| There was a Tv doc on his case a few months or so ago. When he was being interviewed be seemed like you imagine a person who had been brought up by wolves and then domesticated would be. As if he didn't quite fit in to the life he had now and yet to come to terms with his past. Honest, confused and probably still angry -and he had every right to be. having been in a position that no other human being had found themselves - |

According to one of the trans people I know who's better read on this matter, David's twin was terrorised extensively by Money too as a 'control subject', and what is refered to as a 'drug overdose' was suicide, probably stemming from this.
Money is also alleged to have been involed in inappropriate physical examinations on children and photographing them naked too.
Amazing what you can get away with when you're a doctor... |

| Quote: | Eugene Mallove, Torch Bearer for Cold Fusion, Dies
Editor of Infinite Energy magazine brutally killed May 14. Left MIT faculty position in 1989 in protest over what he considered to be rigged data intended to debunk Cold Fusion.
By Marc J. Plotkin and Marc Whitford
Pure Energy Systems News
May 15, 2004
NORWICH, CT, USA
Dr. Eugene Mallove, the tireless spokesperson for integrity and honesty in cold fusion research, whose persistent efforts finally persuaded the U.S. Department of Energy to give the phenomenon a second look after 15 years of denial and stonewalling, was killed in Norwich, CT on 14 May 2004. Few facts are known, but preliminary information appears that it may have been a robbery or possibly a landlord-tenant dispute. Local police are still investigating. There is no word on the identity or motives of the assailant(s) and there is no evidence currently of a political connection to his murder.
Dr. Mallove’s contributions to Cold Fusion and new energy research cannot be overstated. His passion for integrity and relentless search for the truth goes back to 1989 where he resigned from MIT over manipulation of MIT's test data (to replicate the Pons-Fleischmann experiment) specifically to discredit Cold Fusion.
More than anyone, Dr. Mallove was the public face of Cold Fusion proclaiming at many public appearances the existence of overwhelming peer-reviewed scientifically based evidence for Cold Fusion. Gene, as he was known to his friends and colleagues, was courageous when he stood face-to-face against numerous vocal detractors and skeptics from the mainstream scientific establishment for over a decade. He tirelessly knocked down every hollow argument put forward by skeptics with hard data, logic, and solid research results.
The author of several books, in 1991, he published “Fire and Ice”, which helped rescue the field of cold fusion from oblivion when it was publicly banished in the public relations scandals after Pons-Fleischman's announcement of Cold Fusion in June 1989.
His greatest accomplishment and legacy will be the 52 bi-monthly magazine issues of Infinite Energy that he founded and edited. Infinite Energy magazine is a compendium of scientific research into all branches of unconventional energy research from contributors around the world. Many of the authors simply couldn't get published elsewhere, but had the courage and foresight to get most papers peer-reviewed before they were published. His magazine has thousands of loyal subscribers from over 40 countries including Russia and China. See www.infinite-energy.com.
Gene traveled to dozens of international conferences, most of the time at great personal sacrifice simply to network with energy researchers and benefactors from around the world. He knew nearly everyone in the unconventional energy community worldwide. Gene has been a champion of cold fusion for many years highlighted by his organizing last summer's successful (International Conference on Cold Fusion) ICCF-10 held in Cambridge, Massachusetts from 24- 29 August 2003. Gene's presence has been the rare voice of scientific reason in a field filled with many phony claims and charlatans. See the web page with the experiments at http://www.lenr-canr.org/Experiments.htm.
Equally significant but perhaps not as well known is the New Energy Foundation, which he founded with the help of a generous wealthy anonymous benefactor. The New Energy Foundation has become a science-based clearinghouse for generating much needed funds for promising energy research leading to commercialization.
His latest triumph was to reverse over a decade of ignorance at Department of Energy by presenting compelling evidence of anomalous reactions of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR). DOE's decision to review the files on LENR aka Cold Fusion could possibly open a new area of scientific inquiry that has been closed since 1989. This was a triumph not just for Gene personally, but for every scientist who spoke as lone voices in large auditoriums. Gene's voice gave courage to those brave individuals who toiled in their laboratories, struggling to survive with virtually no funding, yet many developed innovative ways produce low energy nuclear reactions. Researchers often put their careers in jeopardy and only approached this field when retirement was assured.
Gene tirelessly climbed every mountain with courage and grace articulating truth in a field meriting serious scientific investigation of anomalous energy phenomena despite constant criticism from ignorant skeptics who refused to examine even the best peer-reviewed data. One of the best examples of his battles was when he reviewed Professor Bob Park's book “Voodoo Science.“ This bloody battle was over paradigm shifts in science revealing the complete ignorance of Bob Park by his refusal to consider any peer-reviewed data.
"Gene's vision was of a world with abundant energy produced without fossil fuel or nuclear waste. It is now up to us to fearlessly make that vision a reality," is the sentiment of his colleagues who remain.

