High Society

-
MGM released "High Society" on July 17, 1956 https://share.google/sBiRNtaqXW1puLTiN Three weeks later, on August 4, my twin brother and I attended a party at Ravenscrag mansion on Mount Royal. It was for children only, plus the scientists. A few children died that sweltering afternoon playing games like "Jack in the Box". After the fun and refreshments -- LSD-spiked punch served in plastic cups -- they put on a record. Boys and girls paired up ballroom-style and danced to "True Love" sung by Grace Kelley and Bing Crosby. I danced with the boy from England.

Letter to Camille

Hi Camille You have been sending me emails intended for Ellen Atkin. "What is your plan?" you ask. "We are praying for this." I hope this answers your prayers. My plan is to straighten out the vexed issue of journalistic ethics. Or at least you seem vexed by it. I can see your X posts although you have blocked me, so I followed your link to that Auticulture podcast just to find out why Jasun called me a "yellow journalist." He didnt really- he said making statements of fact without proof is "yellow journalism." In this case, I was talking about evidence that had been removed or hidden between one visit to the Cohen archive and the next, six months later. It's an interesting conversation with no real hint of yellow journalism. I was honest about what had happened but Jasun was impatient because my "proof" had vanished, therefore the whole story became unbelievable in his mind at the time. I talked about the difficulty of producin...

Keeping track of MkUltragirl is a lonely dirty job but someone has to stalker

(2023) Yes the Ellen Atkin story needs to be told. I'll have a go. It begins in Quebec where she was born in April 1962 - to parents who were both patients of Dr Ewen Cameron who abandoned his practice in 1963 when he submitted his resignation and eventually left McGill under a cloud of disgrace. Many lives hung in the balance and many of his victims never recovered. Six months later John F. Kennedy was shot, the CIA shut down Cameron's lab and Cameron moved back to Albany where he died while mountain climbing. It was a turning point for many of his victims. The Atkins moved back to southwestern Ontario, which became Canada's new MKULTRA hub. While Ruth was a late Boomer, Ellen and her brother were neglected, abused, Generation X kids -- all three going in and out of social services and institutions while their mother lay in bed and their father hobnobbed with the likes of Marshall McLuhan. Chosen at age 10 to be a page in the Ontario legislature, at 15 Ellen ran a...

Supersoldiers R Us

Four years ago I was working as a caregiver to the elderly, for a private Montreal company that catered to well-off clients, including two senators, the wife of the man who designed the Montreal metro, the mother of a McGill psychiatrist specializing in adolescent schizophrenia, and other fascinating people. One of my last clients was a beautiful, elegant 70-year-old woman whose husband had recently passed away. She now lived alone in their two storey duplex in a middle class neighborhood. Her client description was nothing special ("Highly intelligent. Likes to talk. Can be repetitive.") but didn't prepare me for being a live-in companion to a woman who I began to realize had been MKed while growing up in a remote northern village, and had likely killed people -- at least that would be my guess judging from her scattered references to violent events in her past. The more she talked about her life (in long staccato monologues delivered across her tiny table in a crampe...
