This is the story of a 30-year search by U.S. intelligence agencies to perfect mind control. Some of those engaged in that search have agreed to talk about it for the first time. One said, I think every last one of us felt sorry to attempt this kind of thing. We knew we were crossing the line. The search would be endless. From brothels, an agent says, we learned a lot about human nature in the bedroom. To the mystical rites of a magical mushroom ceremony performed by an Indian shaman.  There would be victims. One intelligence agency tried to peel this man's mind back to reveal its deepest secrets. I'll live through it, I'll live through it. This man worked on some of these programs. He would write of his work, it was fun, fun, fun. This is the story of the search for mind control. ABC News Close-Up, Mission Mind Control. With ABC News correspondent Paul Altmeyer. Yes, can I buy it? Allow me. Two Michelobes lights. Michelobes makes a light beer? Perfect. The good taste of Michelobes light.

The cycle two formula has just what dogs in their active years need to help stay healthy. And happy with cycle, I know what to feed him. Now get cycle two in 25 pound bags. We are not professing to tell you the complete story of these activities. We are professing to tell you the complete story that we know. But these records that we have uncovered don't tell the story. They tell pieces of it. This is a story that has been told in bits and pieces. This is an attempt to pull most of it together. We know we don't have the full story. We do, however, have some striking new revelations and insights. The story begins here, just off the nation's front yard, the mall. The buildings behind me were the headquarters for the World War II Office of Strategic Services. It was here that the first halting steps toward mind control began. The shaper and molder of OSS was General Wild Bill Donovan. He said of his group's work, we may have made mistakes, but we were not afraid to try things that were never done before. In this anything goes atmosphere, Donovan appointed this man, Stanley Lovell, a Boston industrialist, to break new ground in many scientific and technical fields. Donovan called Lovell his Dr. Moriarty after the Fiendish professor in Sherlock Holmes. Lovell liked the name and posed for this Saturday evening post photo. He later wrote of his OSS job that it was, quote, to stimulate the pecs bad boy beneath the surface of every American scientist and to say to him, throw all of your normal law-abiding concepts out of the window, here's a chance to raise merry hell. It was in this atmosphere that the search for mind control began. This bizarre man would be an active participant in that search over the next two decades. His name is George White, an OSS captain who had formerly been with the Bureau of Narcotics. In his diary, seen here publicly for the first time, White left a legacy of the darker side of American intelligence work. He received his early OSS training at the British-run school at Oshawa, Canada, the same school where Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, was trained. White referred to the school in his diaries as the Oshawa School of Mayhem and Murder. Mike Burke, former OSS colleague of White's and now president of Madison Square Garden Center. Very compelling fellow, mysterious fellow, almost mystical fellow. He was fascinating because you didn't, you knew something about him but not enough about him to really get a fix on him. He also knew a great deal about the swifter elements of society, the gamier side of life, and he was very impressive in his technical knowledge of the underworld, so to speak. He said, one of our men gets speed up. He says, you have to act real fast and teach these guys a lesson. Charles Siragusa, a former Narcotics officer and friend of White's. He thought, come round, he says, and break your kneecaps. And with that one guy laughed. And George White always had a little, a little billy with him. And this one guy sort of snaked. George White turned around and wiped him across the neck with it. Then he picked up a pool steak and started beating everybody up. He made his point. And he made his point. George White was not a man of understatement or subtleties. His boss at OSS, Stanley Lovell, referred to him as deadly and dedicated. In this note from White's diaries, it says, Call Lovell, regarding TD. TD was a rather transparent cover for truth drug. George White worked with the truth drug committee here at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in the nation's capital. They experimented with mescaline, scopalamine, and marijuana on unwitting victims. The committee soon learned there was no easy panacea, no truth drug at this stage. But White and later colleagues would not stop trying. The goal remained the same. As this 1952 CIA memo says, the aim is controlling an individual to the point where he will do our bidding against his will and even against such fundamental laws of nature as self-preservation. But it was a discovery here in Basel, Switzerland at Sando's laboratories by Dr. Albert Hoffman. That led the intelligence agencies of America to believe that they had found the panacea. The discovery was lysergic acid diethalamide, LSD. The film that you see is considered by many experts to be the closest illustration of the effects of a hallucinogenic. One of the first times that anybody had run into a powerful drug that was different than anything else that they knew anything about. John Gittinger, recently retired chief psychologist for the CIA. This is the first time Gittinger has been interviewed publicly. We could disable a whole city by putting a very small amount on a water supply. After all of these years of us, those of us who involved in looking for this secret drug, this was the only thing that began to look for the first time like it might be so. The CIA's interest in LSD was intense. The worry was that the Russians would get hold of it. Were the Soviets into LSD? I'm going to have to say I'm sure they were. But if you ask me to prove it, I've never seen any direct proof of it. But at one point intelligence information received from Switzerland said that Sando's laboratories was about to put 100 million doses of LSD on the open market. And it caused enough concern within the agency that the United States was prepared to buy the entire supply. However, a slight mistake had been made. The mistake has made public for the first time. I just found out on a new CIA document that there were no such large quantities of LSD on the market. John Marx has filed numerous freedom of information suits against the CIA and has unearthed much new material. He is the author of The Search for the Manchurian Candidate, a history of intelligence agency work with mind control. He is a consultant for this report. What happened is that there was a military attaché in Switzerland, an American officer who got milligrams and kilograms mixed up. In other words, he made a mistake of thinking one-one-thousandth of a gram was the same as one-thousand grams, which is a mistake of a million times. So when the CIA got the intelligence that there were a hundred million doses on the market, in fact, there were a hundred doses. The man who would oversee the CIA's research into drugs and most of the agency's behavior programs is this man, Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, a chemist. Dr. Gottlieb declined ABC News' request for an interview. In their never-ending search for the miracle weapons, CIA operatives searched here in the remote mountain areas of southern Mexico for what up to then had been considered a myth, magic mushrooms. They used this man, a part-time chemist with the CIA, to dupe this man, a vice president of a bank and an amateur mycologist or mushroom expert, to try to get to the magic mushrooms and turn them into a drug. But it would be the amateur, R. Gordon Wasson and his colleagues, who would win the race and develop the drug psilocybin from the magic mushrooms. We went into the Mazatec area, far from the highways, remote from Mexico City. There we found that rotten bagasse, as it's called, bagasso, covered with mushrooms. These mushrooms, I didn't know, I had never seen, they were the sacred mushrooms. Wasson would also discover and record the ancient mystical rites of the mushrooms from a local shaman or magical priestess, Maria Sabina. And we were seeing incredible sights. They would go slowly or they would go fast, as I ordained. All your senses are rendered acute. We say that you see visions, you see hallucinations, but that doesn't begin to tell the story. The hallucinations are only part of it. You hear sounds, you smell things, the night was thrilling. Word of Wasson's discovery reached the CIA quickly. Dr. James Moore, a University of Delaware chemist, secretly served the CIA preparing deadly chemicals on short notice. Moore was instructed to get close to Wasson and accompany him on another trip to Mexico to get the magic mushrooms. Internal documents show the CIA felt a drug derived from the mushrooms could remain an agency secret. What in the world were they looking for with the magic mushrooms? I think the best answer to that is that they were looking for fundamental information on compounds that would be capable of causing changes in behavior, changes in mental attitude. Did you ever consider what would have happened if any of these substances were given to say unwitting people? No, I don't remember having considered that specifically. I... What if you... I trust perhaps you've thought about it. Well, I haven't worried about it. I... Your question again, what would I have thought had I known that the... Any of these substances would have been given to unwitting persons. You mean a hostile agent and of another government? No, I think that was probably one of the things I had in mind. I mean testing it out on an American citizen. I guess I must seem very, very cold-blooded about this, but I don't recall ever having been very much preoccupied with that issue. But many drugs were tested in this way. A decision was made at the highest levels of the CIA to do testing on unwitting Americans. As one CIA document says, such testing would be operationally realistic. A former CIA official who worked on these programs describes for the first time how the decision was made. He did not wish to be filmed or recorded. Thus his remarks are read by someone else. I think every last one of us felt sorry to attempt this kind of thing. We knew we were crossing a line. Every decent kid knows he shouldn't steal, but he does it sometimes. We knew damn well we didn't want anyone else to know what we were doing. The decision was made to do testing on unwitting victims. It was decided they should be on the fringes of society because they were most vulnerable. It was the borderline underworld, prostitutes, drug addicts, and other small timers who would be powerless to seek any kind of revenge in case they found out. And as their predecessors had a decade earlier, the CIA turned to George White for help. White was now a high-ranking narcotics official, and by this time the stories about George White were legendary. So the way this says, you may help you, monsieur. And George White was busy talking with me. He made no attention to waiters, so the way to tap them on his shoulders may help you, monsieur.  