Man headed world paedophile ring - The judge said he had "an inability
to show remorse" BBC News 11/28/08 A man with 200,000 computer images
and thousands of videos showing child sex abuse has been jailed
indefinitely. Christopher Stubbings, 55, from Crawley Lane, Kings
Bromley, Staffordshire, was one of the ringleaders of a worldwide
abuse ring, Stafford Crown Court heard. He was ordered to serve a
minimum of 12-and-a-half years in jail. Stubbings had admitted eight
offences including indecent assaults on a child under 16 and the
commissioning of child abuse videos. The offences also included
distribution of child abuse images and possession of child abuse
images....The judge, Mrs Justice Macur, said he had "an inability to
show remorse, contrition or empathy." She added the images were
"deplorable and depraved - these children were abused, all of them
debased, all of them humiliated". In a statement, the Crown
Prosecution Service (CPS) said he was a co-founder of a worldwide
paedophile group consisting of about 60 members and within that group
he was second in command and acted as its treasurer....Asked about the
sentence, Det Insp Walker added: "It truly reflects his level of
offending and the seriousness of the nature and the quantity and the
levels of depravity shown within those images that we've recovered."

Evidence suggests CIA funded experiments at state hospital 11/30/08 By
Louis Porter Vermont Press Bureau Few people in Vermont remember Dr.
Robert W. Hyde, but one of his former patients can’t forget him. The
doctor was involved in one of the nation’s darkest chapters in medical
science: In the 1950s, Hyde conducted drug and psychological
experiments at a Boston hospital through funding that apparently
originated with the CIA. Later, he became director of research at the
Vermont State Hospital. The patient, Karen Wetmore, is convinced that
Hyde and other researchers subjected her and possibly other patients
to experiments paid for by the CIA at the Waterbury facility. In
addition to her claim, new evidence, though incomplete, suggests that
such tests might have been conducted at the Vermont State Hospital.
Several books and numerous newspaper accounts have detailed how
techniques developed through testing, including on mental health
patients at hospitals in other parts of the country, are related to
the interrogation methods used in Guantanamo and other locations in
the war on terror. These well-known and well-documented drug
experiments began in secret after the Korean War and were sponsored by
the U.S. government. News accounts and histories of the experiments
have not mentioned the Vermont State Hospital, but a congressional
committee concluded that dozens of institutions, some of which have
never been identified, were involved in secret experiments for the
CIA. ....In order to figure out what really happened to her at the
Vermont State Hospital and to overcome this credibility gap, Wetmore
has spent more than 12 years collecting and analyzing reams of
government documents, including state hospital records, declassified
CIA paperwork and histories of MK-Ultra, the code name of the CIA’s
best-known clandestine research projects on mind-control....In 1997,
Wetmore decided to bring a lawsuit against the state. A psychiatrist
and a Rutland lawyer agreed to help her with the case and spent months
collecting and poring over evidence. They both came to the conclusion
that Wetmore was the subject of drug experiments at the hospital.
Wetmore and her advocates could not unequivocally link her case to the
CIA’s research activities at other institutions through government
documents from the agency, but histories of the CIA’s psychiatric
testing, other documents and a preponderance of circumstantial
evidence around Wetmore’s treatment based on her medical records
suggest the Vermont State Hospital may have been one of the sites for
secret experimentation. The CIA destroyed much of the evidence
regarding the drug and psychological tests on unwitting patients in
the 1970s as the truth about its funding for the tests came to light,
according to a 1975 congressional review headed by U.S. Sen. Frank
Church....Hyde was an international pioneer in the development of mind-
altering drugs and in their use in treating mental illness. He was
involved in research programs sponsored and secretly funded by the CIA
and the U.S. military. With an Army psychiatrist, he also conducted
research on drugs designed to produce mental illness in healthy people
who volunteered for such studies. In 1949, Hyde was an early
experimenter with LSD: He volunteered to take the drug himself....The
experiments conducted by Rinkel, Hyde and their associates (sometimes
even on themselves) were an important part of secret programs run by
and for the CIA to construct “black operations” for prisoner
interrogation and other espionage and military uses. “Black ops” were
designed to look like civilian programs, even to the researchers, with
the CIA gleaning the results. The intelligence funding was often
disguised as grants that were passed through organizations or other
agencies. Psychiatric researchers at dozens of sites around the
country, including state hospitals, prisons and universities, many of
which have never been identified, cooperated sometimes knowingly and
sometimes unwittingly in research on human test subjects. Finally,
official documents Wetmore has uncovered show that the Vermont State
Hospital had a history of experimenting with drug treatments on its
patients. At least one of those experiments, which predated Hyde’s
tenure at the hospital, was financed by the federal agencies
identified by researchers as a conduit for money for the CIA “black-
ops” experimentation. In addition, the Vermont State Hospital doctors
were corresponding about that grant work with Dr. John Gittinger, a
CIA scientist in Washington, D.C.....Long before the Boston
researchers’ work laid the foundation for those groundbreaking
psychiatric studies, it garnered attention from another, less benign
profession. Soon after the Rinkel-Hyde report appeared in the APA
journal, the CIA became interested in the researchers’ work, according
to Stevens and others who have researched the subject. “Early on they
contacted Rinkel and Hyde at Mass. Mental Health, and with Hyde as the
principal contact began pouring as much as $40,000 a year into LSD
research,” Stevens wrote. The CIA and the U.S. military had their own
reasons for wanting to finance such experiments, an interest dating at
least to the Korean War when American prisoners of war were subjected
to various psychiatric drugs. In the 1950s, the New York Times,
reporting on congressional hearings and studies of the effect of
Communist interrogation of U.S. prisoners, wrote: “Chinese Communist
attempts to create confusion, disloyalty and doubts about this
country’s role were highly effective among American prisoners captured
during the Korean War, an Army psychiatrist said here today.” The
article went on to report on the 1950 meeting of the American
Psychiatric Association and on Rinkel’s research “based on the
experimental reproduction of mental illness in 100 normal volunteers.
The illness, similar to schizophrenia, was induced by small dosages of
the chemical d-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD).” ....In 1977, in
response to an investigation into the CIA experiments, Harold Pfautz
wrote a letter to the editor of The New York Times defending his own
research — funded in part by the Society for the Investigation of
Human Ecology, an MK-Ultra front — and that of Hyde. Pfautz wrote: “I
know that I (and I am convinced that Dr. Robert W. Hyde, then
superintendent of the Butler Health Center, as well as my other
colleagues) had no knowledge of the CIA auspices and functions of the
Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology. In a word this was a
‘black’ operation — deceptive and intended to deceive — on the part of
the government and addressed to me as a citizen.”....Dr. Thomas Fox,
the Rutland doctor who treated Wetmore, was so appalled by the nature
of her state hospital treatment records that he agreed to help her
with a lawsuit against the state in 1997. Fox, who also became a top
mental health official with the state of New Hampshire before his
death, had never before agreed to be an expert witness in a civil
litigation. A 140-page deposition and an outline by Fox show that he
concluded that Wetmore was an unwitting subject of experimental
testing while she was a patient at the Vermont State Hospital.
“Although Plaintiff was not schizophrenic or otherwise psychotic, she
was treated with medication as if she were. Even though it was noted
by the Defendants early on that she was allergic to these medications,
that they would alter her behavior adversely, and that they would
cause her permanent damage and even threaten her life, she was
involuntarily administered massive doses of these drugs throughout the
periods of her confinement,” according to Wetmore’s lawsuit.
“Plaintiff was kept almost constantly in seclusion, often bound with
wristlets behind her back, and left to lie unattended and unrelieved,
naked on a tile floor.”