DR Thomas Gold
DR Thomas Gold, an astrophysicist at Cornell University whose wide-ranging work touched on lunar exploration, the origins of oil and the creation of the universe, often in the face of accepted theories, has died in Ithaca, New York State. He was 84.
He is credited with a stream of elegant and sometimes unconventional ideas that his peers acknowledged for their daring, without always accepting them. He was best known for a 1968 paper on pulsars. At the time, pulsars had been detected by radio telescopes, but had not been explained.
In 1948, Dr Gold, with Fred Hoyle and Hermann Bondi, proposed a new theory about the creation of the universe, which they named the steady-state theory of cosmology. It held that the universe has remained constant and infinite, with a continuous creation of new matter. When scientists subsequently found they could measure microwave radiation still lingering from the Big Bang of creation, the theory was discredited.
Dr Gold had his most public role in the 1960s, when he advised NASA during its Apollo lunar expeditions. As a member of the space science panel of the President’s Science Advisory Committee, he correctly predicted that the Moon’s surface would be powdery.
Dr Gold weighed in against using the space shuttle and other manned space flights in the 1980s, arguing that instruments and unmanned flights could accomplish nearly as much for science. "Failures of unmanned launches (and there will be some) will cost money, but will not risk human lives, nor the prestige of the United States," he wrote in 1987. "Nor will they subject the entire program to years of uncertainty and delay."
Late in his career, Dr Gold returned to studies of Earth, and he pursued yet another unconventional theory about the origins of oil and methane. His idea was that oil and other hydrocarbons are being constantly generated by a microbial process and are not chiefly the result of decaying organic plant matter. He advanced his ideas in the book, The Deep Hot Biosphere (1999), and proposed that space programmes begin to search for subterranean life, drilling for living microbes on Mars and other planets. He also suggested that drilling deeply on Earth would resolve shortages in energy supply, an idea that has been openly contested by geologists.
Dr Gold, who was born in Vienna, received a degree at Cambridge University in 1942, before doing research on radar for the Admiralty. In 1947, he was elected a fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, where he did research on resonance and hearing within the human ear. He received a doctorate from Cambridge in 1969.
He was a chief assistant to the Astronomer Royal at the Royal Greenwich Observatory before being named a professor of astronomy at Harvard in 1957. In 1959, he joined Cornell, where he was director of the Centre for Radiophysics and Space Research until 1981.
He was a fellow of the Royal Society and a member of the National Academy of Sciences in the United States. |

I was sad to hear that Jack Glass had died (see FT)
I once met him in Cambridge at a debating night at the Cambridge Union (god knows why they got him) and nobledhim about his claims that he could 'cure' homosexuality.
He ran away from me 
(I should put that on my CV realy: Scared Pastor Jack Glass. (He usualy scared other people.)

