I propose the following article, to direct attention to the fact that while ordinary people, unaware, live the so-called daily life, a part of our society has objectives that, although concealed, masked, or, under the term “state secrets,” are nothing but demented actions of a satanic ideology. MK means mind control.

The intent to control human minds was and is one of the ideals of those who want to have complete power over them. The present project of the CIA is the continuation of previous endeavors, and although today officially nothing of the kind is admitted, we can be sure that under other headings everything continued. Let’s see what the article says:

Project MKULTRA, or MK-ULTRA, was the codename for a super-secret CIA research program into mind control and the use of chemical interrogation that began in the early 1950s and continued until at least the late 1950s and early 1960s. There is a lot of evidence that the project has dealt with the unauthorized use (by the recipient) of many types of drugs as well as other methodologies to manipulate the mental states of individuals and alter their brain functions.

The MK-ULTRA project was initially brought to the attention of the general public in 1975 by the United States Congress, following investigations by an internal commission (the Church Committee) and by a presidential commission known as the Rockefeller Commission. Investigative efforts were hampered by the fact that CIA Director Richard Helms had ordered the destruction of all MKULTRA records in 1973.

Although the CIA insists that experiments such as those of MKULTRA have been abandoned, Victor Marchetti (a CIA veteran for 14 years) has stated in various interviews that the CIA regularly conducts disinformation campaigns and that the CIA’s mind control research has never stopped. In a 1977 interview, Marchetti specifically called the CIA’s position on the abandonment of MKULTRA a “cover story.”

In a 1977 interview, Marchetti specifically called the CIA’s position on the abandonment of MKULTRA a “cover story.”

In the Senate in 1977, Senator Ted Kennedy said, “These tests involved administering LSD to unsuspecting subjects in social situations.” At least one death, that of Dr. [Frank] Olson, resulted from these activities. The agency itself acknowledges that these tests had little scientific significance. “The monitoring agents were not qualified scientific observers.”

Name and origins

The project deliberately uses a CIA codename consisting of the letters MK (signifying that the project was funded by the agency’s Technical Services Division) followed by the word “ULTRA,” arbitrarily taken from the dictionary. Other related codenames include MKNAOMI (to which I will return in another article; just think that he has been credited with the laboratory “creation” of AIDS) and MKDELTA.

Before it, there had already been many other secret US government projects to study mind control, interrogation, behavior modification, and related topics. These include Project Chatter (established in 1947) and Project Bluebird (established in 1950), which was renamed Project Artichoke in 1951. Directed by Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, MKULTRA was launched on the orders of CIA Director Allen Dulles on April 13, 1953, primarily in response to Soviet, Chinese, and North Korean mind control techniques used on US prisoners of war in Korea.

The CIA wanted to use similar methods on their prisoners. The CIA was also interested in being able to manipulate foreign leaders with such techniques, and there is evidence that they concocted several different drug plans for Fidel Castro. The experiments were generally conducted without the knowledge or consent of the subjects. In 1964, the project was renamed MKSEARCH.

The project sought to produce a “perfect” truth serum for use in interrogations with Soviet spies during the Cold War and generally for exploring any other mind-control possibilities. Since many MKULTRA documents were deliberately destroyed in 1973, it has been difficult, if not impossible, for investigators to obtain a complete picture of the more than 150 sub-projects funded by MKULTRA and related CIA programs.

Goals

The agency has poured millions of dollars into studies to investigate dozens of methods of influencing and controlling the mind. A 1955 MKULTRA paper offers an indication of the magnitude and extent of the effort. This paper refers to the study of an assortment of mind-altering substances described as follows:

1. Substances capable of promoting illogical thinking and impulsivity to the point that the recipient can be discredited in public.
2. Substances capable of increasing mental efficiency and perception.
3. Materials that can prevent or counteract the intoxicating effects of alcohol.
4. Materials that can promote the intoxicating effect of alcohol.
5. Materials capable of producing the signs and symptoms of known diseases in a reversible manner, such as to be used to simulate/induce certain ailments, etc.
6. Materials capable of making hypnotic induction easier or capable of amplifying its usefulness.
7. Substances capable of increasing the ability of individuals to resist deprivation, torture, and coercion during interrogations and so-called “brainwashing”.
8. Physical materials and methods capable of producing amnesia for events preceding and during their use.
9. Physical methods of producing shock and confusion for extended periods and the ability to do so covertly.
10. Substances that produce physical disabilities such as leg paralysis, acute anemia, etc.
11. Substances that produce “pure” euphoria without consequent let-down.
12. Substances alter the personality structure in such a way that the recipient’s tendency to become dependent on another person is amplified.
13. A material that causes such mental confusion that an individual under its influence finds it difficult to maintain a lie upon questioning.
14. Substances capable of lowering the ambition and general work efficiency of men when administered in undetectable quantities.
15. Substances that promote weakness or distortion of vision or hearing faculties, preferably without permanent damage.
16. A knockout pill that can be administered in drinks, food, cigarettes, as well as vaporized, etc., that is safe to use, providing maximum amnesia
17. A material that can be subtly administered in the ways mentioned above and that in very small quantities makes it impossible for a man to carry out any activity whatsoever.

