III6MITI 243 GSUDCX; 13 Canapd Or Realty? In early 1981, Project Stigma was one of a number of individuals and/or organizations which received a 1^-page "Memorandum", as It was sim¬ ply titled. We will reproduce the text of the "Memorandum" In its entirety, after which we will undertake a description of some of the circumstances which have attended the manifestation of this document In 1981: An eyewitness has described an official Project Grudge Report Num¬ ber 13, Top Secret, Need To Know Only classification, that was In fact published but then never distributed and was in fact subsequent¬ ly destroyed.

Note: The one copy seen had been annotated and updated by some¬ one. Now for the background, which has developed in bits and pieces in the ensuing months: We'll call the man who says he viewed the "Project Grudge Report Number 13” Oienceforth to be termed GRUDGE 13) "TouUnet". Toulinet was an intelligence officer in Vietnam during the "conflict" there. He was a captain in the Green Berets and he headed a very select Special Forces team which was appointed to complete a very trying and unpleasant task. The task completed, Toulinet was processed through a psychiatric institution in the States. This took about 3 months, after which he was returned to his family and soon reassigned to a new job. This "new job" was in England, at an RAF "Listening Ibst" north of London where, as a U.S, military Intelligence officer, be was to serve as an Intelligmice analyst. One day, in July of 1977, Toulinet found a locked, sealed diplomatic pouch in the "in" box in his office - and inside the pouch was the 245 4 GRUDGE 13 report. It took him 4 days to read the report and prepare bis analysis which, apparently, was essentially an abstract. The report and the abstract were left In the "out" box (the report had been left and was retrieved by a courier Toullnet never saw). Within the span of a few days that July, Toullnet had been informed by the American col¬ onel in charge of the facility that his performance had been judged "un¬ satisfactory", that he was being terminated from the service. He was deported from England as an "undesireable alien", leaving his family behind. He returned to the United States through a facility that processes people who are going to and returning from the British Installation. It was there Toullnet learned that the colonel In charge of the installation wasadso released under strange circumstances. The "civilia n " Toullnet relocated to the Southwestern United States, where he remains in mid- 1981. One account has it that his family remained in England all this time, and that this served to keep the pressure on him here in the States. However, in July 19 81, Toullnet told Project Stigma that as of very recently that pressure factor was "no longer a problem". The memory of what he had read, over and over, during those 4 days In July of 1977, was hard to ignore. Mr. Toullnet, through intelligence contacts he still maintained, began to do a bit of investigating on his own. Actually, Toullnet bad been no stranger to the UFO phenomenon. In Vietnam he was "a member of a Special Forces investigative team that went in to retrieve a B-52 that was forced down ly a UFO and all the occupants were killed". Whether this. In fact, was the "trying" In¬ cident that required the psychiatric "debriefing" is not known. Toullnet also claims that "at one point in the early 1950'a until the mld-1960's the Air Force maintained relocation and debriefing colonies for people who had eiq>erlenced 'close encounters' of the 3rd and 4th kind. They were isolated for all intents and purposes for the rest of their lives". He doubts that these "colonies" are still in existence. Toullnet reports that he and another veteran UFO investigator have pursued separate lines of Investigation and have determined that the U.S. government "most definitely" supports a "project dealing specifically with UFOs and captured aliens". According to what he has learned, the U.S. gov¬ ernment once captured a trio of ufonauts, and that as of mid-1981, one of the beings was still aUve in captivity. Whether these were the same "3 living aliens" In GRUDGE 13 Is unknown, hi January 1981 an Arizona publication, the TUCSON WEEKLY NEWS aan.7-13) published 246 an article in which ToiiUnet (called "Ibm" In the piece) as; “...a sincere and fuUy patriotic yet disaffected forn|ii analyst who endorses the (U.S.) government's alms but m ods of achieving them". The article says that "Tom" wi a metered release of information and a gpradual helghte: awareness. Is described er military the meth- d propose ig of UFO .ot Otlli nlni Of pertinence to us and to the readers of STIGMATA is that GRUDGE 13 contained information regarding humans victims of "classic" mutilation-attacks. The rumors of mutilated humans have been with us throughout the aninul! ness of the past several 3 ^rs. We have shied away froi propagating these bits of informational flotsam and jetsanji, to needlessly spread unfounded oh-my-GodI fears. But have persisted, and with this "Grudgie" business, they' a bit more weight, more definition. the allegation who were (^lassically- 1- mute-mad- carelessly not wanting rumors taken on na the ve ,m" Toullnet has clarified the information In the "Memorandu us by stating that GRUDGE 13 contained Information on cases of human mutilation.