Well, this was more Fortean than I thought - it seems it was the same , though I never knew any Fortean connection til now!
According to this report (if born 1921) he died in around 2000 http://www.arpnet.it/ufo/leslie.htm
Desmond Leslie dies in France at 79
By Marie O'Halloran
Novelist, second World War Spitfire pilot and spritualist Desmond Leslie has died in the south of France, aged 79.
His wife, Ms Helen Strong, his six children, sons-in-law, his older brother Sir John Leslie and Ms Jennifer Fibbs, with whom he had a daughter, were with him at the time of his death in hospital in Antibes.
Mr Leslie was the second son of Sir Shane Leslie, of Castle Leslie, Glaslough, Co Monaghan.
He wrote a number of books, including the bestselling Flying Saucers have Landed, which he co-authored with George Stransky. It was translated into more than 50 languages. He also co-authored Space Race with the astronomer Patrick Moore.
His novels included Suzy Saucer and Ronnie Rocket and The Incredible Mr Lutterworth. He also wrote The Jesus File. At the time of his death he was working on Pandora, a novel about the women in his life.
He had lived in St Jeannet since the late 1980s with Ms Strong, his second wife, with whom he had two daughters, Samantha and Camilla. Samantha runs the Castle Leslie estate. He was first married to the actress Agnes Bernelle, with whom he had three children.
Mr Leslie once famously punched the BBC drama critic Bernard Levin on the nose during the TV programme That Was The Week That Was. It was in 1963 when the critic had written a bad review of the show A Cabaret of Savagery and Delight, presented by Ms Bernelle. |

| Quote: | Code Talker, last one from his tribe, dies
Frank Sanache was 86
Sam Lewin and Associated Press 8/24/2004
The achievements of Frank Sanache, the last living Code Talker from the Meskwaki Indian tribe, are being remembered following his death this past weekend.
Sanache passed away Saturday at the age of 86. He was all that remained of the original eight members of the tribe who served as scouts and Code Talkers for eight companies of their division in North Africa during World War 2. The Meskawaki Tribe is based in Tama, Iowa. They were one of 18 tribes that sent Code Talkers out during the war. Twenty-seven Meskwakis in total enlisted in the Iowa National Guard in 1941 and were activated in the Army's 34th Division. Sanache was the eldest at the age of twenty-two, and later news accounts indicate he took a leadership role.
Karen Morris works for the tribe’s Senior Center. She said she knew Sanache her “whole life.”
“ He was a pretty quite guy, didn’t say much,” Morris told the Native American Times.
She said he never discussed his wartime service.
Sanache never really got the chance to use his language skills after being shipped to North Africa because of the limited numbers of the Meskwakis and the short range of walkie-talkies. Sanache was captured just five months after he arrived in North Africa and spent 28 months as a prisoner of war in a Polish camp after being captured by the Germans. Sanache once called the duty in the African desert, "the worst place this side of hell.”
President Bush presented twenty-nine original Navajo code talkers with the Congressional Gold Medal in 2001. The Meskwakis never received that recognition, although Senators Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, and Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, both pushed for it along with other lawmakers.
"Unfortunately, the Meskwaki code talkers were left out of the recognition received by the Navajos," said Sen. John Putney, a Republican who co-sponsored a resolution in the Iowa legislature that honored Sanache. "They did the same job and sacrificed greatly, and so I believe it is time that we honor our own Native Americans and request that the Congress do so too.
Harkin awarded Sanache medals in 2002.
Sanache’s brother, Willard, also served as a Code Talker. The others from the Meskwaki were Dewey Youngbear, Edward Benson, Judie Wayne Wabaunasee, Mike Wayne Wabaunasee, Dewey Roberts, and Melvin Twin.
Sanache worked at a paper mill upon returning to Iowa. Morris said that he is survived by four daughters. |