Budget

A secret arrangement guaranteed a percentage of the CIA budget. In 1953, the director of MKULTRA was guaranteed 6% of the CIA’s operational budget without having to be accountable.

Experiments

CIA documents suggest that “chemical, biological, and radiological” contexts were investigated for mind control as part of MKULTRA.

LSD

The early studies focused on LSD, which would later dominate many MKULTRA programs. The experiments included administering LSD to CIA employees, military personnel, doctors, other government agents, prostitutes, psychiatric patients, and ordinary members of the population to study their reactions. LSD and other drugs were generally administered without the consent and awareness of the subjects (a violation of the Nuremberg Code that the United States was sworn to follow after World War II).

Attempts to “recruit” subjects were often illegal, even ignoring the fact that drugs were being administered (although the use of LSD, for example, was still legal in the United States until October 6, 1966). In Operation “Midnight Climax,” the CIA struck deals with several brothels to get a selection of men who would be too embarrassed to talk about the events. These men were drugged with LSD, and these brothels were equipped with “magic” mirrors (allowing one to observe without being seen), and all “sessions” were filmed for later viewing and study.

Some subjects’ participation was voluntary, and in most of these cases, the subjects were involved in even more extreme experiments. In one case, volunteers were given LSD for 77 consecutive days. LSD was later abandoned by MKULTRA researchers due to its unpredictable effects. Although some useful information has been obtained through questioning subjects on LSD.

Other drugs

Another technique that has been investigated involves the contingent use of a barbiturate in one arm and amphetamine in the other. The barbiturates were initially released into the subject, and as he began to fall asleep, the amphetamines were released. Subjects began to babble meaningless things, and it was often possible to ask questions and get useful answers. Other experiments have involved the use of heroin, morphine, temazepam (used under the code name MKSEARCH), mescaline, psilocybin, scopolamine, marijuana, alcohol, and pentothal sodium.

Hypnosis

MKULTRA’s declassified documents indicate that hypnosis has been studied since the early 1950s. The objectives of the experiments included the creation of “hypnotically induced anxiety,” “the hypnotic enhancement of the ability to learn and recall complex concepts in written form”, the study of polygraphy in a hypnotic state, “hypnotically enhancing the ability to observe and recall complex arrangements of physical objects” and “the study of the relationship between personality and susceptibility to hypnosis.”

Canadian experiments

The experiments were exported to Canada when the CIA recruited the Scottish doctor Donald Ewen Cameron, creator of the concept of “psychic driving,” which the CIA found particularly interesting. Cameron hoped he could cure schizophrenia by erasing existing memories and completely rebuilding the brain. He commuted from Albany, New York, to Montreal every week to work at McGill University’s Allan Memorial Institute and was paid $69,000 from 1957 to 1964 to carry out the MKULTRA experiments there.

In addition to LSD, Cameron has also experimented with both various paralytic drugs and electroconvulsive therapies at 30 to 40 times their normal potency. His “psychic driving” experiments involved putting subjects into a drug-induced coma for weeks at a time (in one case, up to 3 months) while playing tapes with constant noise or repeating affirmations. His experiments have usually been performed on patients who had come into the institution for minor problems such as anxiety disorders and postpartum depression, many of whom have since suffered permanent damage as a result of his actions.

His treatments led to victims suffering from incontinence, amnesia, the inability to speak, and forgetting their parents, with researchers thinking they were his parents. His work was inspired by and paralleled by that of the English psychiatrist William Sargant at St. Thomas’s Hospital in London and Belmont Hospital in Surrey, who also experimented extensively, causing much harm to his patients without their consent. He was involved with the Secret Service. It was during this same period that Cameron became known worldwide as the first chairman of the World Psychiatric Association as well as president of the American and Canadian psychiatric associations.

Cameron had also been a member of the Nuremberg medical tribunal just a decade earlier. causing much harm to his patients without their consent. He was involved with the Secret Service.

