US Navy Living Torpedoes and Fish Assassins

[Guest David Guyatt]

I am hesitant to raise the subject of a conspiracy subject involving fish - but I do it to illustrate man's inherently cruel nature.

Many years ago now, the US Navy engaged in capturing and training dolphins to act as living torpedoes. They would have explosives strapped to them, a surgical implant placed in their brains and were programmed to swim towards Soviet warships (both surface and submerged I believe) and ram them - or else plant magnetic mines on there hulls. Some dolphins and a few whales were trained to attack and kill enemy frogmen.

Soppy sorts regard this as pure evil.

These covert programmes continue to the current day with the deployment of a trained seal in Iraq for the marvelously descriptively inaccurate "Operation Enduring Freedom"

For those who are unfamiliar with this subject it will seem highly bizarre and cruel. John C Lilly is the man who was instrumental in this --although it was the Pentagon Spychiatrists who took his work and (possibly?) twisted it beyond all recognition.

Lilly regarded life forms as a "bio-computer" that could be programmed:

This has a Nazi element to it too.

My mothers best friend (Austrian) was married to a German whom she met here just after the war. He was in the German army a very bright young man with doctorates in engineering, chemistry and music. He was working on the V1 and V2 bombs and was captured by the British at the end of the war. They brought him to Australia to Woomera to work on the rocket range there run by the Brits. Their marriage ended and he was passed onto the US by the Brits to work at NASA. Last I heard of him (probably dead now) he was working with the US navy at San Diego training dolphins in military work. You can take the man out of the Nazi party but you can't take the Nazi party out of the man it seems. Barbaric isn't it.

For the truly evil, the corruption of innocence is the ultimate spoil of war.

Amen. A nicely turned phrase, Charles.
