Hello, my friends, this is Dr. Beter in Washington. Today is January 21, 1980, and this is my AUDIO LETTER No. 53.

My friends, Dr. Sisco could not have been more right. The individual interviewed by David Frost in Panama was not the Shah at all. In fact, he was not even a human being. It was a kind of living robot, known as a “synthetic automaton“, or more briefly, a “Synthetic.“ I first revealed last October 1979 in AUDIO LETTER No. 51 that Synthetics were beginning to appear on the scene. They are being deployed as a tool of intrigue by the warlike Bolsheviks here in the United States. They are the Bolshevik answer to another type of biological robot which the Russians began deploying earlier in 1979. The Russian type is known as an “Organic Robotoid“, and I first made them public in AUDIO LETTER No. 46 last May. Both the Russian “Robotoids“ and the Bolshevik “Synthetics“ are remarkable creatures. They are manufactured by radically different technologies; but they have one thing in common--they are both artificial life-forms which live and breathe but have to be programmed like computers, and they are the products of three decades of spectacular scientific discoveries out of public view. I have given a little of the scientific background in AUDIO LETTERS Nos. 47 and 51, but Robotoids and Synthetics remain perhaps the most secret of all Intelligence weapons. My three special topics this month are: Topic #1--WAR TENSIONS AND THE LATE SHAH OF IRAN Topic #2--THE SURPRISE TAKE-OVER BY THE KREMLIN “HARD-LINERS“ Topic #3--THE NUCLEAR STRIKE OPERATIONS NOW IN PROGRESS