| Quote: | Professor Robert Morris
Prof. Morris held the Koestler Chair of Parapsychology from December 1985 up until his sudden death in August 2004. He held a BSc in Psychology (1963) from the University of Pittsburgh and a PhD in Psychology (1969) from Duke University (minor in Zoology). His specialist training was in Comparative Psychology, and his doctoral thesis was on "Factors affecting the maintenance of the pair bond in the Blond Ring Dove, Streptopelia risoria". He also received training in parapsychology from the Foundation for the Nature of Man in Durham, N. Carolina. Following this he did two years of postdoctoral research at Duke University Gerontology Center, folowed by full time posts at the Psychical Research Foundation in Durham N. Carolina, U. California at Santa Barbara, U. California at Irvine and Syracuse University, before coming to U. Edinburgh in 1985. He also taught individual courses at JFK University and University of Southern California, as well as honours seminars at Duke University. He developed and taught over twenty different courses covering both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and taught sections of several more. During his time at Edinburgh he had seventeen students complete PhDs under his supervision, serving as second or external supervisor for several more, at U. Edinburgh, Sheffield U., Coventry U. and U. C. Northampton. He also served as external examiner for honours students in Psychology at Strathclyde University and U. C. Northampton.
Prof Morris had over 100 publications, some in Comparative Psychology and in Human Factors, but most in Parapsychology, including coauthorship of two books. He gave invited lectures at most major universities in Britain as well as universities in most Western European countries. He was on the Council of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and President of the Psychology Section of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. Twice he was President of the Parapsychological Association (an affiliate of the AAAS) and he co-edited the Proceedings of the Parapsycholgical Association as well as the European Journal of Parapsychology. He served on the Council of the Society for Psychical Research and was most recently a Vice President. He was recipient of the Myers Award of the British Psychological Society, the Myers memorial Medal from the Society for Psychical research, the Meritorious Activity Prize from ISLIS and the Outstanding Contribution Award from the Parapsychological Association.
His main recent funding sources were The Institut fuer Grenzgebiete der Psychologie und Psychohygiene in Freiburg, Germany, and the Fundacao Bial in Porto, Portugal. His postgraduate students have received funding from these sources, plus the Perrott-Warrick Fund at Cambridge University, the Society for Psychical Research in London, the Economic and Social Research Council, the Bjorkheim Fund in Stockholm, the Parapsychology Foundation in New York and the University of Edinburgh itself.
His research interests included animal social behaviour, human factors, the psychology of deception, volitional competence and performance enhancement, the psychology of anomalous experiences and various aspects of parapsychology. His most recent research activities involved supervision of, and collaboration in, roughly twenty projects in the last four of these areas. Professor Robert L Morris

The death, at the age of 70, of Bart Huges, the Dutch founder of the modern trepanation ( as a path to enlightenment) movement, was reported in the Dutch newspaper, 'Het Parool' last week. | Quote: | Skeptic's Dictionary: Trepanation
[B]Bart Huges (b. 1934), a medical school graduate who has never practiced medicine except for a bit of self-surgery, believes that trepanation is the way to higher consciousness. He wanted to be a psychiatrist but failed the obstetrics exam and so never went into practice. So he says. In 1965, after years of experimentation with LSD, cannabis and other drugs, Dr. Huges realized that the way to enlightenment was by boring a hole in his skull. He used an electric drill, a scalpel, and a hypodermic needle (to administer a local anesthetic). The operation took him 45 minutes. How does it feel to be enlightened? "I feel like I did when I was 14," says Huges.
What led Dr. Huges to believe that trepanation would lead to enlightenment? His first insight came when he was taught that he could get high by standing on his head. He came to believe that by permanently relieving pressure he could increase the flow of blood to the brain and achieve his goal. After he took a little mescaline he soon understood what was going on. "I recognized that the expanded consciousness was attributed to an increase in the volume of blood to the brain." How has such a simple fact eluded scientists and mystics alike for so many millennia? |
According to an article in this Saturday's 'NRC Handelsblad' (18th September 2004, Nº142), friends have said that Huge's original attempt at self trepanation was so messy and shocking that he may not have actually managed to drill all the way through his skull.

I saw a TV prog about this, must be nearly 30 years ago.
It featured a grainy fillum clip of a woman who was apparently trapanning herself with a drill. 
I think we have a thread on trepanation somewhere. |