Included are 2 (1 in the Houston, Texas area in 1980, plus 6 cases now un tlon in California and 2 in Arirana. He has seen autopsjy crib ing "all viscera removed except the heart, liver, I ach"; a "perfectly circular wound" where genitals had b^i mammary glands removed. Apparently, the publicly-anm death in these cases ranged from "exposure" to "predatoij' "gangland killing". Eventually, Toulinet's financial situai restrain his investigations. Plus; "I started running into on other levels. Somebody came in and set my house on up a good portion of my records".

There is additional "background" information concerning the public (unauthorized) release of Toullnet's "Memorandum". Although we do not see a need to get Into that In depth here, it includes be¬ trayals of trust, unauthorized machinations, some hard feelings, and an unsuccessful attempt to wrest control of a major UFO organi¬ zation from its long-time organizer/leaders. An incumbent official who survived the organizational coup-attempt has characterized Toullnet as "unstable" and that the Grudge Report story "springs from an internal need for attention rather than from external fact". Another UFO Investigator with military/intelligence contacts has "checked out" Toullnet, finding to his own satl sfactlon that Toullnet "was everything he says he was". Others feel that Toullnet's account - while not being blindly accepted as factual - should not be rejected out of hand, either. That, for the moment, is Project Stigma’s stand on the matter - neither acceptance nor rejection.

The sheriff's department concluded, however, that the deaths were natural and that wild animals damaged the carcasses. (Credit; UFO Newsclipping Service: Wm. Grlmstad).

CANADA ALBERTA - In April 1980. around Easter, a three-year-old registered quarter horse was found In a pasture 10 km NE of Oyen, near the Sas¬ katchewan border. The animal's owner. Oyen resident Marilyn Flaht, reported that:tfae female genitals, the left eye and left ear and the ton¬ gue were all missing. And there was a flst-slzed hole in the chest... She said the parts of the horse appeared to be surgically re¬ moved "and the person who did it had to be trained or must have had very sharp instruments.” She said the prairie was still damp at the time and there were no tracks made by a car or truck coming into the area, but It would have been pos¬ sible for someone on horseback to get to the animals undetect¬ ed. The animal, which she valued at between $900 and $1000, was one of five on the pasture and the hardest one to catch, she said. When she was examining the dead horse her four- year old gelding came up and sniffed It "then sneezed and snorted and ran away from the animal as If to tell me to get back”. She said the horse was left In the field for a week and the coyotes didn't touch it. The incident was reported to the RCMP and the horse was examined by a veterinarian. Flaht said she was told they pireferred her not to be present when the examination took place. She was later told the horse died of something other than natural causes..."(MEDICINE HAT NEWS (Alta. ^ June 11. 1980; credit: Gordon Wright). 253 A New Clearing-House Mutilation Data Center - 4623 East Washington, Apt. 20 - Orange, California 92669 - telephone (714) 639-5273. The Mutilation Data Center is a one-man operation whose purpose Is "to collect data which will help control and prevent the mutilations and killings of animals and humans”. The MDC was inaugurated in Orange County, California in October 1980 and Is "basically a hobby" of organizer Edwin Austin. Mr. Austin says he brings "about 40 years experience into this, the last 15 in complex Interstate matters that sty¬ mie courts and police". He has personally examined three "genuinely mutilated" animals. Austin neither solicits nor accepts contributions and says: It is my intent to make ME>C Into a central clearing-house through which organizations and Individuals can exchange Information-and to closely monitor the information In an effort to identify, apprehend and convict the perpe¬ trators of these acts. Austin views the acts of mutilating animals & humans as a phenomenon "as old as Man" and sees such occurrences as arising from one or a combination of three motives: (1) Political Terrorism (citing as exam¬ ples Vlad the Impaler, the Mau Mau and that "the US Army used pseudo-vampire killings to terrorize superstitious Viet Cong soldier^*); Religious Ritual, including some cannaballsm and the drinking of blood for religious reasons; (3) Lone Nuts, "who account for over 75% of all cases from court and other high-quality records" (exam¬ ples: Jack the Ripper, "Bluebeard", Manson, Juan Corona, the L.A. "Freeway killer (s)", Sutcliffe, the accused Yorkshire Ripper, and the Atlanta killer of young blacks). In a January 1981 data sheet, Austin listed what he considered to be the "6 hard facts "which exist in regard to mutilations (more or less what we at STIGMATA would term "classic" mutilations. In that all "mutilations"are not "classic”). We quote: (1) The mutilations are widespread, cover at least 20 states. 