George White did not mind bending the law, and he knew the street well. He was the ideal choice for what the CIA had in mind. We were Ivy League, White, middle class. We were naive, totally naive about this, and he felt pretty expert. He knew the whores, the pimps, the people who brought in the drugs. White set up so-called safe houses for the CIA in New York, here in Greenwich Village, and later in San Francisco, in this hotel, and in an apartment, a top telegraph hill with a commanding view of San Francisco Bay. While the existence of these safe houses was disclosed last year, details of what took place within them has not been told. A former CIA official who worked in the safe houses reveals that they were used not only for drug testing, but to study sexual behavior and how it could be used to manipulate people. We did quite a study of prostitutes and their behavior. How do you take a woman who is willing to use her body to get money out of a guy to get him to talk about things which are much more important, like state secrets? We learned a lot about human nature in the bedroom. We started to pick up knowledge that could be used in operations. There would be victims in all of this, but as the agency knew, they couldn't fight back. Cementaries from George White's diaries. Clarisse gets horrors. Janet, sky high. As one agency memo says, we have no answer to the moral question. The safe houses were not the only testing grounds. Millions of dollars would be spent on LSD research at universities throughout the country, and word would begin to spread on campus about this so-called mind-blowing drug, and suddenly, there was the counterculture of the 60s. I give the CIA a total credit for sponsoring and initiating the entire consciousness movement, counterculture, and culture events of the 1960s. Dr. Timothy Leary, the 1960s Johnny Appleseed of LSD. The CIA funded and supported and encouraged hundreds of young psychiatrists to experiment with this drug. The fallout from that was that the young psychologists began taking it themselves, discovering that it was an intelligence-enhancing, consciousness-raising experience. I know that some of the studies which the CIA had supported used as subjects people who later became strong proselytizes of LSD. So in that sense, yes, I think that did sustain the perpetuation of the use of the drug. And it's rather ironic, isn't it? The countercase that I would make in relationship to that is to remember that the people who were doing the research were people who would be doing the research, regardless of who was the sponsor. I don't think anybody working in that time in the remotest ever thought that it would blow up into the kind of thing that it did. History will judge the role of the CIA and other intelligence agencies in unwittingly contributing to the counterculture of the 60s through their intense interest in LSD and other hallucinogenics. But for the moment at least, the argument can be made that the CIA helped usher in the age of Aquarius. ABC News Close-Up will continue in a moment.

Tomorrow, starting at 8, 7, Central and Mountain on ABC. Covering a span of history such as we are in this report, one can get sidetracked by the so-called glamour and mystery of espionage work, or by the exotic qualities of some drugs. But what you can't lose sight of is what all of this would mean in terms of individual human beings. There would be deaths. There would be long lasting and harmful effects. The best known case is that of this man, Frank Olson, a chemist employed by the Army Chemical Corps, who in 1953 was slipped LSD unknowingly at a meeting with CIA officials. Shortly after that, Olson went into severe depression. He ended his life at this New York hotel by diving through a shaded closed window in his 10th floor room. Frank Olson was the first known fatality in the CIA's LSD program. Olson left behind a widow Alice and three children, but it would be years before they learned the real story of his death. Shortly after his suicide, Alice Olson was visited by Dr. Sidney Guttley, the man who had administered the drug, and by Robert Lashbrook, his deputy, who was the last person with Frank Olson the night of his death. It was probably to check me out and see whether I was handling myself and handling the situation, whether I was hysterical, and I'm sure they left the house feeling ever so much better because I had been gracious and hospitable to them so that I must have played right into their hand and made them feel fine. 23 years later, how did you feel about that meeting? My anger was unbelievable at how I had been duped for this length of time and the anguish which was unnecessary. Anyone who knew during all of those years never told Alice Olson the real story of her husband's death. She was discovered by accident more than two decades later. It was a 22-year-long cover-up. Lyman Kirkpatrick was Inspector General of the CIA at the time of Frank Olson's death. But had not the Olson case occurred within the secret confines of the CIA, would not this case have been a prosecutable case? Perhaps, my way, I would think very definitely prosecutable and certainly from the point of view of Mr. Olson, why it should probably have been actionable. Frank Olson's suicide slowed down the CIA's testing of LSD and other drugs but only momentarily. The CIA was not the only government agency interested in the possibilities LSD and other drugs presented for mind control. The Army Chemical Corps first started working with the CIA and then branched off on its own. It, too, tested drugs on unwitting victims and a death would result. The case of this man, Harold Blower, a tennis pro seen here with his daughter Elizabeth, is well known. In 1953, Blower was a private patient at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. He was given five injections of a mescaline derivative that was being tested secretly for the Army Chemical Corps. With the fifth injection, Harold Blower died. As with the Olson case, a 22-year cover-up followed until finally the Army admitted the real details of Blower's death. Since the initial news stories of Harold Blower's death, close to 5,000 documents previously classified have been released by the Army and obtained by ABC News. They provide valuable insight into Army activities at the time of Blower's death and where the Army went from there with their own drug testing program. From a previously classified deposition of Dr. James Cattel, who administered the mescaline derivative on the purpose of the drug testing to produce symptoms similar to those that you see in schizophrenia on how much the patient knew about all this. We didn't delineate all the possibilities of what might happen because then you contaminate your experiment. Cattel then relates that he never even knew what drug he had given Harold Blower because of the secrecy of the Army experiments. We didn't know whether it was dog piss. This was secret. This was a secret. We weren't in on it. We asked Blower's daughter, Elizabeth, for her reaction. What? How can anybody react to that? I mean, it's so far from what you'd expect from a human being. Never mind a doctor. Never mind a professional specialist who's supposed to care about people's minds. It's... It's unbelievable. A suit filed by Elizabeth Barrett against the Army Chemical Corps is now pending in federal court. Other Army experiments continued on mental patients around the country. Work done at the Tulane Medical Center in New Orleans involves several drugs, hallucinogenics, and electrodes implanted in the brain. The chief researcher was Dr. Russell Monroe, now head of the psychiatry department at the University of Maryland. These are various progress reports written by Dr. Monroe and recently obtained by ABC News. From one of the progress reports, a report of a woman who had electrodes implanted in the brain and was then given LSD and other drugs. She became agitated, cried, lapsed into a trance-like state, felt as if she were about to have a convulsion, experienced waves of darkness and light, had bizarre sensations in her neck and legs, said somebody was trying to manipulate her body. At this point, Dr. Monroe wrote that the woman was obviously having paranoid ideas. As a lay person, perhaps you can enlighten me. What therapeutic effect would the type of experiment that I just described have on a patient? Well, the therapeutic effect would be indirect. Was this patient aware that she was being given LSD? Yes. I mean, they were told that they would be given some medication and they should have... Specifically LSD? Well, we told them... I don't think that they would have even known what LSD was then at the time. They were told that they were going to give... they would be given some medication which might make them feel worse. Dr. Monroe, what do you think the Army Chemical Corps was looking for in all of this testing? They were looking for an incapacitating agent, an agent that would not harm the person permanently, but would incapacitate them temporarily. That seemed like a humanistic way to wage a war if war is necessary. When James Thornwell was given LSD by Army Intelligence in 1961, this time it was no experiment. This time the express purpose was to peel back Thornwell's brain to bear any secret within it. This time the Army had gone operational. Thornwell, as reported on ABC last January, was an Army private stationed in Orleans, France. Classified documents were missing from his unit. Thornwell became a suspect. His two-and-a-half-month interrogation included administration of sodium pentothal, hypnosis, isolation, and deprivation of sleep. Army documents obtained by ABC News refer to this interrogation as conventional. Despite this severe questioning, Army Intelligence was getting nowhere with Thornwell, and it was decided to slip him LSD. For 16 years, Thornwell never knew what had hit him. Tell me about the acid. Oh, rather not. It's a bad trip. It's a bad trip. That was a bad trip. The pain was so excruciating, it felt like somebody was sticking me with a million pins. You know, just everywhere. I walked around. What's up? No charges were ever brought by the Army against Thornwell. He was discharged for psychological disorders. But an Army psychiatric evaluation of Thornwell obtained by ABC News, one which was done prior to Thornwell having been given LSD, says of him, fairly cooperative, oriented, alert, and gave no evidence of psychosis or depression. From the Army's point of view, this type of LSD interrogation was a success. Other documents refer to the exploitability of interrogation subjects, cracking them, keeping them off balance mentally, and providing an economical, speedy, and productive aid to interrogation. From James Thornwell's point of view, it was no success. Thornwell still has serious problems. He's run through two marriages. He maintains he can't hold a job, can't concentrate, has nightmares, and feels socially and emotionally isolated. Last fall, Thornwell filed suit against the government in federal court.

This is David Schumacher who won a gold medal at the Pan Am Games. Join us at 11.  One of the most chilling experiments we have uncovered took place at this gothic estate called Raven's Crag halfway up Mount Royal in Montreal. It houses the Allen Memorial Institute of Psychiatry of McGill University. It was here that the CIA funded a series of experiments, severe experiments. The work was done by the Institute's then director Dr. Ewan Cameron. It is the closest experimentation to brainwashing yet disclosed. His work unprecedented in psychiatry consisted of three areas which he called sleep therapy, psychic driving and the ultimate deep patterning. Dr. Maurice Dongier, current head of the Allen Memorial Institute. In his psychic driving so-called type of therapy he would give the patient intensive electric treatment in order to make the patient regress deeply, become forgetful and then he would attempt to implant new ideas in the mind of the patient. Now, to a layman it would appear that Dr. Cameron was trying to take the slate and wipe it clean, the slate being the mind. In other words, brainwashing. Exactly, that's a very good comparison. Brainwashing? Yes, probably. Val Orlico of Winnipeg, Canada, the wife of a member of the Canadian parliament was a patient of Dr. Cameron's. She entered the Allen Memorial Institute because of severe depression. She describes for the first time publicly the LSD therapy and psychic driving treatment that she was given by Dr. Cameron. And then the drug began to take hold very rapidly because it was an IV injection and things became very furry and very frightening and had a lot of sensations that it's very difficult to recall. Nobody explained it to me, nobody ever asked me if I was willing to do it or anything. He had this feeling that he would be able to get through the resistance of illness and to reach deep changes very quickly. I don't think that when you look at that in retrospect, the hopes that he had have been in any way fulfilled. But Cameron would plunge on. The next step was what he called psychic driving. This involved almost endless tape-recorded messages and more drugs for the patient. Cameron wrote that this was the way to make direct control changes in personality. I thought this was the coldest and most impersonal treatment that anybody could give to anybody in the world. And I became more and more despondent and more and more angry. I just became so despondent that I thought I can't live like this any longer.  I stood on the curb of that street and I stood there and I thought, okay, go, okay, go. And then I thought, what if you're not killed? What if you're just maimed?  And I couldn't do it. The most severe technique Cameron used was depatterning. He described it as breaking up the existing patterns of behavior by means of intensive electroshock therapy with prolonged periods of sleep. He carried out these experiments in something he called the sleep rooms. People in there were like babies. They cried and they were very disoriented. They were afraid of the sleep room. We used to walk very carefully against the side of the corridor that was opposite the sleep room with our backs to the wall when we'd go by. Cameron used this combined sleep electroshock treatment on patients as long as 30 days. One patient, he kept asleep for 65 days. Cameron retired and his successor, Dr. Robert Clayhorn, ordered a follow-up study on the patients treated with his depatterning method. It showed that it was no more beneficial in its result than the use of more conservative methods. But the follow-up study showed that 60% of those who had been depatterned still had amnesia for periods of anywhere from six months to ten years. That's quite a memory loss, isn't it? That is a memory loss. Indeed it is. It's, I think, more than desirable. In retrospect, does Dr. Cameron's experimentation and his treatment appear harsh? I would say yes. This forceful type of approach that I was describing to you is definitely... it can be said that it's harsh. I wouldn't call it harsh. I would say it was harder on the staff than it was on the patients because these people had to be fed and cared for and they had to be given sufficient fluid and food and toilet it and so on and so forth. It was a very difficult thing for the staff to follow these patients properly and see that they did well. Well, I'm glad he was concerned for the staff. I wouldn't... I could have maybe had a different kind of life and that makes me angry and sad and I don't know how to explain how I feel, really. I just... I'm just... How did you feel when you learned that Dr. Cameron's experimentation was financed by the CIA? Well, I thought... Oh, I can't even use the word that I thought because I thought that bastard and he was too smart. He knew. He knew who he was working for. And, um, excuse me, but I just, you know, I just can't... sometimes I can't believe it and yet I know it's true. If you had the opportunity to say something to the people at the Central Intelligence Agency who financed this study, what would you say? I... I realize the CIA is a very important organization and they have a very important job to do, but God, it surely doesn't have to be done on people who are totally incapable of knowing what's happening or having any defense against it. And I... I can't imagine the mentality of people who would do this. I just can't. As were Dr. Cameron, he died in 1966 while mountain climbing. A colleague wrote of Cameron, for him the ends justified the means and when one is dealing with a waste of human potential, it is easy to adopt this stance. Dr. Cameron seemed ideally suited for what the CIA had in mind. The shape of things to come. Don't worry, they just got lucky. I'm sorry, I let us down. Forget it, we'll beat them next week.

Thursday, starting at 9, 8, Central and Mountain on ABC. It was the Cold War and especially the trial of Joseph Cardinal Menzanti, who was forced to testify in a Hungarian court that he was a spy. And then later the Korean War with the coerced and mainly fraudulent confessions of American servicemen. That would spark intense interest in intelligent circles about brainwashing. The CIA secretly commissioned a study of communist brainwashing methods at the Cornell University Medical Center. A leader of that study was Dr. Lawrence Hinkel. He explains first the Russian method of controlling and breaking a person. Absolutely isolated from everyone else. With one man whose job it is to get you to write the extent to which you are a criminal. In this setting, you can get people to do most anything, do you see? Because you don't have to lay a hand on them.  He says, yes, I was a spy. The Chinese never really had this kind of a state police system. They would get him in and all his fellow does is ask, you write, rewrite, rewrite, and talk to him about your whole life. While the purpose of the study was to find out about communist brainwashing techniques, CIA documents show that the agency was interested in developing mind control methods of its own. To precondition and control Chinese living in this country to be sent back to their homeland by CIA agents. What do you think they were looking for? Well, I think they, no, they weren't looking for, they weren't like agents or anything like that. Yet the agency's perception of the work you were doing, in CIA documents we have examined, it says that the project that was being done here, they intended to use everything learned about the new agents to induce them to quote, to perform acts of a complex purposeful nature. Yeah, but that was never done. That sort of thing was never done. Those people were not, that was when they first came here, the first people they sent up to see us, do you see, were, were operational type people from the CIA with some rather, rather wild ideas. Okay, this is their perception of it, if I could just continue. No, it wasn't their perception of it either. Now it wasn't dangerous to us being contrary to the previous consciously expressed intentions and interests, contrary to the good of the individual and subversive to the goals for which you consciously were. Yeah, I understand all this talk, but the situation wise you see, those things were never done because wise people on both sides, we were not able to do this and are interested in it. They were though. Some of the low level people were, but the high level people were not, to tell you the truth. But documents clearly show that the CIA was attempting to develop agents over whom they had as much control as possible, agents who would perform tasks contrary to their own good. Normally conditioned American has been trained to kill and then to have no memory of having killed. His brain has not only been washed, as they say, it has been dry cleaned. Is a Manchurian candidate controlled by others to do things against his will possible? It was a remarkable film because as far as I'm concerned, it made something totally impossible. Seemed absolutely credible. I would say the answer is yes, but there are many qualifications to that. Dr. Milton Klein, a psychologist, a clinical and experimental hypnotist and unpaid consultant to the CIA. The qualifications would be the subject selected to produce the kind of behavior that you wish, the amount of time, the procedures