Jolyin West also visited both Sirhan Sirhan and Timothy McVeigh in prison, testified as an expert witness at Patty Hearst's trial (re 'Stockholm Syndrome'), and was a founding board member of the infamous False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF), which was set up in 1992 to discredit victims of SRA and other forms of child sexual abuse (the pedo connection). West was one of the top MKULTRA scientists serving directly under Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, who headed it all.  Louis Jolyin West was living in the Haight-Ashbury district of SF at the same time that Manson was living there after he was released on parole (1967). Manson's parole officer at the time, Dr. Roger Smith, ran a free clinic in the area at that time that served as a base for drug-related MKULTRA programs. Smith served directly under Dr. Gregory Bateson, who was mentored by Aldous Huxley, a Tavistock head-shrinker who introduced hallucinogens to the CIA in the 50s. One of Smith's staff volunteers who helped to get the clinic a $25,000 grant was Inez Folger, the mother of Manson cult member Abigail Folger, and heiress to the Folger family fortune. Abigail helped fund Manson with her credit cards and provided him with a car to drive around in. Another person working under Smith was a guy named Al Rose, who spent time on Spahn Ranch studying Manson's mind-control techniques. He and Smith later wrote a paper on this for the Journal of Psychedelic Drugs (September, 1970).  Funny how these people all connect at the top.  If you follow Jolyin West down the FMSF rabbit hole, you'll find a whole bunch of CIA pedos who were rigging court cases with their own Tavistock-trained 'expert witnesses' like pedo Jolyin West to discredit victims who remembered being abused as children. In some cases the victims they were targeting were abused by some of these same people, who in some cases were the victim's own parents.  There's that generational trauma-based mind-control and pedophilia rearing its ugly head among the 'elite' families once more before it's quickly buried again.  Like many of these other head-shrinks, West was a master hypnotist (not something that just anyone can be trained in or licensed as, since it involves things they know about the human mind that they want to keep very secret). Through MKULTRA, they had designed a method to bury the memories of victimization by first traumatizing the victims to the point of inducing MPD so that the memories of their abuse were stored in an alter personality and the original personality could survive the situation without any memory of it. To assure that these memories wouldn't resurface later on, they added false memories on top of the real ones by using RHIC-EDOM tech (sophisticated shock-treatment tech that the CIA prepared a 350-page manual on in 1963) to erase their memories immediately after the traumatization and then use hypnosis (and some stagecraft) to implant false memories to fill in the memory gap. A lot of victims during the early experimental stages of this (1940s-1970s) were reporting encounters with UFOs and aliens brandishing probes. Who would ever believe them besides 'conspiracy theorists'? (This was the start of their purposeful development of the 'conspiracy theorist' label.) Later they started using satanic themes because it was easier to pull off and fit right in with the normal repertoire of these people.  It was only learned by outsiders through painstaking deprogramming and memory-retrieval under hypnosis that these false memories had to surface before the real memories could be uncovered, and only those deprogrammers who understood this were able to get beneath the false memories to retrieve the real ones. And it wasn't until the different personalities had a chance to start merging together and the mind becoming whole again that the false memories would start to surface. The Tavistock mind-controllers used a double-bind system by hiding the real memories with false memories and then burying the false memories under a blanket of amnesia because they knew the induced MPD and amnesia wouldn't hold forever.  Knowing all of this, it becomes clear why ol' Jolyin would need to visit these people in jail after they were caught.  Other mind-controllers like Margaret Singer have also been known to visit people in jail after they went off the deep end, and have handled their cases in court as 'expert witnesses'. Like West, she was involved with the Manson and Hearst cases, as well as other high-profile cases like Heaven's Gate. She was also another founding member of FMSF.  There is no end to this story so I'll just stop here. I can offer you more if you're interested. I have lots of interesting notes from my years of research.  Happy hunting and wiggywigga! ;-) @Lauraingalls
