WMR has received the following letter from a long-time NSA employee who is a victim of the psychiatric abuse:

NSA's Own Nest of Cuckoos

NSA's tribe of headshrinkers consists of a trio of psychologically tortuous on-the-payroll psychologists led by Dr. John Schmidt. Dr. Marianne Moran and Dr. Dina Wieczynski are his fledgling understudies who directly execute orders from both NSA's Office of General Counsel and NSA's Office of Security. These three psychologists hold all the cards for continued access to employment but many question if these doctors are abiding by the ethics of their profession. Most unsuspecting employees targeted by NSA's network of neoconservative officials often endure repeated brutal types of mental interrogations. Reminiscent of the witch trials in past centuries, former co-workers or acquaintances of these "marked" employees for termination are welcomed to falsify statements to Federal law enforcement agents assigned to NSA. Schmidt, Moran, and Wieczynski salivate in anticipation of their next victim to abuse. All three are conducting their own sadistic method of torture; Dr. Schmidt prefers to make female subjects sexually uncomfortable, but tends to take a harsher stand with males. Dr. Moran, like Dr. Wieczynski, appears to diagnose everyone with "personality trait" disorders, despite non-Agency doctors finding to the contrary. Based on a series of documents, Dr. Wieczynski appears to have mastered the art of psychic-evaluation, where the employee doesn't even have to be present for an evaluation but she is able to give a complete "unbiased" analysis into the person's psyche. These talents are truly amazing considering the overwhelming number of agency-diagnosed employees with "personality trait" problems or, in essence, "sociopaths" who have freely wandered the halls of NSA over the past years. Particularly poetic is the fact that so many were never identified and rejected initially through the stringent security background investigations the agency conducts. On the other hand, the rising numbers of "insanity" cases could just reflect the Gestapo-like tactics generating massive paranoia throughout NSA. One former agency employee stated, "We are nothing more than lab rats for psychological testing at the whim of a hierarchy out of control . . . it is like being trapped in a fixed maze where there is no way to escape." How long will this career-fatal cat and mouse game continue?

NSA Security resorts to Soviet-style "Psikhushka" to intimidate and terminate career employees. The neocon assault on U.S. national security continues. It's beyond time to take action.

UPDATE: Since this story ran, WMR has received further information about the staff of the NSA psikhushka. Dr. Wieczynski received her PhD in clinical psychology from George Mason University in 2000 and went to work for the Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center at Jessup, Maryland's maximum security forensic psychiatric hospital until 2003. From dealing with some of Maryland's most dangerous convicts, Hayden's team selected Wieczynski to psychologically evaluate career NSA employees for fitness. It is also noteworthy that Wieczynski's colleague, Dr. Moran, also worked at the Perkins hospital for the criminally insane before joining Dr. Schmidt's staff at NSA. Schmidt's "psikhushka" actions have extended beyond Fort Meade. As early as the early 1990s, Schmidt was used by NSA management to diagnose a civilian NSA contracting officer technical representative at Naval Security Group Sugar Grove, West Virginia as psychologically paranoid and delusional because he brought attention to fraudulent activity by the commanding officer for changing ratings on contractor performance appraisals.

NOTE: This editor was attached to NSA in the mid-1980s. Although I have been a critic of the agency over the years -- on issues concerning NSA strictly abiding by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the Constitution -- it is absolutely treasonous what is now taking place at Fort Meade. NSA is responsible for one of the most critical intelligence functions in the United States Intelligence Community -- signals intelligence, the discipline that ensured America's military victories in World War II. The neocons are not only rifling through sensitive raw intercepts of the personal communications of U.S. citizens but they are now conducting a purge of independent-minded intelligence analysts and technicians at NSA who refuse to kowtow to the "new normality" of quasi-fascist control of the United States Intelligence Community. Combine this neocon abuse at NSA with the outing of non-official cover CIA agents, punishing national security whistleblowers, and other outrages, and one must conclude that the neocons are extremely dangerous elements within the United States government and they must be held accountable for their destructive actions.

WMR has received another scathing letter concerning the neocon pogrom at NSA. The following was recently received by mail with a Maryland postmark:

Headmistress of NSA Rules the Roost with an Iron Fist

Marie Vogelei is the chief of the secretive wing of NSA's Office of Security responsible for personnel disciplinary actions which result in the revoking of employees' clearances. Vogelei's department is ironically called Employee Relations and disguises itself officially under a branch of NSA's Associate Directorate for Human Resources. Employee Relations, formerly known as Adverse Action, changed their name in hopes of recreating a friendlier image by sponsoring propaganda seminars presented to agency managers encouraging naming names of so-called "problem employees." After years of promoting Backstabbing 101, it appears the agency has mastered the technique like skilled Samurai. The number of unemployed SIGINT spies has significantly risen under Warden Vogelei's watchful eye. Sources closest to her organization within the guarded palace walls whisper RUMINT (Rumor intelligence) the department of Employee Relations may be rapidly expanding personnel. Of course that is just until they end up having to fire their own staff. When will the game of duck-duck-goose end? Maybe NSA needs to hire Donald Trump to do the honors. Agency All Message reading, "Attention NSA: You're fired!"

The situation at NSA is getting worse by the day. The Bush administration of neocon traitors are dismantling America's intelligence infrastructure, one that has served this nation generally well since the end of World War II (not counting the 911 disaster, which has all the hallmarks of yet another Bush family treasonous action against the United States of America, an action the U.S. intelligence community was PREVENTED from stopping). This is another call to join WMR in a letter writing campaign to Congress seeking a stop the gutting of America's intelligence infrastructure
