Recently Miles Johnston of the bases project, uploaded a two-part interview with retired US Lt. Colonel Michael Aquino - which is notable, not only since Acquino has long been involved with secret U.S. military programs, including psychological and space warfare - but is also openly an operator of the Satanic 'Temple of Set' cult. Additionally, he has been named directly by several survivors of satanic ritual abuse and trauma induced mind control as being a primary perpetrator. Here is the description of Aquino offered with the interview:

Michael A Aquino is a Lt Colonel, Psychological Operations, US Army (Ret). He is a graduate of the Industrial College of the Armed Forces, National Defense University; Defense Intelligence College, Defense Intelligence Agency; Foreign Service Institute, Department of State; US Army Special Warfare Center (Special Forces (“Green Beret”)/Psychological Operations/Civil Affairs/Foreign Area Officer); US Army Command & General Staff College; U.S. Army Intelligence School, and US Army Space Institute.



Decorations include the Bronze Star, Meritorious Service Medal, Air Medal, Army Commendation Medal (3 awards), Special Forces Tab, Parachutist Badge, USAF Space & Missile Badge, and the Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross, Psychological Warfare Medal (First Class), & Air Service Medal (Honor Grade).



Academic credentials include the BA, MA, and PhD in Political Science from the University of California, Santa Barbara; and the MPA in Public Administration from George Washington University. He has taught as Adjunct Professor of Political Science, Golden Gate University.



He is a past National Commander of the Eagle Scout Honor Society and recipient of its Knight Eagle Distinguished Service Award, as well as of the Vigil Honor of the Order of the Arrow and the Distinguished Service Key of Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity.



In 2006, following his retirement as a US government officer, he was recognized by Scotland’s Lord Lyon King of Arms as the 13th Baron of Rachane, Argyllshire. He is a member of Clan Campbell.



Since 1975 he has been a Priest of the ancient Egyptian god Set, and served as High Priest of the international Temple of Set until 1996.

During the interview, Acquino comes across as intelligent and presents an image of a kind of 'caring metaphysician' who simply wants to know the truth so as to help humanity. For his own reasons, Miles does not do very much to present to Acquino any kind of significant evidence to contradict the rosy picture he paints of himself and many who consider (rightly or wrongly) Acquino to be one of the most evil individuals ever to have walked the Earth - will be let down. To briefly summarise the interview, he describes in decent scientific language some of the non-physical properties of the soul, which he relates back to the teachings from the mystery schools of Egypt and beyond. I have no problem with these understandings and for the most part i agree with what he is saying. He also describes other phenomena that relate to the bases project's main theme of ufo and ET contact as well as aspects of reality creation - which are fundamental to the job of a psychological warfare operative.

Here are the issues that I personally have with his message:

As a 'high ranking' psychological warfare operative, his primary training and skillset involves deception and knowing the human psychology deeply enough that he can manipulate anyone and lie to them effectively, without them knowing. This means that an interview with him must be interpreted with that in mind and we must be very careful to question everything and not take anything at face value. If the psychology that is being expressed through the U.S. military were personified as an individual person in a small village, it is very likely that that person would have been kicked out by the village for their own safety or even executed due to the actions the individual took. It is due in part to the actions of the psychological warfare depts. that so many millions of innocents have been killed and yet still so many 'patriotic Americans' sign up to continue the pointless slaughter. It is fine for Acquino to claim that he joined the psy-ops dept. to attempt to avoid open warfare, but in reality that is not exactly what psy-ops is used for. Psy-ops can be used to facilitate and make more effective the kind of physical warfare that horrify us and more than that, it can be used to inflict injuries that are invisible - making it all the more easy to claim to those who are unaware that these psychological WARFARE operations are some kind of 'saving grace' of humanity. There are many ways to use understandings of the soul and psychology to help humanity and military (and even satanic) ways are not among them.

Several apparent survivors of the publicly acknowledged U.S. trauma based mind control programs have mentioned Acqino by name as being one of the main torturers and orchestrators - for example, Cathy O'Brien's book 'Trance Formation of America'. For those who are unaware, MKUltra and other derivative programs are among the most evil actions we publicly know to have been carried out by humans. They were carried out by U.S. military and government groups and have been admitted to publicly and (quietly) apologised for by the U.S. Government. If the wider public fully understood the details and implications of this, it would probably be the biggest topic of discussion on Earth - and rightly so - since it is the literal application of evil to members of a nation by their alleged 'own government'. These programs involved taking people (often children and babies) against their will and literally torturing them (often killing them) in order to attempt to use the induced trauma to facilitate literal brain programming that could result in a fractured personality that effectively renders the individual to be a mind controlled slave. The purpose of these slaves might be to act as undetectable assassins - since their primary personality knows nothing of the other 'hidden' personality that is trained to kill... or the slave might be used for other purposes, such as being a controlled 'President' of a nation or other group. The fact that Acquino openly admits to running a satanic cult and has been identified as a major criminal by survivors of these evil programs, should, in any sane world at least result in his arrest and independent interrogation. To my knowledge, nothing of this kind has ever occurred and instead his accolades and 'qualifications' mount up instead.

Miles brought the topic of Jimmy Saville into the conversation, which is relevant for numerous reasons - not least because Saville mirrors the image of Acquino that many think to be his true nature. By this I mean that Saville was held up by the BBC in Britain to be an upstanding member of society 'doing a lot of good work for charity' - while in truth he was continuously abusing his position to attack and rape all manner of individuals - apparently even including having sex with dead bodies in a morgue of a secure facility he had been given priority access to. Acquino gives no significant response to the topic of Jimmy Saville and many listeners will suspect they know why.

In my own personal journey I have had numerous experiences which would fall into various categories of 'paranormal' and they have actually included an unannounced invitation to join 'the council of 9' - which i later learned to be part of the temple of set. At that time I was very focused on learning the mechanics of the universe, the dimensions and also studying sacred geometry. I was having a conversation with a female who ran a class in a London college of spirituality when suddenly her eyes dilated and she started channelling another consciousness who wanted to speak with me. I immediately took this to be the presence of a heartless entity, since free will was clearly being trampled. The invitation was to join 'the council of 9' and help them on Earth. At that time I didn't even know who they were and they didn't really say. Needless to say, I turned down the offer. I do not for one moment think that the reality of 'the temple of set' is as it is being publicly presented by Acquino. Let us not forget that the U.S. government even hired PR firm 'Hill and Knowlton' to totally deceive the world about the the events that led up to war with Iraq - totally falsifying evidence relentlessly. We know they did this, so there is absolutely zero reason to naively trust a single word they come out with on any other even vaguely related topic.

I could go on and on here, but my main points are expressed. Here are the 2 parts of the interview:
