O'Finioan's Blog

Over the past couple of weeks (and has this been a rough couple of weeks), we have been bombarded with people asking questions that we thought we had adequately answered in interviews videos, etc.  Guess not!  So what we have elected to do in this post is to try once and for all to adequately answer those questions so that henceforth everyone will be referred to this blog post.

Question 1: What is Project Talent?

Answer: We will start with this question because the answer to this question is both very simple but yet very complex.  First of all, Project Talent was a sub-project of MK ULTRA.  MK ULTRA is like a very large umbrella in which over 172 sub-projects are known to have existed or still exist.  Remember, these are the projects that are known.  How many there actually are — who knows?  Someone does, but not us.

Project Talent was used to test children as young as four years old of specific families and specific bloodlines and in this area we are still learning.  Not everyone who was taken in to this particular project was a super psychic, although a higher than normal degree of psychic ability was mandatory to be taken into this project.

The best way that we know to explain this is thusly:  Imagine Project Talent as elementary school, where everyone goes through the exact same classes, training, and screening.  Then, we move on to secondary school, where abilities and talents are beginning to show.   The children were then separated into smaller groups and specific areas were looked at more closely.  Now moving on to high school, the subjects abilities aer fully known, advanced training in for lack of a better term what you’re good at, is then put into full motion.  and please note that age has nothing to do with the grade level.

Myself personally, I was moved into what most people understand as the Super Soldier Project.  Please note also I personally have never deemed myself as a “super soldier”, just that I was in that project, as were many others.   At which time various things were done to us physically to enhance abilities.  We were given implants to further enhance abilities, and even implants to control us — to effectively switch us on and off.

Yes, we understand this sounds like science fiction.  Please understand, if you had lived through it, you would feel the same way we do.  Look at the technology around you – how fast and far it’s come.  Is it really so hard to believe that this might be possible?  Everyday people get hand me down technology that the governments and corporations are decades ahead on.  Please note that the first cranial implant successfully performed was in 1923.  This technology is not as far-fetched as one might think.

Question 2:  You say that you and others like you have alternate personalities.  How can that be?

Answer:  This is a question that we will try to address without getting overly scientific.  For those interested in the science, we suggest the works of Colin Ross, and know also that Dissociate Identity Disorder is a classified disorder recognized and listed in the Psychiatric DSM-IV.

We were not born with split or alternate personalities.  Our alternate personalities were artificially induced.  They were done so using physical, emotional, and psychological trauma.  To make a very long story short, imagine yourself being a young boy, six or seven years old, strapped naked to a wooden chair, with needles being inserted underneath the fingernails, pushed all the way back to the root of the nail.  And understand, this process did not occur all at once.  This took place over many months, starting light and building to the crescendo, at which time you have a choice to split off into an alternate personality for the psyche to survive, or you die.  And yes we were given drugs to block the nerve receptors that allow you to block out or faint when the pain becomes too high.  We could not black out at all.  We only had the choice to split off or die.

Over half of the subjects that went through this process died.  Children.  Once the personality split, the process did not end.  The alternate personality had to be strengthened, conditioned, and put through training.  This is where cranial implants etc. played a very integral role in keeping the personalities separate.

This is just a short answer to the question.  Much more was done, but I think you can gt the idea.  And here we come to the main reason why I speak out about this: Again, this torture was performed on children.  By people who worked for and were affiliated with the government.  It was so successful, that it has continued to this day.  It must stop.  And as hard as we try, we receive almost no help in trying to stop it. Point of fact, we are laughed at and made into jokes.  Again, our sole purpose in all that we do and say, is to bring to light these horrific atrocities and to get them to stop kidnapping, torturing and murdering our children. So if you wonder why we do the things we do, always know that everything is done to try to bring this to light.

Question 3:  If what you say is true, why are you and others who have come forward like you still alive?

Answer: We get this question a lot, and it is a valid question (unlike many we get).  There are several reasons for this.  One of these reasons is not for lack for the lack of trying by certain groups.  I, personally, have had several attempts made on my life over the past several years.  But the biggest reason is threefold:  One, a war inside the intelligence community began in 1982, in which basically all of the groups split into two main factions. One faction does not want us dead.  They still see us as a viable resource in the future.  The other faction wants nothing more than to see us pushing up daisies.  So please keep in mind, these two factions are at war with each other and we are in the middle.