Revelation

In December 1974, the New York Times reported that the CIA had conducted illegal domestic activities, including experiments on American citizens, during the 1960s. This fact prompted an investigation by the US Congress, which looked into the domestic activities of the CIA, FBI, and military intelligence agencies.

In the summer of 1975, reports from the Church Commission and the Rockefeller Presidential Commission revealed to the public for the first time that the CIA and Department of Defense had conducted experiments on unwilling human subjects as part of a vast program to influence and control human behavior through the use of psychoactive drugs such as LSD and mescaline and other chemicals, biological, or psychological means. They also revealed that at least one subject died after the administration of LSD.

The commission that investigated this CIA project, headed by Senator Frank Church, concluded that “previous consent to the experiments was not obtained from any subject.” The commission also noted that “the experiments carried out by these researchers… underscore the decision by the agencies not to set guidelines for the experiments.”

Following the recommendations of the Church Commission, President Gerald Ford issued the first Executive Order on Intelligence Activities in 1996, which, among other things, prohibited “drug experimentation on human subjects, except with informed consent, in written form, and witnessed by disinterested third parties,” and by the guidelines issued by the National Commission.

Subsequent orders from Presidents Carter and Reagan extended the directive to apply to all human experimentation. Based on the revelations of the CIA experiments, similar stories have emerged regarding the experiments of the US Army. In 1975, the Secretariat of the Army instructed the Inspector General of the Army to investigate.

Among the Inspector General’s finds was a 1953 handwritten memo from then Secretary of Defense Charles Erwin Wilson (the so-called “Wilson Memo”). The Wilson Memo, by the protocols of the Nuremberg Code, mandated that only volunteers be used in experimental operations conducted in the US military. In response to the Inspector General’s investigation, the Wilson Memo was declassified in 1975.

Regarding drug experiments within the Army, the Inspector General found that “the evidence reflects that every possible medical consideration has been observed by professional investigators in Medical Research Laboratories.” However, the Inspector General also found that the requirements set forth by Wilson in his 1953 memo were only partially followed; indeed, he concluded that “the volunteers were not fully informed, as requested, before their participation, and the methods of procuring their services, in many cases, appeared not to be in accord with the intent of Department of the Army policies on the use of volunteers in searches.”

It has been found that other branches of the US military, such as the Air Force, did not adhere to the stipulations of the Wilson Memo regarding voluntary drug experimentation. In Canada, the problem took much longer to surface, becoming widely known only in 1984 thanks to a CBC information program, “The Fifth Estate.”

It has been learned that not only had the CIA funded Dr. Cameron’s efforts but more shockingly, the Canadian government was fully aware of this and subsequently provided an additional $500,000 in funding to continue the experiments. This revelation made the victims abandon their intent to denounce the CIA as their US counterparts had. The Canadian government negotiated, privately and out of court, a $100,000 settlement for each of the 127 victims.

The Report of the United States General Accounting Office

The United States General Accounting Office issued a report on September 28, 1994, which stated that, between 1940 and 1974, the Department of Defense and other national security agencies had studied thousands of human subjects with tests and experiments in which dangerous and noxious substances were involved. A quote from the study:

[..] Working with the CIA, the Department of Defense gave hallucinogenic drugs to thousands of “volunteer” subjects in the 1950s and 1960s. In addition to LSD, the Army also tested quinuclidinyl benzilate, a hallucinogen codenamed BZ. (Note 37) Many of these tests were conducted in the so-called MKULTRA program, established to counter perceived advances in Chinese and Soviet brainwashing techniques. Between 1953 and 1964, the program contained 149 projects involving drug tests and other studies on unsuspecting human subjects.

Dead

Harold Blauer, a professional tennis player from New York, died later from a secret military experiment involving MDA.

Frank Olson, a US Army biochemist, and biological weapons researcher was administered LSD without his knowledge or consent in 1953 as part of a CIA experiment and mysteriously committed suicide a week after a severe psychotic episode. A CIA doctor assigned to monitor Olson’s recovery claimed to have fallen asleep in a different bed than the one he woke up in when Olson jumped out the window.

Olson’s son disputes this version of events, claiming that his father was killed for his knowledge of lethal interrogation techniques employed by the CIA in Europe and used on prisoners during the Cold War. Frank Olson’s body was exhumed in 1994, bringing out particular wounds to the skull that indicated that he had been knocked unconscious before being “let out” through the window. The internal CIA investigation, by contrast, states that Gottlieb experimented with Olson’s consent, although neither Olson nor the other men who had taken part in the experiment were informed of the exact nature of the drug for up to 20 minutes after their ingestion.

