Terrifying that Jimmy Shaver’s “handlers” were willing to sacrifice an innocent child, and condemn her to a brutal death, in order to run a live field test.

Well, maybe.

On the other hand, Shaver barely could walk, then “confessed” only under hypnosis and drugs, and even then retracted. It’s still possible he was framed.

To cover whom? Who knows. But then, let’s remember that the next infamous and weird-ass CIA gig (in 80’s) was with the “Finders”:

The Finders’ Keepers

I mean, it could be entirely coincidental, but as the saying goes, «once an accident, twice a trend…».

This alone would smell even without information gone missing.

Shaver’s medical history was scrutinized at trial, but little mention was made of the base hospital where West had conducted his MKULTRA experiments on unwitting patients. On the stand, West said he’d never gotten around to seeing whether Shaver had been treated there. I checked—Lackland officials told me there was no record of him in their master index of patients. But, curiously, all the records for patients in 1954 had been maintained, with one exception: the file for last names beginning with “Sa” through “St” had vanished.

So, a loud case, yet no great diligence from the lawyers.
