thanks hmmm. It does help but does not explain the choice of letters, unless its random. <br>Its interesting cause it reminds me that I did my regular service (eons ago..:-) in a unit called "Technical Services for Intelligence" in the Air force command. While there were some bizarre things going on there, i always thought they only did some photographing, but thinking about it, technical assistance is more than that. <br>--<br>On edit- just to explain my sudden interest. Today there was a big feature in the newspaper with the headline "MK Soddom and Gomorah", it was actually about the gang pedo rape on the air force base. My mind was already going to the "mk" of the ultra family, but apparently it was a pun using the common prefix for all military camps in Israel..it was creepy to think about the deeper implications. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=havanagilla>havanagilla</A> at: 5/7/06 7:57 am<br></i>

[Project Willow]

I don't know this for certain, I've just always made the assumption:<br><br>MK = Mind Kontrolle (German spelling) Mind control.<br><br>It would be interesting to find out.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

<br>Check the Journal Degenerative Diseases Summer 2004 for a history of the MK programs. <br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.progressiveconvergence.com/Aids-made-in-America-Jourv5n3.pdf">www.progressiveconvergenc...urv5n3.pdf</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>They speculate that MK stands for the last name initials of Drs. Robert Manaker and Paul Kotin.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

[LoganSquare]

<br><br>MK stands for Mahane Keva, which is Hebrew for "regular army base". <p></p><i></i>

[thoughtographer]

So, we have one German and one Hebrew reference -- not surprising. I'm going with "Moral Kiosk", "Mortal Kombat" or "Microwaved Ketchup". <p><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"A crooked stick will cast a crooked shadow."</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>
