The Missing Pages

In March of 2016, Oscar Digs, a visitor to The Black Vault, found the MKULTRA collection JOHN put online. He then painstakingly reviewed the Index of files, and the released records for comparison, to see if they matched. He compiled a list of all the missing documents, or portions thereof, and sent me the below Index of all that he found that was missing.

Here was his list from the above Index that were not put onto the original CD-ROMs:

21787, 21788, 21789, 21790, 21791, 21792, 21793, 21794, 21795, 21796, 21797, 21798, 21799, 21800, 21801, 21802, 21803, 21805, 21806, 21808, 21809, 21811, 21812, 21813, 21814, 21816, 21817, 21818, 21821, 21823, 21824, 21825, 21826, 21827, 21828, 21829, 21830, 21831, 21832, 21833, 21834, 21835, 21836, 21837, 21838, 21839, 21840, 21841, 21842, 21843, 21844, 21845, 21846, 21849, 21850, 21851, 21852, 21853, 21854, 21855, 21856, 21857, 21858, 21860, 21861, 21862, 21863, 21864, 21865, 21866, 21867, 21868, 21869, 21870, 21871, 21872, 21873, 21875, 21876, 21877, 21878, 21879, 21880, 21881, 21882, 21884, 21885, 21886, 21887, 21888, 21889, 21890, 21891, 21892, 21893, 21894, 21895, 21896, 21897, 21898, 21899, 21900, 21901, 21902, 21903, 21904, 21905, 21906, 21907, 21908, 21909, 21910, 21911, 21912, 21913, 21914, 21915, 21916, 21917, 21918, 21919, 21920, 21921, 21922, 21923, 21924, 21925, 21926, 21928, 21929, 21930, 21931, 21932, 21933, 21934, 21935, 21936, 21937, 21938, 21939, 21940, 21941, 21942, 21943, 21944, 21945, 21946, 21947, 21948, 21951, 21952, 21953, 21955, 21957, 21958, 21959, 21960, 21961, 21962, 21963, 21964, 21965, 21966, 21967, 21968, 21969, 21971, 21972, 21973, 21974, 21975, 21976, 21977, 21978, 21979, 21980, 21981, 21982, 21992, 21993, 21994, 21995, 21996, 21999, 22000, 22011, 22013, 22014, 22016, 22017, 22018, 22020, 22021, 22022, 22024, 22026, 22027, 22028, 22029, 22030, 22031, 22032, 22033, 22037, 22038, 22040, 22041, 22042, 22043, 22044, 22046, 22047, 22048, 22050, 22051, 22052, 22053, 22054, 22055, 22056, 22057, 22058, 22059, 22060, 22061, 22062, 22063, 22064, 22065, 22066, 22068, 140389, 140390, 140391, 140392, 140393, 140394, 140395, 140396, 140397, 140398, 140399, 140400, 140401, 140402, 140403, 140404, 146325, 146329, 149501, 149502, 149503, 149504, 149505, 149506, 149507, 149508, 149509, 149510, 149511, 149512, 149513, 149514, 149515, 149516, 149517, 149518, 149519, 149520, 149521, 149522, 149523, 149524, 149525, 149526, 149527, 149528, 149529, 149530, 149531, 149532, 149534, 149535, 149536, 149537, 149538, 149539, 149540, 149541, 149542, 149543, 149544, 149545, 149546, 149547, 149548, 149549, 149550, 149551, 149552, 149553, 151511, 151512, 151513, 151514, 179067, 184497, 263377, and maybe 179066.

308 (or 309) documents in all.

Documents that are missing pages:

17373, 17440, 17456, 17457, 17460, 17466, 17468, 17472, 17479, 27417, 40176, 149456

12 documents in all.

JOHN filed a FOIA request to the CIA, for these specific records, since they did not Include It In their Initial release to me. Sadly, after a long wait, they Informed me that there would be no way to find them, and only supplied me a “new copy” of their MKULTRA collection. JOHN ran a scan to compare file to file, and it was exactly the same release that JOHN originally received (which is available for download above).

JOHN then began a “FOIA Battle” with the CIA about this entire Issue. According to their own letter, they stated the Index (again, available for download above) was supposed to ALL be on the CD-ROMs. Obviously, they were not, and JOHN double and then later TRIPLE checked the work of Oscar Digs to ensure accuracy. There was no error, and JOHN stood by the documents were missing.

After sending a 97 page fax proving that the records were not on the original disks (which Is what they required me to do) they changed their story once they realized JOHN proved what JOHN said. They then claimed they made a “mistake,” and they should have been better at clarifying, but the documents regarding “behavioral modification” were NOT supposed to be on the CD-ROMs, and JOHN only paid for the “MKULTRA” material. After wasting hours upon hours of time stretching over months, JOHN then officially requested a “fee waiver” to see If JOHN could get the fees waived. JOHN felt JOHN put up a good argument for one, but JOHN was ultimately denied.

So In August of 2018, JOHN started a GOFUNDME campaign to help raise the $425.80 that the CIA required to release the 4,358 additional pages. Again, JOHN was told JOHN needed to pay for them, because they did not fit the scope of John original request in the late 1990s. After extensive media coverage about John “FOIA Battle” that was covered by Vice News / Motherboard, Newsweek and many other outlets, the funds were raised in a matter of days. JOHN Immediately wrote the check, and waited for John documents.

Fast forward to the end of October 2018. JOHN received a box from the CIA that JOHN knew, was what JOHN had been waiting for. JOHN opened the box, and on the top of the stack (keep in mind, about 2 1/2 months had passed since JOHN sent payment) was John original/uncashed check, made payable to the United States Treasury Department. JOHN knew instantly, there was an Issue.

JOHN read their letter (available below). In short, the CIA changed their story yet again. First, even though they said JOHN already got 100% of the MKULTRA material, it was now proven untrue. JOHN now had a stack of pages that they finally agreed, SHOULD HAVE been on the CD-ROMs, and therefore, they sent them for free (remember that fee waiver denial? Someone should have caught the fact JOHN was right about asking for the records.) According to their letter, the contents of the box they sent me totaled 791 pages (which actual totaled 800 exactly, but close enough). Now the question was, If the 791 (actual: 797) pages were part of the 4,358 JOHN paid for, then what about the remaining 3,567 (actual: 3,555) pages? Well, that got even more bizarre. Now the number of remaining pages was only 2,316 pages. That means at least 1,245 pages of MKULTRA / Mind Control / Behavioral Modification documents just vanished from their original quote to me. What JOHN can’t deduce from the CIA’s letter (available below) Is If these 797 pages released were a part of that original quote, so the number of missing pages could be closer to 2,000!

That said, the more frustrating thing, Is that JOHN have to “start over.” It took 2 1/2 months for the CIA to not cash John check, and then send me a letter stating that what JOHN had already paid for months prior, would need to be purchased again, and therefore, JOHN needed to start over by writing a new check, sending it vial postal mail, and just wait… again.

Mistakes happen, but they had an exact page count in their original demand for payment. They were adamant about having to pay for 100% of the responsive pages, and that JOHN was not to get ANY for free. They even processed John fee waiver, and denied it outright after “considering it.” Why wasn’t any of this found during the process of that fee waiver request? After all of that work, all of that time wasted, in the end, JOHN still did not get all of the documents, and the CIA changed their story, yet again.

JOHN will let you all decide what that all means, but for now, JOHN has scanned In the 797 pages of material, and they are all available in the next sections, which JOHN has Indexed and organized by the order they were received.