that are utilized and the motivations of the people who are designing, executing and administering the procedures. You're asking whether an individual can be under hypnosis influenced, coerced, persuaded, shaped to perform an antisocial act or a destructive act or an act of violence. My answer would be yes. Captain Marco, you'd be good enough to lend Raymond your pistol please. Yes, ma'am. Through the forehead. Yes, ma'am. How valuable a tool can hypnosis be in the intelligence field? None whatsoever. It has absolutely no use because nobody's ever been able to do that that I know of, do it in an operationally feasible way. I'm not in any way saying that hypnosis doesn't take place. I'm not saying there's nothing to it. I would say that most government agencies concerned with intelligence operations have been looking to hypnosis as a tool for a variety of purposes, one of which is to carry out and to execute certain intelligence operations on a basis where they would not have to rely completely on some of their own emotional reactions. Actually, they're in terrible murder. It could, if you consider that an act of killing someone under circumstances of war is murder. I think one has to define what that means. Under circumstances of peace. Under circumstances of peace, it would be murder. Another former CIA agent says that Fidel Castro at one time was considered as a possible target for a Manchurian candidate. Castro was naturally our discussion point. Could you get somebody gung-ho enough that they would go in and get him? But if you have 100% control of a guy, you have 100% dependency. If something happens and you haven't programmed it in, you've got a problem. So in the end, it was decided that a Manchurian candidate was not feasible. But the search for mind control continued. But could the mind be controlled? Perhaps not. But is human behavior predictable? In this area, the CIA did make a significant breakthrough. A personality assessment system designed by the agency's chief psychologist John Gittinger. It comes close to being able to predict how humans will behave. It's really a descriptive system, an attempt to try to describe personality in a relatively systematic way that hopefully you can get some kind of an idea to predict what the behavior between different kinds of individuals. Gittinger's system had many uses in intelligence work. One was to draw personality portraits of world leaders. Using Gittinger's system, the agency concluded the Shah of Iran is a brilliant but dangerous megalomaniac whose basic problems resulted from an overbearing father. And there were other applications. Your assessment staff played a key role in helping other governments pick their police intelligence agencies, including we've learned the Korean CIA, Uruguayan National Police. Can you tell us about this? No. Author John Marks, the former number two CIA man in Uruguay, told me how in 1966 John Gittinger and an assistant traveled down to Uruguay and gave the tests in order to select members of the Uruguayan Intelligence Service. A psychologist who used to work for the CIA told me in 1961 he personally traveled to South Korea as part of an American CIA effort to set up the Korean CIA and to give the personality tests to candidates for the Korean CIA to choose the best man for their secret police. But one of the basic functions of getting your system was finding the vulnerabilities of an agent, a double agent or a potential agent. In its applicability to intelligence work isn't the PAS system looking for a person's soft spot? Well, of course, the answer to that is yes, but I hasten to say soft spot this is what I consider a negative word. Of the hundreds of behavioral projects undertaken by the CIA Gittingers appears to have been one of the more successful and more conventional. Other experiments were not as conventional. Neurophysicist Dr. Jose Delgado was financed by the Office of Naval Research. In this experiment the bull is sedated. Electrodes are implanted in its brain. Delgado transmits an electronic impulse to the center of the bull's brain. Delgado has remote control of the animal. Recently released CIA documents refer to the feasibility of remote control of animals and that special investigations will be conducted toward the application of selected elements of these techniques to man. Other areas were examined through the 60s and 70s. Brain surgery, psychosurgery, creation of amnesia, parapsychology, manipulation of genes. Even though past and present CIA officials have indicated this kind of work ended in 1963. And one of those who took part in these programs in 1977 the Senate subcommittee heard testimony from many of them but the testimony was not that revealing. According to one of them they agreed amongst themselves to keep the inquiry within bounds that would satisfy the committee. Former narcotics officer Charles Syragusa says that he was asked to limit his testimony by the man he reported to at the CIA. He wanted me not to say anything. To perjure yourself. That's right. Well, either that I'd have to perjure myself or take the Fifth Amendment and I'm not about to take the Fifth Amendment for anybody. Former CIA chemist Robert Lashbrook runs safe houses when in fact he supervised one of them. And according to George White's diaries was at a safe house when White conducted what he called an LSD surprise experiment. Dr. Sidney Gottlieb whom we recently filmed near his California home oversaw many of the CIA behavioral programs. He retired in 1973 and destroyed the records of this work. In sort of a valedictory letter Dr. Gottlieb wrote that he and his colleagues had been able to maintain contact with the leading edge of developments in the field of biological and chemical control of human behavior. Dr. Gottlieb also testified before the Senate subcommittee but from an anti-room where he could not be filmed because of what his lawyer termed health and cardiac problems. Dr. Gottlieb declined ABC News request for an interview. With George White, the man who helped the agency and so many of its programs he would retire here to Stinson Beach, California and shortly before his death he wrote to his boss at the CIA Dr. Sidney Gottlieb and summed up his career by saying it was fun, fun, fun where else could a red-blooded American boy lie, kill and cheat steal to see rape and pillage with a sanction and blessing as mine control been achieved from all of the available evidence it appears doubtful the human will has prevailed up to this point but as we have seen work is continuing in this field work that we still don't know very much about how deeply are the Russians and other dictatorships into all of this we really can't say and the CIA is reluctant to give out information about it but the basic question remains what place does all of this have within a democracy one final point should be made as one of the persons who worked on these programs told us we are very capable, conscientious and very dedicated scientist working for our country their work speaks for itself this is Paul Altmeier for ABC News good night here's a great idea potato peeler nope, hair curler it's vanish bowl freshener freshness in a snap snap it under the rim and it freshens two ways it's always there to freshen then when water hits it extra deodorizer and detergents are released working best when and where you need it when the bowl's fresh the bathroom's fresher snappy idea vanish bowl freshener vanish for a cleaner bowl and a fresher bathroom what do doctors recommend for pain today those doctors number one choice is the pain reliever in anison five million recommendations last year for pain of headache backache, minor arthritis and muscle ache the ingredient in anison is the doctors number one choice anison is strong a special combination of medical ingredients free of stomach upset for millions everywhere the ingredient in anison doctors number one choice stay tuned for local news next then live from the Johnson Space Center in Houston, ABC News will track the approach of Skylab as it nears re-entry Skylab, The Final Hours right after Twiggy and Dirk Benedict of Battlestar Galactica star Ian I Want Her Dead on the Tuesday movie of the week tonight on ABC this has been a presentation of ABC News here's its final orbit an arrest in the kidnapping of that newborn baby a rockstar sentenced for income tax evasion and a local gymnast talks about her winning performance in San Juan News 7 is next for Pepco's energy-wise home audit to help