The second reason is proven to us by the letters we receive.  Most people don’t believe any of this or refuse to believe any of this, either out of ignorance or fear.  However, information about these projects is coming to light.  A lot of that information is out there, you just have to look for it.  One item being the release of the CIA “Family Jewels”, where on one page, they admitted that they tortured children to create alternate personalities to be used as assassins.  This is the CIA’s own admission.  Going even farther back was a New York Times article, in which the United States army admitted using implants in special operations units to enhance their abilities.   Sounds fantastical doesn’t it, but did you read just recently where the US admitted to doing horrific experiments on unsuspecting people in Guatemala?  And this list goes on and on.  Research it yourself.

Thirdly, we were an experiment.  We are still an experiment.  And the experiment will continue until it is stopped.  They continue to test us and collect data and observe us, because there are not that many of us left, and they need us for their research.

Question 4:  How could your parents just hand you over to this group?

Answer:  With the knowledge that my father worked for the CIA, and with the knowledge that these projects are performed through generations of a single family line, I do not believe that my parents had a choice.  I believe what they did they did to protect the rest of the family, i.e. my siblings and others.  I have never spoken ill of my parents except for one accusation of child sexual abuse done against me, but again, I will state I do not believe they had a choice.

When two parents have four children and they are given a choice: Let this be done to one so that the other three will be left alone, what choice would you make?  I am also well aware that another of my family members was also in one of these projects.  Maybe someday, hopefully, she will come forward.  I hope this puts to rest this question, once and for all.

Question 5: This next question we get asked from time to time, but over the past several days it seems to have become a sore spot for some people in the martial arts community, and I must say, for the record, I am saddened and sickened by the present state that I find the martial arts community in.  There is no respect, there is no honor.  All I read is trash talk.  If I were looking to put a child into a martial arts class, and did the research, I would have to say there is no way that I would.

The question is:  What was the extent, the lineage, the ranking, etc. of my martial arts training?

Well, it goes a little something like this:  All of us that were in my group in Project Talent, both make and female, began their training with Master Tan`.  Tan` was half Filipino and half Korean.  This man was undoubtedly one of the highest skilled martial artists I have ever met in my 50 years.  The training that we were put through under Tan` — to say it was brutal would be an understatement.  When being taught in a group, his assistants walked among us with shock sticks (think cattle prods).  These shock sticks were used on us, not only to correct us when we made a mistake, but to make us try even harder when we were doing everything perfectly.  And yes, we still carry the physical scars of these shock sticks.

Along with the empty hand training, we were taught escrima, knife fighting, sword fighting (with various types of swords), and a variety of some rather exotic weapons.  Our training with Tan` was done over many years.  The last memory I have of Tan` and I being together was roughly 1980-81.  No, I won’t say that I killed him.   And no, there was no belt ranking system in this training.  Belt ranks mean very little.

Other training I received was both from my step-Grandfather and my father.  From my Grandfather, the training was mostly pistol craft, throwing weapons, knives, hatchets, axes, etc.  From my father came kickboxing and continued training in escrima and knife fighting.  I did a stint in my young late preteens through mid teens in Shao Lin-do.  At roughly eighteen to nineteen, I started training in the Chuck Norris karate system.  I then met master O.K. Kim, who was a fantastic instructor and just a great guy to train under.

My last examination, I was promoted to 5th dan.  Again, ladies and gentleman, rank means nothing to me.  I have actually seen 7th and 8th degree, so-called masters have their clocks cleaned by virtual nobodies.  It’s how you train that matters.  And rank don’t matter squat when you’re fighting for your life.  Another question that was asked that goes along with this is, what do I teach?  Do I teach the CIA or blank training?  Let me set the record straight – I don’t teach.  I havent formally taught in years and years and in all likelihood will not teach again.

