DEEP COVER: Iona Miller on Mankind Research Foundation
MRU functioned in stealth mode, unlike its West Coast equivalent, SRI; in fact, its Founder/Director's name, Schleicher means Stealth

Over the years, I've been fortunate to interview and work with many of the former associates of Dr. Carl Schleicher's thinktank and foundation:
MANKIND RESEARCH UNLIMITED (MRU) and
MANKIND RESEARCH FOUNDATION (MRF).
Rumours about this notorious organization run rife, but we are here to set the record as straight as it can be from the insiders' points of view. All agree that Dr. Schleicher was a weirdly eccentric but basically well-meaning individual who sought to help humanity with innovative programs, theories, discoveries, treatments, and products. Many accusations have been made about him in print, but not all can be proven beyond reasonable doubt. What is known by his most familiar colleagues is included here, so you can make up your own mind. Grey areas remain in his biography, proving this man was neither entirely black nor white. He was, indeed, a shadowy individual, but his contribution was tremendous and his wide-ranging reach may never be fully revealed nor well-understood. What is clear is, based on all he knew about the world for good or ill, MRU and MRF were the culmination of whatever vision he enjoyed.
MRU: A thinktank and research organization that aims: "to combine the efforts of leading researchers and experimenters in the multi-disciplinary and interacting fields of human development and humanistic psychology which include research involving the body, mind and those forces and phenomena acting upon the health, education and welfare of mankind. Areas of study include biocommunication, biocybernetics, biophysics, psycho-physiology, educational development, cancer research and mind-body developments."
THE MAN & THE MYSTERY
Perhaps the biggest accusation leveled at Dr. Schleicher is that he was the "Father of the Cyborg", the original Manchurian Candidate, developed under the direction of infamous Sidney Gottleib for MK Ultra, probably the most notorious blackops program ever developed. When this project was outed and investigated by Congress, most of the original documents were destroyed or disappeared so we may never know the true history and extent of this heinous program, which has even deeper historical roots. Several universities and disconnected researchers were involved as fronts for the program.
Schleicher certainly had extensive knowledge of and interest in all the mind control techniques, technology and protocols we now know were employed. The backgrounds of known colleagues demonstrate this now. We know he included similar lines of investigation in his MRU prospectus and developmental repertoire. Yet, time and again, when confronted with the accusations he flatly denied it and was preparing to sue over allegations at the time of his death from a highly dubious source.
Even Schleicher's confidantes disagree among themselves over the extent of his possible involvement with this project and certain government agencies and which agencies. SRI has admitted CIA links publically, but Schleicher absolutely denied it. Everyone agrees Carl had done clandestine operations for the military during his active service. This ambiguity follows the man throughout his life and unconventional career. Still, if we look at the current career-tracks of his contemporaries, there is little reason to presume he was much different.
Many of Carl's colleagues, their secret projects now declassified, are edge-celebs in the 'weird science' category. They draw large crowds on the speaking circuit, talking new physics, conspiracy, remote viewing and a host of other subjects on which they offer workshops and even schools.
If he were alive today, the same would likely be true for Dr. Schleicher. In fact, the basic structure of MRF, is an original sort of alternative university/clinic offering superlearning, self-regulation techniques, and a variety of complementary rehabilitation and therapeutic treatments.
Perhaps his greatest failure was not succeeding in generating a meaningful cash flow from his endeavors during his lifetime. Big commercial success eluded him, though MRF had begun incorporating franchises in other states, such as California and Texas. Others, such as the Lozonov schools of Accelerated Learning, went on to employ these techniques and actualize his vision successfully.
But in his case and that of MRF, this "California-style" self-development center or mind spa he envisioned always had a "dark edge" that can never really be ignored nor dismissed. At it's heart, it was undeniably shadowy as mankind's deepest subconscious. It must have been an ethical struggle, a battle of mind and heart, reconciling a background in coercive psychophysical tactics with a futuristic humanitarian optimism - the essentially destructive with the constructive.
But what is known or revealed can now be told of this long cold war. It will still be up to you to connect the dots and decide what it all means. Is there any direct connection between MKU->MRU->MRF?
It is necessarily only a relative truth value we can assign to any portion of the story. Marshall McLuhan points out this is nearly always the case: "The old journalism had aimed at the objectivity by 'giving both sides at once.' The new journalism seeks, rather, to immerse the reader in the total situation, using the resources of imaginative fiction to provide a multileveled experience. The new journalism is quite prepared to urge that 'news' is necessarily a form of fiction or making."
THE UNUSUAL SUSPECTS
MRU conducted client-sponsored researrch and development for government agencies, commercial businesses, foundations and other organizations. Carl said he wanted to further and develop the works of suppressed, maligned or unappreciated researchers on the "frontiers of science". These researchers and pioneers, included: Harold S. Burr, Ph.D.; F.S.C. Northrop, Ph.D.; Leonard J. Ravitz, M.D.; Wilhelm Reich, Ph.D.;R. B. Amber, D.C.; Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama, Ph.D.; Oscar Brunler, Ph.D.; Galen Hieronymus; Gen. Henry M. Gross; Verne Cameron; John Shelley; Ambrose and Olga Woorrall, Ph.D.; Harold Sherman; Townsend Brows; R. Abrams, M. D;.Ruth Drone; Carey Reams, D.N.; Buckminster Fuller; Nikola Tesla, D.Sc.; Yogi Bhajan; Henry and John Foray; K. Raudive, Ph.D.; Ingo Swann; S. W.Tromp, Ph.D.; L. L. Vasiliev, Ph.D.; Karl von Reichenbach, Ph.D.; Walter Russell, Ph.D.; Gopi Krishna; Gustaf Stromberg; Jose Silva; Edgar Cayce; Cleve Backster.
DEEP COVER: As a valued member of the United States Psychotronics Assn., Schleicher had access to a wide range of the most innovative minds imaginable. As a former intelligence agent, he had access to classified materials and experts. Associates included Dr. Eldon A. Byrd, Dr. Stanley Krippner, Dr. Georgi Lozanov, Dr. Emanuel Revici, Christopher Bird, Stefan Possony, physicist Richard Alan Miller, various intelligence and counterintelligence operatives for NSA and Naval and Air Force Intelligence who shall remain nameless, MRF Deputy Director and microbiologist Charles Stone, plus a variety of regional and program directors of different projects in science, education, and alternative health. Several of them were more than colleagues and became friends while others remained personally aloof and occassionally adversarial. He claimed to have a few opponents and even enemies.
There are doubtless many more contacts who's records, correspondence and reports were lost with Schleicher's passing. Some materials were never centralized to begin with. The colleagues and contacts of MRU principles cover the whole field of psychotronics, parapsychology, complementary healing, intelligentsia, the underground and more. Conferences were hotbeds of exchange, as were many Washington D.C. area installations. Each of the players has their own network of associates that stretched through every area of human culture, building an incredible webwork of influence that now permeates the national and global agenda.
Many of the vanguard connected with this unique thinktank are still in operation, both publically and privately. They continue to permeate the intelligence landscape, illuminate with revelations about the now-unclassified past and make startling predictions about the future of science and humanity. In this sense, those who live on the cutting-edge are truly the 'time-travellers' of their generations.

