Perp with three names and a history of mental illness? Check. Oklahoma City? Check. Bomb plot instead of a boutique mass shooting? Check.

Family members of Jerry Drake Varnell issued a statement late Tuesday night regarding his involvement in Saturday's attempted bombing of a downtown Oklahoma City bank building.

"We as a family are extremely distraught about this situation with our son Jerry Drake Varnell, but what the public must understand is that he is a paranoid schizophrenic and is extremely susceptible to different types of ideology that normal people would deem immoral. Underneath his condition, he is a sweet-hearted person and we are extremely shocked that this event has happened. However, what truly has us flabbergasted is the fact that the FBI knew he was schizophrenic. The State of Oklahoma found him mentally incompetent and we, his parents have legal guardianship over him by the Court. These documents are sealed from the public, which is why no news media outlet has been able to obtain them. The FBI clearly knew that he was schizophrenic because they have gathered every ounce of information on him. Reading the criminal complaint against him has brought us great pause due to the numerous lies from the informant. We do not have an underground bunker! We built our home a few years ago and bought a storage container, as we use it for a storm shelter. We only recently pushed dirt up around it to make it safe. The building is used for storage and is NOT a bunker full of food and supplies, in fact the doors close from the outside. It has neither electricity nor anything that would make it habitable.

What the public should be looking at is the fact that the FBI gave our son the means to make this happen. He has no job, no money, no vehicle, and no driver’s license, due to the fact that he is schizophrenic and we; his parents do everything we can possible to keep him safe and functional. The mental health system has consistently failed us due to the lack of establishments and health care coverage for a person like him. He has attended college and just enrolled in welding school. His medications allow him to be somewhat functional but he will never be completely functional in life. His brain does not work like a normal person and never will due to the nature of his mental illness. He has suffered through countless serious full-blown schizophrenic delusional episodes and he has been put in numerous mental hospitals since he was 16 years old. The FBI came and picked him up from our home, they gave him a vehicle, gave him a fake bomb, and every means to make this happen none of which he had access to on his own. We know who their informant is and what the public should know is that he is that a drug-dealing criminal. On June 15, 2017, Jerry’s Father told the criminal informant “that he was not allowed back on our property and if he returned we would have him arrested for trespassing and drugs”. Apparently, he continued to sneak onto our residence. The FBI paid him to continue this operation and I believe they have cleared his criminal record.

The FBI should have filed conspiracy on our son and had him committed to a mental institution. They should not have aided and abetted a paranoid schizophrenic to commit this act. There are many more facts that I will not make public that will support my son and the disturbing acts made by the FBI.

I realize that many will say my son could have found another person to commit this act. Yet, any person that has access to the materials and the state of mind necessary to bomb a building would not have any need for a schizophrenic who has no resources to contribute. Schizophrenics always have conspiracy theories and feels everyone is out to get them. They trust no one and there is no doubt in my mind that this informant began this hate against the government and my son followed along because others easily influence him. There is no person in his life that has even heard anything about hatred for the government and we have all been shocked by the event.

We ask all news media outlets to please respect our privacy. Do not fly helicopters over our home and stalk us at our gates for a story, we are trying our very best to comfort each other because this is a devastating loss for our family. We do not need to be bombarded by reporters who only want to omit important facts of this event. We understand the public wants to know how this could possibly happen. We simply ask them to look at the facts of the case and ask why the FBI made this happen. He is our son and he is a brother and loved one no matter what he has done. We have unconditional love for him, we are heart broken by this event and wish we had been made aware by the FBI, and we would have committed him into a mental institution for help."


FBI agents lie to advance their careers.
Their informants lie to save their junkie asses.
DAs lie to advance their careers.

This is the real world and it doesn't get reported on unless something goes wrong.

Tom O'Neill, "CHAOS," p. 348

Before (Louis Jolyon West) moved to the Haight, he'd supervised a similar study in Oklahoma City, hiring informants to infiltrate teenage gangs and engender "a fundamental change" in "basic moral, religious and political matters." The title of the project was Mass Conversion. As I was soon to see, its funds came from Sidney J. Gottlieb, the head of CIA's MKULTRA program.


Same, p. 360-362

August 25, among a batch of research papers on hypnosis, I found them: letters between West and his CIA handler, "Sherman Grifford. (aka Gottleib)

...

