I have just read MILABS: Military Mind Control and Alien Abduction and I found it to be very informative and well-documented. It is dedicated to the late Karla Turner, Ph.D. and Dr. Richard Sauder has written an excellent Foreword for MILABS. This book contains a wealth of new information pertaining to alleged alien abductees. I believe MILABS will be a new beginning for many abduction researchers and lay people who are studying the abduction phenomenon. Those who feel that research into the alien abduction phenomenon becomes more confusing as each decade passes may have some of that confusion cleared up. Others who feel there is something stale about the repetitive publication of one abduction case after another, will agree that this book adds much more to the equation.

It is possible the confusion in abduction research is due to the fact that the reader rarely gets both sides of the story. For example, are abductees seeing helicopters, UFOs, or both? Are abductions perpetrated by extraterrestrials or human beings? Is the victim seeing the inside of a UFO or the interior of a terrestrial scientific laboratory? After you read MILABS you will have some of these questions answered and you will definitely want to read the references and papers the authors have annotated at the end of each chapter.

Over the past three years I have corresponded with several of the mind-behavior control victims and MILAB abductees written about in this book. I want the reader to know that these are real people with real families who have had traumatic and disturbing experiences at the hands of an as-yet-unknown group of scientists. They are honest individuals, but more than that, they are some of the bravest people I know. The information they have shared with the public in MILABS is fascinating and very disturbing.

MILABS is written in a concise style and is priced competitively. It is a quick read, but you will find yourself wanting to stop to think about the information you are reading because the implications are not so easy to digest.

An interesting quote from the book is by Dr. C. B. Scott Jones while he was addressing Dr. John Gibbons, the science advisor of President Bill Clinton, concerning the "Rockefeller UFO Initiative:"

"...I urge you to take another look in the 'UFO Matrix of Belief' that I provided you last year. My mention of mind-control technology at the February 4 meeting was quite deliberate. Please be careful about this. There are reasons to believe that some government group has interwoven research about this technology with alleged UFO phenomena. If that is correct, you can expect to run into early resistance when inquiring about UFOs, not because of the UFO subject, but because that has been used to cloak research and applications of mind-control activity." -- Dr. C.B. Scott Jones

The following is the English version of the Foreword I wrote for Dr. Helmut_Lammer and Marion Lammer's German language version of the book MILABS. It is titled Covert Operations and was published in Germany last year. [I have substituted the English name of the book for the German name since my comments refer to both books equally.]

I will never forget that Summer - over ten years ago - when I began searching for answers. I am not sure I really knew what I was looking for, but I went into a bookstore and purchased my first book about the now popular alien phenomenon. After I read that book, my life was never the same. Each page I read was like turning a page of my own life. For the first time in twenty-seven years I realized that I was not alone, and this realization shattered my reality.

The alien abduction phenomenon has become much more widely recognized since the 1960s when it was first reported by a farmer in Brazil named Antonio Villas Boas, and then by an American couple named Betty and Barney Hill. In the United States, a large number of abductees came forward during the 1980s and shared their experiences with a handful of sympathetic writer-researchers. The current decade has brought the publication of many new books about these elusive beings, written and sometimes published by the abductees themselves. For lack of a better term, I am one of those author-abductees.

The alien phenomenon is a difficult subject for many people to accept or understand. It is a contradiction to believe you have had experiences with alien beings or that you have seen an alien craft when your Government has convinced you they do not exist. So, what do you do when you not only see what appear to be alien beings, but standing next to them are human beings wearing military uniforms belonging to the United States Armed Forces?

The United States Government denies they are interfering in the lives of American citizens. It also denies the existence of extraterrestrial beings. Reports by abductees of seeing military personnel working with the aliens has put a terrifying twist to the alien abduction phenomenon. It has begun to make abductees ask the question: Is it really aliens who are abducting us, or is it our Government? After reading MILABS, you may decide it is both.

In 1996, Dr. Helmut_Lammer became interested in my case because of the experiences I had published that involved other human beings, including military personnel. Some of these occurred in what I described as underground military facilities. His thorough and in-depth questioning of several of my experiences forced me to take a closer look at those encounters. His persistent questioning about details I had not focused on and his mention of possibilities I would not allow myself to consider previously, led me to research the mind and behavior control literature from the beginning of the United States' OSS, Office of Strategic Services, known today as the CIA. I began to realize there might be much more to some of my experiences than I was willing to admit when I published my journals in The Alien Jigsaw.

Other information I came across during my inquiry into the subject of mind and behavior control were the personal accounts from mind control victims. Much to my dismay, I learned there were people, not only in the United States, but in other countries as well, who claimed to have been experimented on by members of their Governments. My review of the literature taught me that mind control technology, specifically biotelemetric implant technology, has existed for several decades and this tended to support these individuals' claims. Just as I thought I had incorporated the alien phenomenon into my life, once again, reality as I thought I understood it, was to change.

MILABS is a well-researched chronicle of clandestine activities that have been occurring for many decades. Helmut and Marion Lammer have been resolute in their search for the truth. From the pages of MILABS will emerge the voices of the survivors. The survivors of manipulation in its worst form. In these pages you will learn how physiological and psychological experiments were and still are performed on the unwitting, the innocent and the unsuspecting. Who are these victims? We are people just like you. We are your neighbors, your co-workers, your brothers and sisters, and even your children.

Allow the authors to take you on a journey through madness. It is a history that is supported by documents released through the United States' Freedom of Information Act: from the controversial Project Paper Clip to mind and behavior control; from implants to telepathy, alien beings and beyond. MILABS will introduce you to the history about 'the need to know' and why no Government should have the right to relegate its citizens to such a lowly stature. MILABS is an important work and I applaud Helmut and Marion Lammer for making this information available to the public. After reading MILABS you will never take the truth or your freedom for granted again.
