Crazy Rulers of the World [3 Episodes] (2004)
===========================================================================
Channel 4

(This is a re-upload of a good mini-series that's not been seeded in a hiwle here. I thought this series was very well done, considering the loopiness contained on these shows. Deeper questions could have been asked, but this is a good starting point for those unfamiliar with subjects such as the First Earth Battalion etc as well as other US Military Psyops. I hope I have included enough information.)

Description:

The Crazy Rulers of the World is the extraordinary, never before told story of what happened when chiefs of US intelligence, the army, and the government began believing in "very strange things".

Three years in the making, Jon Ronson's Crazy Rulers of the World explores the apparent madness at the heart of US military intelligence. With first-hand access to the leading players in the story, Jon Ronson examines the extraordinary, and plain bizarre, national secrets at the core of George W Bush's war on terror.

It uncovers the startling truth about the unit's involvement with paranormal activities that defy all known accepted military practice, including mind reading, out of body experiences and 'thought-death' experiments carried out on goats at Fort Bragg. First Earth Battalion it was believed, could develop a cloak of invisibility that soldiers could use, walk through walls and also contain soldiers who could kill goats just by staring at them.

  • Funny Torture
    Original Air Date—14 November 2004
    Looking at how aspects of the New Age movement of the 1980s has influenced US military intelligence officers to invent new ways of torturing detainees in Iraq and Guantanamo Bay.

However, such acts of sadism and degredation conducted in both Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay were linked and were encouraged by secret military forces. Considers Lieutenant Colonel Jim Channon's theories which led to the development of "non-lethal technologies" used by American Forces in the War on Terror.
