I was a CIA sex slave!

>> Or so Brice Taylor claims in Thanks for the Memories, the latest in a slew of conspiracy books

by CHRIS BARRY

Conspiracy theories come and go, but every once in a while a claim pops up that is so grandiose you know it's just got to be true. Take Brice Taylor, for example. In her new book, Thanks for the Memories, Ms. Taylor claims to have been recruited by the CIA as a child sex slave and offered up as a teenage funbox for the likes of Bob Hope and Henry Kissinger.

A celebrated bigmouth on the conspiracy circuit, Taylor alleges to have been an unwitting victim of Project Monarch--apparently an offshoot of the notorious and well-documented CIA mind-control program MK-ULTRA. Much of which was conducted right here in Montreal at the Allen Memorial by local nutcase Dr. Ewan Cameron.

A CIA-controlled sex zombie for most of her early life, Taylor says she only became conscious of the abuse she suffered in 1985, when a near-fatal car accident left her with severe head trauma and shook up a couple of loose screws in her cranium. After the accident she started having "memories--very frequent memories" of all kinds of sexual torture inflicted upon her by the CIA in the name of a Satanic-Illuminati-New World Order conspiracy to control people's minds and rule the world.

Lest you be too quick to dismiss her outright, remember that Taylor, a hot-looking little blonde number, is not the first person to suggest that the CIA has been involved to some extent in ritualistic child abuse and the production of child pornography. The most sensational accusations having come from Cathy O'Brien, who in her 1996 book, Trance Formation of America, claimed that as a CIA-brainwashed teenager under Project Monarch she had been fucked by every president from Ford to Clinton, not to mention having bumped uglies with Tommy Lasorda and legendary pervert Boxcar Willie. According to O'Brien, even Hillary Clinton took a nibble on her teenage puss in a one-off CIA-sponsored lesbo sex feast. And then there was the time that George Bush, strung-out on heroin, turned himself into a lizard alien right before her very eyes--after having fucked her like a dog, of course.

Sketchy dealings

But as outrageous as O'Brien's and Taylor's claims may appear, and admittedly both authors seem to fall slightly short on one arguably important element, namely proof, noted conspiracy theorists such as Alex Constantine and Ted Gunderson have both come forth recently claiming to have evidence linking the CIA to a host of nefarious activities, including CIA-DOD links to a pedophilia scandal that rocked the community of Manhattan Beach, California in the 1980s, as well as to a sketchy cover-up of similar activities in Franklin, Nebraska involving high-ranking GOP operatives and a crooked Savings and Loan. Gunderson, for his part, claims to have proof on video of a CIA splinter group known as The Finders, who, according to U.S. Customs documents, were involved in a kidnapping scheme involving child sexual slavery.

So what's the deal here? Are Taylor and O'Brien just a couple of paranoid kooks trying to put the blame on the CIA and poor old Bob Hope for their abusive childhoods, or could there possibly be an element of truth to their stories? Certainly they wouldn't be the first people to have been sexually abused as children and grown into seriously delusional adults.

Or, is it possible that Taylor and O'Brien are CIA-sponsored dupes whose claims are so outrageous that they distract and discredit the more substantial allegations recently put forward by the likes of Constantine? God knows these spy types are tricky bastards, and misinformation and discrediting political and potentially subversive social elements are their stock in trade. Just ask Noam Chomsky about it some time.

One thing is certain: a quick search on Internet newsgroups will find you thousands of people who claim to have been victims of mind control, CIA-plotted or otherwise. Although their accounts and accusations may vary, the two things they all seem to share is an unshakable belief that there are concerted and organized efforts by outside forces to control their thoughts, and an intense and almost maniacal fear of their oppressors. Taylor and O'Brien may be utter nutbars, but they've sure got plenty of similarly inspired believers.
