One of the CIA’s more damaging and hair-brained schemes in the 1950s/60s was master-minded by a Scots-born psychiatrist Ewan Cameron, who was born under a Jupiter Saturn conjunction in Capricorn, as we have coming up in 2020. MK-Ultra was a CIA Mind Control programme which illegally tested drugs, electro-shocks and other brutal methods on unwitting mental patients to enhance interrogation and torture techniques; and may also have been directed to producing a ‘Manchurian Candidate’ – an artificially created multiple personality disorder – the end result being a spy capable of hiding secrets in a split-off part of their mind which would not be retrievable except by a trigger code under hypnosis.
Netflix have been reviving interest with their sci-fi series Stranger Things 2; and a docu-drama Wormwood about a military analyst who end up mysteriously dead when he tried to blow the whistle.
None of the programmes worked and unwilling participants were left irretrievably damaged psychologically. Compensation has been paid over the years to victims and families.
Cameron, born 24 December 1901, Bridge of Allan, Scotland, studied at Zurich, John Hopkins, Albany NY and later Canada, sat through Nuremberg and developed a view that mental illness was contagious, much like measles. His work in MK-Ultra produced no positive results and much long-term damage.
He was a Sun Capricorn opposition Neptune; with the Jupiter Saturn in Capricorn conjunct Mars – Jupiter falling exactly on his cruel Mars/Saturn midpoint. Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor, who did medical experiments in the concentration camps also had a Sun square Neptune; and Mars square Saturn in an earth sign. Neptune in its cosmically cold guise, putting the delusional ideal above human compassion. One of the leading Tuskegee Syphilis Experimenters on black Americans also had a strongly aspected Neptune, conjunct Pluto trine a Libra Sun Saturn trine Mars in Aquarius. When Neptune goes wrong, it is terrifying’ and allied with afflicted Mars Saturn goes perverse if not downright cruel..
My slight impression is that Jupiter Saturn conjunctions, despite their reputation for practical idealism, can be less than wonderful in Earth signs – viz Dick Cheney with Jupiter Saturn in Taurus.
Born close to Ewan Cameron were: Walt Disney, another psychiatrist Milton Erickson, physicist Werner Heisenberg involved in the Nazi nuclear programme, Marlene Dietrich. President William McKinley was assassinated under this Jupiter Saturn in Capricorn. And JFK was elected on the next one in Capricorn forty years later. Though he wasn’t shot till late 1963.
Two presidents were afflicted in a deadly way under Jupiter Saturn in Capricorn? And we have another round of it coming up in 2020, an election year? Very interesting.
