### Fort Detrick and Deep Creek Lake
[[Frank Olson]], an Army bacteriologist and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] contractor, worked on biological weapons at [[Fort Detrick]] in Frederick. On November 18 and 19, 1953, [[Sidney Gottlieb]] convened a retreat of about ten [[Office of Technical Service|Technical Services Staff]] officers and contractors at a cabin at Deep Creek Lake in western Maryland, where Olson was among those given [[LSD]] without warning; he died in New York nine days later.[^1][^2] The Army gave LSD to soldiers at [[Edgewood Arsenal]] in a parallel program.[^1] Garland Williams of the [[Federal Bureau of Narcotics]] helped establish the [[Office of Strategic Services]] training schools in Maryland and Virginia.[^3] [[Frank Wisner]], who had directed the CIA's Office of Policy Coordination, retired to his farm in Maryland under psychiatric care and shot himself on October 29, 1965.[^11]
### Remote Viewing
The Army's remote-viewing program began at [[Fort Meade]] in 1977 under the name Gondola Wish, and continued as Grill Flame, [[Center Lane]] and [[Sun Streak]] before the [[Stargate Project|Star Gate]] name.[^4] At [[Aberdeen Proving Ground]], [[John Kramar]] was chief of the Ground Warfare Division of the [[Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity]], which evaluated Grill Flame in 1979, and the Aberdeen physicist [[Evan Harris Walker]] was named principal investigator of a 1978 Army request to fund a remote-viewing machine.[^5][^6] [[Eldon Byrd]] studied the effects of electromagnetic fields on living systems at the Naval Surface Weapons Center at White Oak.[^7]
### Accelerationism and the Zizians
The federal case against members of [[The Base]], 8:20-cr-00033, was brought in the District of Maryland; William Garfield Bilbrough IV of Denton pleaded guilty in December 2020 to conspiring to transport and harbor the Canadian reservist [[Patrik Jordan Mathews]], whom he had driven east from Michigan after August 30, 2019.[^8] In April 2025 the Maryland Coordination and Analysis Center, the state's fusion center, published an advisory describing The Base's founder, [[Rinaldo Nazzaro]], as having "for years garnered suspicions of being a Russian intelligence asset."[^9] On February 16, 2025, [[Jack LaSota]] of [[The Zizians]] was arrested with [[Michelle Zajko]] and Daniel Blank near Frostburg in Allegany County, where they were living in two box trucks, and prosecutors moved to try the group's members together in Maryland.[^10]

### Installations
From April 1964 to October 1967 the Soviet defector [[Yuri Nosenko]] was held in solitary confinement in a specially built cell at [[Camp Peary]], "The Farm," the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]'s training facility, on the judgment of [[James Jesus Angleton]] that he was a false defector.[^1] From September 1966 to September 1967 [[Manuel Contreras]], later head of Chile's [[DINA]], attended the Army's career officers school at [[Fort Belvoir]].[^2] Lieutenant Colonel [[Jim Channon]] wrote *[[First Earth Battalion|The First Earth Battalion]]* in 1979 as a concept paper of Task Force Delta at the headquarters of the Army's Training and Doctrine Command at Fort Monroe.[^3] [[Alan Standorf]], a civilian analyst at [[Vint Hill Farms Station]] outside Warrenton, "which is run by the army for the [[NSA|National Security Agency]]," died of a blow to the head around January 3, 1991, and was found in the back seat of his car at Washington National Airport on January 28.[^4] In June 1955 [[Nelson Rockefeller]]'s first [[Quantico I and II|Quantico panel]] met at the Marine Corps School in [[Quantico]].[^5]
### Residents and Meetings
[[Marion Pettie]], founder of [[The Finders]], was born in Culpeper in 1920, ran a communal property in the mountains near the town, and died there on October 24, 2003; he said [[Timothy Leary]] sent people down to it in the 1960s.[^6] [[Aldrich Ames]] bought a 540,000-dollar house in Arlington for cash in 1989, on a CIA salary of about 70,000 dollars.[^7] In September 1976 the investigator [[Gaeton Fonzi]] arranged for [[Antonio Veciana]] to meet [[David Atlee Phillips]] at a conference of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers in Reston.[^8] [[Sidney Gottlieb]] kept a goat farm in rural Virginia.[^9] [[Harry Snyder]] of Virginia Tech and Arlene Snyder, as Systemetrics of Blacksburg, wrote the 1979 critical evaluation of remote-viewing research held by the CIA.[^10] The Virginia editor [[James J. Kilpatrick]] was vice chairman of the segregationist [[Coordinating Committee for Fundamental American Freedoms]], which grew out of discussions that included Hugh V. White Jr., formerly of the [[Virginia Commission on Constitutional Government]], and was financed in large part anonymously by [[Wickliffe Draper]].[^11]
### Accelerationism
[[Nicholas Giampa]], seventeen, of Lorton, a follower of [[Atomwaffen Division]], shot his girlfriend's parents in their Reston home on December 22, 2017, and died in custody without trial.[^12] Members of [[The Base]] were arrested on January 16, 2020, four days before the [[Virginia Citizens Defense League]] Lobby Day rally in Richmond, at which they had discussed mass violence.[^13]
