In June 1992, at the Radisson Plaza Hotel in Alexandria, Virginia, mental health professionals gathered for the Fourth Annual Eastern Regional Conference on Abuse and Multiple Personality. What started as therapists comparing notes on their patients turned into something far more significant. They began realizing the stories, abuser names, color-coded programming, and triggers they were hearing weren’t isolated — they were systematic, industrial-scale, and organized.
Dr. D. Corydon Hammond wasn’t just presenting his own findings. He was actively developing a network of intelligence, aggregating anecdotal stories from therapists across the country, and piecing together patterns that corroborated each other in real time. You can hear him figuring it out as he goes, learning from mistakes along the way.
In the video I walk through the full speech, the clinical context, the encoded nature of the programming, the prominence of this in bloodline families, the liability these therapists faced, and how this 1992 moment feels like a genuine inflection point — decades before most of the 1950s–70s MKUltra material was officially declassified.
