Merola definitely messed the bed very
badly by accepting, basically, an *incredible* "lone nut"
confession and ignoring the obvious indications of a much
broader conspiracy.


DAVE EMORY [Continues]:
Had the Son of Sam case really unravelled the way it might
have... an entire aspect of American history and political
science would have been revealed that is not only unknown to most
people, but frankly, would seem incredible to an awful lot of
people under the circumstances.

One of the points that we've tried to make, throughout the course
of our discussion of *The Ultimate Evil*, is that, again, the
*Satanism* is one of the things that throws people off. The
intelligence agencies have *long* used occult groups as a front
for activity. For one thing, occult groups exist at the periphery
of public scrutiny and therefore are ideal to use as intelligence
fronts. In addition to that, because of the unusual activities of
occult groups, any suspicious activity on the part of an
intelligence agent *using* these groups could be laid simply to
the bizarre nature of the group itself. [CN -- also, first
amendment protections for "religious" freedom would help shield
them from investigation.]

Now specifically, vis a vis mind control, many, many of the cults
on the scene today are, in fact, mind-control fronts for the U.S.
Intelligence and Military communities.