254 13 C2) They are sequential, not simultaneous, with substantial time between spates of incidents. (3) The level of surgical expertise is uniformly high, (4) The blood is always drained. (5) No scavenger, from vulture or coyote to decay organism, will touch a mutilated carcass. There isn’t even death-smell I (6) In the three post-mprtems I have learned about, a com¬ mon embalming fluid was found, the same embalming fluid that certain drug addicts use in small quantities to get a ’’high". This is an obvious explanation for refusal of scaven¬ gers to consume the carcass, but the number of post-mor¬ tems is far too few to justify a conclusion at this time. Austin estimates that 75% of all mutilations reported to law enforce¬ ment as potentially-classlc are due to natural causes, misinterpreta¬ tions or otherwise non-classic causes, and he claims that "this 75-25 ratio is also consistent with historical material, so far as 1 can get percentages". Austin is seeking case-history material on that 25% of genuine reports. To aid animal owners in determining the genuine¬ ness of a potential mute case, Austin suggests that these are the tell¬ tale signs to look for: (1) In true mutilations, there will be neatly removed parts. (2) In true mutilations, no coyote, vulture, crow, no Insect will touch the carcass. There will not even be a death-smell. (3) There are some poisonous plants which will produce the effect described in (2). If this effect exists and no parts are removed, the animal is probably a poison-death. However, if the effect exists and parts axe gone, then go on to step 4. (4) In the open wound left by the removal of parts, the flesh will not be the normal black color, but will be a translucent reddish-gray. Fuddling of blood in the lower part of a carcass is a normal post-death event, but enough is left to turn black when decompoaltlon begins. It is the combination of draining blood and the embalming fluid that produces the unique red¬ dish-gray translucent color. If all four of these conditions exist, there is probably a gen¬ uine mutilation, the kind 1 want in my records. 255 14 Austin says there is e-vldence to support"all three" of the most pop¬ ular theories (above) and that in fact, "It is quite possible that we have multiple perpetrators atid all three are correct for different cases". He also reports finding "two positive falsifications of evidence and one probable" in former FBI agent Kenneth Rommel's "Operation Animal Mutilation" report. Austin asks "why" this would need to be done, and adds: "The FBI, CIA, NSA, the State Department and the Justice Department all have a long and unsavory record of Involvement in illegal political terrorism. When that Is put into context with Rom- meTs "report", one must keep terrorism, committed ly either a gov¬ ernment agency or a revolutlmiary group, open for consideration". Aus¬ tin feels that the best evidence for the religious-ritual hypothesis is the discovery of apparent worship-sites and cuklst paraphenalla near areas of mutilation activity. And for the "Lone Nut" idea - the best evidence is the "sequential na¬ ture of the incidents In combination with the uniformity of expertise In the surgery”. Austin believes that the "Lone Niit" hypothesis is the strongest of the three. AU of the preceding information is contained in material Edwin Austin, under the auspices of the MDC, sent out In 1981 to state and provincial police and "selected private contacts". Included was a page detailing some of the movements and identities of a "violent cult" which Austin Unlca to some animal mutilations. The report includes the following: (The cult) disbanded and scattered from Springtield, Missouri, In < the middle of 1980. * Intelligence sources Inside the cult say that they were told at the time of disbandment that they would re-as- semble on April 1, 1981, at a place to be determined by the leaders. Popular rumor says that this will be someplace in Texas. However, the cult ran a nationwide broadcast that gave them a mailing list that covers the U.S. and Canada. They have the capability of surfacing an 3 nvhere with local sponsorship. Al¬ so, such cults frequently fragment, resulting In two identical cults widely separated. When they surface, they wlU quickly be¬ come Involved In the same offenses of assaults, unlawful im¬ prisonments and mutilation of pets, all designed to intimidate "deserters” Into remaining with the cult. Ihere is indication 256 15 that they purchase horses to mutilate In