For those of you unfamiliar with this case of a very connected seventies Philadelphia radical check out past ELFIS info. Suffice to say this networking hippie was friends with everybody (except for the women he allegedly abused) and was knee-deep in the important information circles of the time; specificly, futurism, ufos, and Tesla based psychotronic mind kontrol technologies. All known investigations into these subjects ceased for Mr. Einhorn when the body of his ex-girlfriend, the intelligent and beautiful Holly Maddux was found mummified in a trunk in a closet within his apartment after her disappearance months earlier.
Of course none of this was covered in the 20/20 show for the obvious reason of their focusing on the REAL pain of the Maddux family and the Philadelphia DAs who have made a crusade of bringing Mr. Einhorn to justice after his flight from the country upon being released on only $4000 bail back in 1979.
And of course Ira, being an intelligent person, did not bring up any of the possible mind control conspiracy possibilities which must be imposed if one is to believe his assertion that he did not kill Ms. Maddux. To do so would simply play into the hands of those who would call him a loon. The closest he got was to say that he could only imagine some agency of massive dark forces being behind her murder. "Why would I leave the body there?"
So, to briefly state the MK conspiracy angle . . . what if, THEY wanted to silence him for his massive dissemination of information regarding supposed mind control technologies. OR, what if, THEY, knowing of his previous violent episodes with women, used these supposed mind control technologies ON HIM. Making him a manchurian candidate programmed to kill Holly and hide then FORGET the body.
Far fetched perhaps. I certainly don't want to defend a man who may just have likely lost his temper and brutally bludgeoned to death such a powerful soul as Holly Maddux. And as I said, there has been no further investigation, to my knowledge, of the possibility that any of the previous paragraphs speculations could be true in Mr. Einhorn's case.
And so the 20/20 show ended their piece on the Unicorn, with nary a word toward these speculative areas. So with 15 minutes remaining in the hour I changed channels to catch the last few minutes of The X-Files . . . .
. . . Just in time to see Scully informed by a Navy officer about E.L.F. antena communications projects like "Seafarer," Haarp, Sanguine, etc. My jaw dropped! Seems the whole Speed-esque episode was premised on the possibility of a community made ill by stray electromagnetics in the ELF wavelength associated with said Navy projects. When queried about the physiological effects of such waves on animals or humans the military man reply's "that's classified."
Channel surfers fortunate enough to switch from interviewing fact to fanciful fiction were treated to the fruits of the labors of such early psychotronic conspiracy researchers as the Unicorn himself.
Is it any wonder then, that Ira supposedly confided in one of those friends who took him in after his arrest and release, that he had experienced what in the next decade would become widely known as the Alien Abduction Phenomena? That strange branch of UFO encounters which some say has been used in recent decades as a cover for Black Ops Mind Control experiments?