Next West addressed a sensitive matter: who would the guinea pigs be? He listed four groups -- basic airmen, volunteers, patients, and "others, possibly including prisoners in the local stockade." Only the volunteers would be paid. The others would be unwilling, and although it wasn't spelled out, unwitting. It'd be easier to preserve his secrecy if he was "inducing specific mental disorders" in people who already exhibited them. "Certain patients requiring hypnosis in therapy, or suffering from dissociative disorders (trances, fugues, amnesia, etc.) might lend themselves to our experiments."

...

Gottleib's reply came on letterhead from "Chemrophyl Associates," a front company he used to correspond with MKULTRA subcontractors. [b]"My Good Friend,"
he wrote, "I had been wondering whether your apparent rapid and comprehensive grasp of our problems could possibly be real ... you have indeed developed a remarkably accurate picture of exactly what we are after. For this I am deeply grateful."


MK conditioning is a weapon on par with an atomic bomb, but there's one huge advantage: when you set off an atomic bomb, nobody denies what just happened to them.

We're so many decades into this now. Jeff worked so hard and took so many risks to get us this far. It's offensive to me to watch RI turn into another fucking liberal message board.

I am trying to remember a day or time or even era when this wasn't a largely "liberal" or leftiish message board. Politics are in the news just as they were when Jeff started it. This place is just a mirror of what current/remaining members have on their minds. It's not "disgusting" at all and I am sorry for your disgust. But, shit is still wide open for discussion on any topic under the Sun and beyond. No need to have a quick jab at the end of your otherwise thought provoking post. Did you go to show and tell and tell your classmates "here's what I brought but none of you motherfuckers are going to appreciate it anyway so I'm not going to show you"?

Now back to your topic that you were kind enough to show us which I have to re-read now.

That's a brave family, releasing that statement.

Do you think there's any way back from where we find ourselves, Wombat?

Historically, they sort of go hand-in-hand.

Dr. Dan Brown's work with Sirhan, and now Chaos (only read a few scattered pages so far, I need the paper book), have brought home for me the likelihood that 'clinically' conditioned individuals are much more numerous than I ever considered.

There will be degrees, of course, with more experiments than applications. I have a close friend who was in and out of Seattle area mental hospitals for a few years in the 1960s, beginning in his adolescent years. He was precociously antiwar, in those days a reliable sign of early mental illness. He has great recall of that time if only because he constantly replays the events in his mind. The names of his doctors don't bring up much, with one troubling exception (an old journal paper that rationalizes the withholding of patient information from patients).

He remembers a gruff, uniformed military "general" who would appear at one ward on some unknown business.

The one drug he knows they gave him is thorazine, and too much of it. They shocked him, too, though the staff might have done that just out of spite, or punishment for some non-compliance. Who knows what-all they did or what drugs they gave him. He's tried to get his hospital records but only two pages of the most minimal information were produced. He's too scattered to follow up his case and demand more information.

Offhand I'd say he's extremely hypnotizable; he frequently goes into trance, often re-living some ancient injustice. I suspect his germophobia stems from certain 'thorazine' hallucinations he experienced while in "solitary confinement" which was another punishment.

Could he be a sleeper super-soldier? I doubt they programmed him so much as just messed with him. To this day he's passionately antiwar, gets angry over injustice, stays informed, signs petitions, calls his representatives, lectures their staff. He beats himself up for not having done more to make a better world, to dissent more effectively. But he could never, say, organize a protest, he's what they call a basket case. I guess my point is, maybe they didn't bother to program him, they just crippled him.


(Adding to any strangeness, he described to me what I recognized as a classic abduction scenario, that he says happened at age ten, involving his whole family, in the car, at night. He never read UFO lore, but his story is textbook, with one wacky detail that makes it finally credible. From time to time I quiz him for more details, and to check his consistency. Related dots? Maybe I should try to hypnotize him.)

I think "liberal" denotes a very different kind of "left" from the one Jeff espouses...

Yes, yes, we forget so quickly as the mighty Wurlitzer churns on.

Ah, you just don't like the thought provoked by that part of the post, still thought provoking though.
All these things will continue as long as coercion remains a central element of our mentality.

It's only what we make of it. All that shit is up to you if you happen to remain here.