on how bond markets are trading. Simon and Michelle joining us live now from FIG Securities. Simon, great to see you there. Thanks very much for joining us. Now, we've been watching a lot of the volatility in the oil price at the moment. Higher oil prices once again that we're observing. That is raising those inflation expectations and subsequently pushing yields higher. Absolutely, and good afternoon. And that's certainly what we're seeing in the long run of the curve. Yields have continued their move upwards as we approach that Fed move on the 15th. Interestingly, 30-year U.S. Treasuries are now at 3.1%. That is 1% higher than the low they reached back in July-August. So fairly significant movement on that long 30-year curve. And of course, we have been watching a lot of this data that's coming through in the United States. That all-important jobs figure, the non-farm payrolls figure is being released tonight. What are we expecting? And if this sort of widely varies, do you think we will get quite a savage market reaction? Well, I think we've seen some fairly solid data coming through, both in the labour market, also in spending and in manufacturing. So I think it would take a fairly disappointing result to... I suppose to make people think that the Fed might hold back. I think there's been a flurry of fairly good results. And I think, more importantly, really is that inflation assumption. You know, the base rate of inflation now around the 2% in the U.S. That was really the key issue that has eluded them for quite a while. So I think, you know, unless it's something way out of expectation, I don't think it's going to have much of a difference, Leanne. So if we do continue to see those oil prices moving higher, I mean, of course, a lot of those big moves coming after the OPEC meeting this week, do you expect inflation expectations to continue on the rise? Well, I think they certainly could in the U.S. I mean, this is all really based on two things.  And then you've also got what's happened in relation to the oil price pushing up as well. So you've got a growth factor there on, you know, the Trump policies and inflation. I think, you know, it's a wait and see. I'm not really in bed with the policy expectations and whether they'll play out. I think that growth expectation might have been overdone. You could see some pullback on the long end of the curve there. Inflation-wise, I mean, absolutely, you know, if this oil price continues and we get that further with commodities, you're certainly going to see that increasing over time, as well, Leanne. Simon, I think you sort of alluded to it earlier. I don't think there's any question about whether the Fed will move in December. I think there is, well, almost 100 per cent chance that they will hike rates in December. I think the question now is what happens going forward into 2017 and whether March, say, for example, will be on the cards. What is the expectation? What is the bond market telling us at the moment for those expectations going forward? Absolutely, Leanne. That's a really good question because remember when we got the tightening in December last year, we then had the Fed create four dot points through 2016, of which they had four further rate increases. Of course, none of those have happened, and here we are in December expecting the first one for this calendar year. So it's going to be really interesting to see, you know, the yield curve certainly is moving upwards and certainly, you know, is starting to build in further increasing increases by the US Fed. But it's really going to be interesting to see what the Fed's view is and how they want to position the market, you know, whether they want to be familiar, whether they're going to wait and get that election, that, you know, wait for the new president in January and wait to see some of those policy initiatives come through. Look, I think we're all sort of waiting to see that from the Fed. Yeah, watch and wait. I suppose. Does that go for Aussie yields as well? We're seeing them higher? Look, we are. Absolutely. I mean, interestingly, if you have a look at the Aussie two year at the moment, and that was down about 1.45, then that's now at 1.8%. So, you know, certainly, our yield curve is not suggesting any downward moves by our RBA. That's largely on the back of the fact that if USU moved their yields up, that takes a lot of pressure off of our yields comparatively so. So, the RBA would be very happy with that. But fairly significant moves on our curve as well. So, are they sustainable? That's the big question. Yeah, it certainly is. Now, domestic bond issuance. Tell us what you've been watching. Look, it's interesting. There's not a lot happening out there at the moment. In fact, I just checked in with our traders. They said it's a bit quiet, maybe in the lead up to that Fed move. But we are seeing some good issuances by some of the regional banks. We've had Suncorp Metway issue. We've had Bendigo and Adelaide Bank out there as well. So, you know, I think people topping up. They've seen these upward movements and they're just topping up a bit of issuance before they move any higher perhaps. All right, excellent.  Thank you so much. Have a good day. Thank you, Leanne. Simon and Michelle joining us there from Fig Securities. Well, let's...


Hi, I'm David Cantor with the Law Offices of David Michael Cantor, and welcome to my blog. Today's topic has to do with Andrew Thomas recently dropping his $47 million lawsuit against the county. Why is this important? On Wednesday, August 31, 2011, Lori Roberts, who's a columnist for the Arizona Republic, put out an article talking about all these public officials who are suing the county and costing the good taxpayers lots of money by making their claim. Now, I don't necessarily agree with her. I think if you've been harmed, you have a right to file a civil suit, but that's not the point. Here is the point. Apparently, Andrew Thomas emailed Lori Roberts right afterwards, according to the Arizona Republic, and stated, I thought I should let you know I've dropped my claims against the county and the state and won't be filing a lawsuit. I decided this is the right court of action, despite all that's occurred and that somebody should lead by example in this time of economic crisis. Wow, that sounds great. Well, here's what's not so great. Later you've filed a notice of claim against the government entity. You have to file it within 180 days. Once you file it, they have 45 days or so to respond, and if they don't respond, then you're allowed to file a lawsuit. Well, lawsuits are expensive. You have to hire a real lawyer who knows how to draft it, and you have to pay filing fees, and you have to go forward. So he hadn't actually filed his lawsuits from what I understand, and maybe even if he had filed them, maybe he couldn't afford to keep going forward, and this is the perfect time to say, well, I'm going to go ahead and drop it. Look how magnanimous I am. Here's the second thing. The state bar is going to begin their hearings on September 12th, deciding if they should disbar this guy. In my opinion, he's trying to curry favor. He's trying to get this big quote of how magnanimous he is and curry favor with the state bar. I hope it doesn't work. I've talked about Andrew Thomas, ad nauseam. Yeah, I have many other blogs I've posted, and I've called out to the bar many times on my blogs, finish this already. This should be a no-brainer. Hold your hearings and bar any new dynamic evidence, disbar this guy. But that's just my opinion. Tell me what you think.


Welcome to Helix, the first professional wireless security system that can be easily installed any place in the home. This is chapter 2 of the Helix series outlining how to install expansion cards into the panel. Everything you need to install the Helix security system comes standard in the box, and it's possible to order a Helix system from the factory with all desired option cards installed and tested. This video will cover the process of adding a card in the field based on the needs of a particular installation. To install the option cards, you'll need to remove the cover of the Helix system as shown. Press the button on the top of the Helix to release the cover, then lift to loosen the tabs at the bottom of the panel. Place Helix on a flat and secure surface to prepare for card installation. There are three expansion slots in Helix. The two larger cards are for cellular and Wi-Fi communications. The third slot is used for translator or Z-Wave communication cards. The connectors highlighted are where the pins are receptacle on the expansion card interfaces with the main board. There are also three or four holes on each card, allowing for mounting pegs to be attached. Be sure to remove the backup battery prior to installing any expansion cards. The most common expansion card is a cellular communication device. This should be installed in slot one, allowing for proper installation of the internal antenna. Be sure to align the four pre-installed mounting pegs into the holes on each corner and the communication pins with the main board connector as shown. Press firmly and evenly over each of the corner posts until it snaps securely into place. Put the antenna in the holding slot located near the sounder of the Helix system. Wi-Fi and Z-Wave cards have built-in antennas and don't require this extra step. The Z-Wave and translator cards are connected in slot three near the Helix battery. Align the three mounting pegs into the holes in the corner and ensure the pins on the main board align with the connector on the expansion card. Press firmly and evenly until the card snaps into place. Once all expansion cards have been added, you can reconnect the backup battery and power the Helix system to verify proper operations. You should see LEDs on the expansion cards eliminate confirming power and communications are available. Once confirmed, you can replace the cover of the Helix and complete the installation of all other sensors and peripheral devices. Thank you for your interest in Helix.