bizarre rituals. They were Involved In selling stock to followers, which brings them Into conflict with stock fraud laws. They tithe from 30% to 50% of members' Incomes. They chan^ names fre¬ quently to avoid detection. Prior names are "Church of the Way", "Wayside Trinity Methodist Church" and"Madelay Trini¬ ty Methodist Church". Austin reports that he has "contacts In cult IntelUgeqce groups who will provide with enthusiasm Information to Investigate the possibility of cult actions...It Is axiomatic that, given enough information and enough testing of correlations, the target (s 7) will eventually be rooted out and arrested". Regarding political terrorism, Austin Includes Information concerning "Operation Werewolf", which was: "Qrlgtnally formed just after WWl in Germany, to terrorize anti-Nazi officials, credited with a series of terrorist murders. During World War 2, reorganized Into a para-mUi- tary unit under Martin Bormann. Just before] >the end, again reorganized Into an underground terrorist/assassination squad and probably spirited out of Germany with Bormann. Probability of existence and activity to¬ day, 9G% or better, probably under a successor hand-picked by Bor- mann. Known close ties to Mafia and a renegade CIA group which In¬ cludes right-wing extremists, sex offenders and others who have been fired firom CIA, NSA, FBI, and military IntelUgmice agencies for such misconduct. The quoted documents concerning the outfit Include Nuren- berg Trial documents, numerous British and French publications and quotes, from speeches made by Ifltler himself'. Austin, In closing out his assemblage of material, adds three specific suggestions: (1) Fhbllclze the enclosure, particularly the part about what to look for before reporting the animal as mutilated. This will not bring out the genuine cases - those people are too frl^ened to come forward as a rule. But it will curtail the panic reports - which, in Itself, Is both a value to you (law enforcement) and a harm to whoever is doing this. It also has the potential value of bringing them swarming around me, which is exactly what I want. I have this complex so tight a mouse can't get In without me knowing it. 257 16 (2) Look for unsolved human mmrders and check the back¬ ground of victims. ([ have three such now. plus a CjSrand Jury Investigation of threats). (3) Have post-mortems done on suspicious animal dcsathsl Lack of post-mortems has been a stumbling block a)I the way. Then, In response to communications from Project Stign)a., Edwin Aus¬ tin sent us the following report: I am a 3rd-generatlon "political" gadfly who works on bizarre social problems which are disruptive far beyond thetr numbers, I just finished another project and picked animal mutilations for the new work. Exper¬ ienced people begin such projects by studying history. In this case, a serious indexing problem exists. Cases prior to the 1960's are indexed as "Vampire", "Werewolf", "Anthrophagy", "Cannaballsm", "Leopard Men", "Wlndlgo Psychosis" and related terms, all cross -indexed. How system, leaving In human hls- uch ancient :ian mythology gins in the WOLF by the footnotes, "Organization the U.S. - with the Mau ever, animal mutilations are not cross-indexed Into the researchers with the false impression that they are new tory.

Study especially note 127, which deals with the German Nazis' Werewolf", which almost certainly is In action today in UHURU by Ruark: Read the factual section, which deals Man's use of animal mutilations to terrorize. Also see THE KIKUYU AND THE MAU MAU by L.S.B. Leakey, which deals with the same sub¬ ject in passing. - THE BOOK OF WEREWOLVES by Sabine Baring- Gould: Oldest known English-language book. Excellent source for older cases which combine human mass murder with animal niutilation-kllllngs.

In mittUatlon-kiUtngs of both humans and animals, they consolidate them all as "Wlndlgo" or related terms. Actually, you will see In THE WINDI¬ GO PSYCHOSIS that the cases originate from 3 unrelated sources. First large animals, probably including Sasquatch. Second, cannabalism/star- vatlon. Third, psychotlcs. We deal here with some variation of psycho¬ sis and Ignore the rest. Second point; ancient legal proceedings dealt with the killer's whole life, while modem procedure isolates the offen¬ sive event and Ignores all else. Thus, historical cases laentlon animal mutilations in a subdued tone along with human killings, while modem cases either Ignore the animals entirely or mention it ia passing. g*>t fir( This leads to virtual silence on the animal mutilations Manson, Juan Corona, the Freeway KUlers, et al. The exception is Richard Chase, where an animal lnvestlgat(j): ies of six brutal killings of humans by tracing out the tors nearby. The result is almost equal billing for hu: alike.

