Because I found out years later, I was at the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the cafeteria and I was sitting there.

And this Aussie officer came up from Australia, you know, and asked if he could sit down.

And I said, sure, you know.

And so he sat at a table with me and started talking to me and said my name.

And I said, how do you know my name?

He said, oh, your picture is on the wall of one of our computer people.

He said, you're the one that knocked out our computers over in Australia.

Oh, I did?

So, yeah.

I was flaming mad that day.

Oh, there has been for a long time.

Yeah, and it's been all subterfuge and, you know, hush-hush and all that.

But that's been going on for a long time, yeah.

How long has that been going on for?

I would say since World War II.

When I was in Russian school in California, Monterey, California, to become a Russian linguist, which was my method of service, MOS.

I was officially a Russian linguist intercept operator

And with the caveat of technology.

That was my military MOS.

And one of the teachers came in one day and said that she had been in the Russian psychic warfare program.