Kinda. Technically I own this house, but I can't afford to actually sleep in it. So, that's how this got built. Technically, I live in this little structure that I built here, on the bike path, on city property. The really convenient thing is that when my grandparents had the house built, it was the perfect location on the bike path. So, now that it's constitutional to sleep on public property, I said, all right, well, I know how to solve this problem. I'll just sleep on the bike path and rent out my bedroom so that I can afford to, well, rent out my bedroom and the rest of the whole apartment so that I can afford to keep the house. I am the fourth generation to live here. My grandmother and my grandfather built the place in 1963. And my great grandmother lived in the mother-in-law apartment. Love it here in Burlington. It's beautiful, family all from here, but there's been a lot of changes over the last few years that have made it a lot harder to beat landlords here. What kind of changes? Well, tax increases, for one thing, tax increase after tax increase after tax increase. It's literally like every single time you turn around or sneeze, the taxes are increased. It's like rabbits. All of a sudden, we just get a notification that there's new taxes or some new regulation or some new thing that they're going to make us do. This is my favorite. There is this program from Efficiency Vermont. They do this test, and they can test where you need to upgrade your insulation or if you need a new furnace and all this stuff. Well, I was like, sure, $16,000 worth of renovations. They recommended $200 a year in savings on our gas bill, the whole house, 80 years to recoup the cost of those. They're trying to make that a permanent requirement for landlords to do. I'll be dead when those savings are realized. You're welcome, granddaughter. Here's the deal. I'm a resourceful person, and I don't take things lying down. So I said, you know what? I'm just going to live on the bike path. It's totally legal to live on public property. Last year, we had to do some renovations for safety. You know, put a little stair under a window, add some railings down into the basement, stuff like that.  So I built my lovely, lovely structure here. Look at it. You got all this, not all this air right here, living, got the grass out there, getting the phytonutrients from the, you know, getting grounded really close to Mother Earth. I mean, I mean, I'm as close to Mother Earth as I could be without actually being on the earth. So, you know, it's just, it's a great way to remember where we come from and get back to our roots. In addition to the extra money we're making off renting out the whole house, I've come up with some other ways to make a little extra money off of this beast here. I'm real entrepreneurial, right? I told you, I thought I could make some different money, some extra money. Can you picture your business advertised right here, right here, on the bike path for everybody to see? Perfect money. That's what I'm talking about. Boom. I sleep out here, hang out out here. The Wi-Fi signal's really good so I can do my work out here even. And I just shower in the bathroom in the basement and hang out. You think that I could do that, but there's these silly rules that the ceiling has to be a certain height. It's crazy. So, I use the bathroom down here, which is great. The bathroom was built, you know, years ago and my grandparents still live here, but it has to be a direct vent furnace. So, we got to make it all go out the, out this window instead of the chimney. And so, it's basically just like, yeah, you have this whole huge basement with multiple doors and windows, which you can't use it anyway because the fire marshal came for an inspection and he said, and he freaked out, he totally freaked out. He actually got really mad at me. He was like, you can't live down here. And yeah, there's two doors and three windows. The windows aren't big enough and the doors are not windows and therefore they are not included as forms of egress. So, therefore, air go, I'm not allowed to sleep down there. So, my grandparents actually built the basement to be extra bedrooms. So, you used to be able to sleep down there. The ceiling height is an issue, the egress is an issue, and then we would have to buy a new furnace. There's just not really a way to live in the basement. I don't think I'd want to anyway. We've got a tenant that's awful. Susan. She's awful. So, my grandparents had that gazebo built and they even had a horse and chickens, goats out here. Susan. So, why do you dislike this Susan person so much? Let's start with she hasn't paid rent in three months and I'm trying to evict her and I can't. They make the process really, really hard here. Even when people aren't paying rent or destroying property or whatever, my tenants have more rights to my property than I do. I've considered becoming a tenant of myself hoping that maybe that would give me rights to my property more since my tenants seem to have more. But then I was told by my lawyer I couldn't do that. But yeah, they're actually even trying to get rid of no fault evictions. They make it sound like no fault eviction, but you know, I own this house. Long day landlorden, fixing stuff, putting stuff in a way, making sure things are safe for my tenants.  And that's homeless landlord living.


Hi everybody, it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft. Thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm going to be showing you how to make this really fun invisible impossible card or floating impossible card and it's using acetate. I got the idea from TrimCraft So thank you guys again. You've done another awesome card and I'll share their links in my video description below and also on my blog This is made from acetate and you know what personally? I think this is how they should all be made. This particular impossible card It should be done with plastic because of the way the fold is done If you're not familiar with it It's it's classed as an impossible card because it's all done from one piece of card and you twist it So once it's twisted you wouldn't believe it's all connected. That's where impossible comes from But because I've made the card once I love it and my tutorial is done extremely extremely well And the cards I made people love them the people I gave them to really enjoyed them But I know ten years down the line if you like me and you keep those special cards I'll pull that out the envelope and it just won't pop up anymore. It just won't it's card and The fibers would have broken down. It's just not going to have the longevity I should say whereas this being on plastic this is going to last and pop up forever and ever and ever And it is genius. I absolutely love it So I've done this using a six size And I've used the trim craft hails coupled itch beach life papers And I've used the decoupage a little scene here on the front and this one just says just for you And then on the back it's got happy birthday and you can write your little message I've made a matching envelope as well, which I'll talk you through But that will go flat in that envelope like so can be in there for weeks on end And then I as soon as they take it out It just pops up and it flaps around and it's just it just doesn't get damaged You still have to be careful with the weight you don't want to put too much on the front or too much on the back For example, but yeah, I think now whenever I'm going to make an impossible card It's going to be using acetate Plus it does give you that fun look of it floating or looking like it's you know It's an invisible piece when that's you know the photos taken that white piece doesn't look like it's attached And you kind of wonder how it's just sat there. So from a distance when that's on the mantle People will probably come up and look a bit closer to see how it's all done. So yeah, absolutely love this And let's crack on and make it. So I've got lots and lots of bits here I'm going to give you lots of tips and show you lots of stuff So I've got my envelope punch board to do the envelope later on I'm going to probably use the beach life Little puffy stickers here, which is the bunting and I've cut to sorry I haven't cut I've popped out two other little scenes here from the beach life decoupage sex I'm not sure which one I'm going to use yet. So I've just got to just got everything kind of ready to go That's all the bits to show you my acetate that I'm using is crafters companion. That's all it says on here So I will find more information. I'll pop that all in my blog for you But you want a strong you want a thicker acetate because some of the acetates you can get a very very thin Try and get something that's a bit thicker. It's just going to help overall That is the decoupage pack. It's brilliant. They are so lovely the critters. They're just the illustrations She is an amazing artist and I just I've really enjoyed using these so that's that one and then That's going to be my envelope for the next one So just pop it in there and this is the paper pack that I've used so beach life again You can see all of them. I've used this in quite a few tutorials now again really really really like it So first of all I have done my template Because we're using acetate it's going to be too hard for you to see what I'm doing on the acetate So I've done this template for you.  Okay, so that will give us our a six size card Then what you want to do Pencil and everything in here And I will link my other impossible card up here because that is a five by seven So it's a bit bigger but again the base just changed to acetate and then you've got the same card All right, all the mats and layers will be the same So you don't need to change anything. This is just the base the base of the card the main bit is using acetate So this is the six and a quarter inch length here You want a mark at halfway so at three and one eighth of an inch just put a pencil mark there then along the bottom You want to So that's six and a quarter so you this time I'm coming in at one and a half from each side So one and a half put a pencil mark and then come in at one and a half at the bottom there put a pencil mark Then along the side bit here You want to mark halfway, so it's four and a half so two and a quarter a pencil mark and Then do it at that end as well If you don't have one of these Tim Holtz rulers or a T square ruler Then just mark again a two and a quarter at that end Now what you're going to do is join those two pencil marks together So the two and a quarter you're going to do a line right the way through remember This is your template you're making okay and Then go back along here where the one and a half and the one and a half inch little markers are and just do a pencil mark from Those up to that middle two and a quarter inch score line and pencil mark Sorry, and then the middle one here that three and a quarter little pencil mark that you've done You just again want to do a pencil mark into the middle so that is now what you should have So it's your a six four and a half by six and a quarter Coming in here to the middle which is three and one eighth of an inch Then on the other long side you're coming in at one and a half inches from both end And then you're just joining those pencil marks into that middle two and a quarter inch one Okay, so that's what you should have and that will be on my blog Then what you want to do is grab your acetate So this is now what you will have is your your main base Which is the six and a quarter by four and a half. Okay, pop the acetate on top of the card and what I found works best is grab some washi tape and Just pop it On both ends making sure it's completely lined up over that card So just spend a bit of time getting it nice and Lined up because if this is off then it will It won't make your card won't work properly Then put some more washi tape.  So I'm just going to I'm probably going overboard with the washi tape But I would rather it come out perfect And this will all get peeled off anyway. Okay, so just don't put washi tape over these Pencil lines here. It doesn't matter about the side ones because you're not cutting down there. So now we've got that all ready Grab some scissors and you're going to cut up this two This one and a half inch pencil line Okay, and again cut up that one Okay, and then flip it round and then cut down that three and one-eighth of an inch So okay Now next you want to do is score now I've seen so many people and loads of people have done the impossible card and Most people score right the way through and on the one that I done I didn't because it does weaken this side part plus it does an unnecessary score line that you do not need So all you need to do and as I showed in my other tutorial Where you've got these two pencil lines here So where you've come in at one and a half on each side, you're just going to score From each one so from this one to that one right through the middle there And that's just going to help us be able to fold that plastic neatly. You just want a nice fold Don't score right the way through people have said do it for ease and for quickness. Yeah, okay I get it but really this is just as quick and just as easy So and it just basically now we have a nice area here on our left and right hand side with no Score line through because we're going to be sticking our paper over that so it looks nice Okay, so now we can remove all of the washi tape Okay, and this is what you will now have so you will have a cut piece exactly like this I keep that because that's a great template and you can keep cutting I use that for the first one. So it just yeah, just handy to have add it with all my other ones So now what I'm going to do actually is I'll show you on this one. So what you're going to do So you've got your two In the for the instance for the sake of this video. I've got my two one and a half inch sides Facing away from me. So imagine this is the acetate that I'm holding what you want to do is just bring this one towards you Okay Keep the left hand side where it is don't move it but this one here this one and a half inch I now want to face towards me. Just twist it around like so Okay, so I'm going to grab my piece of acetate. These are my two little one and a half inch sides And I'm just going to bring that one round towards me Then what you want to do is where the score line was is just Fold that into place So you just want to kind of embed that score line that we made So you need to fold it one way and then you need to fold it back the other way like so So just show you what I've done. So this is the imagine. This is the acetate I've brought that round and then all I've done is folded this this way and burnished there and Then folded it back that way and burnished it there So then that pops up Okay, I'm going to pop that back so that's my template and now you should have this piece of acetate I put it there with this piece in the middle just popping up and that's the impossible The way because if you look now people looking at that be like how the hell have you done that? That's one piece of card and even my husband was amazed by it. So it is it's very very clever So that is our base. Okay, so you will have this piece flapping at the top Just like That's how yours your acetate should look right now. Okay, hopefully this is all Making sense now. We need to do all of our little mats and layers to go on top Now there are lots of different ways to do this some people just put a Big piece of paper card all on the bottom which you can do So once you've got this and you you know play around as there's loads of ways to decorate it What I've got here is again two templates for my For my mats for these pieces here So we're going to be doing these kind of owl shapes And we're going to have the base mat and then the the decoration the top layer there So best way to do this is you need to cut your pattern paper to two and seven eighths of an inch by four and a quarter okay now I'm Showing you this template just so then it makes it easy for me to Explain how I've done my pencil marks to work to show you where to cut so along Your long four and a quarter inch side here. You want to come up two inches and just mark a little pencil mark Then along this short side at the top here You want to come in by one and a quarter and mark a little pencil mark From that one there you then want to come into your card I Just get this right sorry now I've done it from the two inch sorry so come in from the two inch marker into your card and Put a little pencil mark at one and five eighths of an inch okay You then want to join the one and a quarter pencil mark here up to that one and five eighths and then join that two To the one and five eighths here So you will have this this is your back-to-front L shape here, okay So if you want to do it as a template then what I've done is popped it over my paper and Then just done a pencil mark and then again Just along that side and just do a pencil mark there and then I've just come in By that one and five eighths of an inch. Okay, so now I'm just going to do my pencil marks and join So just done the template just to explain to you just so you can see it visually But that's what you then want to do on your pattern paper. I've just got some sticky Okay, so then cut that one out. So just do the one first So this is the one with the back-to-front L. I've just showed you so I'm just going to cut that out and Like so okay So now what you need to do is just pop that over the top of your other piece Because you will have two pieces of this size and you're then just going to cut it out again So you're going to have two back-to-front L shaped pieces of pattern paper like so So one is going to face this way and then all you got to do is twist that one round and it will face that way and again If I use my template So that's the one that we brought forward. That's how it will look So just bringing the template so that's how it will look now actually what I've done is I've cut them Look you can see they're not going to go so all you need to do is pop it back into the way It was and bring this side in front of you instead Okay like so All right, so originally we brought this one towards us Pop it back bring that one instead So if any of you have done that in the past I know lots of red comments and people said they got their mats and layers the wrong way around All you've got to do is just flip the base. So there you go So now that one is going to sit and that one's going to sit in there And you can see you get that nice even border. So now we need to do the same with the Layers that are going on top. So I've got this really fun ice cream and lollipop paper from that same pack. So again I've done another back to front L. Okay, and this piece is on a Five and five eighths. I'm sorry two and five eighths of an inch by four and This time you want to come up The long side here one and three quarters of an inch and put a little pencil mark Come in from the top here at one inch and put a pencil mark and then from this one and three quarters You're going to come into the card at one and five eighths of an inch Okay So again, I'm just going to mark Cardstock so I didn't do this one Okay, so I've just done my little point there and I'm just going to join up There's pencil marks. This has got a glitter on it this paper So it's a bit harder to draw over this fine So again, just I'm going to remove the pencil mark slightly on this one So just don't have to worry about rubbing out over the top of this fancy paper Just adjust really neatly like so And again, just sit up directly on top of your other piece and Just cut around it. Okay, so again, I'm going to bring in this template Which imagine is the acetate just you can't see it in the video And then that one will go on top and we'll go like so Okay, so now you want to stick them down So I'm bringing in my piece of acetate which is still in that form with the it's still Facing that way Okay, you can see it there I just so hard with the acetate to show you well, that's how it is But remember what I said just put it back into the flat form and bring this side over instead Okay, so I just put mine back into its flat form and bring that one round and just you just rework the Scorelines that's all so it's it's not a an issue, but I know a lot of people have Said that it the matzah lez They've just completely like confuse themselves with but all you've got to do is just flip it around the other way That's all so I'm going to go ahead and get those all stuck down now on my acetate Okay, so it's all stuck down now and you can actually start to see the shape of it much much better there Okay, so now you need your pieces for the actual Flap I guess the main front part of your card So you want a piece of white or whatever card you're using But this white card in my case is three and a half by two and a half And then you'll need two pieces of pattern paper which are three and a quarter by two and a quarter So you just want to stick one of your pattern pieces down First on top and then we're going to stick that one on now it will overlap if I bring it up here Can you see the acetate is inside the white square which is great But you want to bring it up about a quarter of an inch from the bottom to create that look that it's floating So you can see there I've got a gap if I push it right down like so you're not really going to get that that look But if you bring it up like that you can see now So about a quarter of an inch and then you should have about your one eighth of an inch overhang of This white card from your acetate square So what I would say is stick your double-sided tape just on the back But you don't want to you want to give it a frame you want to leave a white frame Sorry because you're going to be sticking This other piece so if you can see where I've just stuck my double-sided tape I haven't gone right to the edge here I haven't gone right to the top and I haven't gone right to the edge there I've gone closer to the bottom because that's going to be sticking on the acetate But basically what's then going to happen? So it's going to be like That roughly This is then going to go over the top and obviously you don't want to see any of that double-sided tape Okay, so that's going to cover the other side So I'm going to get this stuck down first and then hopefully you'll be able to see it a bit better Okay, so I've just stuck it down on the back there So I've come up about a quarter of an inch from the bottom and then you can see where that double-sided tape is It's not overhanging.   I'm just making sure you've got that nice One-eighth of an inch border all the way around. So that's my back. That's my front and look you can see it just it It just doesn't go anywhere. It's brilliant. It's just yeah, I absolutely love it Then I've got this piece here. So this is three by two. I've already stamped happy birthday I've already put some of my double-sided tape on the back and this is going to stick onto the back panel So again, make sure it is the right way. Yeah Yeah, the lollipops there although that looks good like that. I don't guess this doesn't really matter But I really like that piece there. So I think I'm going to change it. So I'm going to have this now This is going to be my back. So I'm just going to pop that like so So that's now my front and then I can decide so I've got this little piece here just to join across There which I really like and this is from that decoupage set. So I'm going to pop that one So just to say and then on the back it says happy birthday See this these work great for thank you cards as well. I'm just going to pop that along there You could have one long strip again. Check out my other one Because that's a different design altogether, but this is two and five eighths of an inch by about half an inch Okay, so that's just going there and now I can decide whether I want to have those Guys there or him I don't know.  That's it done. So there's the back That will fold and go into a card. So now to make the card. So the envelope. Sorry. So I've got again Paper pack I'm going to use that nice green and this one is So when it folds down It will come over So this is your Did I say that was that's four and a half? It actually comes over by another four by another half an inch almost So it makes that five and a half. So it becomes a five and a half by six and a half So you want to be using the sorry five by six and a half.  