Parents» spouses* children* good friends of law enforcement, school superintendents*etc. There Is a parallel here worth studying. Psychotics hate authority with a killing passion. But they are cowards. They attack families and friends* not the stronger officer. 1 have already discovered essentially the same pattern In animal mutilations. From currein information* victim-owners are almost exclusively people of great Influence in their communities. Legislators, law enforcement* families of same. It may be that we have the same psychotic here who Is too much of a coward to assassinate* in¬ stead attacks the weaker animals. This* of course* is a social approach. There are others m he considered. I tend to discount UFOs. But before anyone else does* they should index up a series of patents from the 1930*8* Issued to Thomas Townsend Brown. In general* they deal with the use of electrostatic voltages as a propul¬ sion device. One of the patents is for a circular airfoil driven by the de¬ vice. There have been scattered mentions* including photos* of such vehi¬ cles in mechanics and aircraft mags ever since. A few years ago* SAGA found Brown in Stanford University* working on a secret fbvy project. Here we have a very prosaic and logical explanation for "silent helicop¬ ters", "UFOs" and a lot of other things. The nature of the device lends Itself to helicopter* fixed-wing or other aircraft and may well be devel¬ oped by now to hovering capability. Terrorism is a very real possibility. It is the simplest form of "behavior modification" to "point" a psychotic at a specific target, then let him/her run free until caught. Also* a pure terrorist* not psychotic* could well do what is being done with animals. There is a subculture of wanderers who live in the woods* leave little or no trace behind, live off the land or by stealing goodies from farms* etc. It is quite large numerically. If anyone wants to explore this possibility* 1 will teach them how to find their camps. They may be drug addicts or trafflcers. Such people include large numbers of psychotlcs. In point* nearly all convicted mass killers are addicts of long duration. Many are deeply involved in cultlsm, par¬ ticularly blood-drinking and eating raw flesh. They may be pure cultlsts* no dmgs Involved. Another form of psychosis. Maybe they are a combina¬ tion of all of these* or none I We need closer contact among victims to com¬ pare notes in an attempt to establish correlations which will enable us to identify and prosecute these clowns I That Is the purpose of the MDC. Edwin Austin 260 19 Mutilation Data Center - Project Stigma commentary: We haven't the space In this issue to fully address ourselves to the points upon which we disagree with Mr. Austin. But we share some areas of agreement, as well. Among the latter would be our mutual concentration upon data at the expense of speculation (though not to Its exclusion). We noted that the MDC Initially seemed to ignore both the ’hiysteay helicopter" and "UFO" connection. Thou^ Austin tends "to discount UFOs" &iot al¬ together wise; but neither would be "acceptance"), we’ve learned that Indeed he does consider the helicopters to be a valid aspect of the prob¬ lem. He's just not concentrated on It as much as we have. Another example of a specific point of divergence between us: Austin says that "the blood Is always drained" in a mutilated carcass. We do not think this to be the case. The contention is and can be misleading. We would hope that someone examlng a potentially-mutilated carcass would not rule it out as a "classic" case just because the blood wasn’t drained. In British Columbia In July of 1981, a veterinarian with 23 years' experience (during which he has autopsled hundreds of cattle) exam¬ ined with amazement a freshly-classically-mutilated cow which still con¬ tained ample blood, altbou£^ there was Itttle or no bleeding from the wounds where parts were removed (more details on this case in our next issue). Overall, we support Mr. Austin in his endeavor. There Is certainly room for another clearing-house operation as there Is no lack of data, &om all quadrants, with which we must contend. We will hope to pre¬ sent more from the Mutilation Data Center In future issues. THE MOUNTIES VS. THE MEDIA The following article appeared In the Edmonton, Alberta JOURNAL on June 13, 198D: A protest against Calgary RCMP handHng of Information on ani¬ mal mutilations in Alberta has been fUed by Hiompson MacDon¬ ald, vice-president of news and public affairs for CFCN Commu¬ nications Ltd. of Calgary. In a Telex to RCMP Superintendent Howard Hall, Thompson said Thursday the RCMP's decision not to release details on the mutilatlona Is not In the best public 261 20 Interest. "Surely a free flow of Information on incidejiiti magnitude can produce leads that the RCMP has so £ unable to turn up", Thompson said, "...Secrecy and Ingness to comment creates speculation, inaccuracy even greater air of mystery and concern". He added not be up to the RCMP to decide what Information is public interest. s of this been an unwUl- id an it should In the best ax am We'd like to rail against the RCMP ourselves; but rather the space, we'll simply say: Bravo, Thompson MacDonal year later, by the way, and the basic situation has not than taking up d.