And to answer a specific question as to what happened when the training I received in the project broke through while teaching in a normal dojo setting, in answer to that, I hurt people — that’s the main reason I don’t teach anymore.  I have no desire to hurt anyone, unless that person tries to hurt me or one of mine.

Question 6: The next question is more of an accusation than a question, but we’ll answer it anyway:  The accusation is: You’re only doing this for the money.

Answer: Show us the money!!!!

How can anyone say we’re doing this for the money?  There is no money in this for us.  We are and have been coming forward with information that the majority of the people scoff at.  No one gives us money.  We have never asked for anyone to give us money.  We work, we pay our own way.  We don’t even ask for donations to pay for our website, we do it on our own.  And people say “Well, you’re doing all these interviews — you’re making money”.  Let us clue everyone in — no one gets paid to do an interview — not even a television interview.

Do an internet search for my book, you will see that there are many sites selling it.  None of them have my permission to do this, and they are all profiting off of my story when I do not see one dime of that profit, nor do I have the funds to pay a lawyer.

We tried to have a conference and both our website and our PayPal account got hacked.  We ended up having to cancel the conference due to threats to our speakers, and having to shell out over $1200 above and beyond the refunds we gave because of the hackers.  We are aware that some people were refunded twice.

So, the accusation that we are only doing this for the money is ludicrous, laughable, and insulting.

And, for the people who say I do this for the attention — have you seen the comments I get and the way I get treated?  Do you think we enjoy this type of treatment?  Please people, use some common sense, and, think again.

Question 7: The next question we are asked numerous times is how do we deal with this on a daily basis?

Answer: Well, some days, we don’t.  There are some days all we want to do is find a hole, crawl in it, and backfill it on top of us.  but we can’t do that.  So, we force ourselves to get up and deal with it.

Someone very recently posted a comment to a forum that states “The only thing O’Finioan is afraid of is his nightmares.”  You’re damn right.  We wouldn’t wish our nightmares on anyone.  Our nightmares consist of us reliving what was done to us, what we did to others, things that we can’t explain.  And every time we talk about this amongst ourselves, answering questions in interviews, we have to relive this hell all over again.

The other thing we are asked in this same category is, don’t we get angry reading all the vile, despicable remarks said about us?  Well, there are many things we could say about that.  Does it bother us?  No, not really, because we know what’s true and what really happened.  It’s up to each individual to asses the information and make their own determination.  And, as the comedian Ron White says, “Ya can’t fix stupid”.

So, if people wish to use their time and energy to try to belittle and condemn and just out and out be nasty at us, then the only thing we really have to say about it is — have fun.  We hope someday you find something in your life worthwhile to focus your energy on.

It has been our experience that the majority of the people who make these types of negative and derogatory comments are usually very fearful people.  They don’t wish their paradigm to be upset.  They don’t want their way of thinking to be challenged.  They like things the way they are, and to hear us talk about things that were done by branches or groups inside the government is like throwing a bucket of icewater on them.  It’s easier to make fun of something than to have an open mind about it.  it’s just easier.  And we do live in a society that thrives on doing things easier.

Question 8: We have been getting this next question almost daily for the past couple of months, and we have really debated how to answer it, or even if we should answer it.  So, I, Duncan, answer this question personally.

What are my thoughts of Aaron McCollum?

My answer to that question is very simple:   A boot full of cold piss. Nothing more to say.

Question 9: Our final question that we are going to answer in this post is, Who is “We” and who is this Ax person that you talk about?

Answer:  Well, to start with, Ax is the lady typing this post.  I am merely dictating the post.

To begin with, Ax is my female counterpart.  While I was first generation Project Talent, Ax was second generation Project Talent.  We were trained together to work as a team.  Not only did we train together, but we fought together and nearly died together numerous times.

Ax is someone I owe my life to many times over.  Ax and I have known each other since I was a young teenager and she was an even younger girl.  Our training began that far back with each other.   We continue to be partners and a team and will always remain so.  Ax and I carry the same heartaches, pain, and memories, and we deal with them together.

Nothing else need be said.

We may do a post like this from time to time, as the number of questions in specific areas grows.  But don’t count on it.

Until next time . . .