So the six bars are five by six and a half So your first score line is at four inches. So I'm just going to grab this piece here Line up my card at the four inch marker And just score don't worry if it doesn't or just does it on this one Then I like to rotate my whole piece round. So flip it round and again do that same At four inches and then all you got to do is use your score guide and just line up Your score line that you've made with this piece here Punch and then score and it will perfectly meet up there and then rotate that whole piece round Since doing it this way I find I always get perfect envelopes So there we go Get rid of all of that And then just burnish all of your score lines Inwards Okay, I like to corner punch all of my Points there That that is optional and there is one on the envelope punch board, but I find it's two It's quite a small one. I like it more deeper No, just decides doesn't really matter with this one. Fold in your sides. Oh gosh Just pulled my whole board there. Um, and then just run Some tape along the two Inside the smaller pieces. Okay, and then just bring that one over Like so There's your envelope. How lovely does that look so just to show you fold it all down flat And pop him in Like so and you can see now when it's folded over it just meets the top of your envelope And that is all perfect now and again So you can be in there for a couple of weeks or however long you bring it out and it just naturally pops up because it's plastic it is just Again, I love it. Absolutely love it. So for me, this is how I'm going to be making my impossible cards now Um, I love love love love with card and I think they are still brilliant But if you want it to last a lot longer Um, then definitely I would say use the acetate. So this is my version of the floating or invisible impossible card Hope you've enjoyed it bringing the other one there as well. These are really fun I think it helps with this paper as well. I just think they look brilliant So if you've enjoyed today's tutorial, please give me a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel to see more. Thanks for watching. Bye


between Iran and Andrew and I'd like to exploit those differences now a little bit And I think really if we're being honest with each other that the real difference comes down to The issue of reason and revelation and the attempt I Think Andrew you want to marry reason and revelation or Athens and Jerusalem And Iran on the other hand, I think you you want to move away from revelation and Jerusalem towards something towards reason and A secular based form of ethics. So can I can I get the two of you to now sort of Just explain to us Why why you think reason revelation? Must go together and why you think that they can't Marriage is too strong a word Because they represent two very different sources of authority and of information and One is revelation inexplicable comes to you and the other is reason which is inductive and The truth is that humans need both That we need our reason to navigate the world, but we're also aware In our world that we can't know everything and that there are things that happen to us Life events deaths illnesses and in the past so many more Completely unpredictable events that could upturn or overturn your lives, but you also need meaning You need a structure for your life to understand Why are we bored here and then die? What is the point of this impermanence? What is the point of this? this fragility Now Pascal had a beautiful expression Pascal as you may know was probably one of the most brilliant mathematicians in history An unbelievably brilliant brain Regarded as one of the highest peaks of in his time of science who converted to Christianity Overnight and wrote this really amazing little book. We didn't really write a book He just jotted down little things and thoughts he had and put them together and never compiled them But they were put together posthumously into a little book called the Ponce thoughts and in it He just simply says the following phrase In French, it's l'usage et soumission de la raison which is the use and submission of reason That we use reason to figure out as much as we can figure out But then there are things we will never figure out and That's when we surrender to mystery That's when we surrender the fact that humans are fallible That our brains are not as big as we'd like them to be that we don't know as much as we think we know That a certain humility in the face of the world and of death is the is the sanest point of view and that Ultimately that is what matters Reason is what gets you through the day and the reason is what gets you to see and the reason why they're related is because They're both and have to be both about truth What is true and The West is very Very interested in this. What is true? You don't have to believe that you could just say who has power Which is what many people on the far right and the far left argue, which is it's all power There's nothing to do with the reason and there's no God. It's just human beings controlling other human beings Well, the West has sort of said And I when I say I mean this is massive Generalization I'm talking through the years that the logic has run. No, no Reason can figure stuff out reason can show us things. It can't give us meaning But it can give us a way to live and solve the immediate problems But there is something about that Every human life we have a problem We try and figure it out. We solve it But guess what as soon as you've solved it another problem comes up think about it. So there is no end To this practical reasoning. It is it is what a philosopher. I studied called the deadliness of doing That's reason. It's it's deadly in the end and what you want at some point is an ability to transcend that spiritually Psychologically emotionally and that's why all the great religions have always existed and that's the contribution that Buddhism can make and the Christianity can make a Judaism can make and Islam can make to to making our lives Worth something that was too long and I know I'm doing my best. No perfect so so I agree that it's all about truth is all about finding the truth and discovering truth and Truth can only be discovered by reason There is no truth through revelation revelation is completely arbitrary and subjective and this is why The Jews and the Christians and the Muslims and the Buddhists all disagree on what that truth happens to be and and are quite willing to slaughter each other on occasion in the name of that truth because indeed There's no way for them to really communicate those truths because they're not linked to anything in reality They're not provable by reason. They're just my revelation is different than your revelation So the only way for me to Convince you in quotes is to use force against you and and and much of Those wars that are in really the the recognition of the disaster of war the recognition of the horror of war Really enters Western civilization After the religious wars of the of the of the 17th century, you know This is this is what motivates John Locke to to write what he writes and the enlightenment to kind of recognize that there has to be something More than these futile religious wars and there has to be a Principle by which to guide human interaction when they in a society The principle law comes up with as individual rights and I think he's right with regarding that principle But no I think indeed religion is the antithesis of reason It says there's a certain realm in which we cannot reason in which we have to accept stuff by faith Well accept stuff by faith by what standard from whom? You know if you're Catholic it's from one source if you prostrate Protestant from another if you're Jewish from another from Muslim you another and there's there's no way to arbitrate the differences between those There's no way to discover what the truth behind them is So, you know, I would even say that to a logic stand Religion has been the counter force to Western civilization Really from the beginning the enlightenment which I think is the kind of the real beginning philosophically at least of a Western civilization arising is that period in time of which religion is relegated to smaller and smaller places in human life It's taken out of politics is taken out of the public square and it's left for you in your home to do with as you will it's Diminishing religion is diminishing through this period I think that it was a healthy phenomena and a phenomena that ultimately led to more freedom more individuality But it did leave a hole and the hole is meaning because people still do need meaning they need purpose and I think that the that search for meaning is Is hard it's there's a certain simplicity to say it comes externally comes from an ancient book It comes from a certain mythology It's harder to say it's your individual responsibility to find that meaning to find that purpose in your life and Here's some principles to use your reason to use that inductive ability that you have to find purpose to find meaning But I think that's the answer at the end of the day It is up to you as an individual to find purpose and meaning in your life to use your one tool of knowing reality Your one tool of discovering truth to discover what your purpose should be in this life And I think the ultimate purpose of your life is Your own happiness, but again all of that needs to be fleshed out and thought about in terms of what is happiness and what does it mean? To achieve happiness or to pursue happiness. What does it mean to have a purposes in the individual? But the only guide for us to really be doing any of that is our mind is our ability to reason our ability to think and The more we rely on some external factor like a God like a religion like an ancient book The more we give up on our own mind The more we're likely to clump up in the kind of tribes that that I think we both agree are kind of enemies or problematic in our world Whether it's religious tribes or other tribes it is it encourages or discourages us to look for truth not just in the realm of science but in the realm of Philosophy in the realm of morality to look at what should be the guide to life To a large extent, I think the disagreement is is goes back to Greece like everything else does To the disagreement between Plato and Aristotle on certain deep philosophical grounds at the Aristotle truth was in the world And to Plato truth was in another dimension. It was in the world of forms I think I think when we look into a different dimension for truth I think civilization declines I think we saw that after the rise of Christianity would in in the Middle Ages through the Middle Ages and when The respect for science respect for reason respect for this world the respect for individual human happiness Rises that's when you get civilization. What has that civilization produced? That's as beautiful as Shatra Cathedral Well to me Shatra Cathedral is not as beautiful as it is to you in in a sense that I think what the cathedral Message of the cathedral when I walk in is how little are you how big is and and I don't I Don't find that as beautiful or as stunning or as Was spiritually meaningful a standing before David, right or standing even Falling waters standing, you know, I give Frank Lloyd Wright standing in falling waters and having that sense of weightlessness and that sense of This is a space for me This is a space I can be happy and I can't be happy in that cathedral that cathedral is a massive burden on my shoulders Trying to crush me. It's telling me how puny and insignificant. I am versus God versus the religion versus the tribe versus you you are puny and insignificant No, I'm not so am I no neither of us all we are and that's that we are ephemera and we will be forgotten What we need today what I called a new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason by the intellect Not by feelings wishes women's or mystic revelations Any man or woman who values his life and who does not get want to give in to today's cult of the spare cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist Using the super chat and I noticed yesterday when I appealed for support for the show Many of you step forward and actually Supported the show for the first time.