Project MK-ULTRA, 1953, CIA:
Drugs, electronics, psychotronics and electroshock
Targeting: Short rangeFrequencies: VHF HF UHF modulated at ELF Transmission and Reception: Local production
Purpose: Programming behavior, creation of "cyborg" mentalities
Effects: narcoleptic trance, programming by suggestion
Subprojects: Many.
Pseudonym: Project Artichoke
Functional Basis: Electronic Dissolution of Memory, E.D.O.M.
It was not until the middle or late 1970's that the American public became aware of a series of hitherto secret programs that had been conducted over the preceding two decades by the military and intelligence community. These extensive covert programs bore the project titles MKULTRA, MKDELTA, MKNAOMI, MKSEARCH (MK being understood to stand for Mind Kontrol), BLUEBIRD, ARTICHOKE and CHATTER. The principal aim of these and associated programs was the development of a reliable "programmable" assassin. Secondary aims were the development of a method of citizen control.

Are YOU a Missing Link for MRU/MRF or Know of One?
The important historical story of MRU/MRF has never been documented as it has for the West Coast equivalent, Stanford Research Institute (SRI). Even insiders know few of the other players and their role in the overall story, since business was proprietary and conducted on a need-to-know basis, often in remote locales.
HELP US TELL THE STORY and set the record straight. Did you work with, have contact with or have a story about MRU and Dr. Schleicher? Can you shed new light on any aspect of MRU activities, on or off the record? Would you like to describe your involvement and role on the project list? Or do you just have questions you'd like to try and answer? Write Iona Miller, with assurance your confidentiality will be honored, in any event.A TRIBUTE TO "SPOOK CENTRAL"