The report further suggests that Gottlieb was recalled, however, as he failed to address Olsen’s already-diagnosed suicidal tendencies, which may have been amplified by LSD. although neither Olson nor the other men who had taken part in the experiment were informed of the exact nature of the drug until 20 minutes after their ingestion.

Legal issues of informed consent

The revelations about the CIA and the Army prompted several subjects or survivors to sue the federal government for conducting illegal experiments. Although the government aggressively, and sometimes successfully, sought to avoid liability, many plaintiffs received compensation as a result of judicial orders, private agreements, or acts of Congress. Frank Olson’s family received $750,000 in a special act of Congress, and both President Ford and CIA Director William Colby met with Olson’s family to make public apologies.

Previously, the CIA and the Army had actively and successfully attempted to withhold incriminating information, including by secretly providing reparations to families. A subject of drug experimentation, James Stanley, a sergeant in the Army, has been pursuing an important, if unsuccessful, lawsuit. The government argued that Stanley was barred from filing a lawsuit under the Feres Doctrine, which prohibits members of the military from reporting to the government for any damage that may have occurred to them as a “service incident.”

In 1987, the Supreme Court affirmed this defense in a 5:4 decision striking down the Stanley case. The majority argued that military discipline is at stake. Disagreeing, Justice William Brennan argued that the need to preserve military discipline should not protect the government from accountability and punishment for gross violations of constitutional rights. The medical suffering at Nuremberg in 1947 deeply affected the world, as experimentation on unwitting human subjects is morally and legally unacceptable. The United States Military Tribunal established the Nuremberg Code as the standard for judging German scientists who had experimented on human subjects. Defying this principle,

Judge Sandra Day O’Connor, writing in a separate dissent, said:

No legally created rule should insulate from liability the unintentional and unwitting human experimentation alleged to have taken place in this case. Indeed, as Justice Brennan notes, the United States played an instrumental role in the criminal prosecution of Nazi officers who experimented with human subjects during World War II, and the Nuremberg Military Tribunal standards developed for judging the behavior of defendants have stated that “the voluntary consent of human subjects is essential [..] to satisfy moral, ethical, and legal concepts.”

If this principle is violated, the least society can do is ensure that victims are compensated in the best possible way by those responsible. This is the only Supreme Court case involving the application of the Nuremberg Code to US government experimentation. And while the lawsuit was unsuccessful, the disagreeing opinions have put the Army, and by implication, the entire government, in the position that the use of individuals without their consent is unacceptable.

The limited application of the Nuremberg Code in the United States does not detract from the principles it enunciates, especially in light of histories of failure to follow these principles, as appears in the media and professional literature during the 1960s and 1970s and policies eventually adopted in the mid-1970s. In another lawsuit, Wayne Ritchie, a former US marshal.

Entity of participation

44 American colleges and universities, 15 research foundations or chemical or pharmaceutical companies, 12 hospitals or clinics (in addition to those associated with universities), and 3 prisons are known to have participated in the MKULTRA program.

Famous Subjects

Considerable evidence supports the thesis that Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski was a participant in the CIA-sponsored MKULTRA experiments conducted at Harvard University by Henry A. Murray, a professor of social relations, from the fall of 1959 until the spring of 1962. Kaczynski was the subject of a “disturbing and ethically indefensible experiment on 22 college students.” Kaczynski was a precocious, intelligent, well-mannered, impressionable sixteen-year-old when he began his participation, and his code name was “Lawful” (= legal, lawful). Years later, he emerged as a terrorist who was sentenced to life without parole.

Merry Prankster Ken Kesey, the author of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” was a volunteer in MKULTRA’s experiments while a student at Stanford University. Kesey’s ingestion of LSD during these experiments led directly to his extensive promotion of the drug and the subsequent development of hippie culture. Some attribute the murder of Robert F. Kennedy to Project MKULTRA. There is indeed evidence and testimony that the killer, Sirhan Sirhan, was subjected to mind control. Recently, these views have become more popular after evidence was given by Sirhan’s attorney, Lawrence Teeter, on June 11, 2003, during an interview on KPFA 94.1 radio’s Guns & Butter show.

After Leo Ryan (an “uncomfortable” American politician) was killed in Jonestown, his son filed a lawsuit accusing the CIA of operating Jonestown as part of their MKULTRA program and that Richard Dwyer, the Embassy Deputy Secretary, the American who organized the trip on behalf of Ryan was a CIA agent. The lawsuit was terminated for reasons that have never been made public, and most US government records regarding Jonestown remain classified to this day.

Conclusion

Formally, the MK project would be terminated. The work of the USA would now be impeccable. Is it really like this? .. Perhaps the project is finished, but other projects have replaced it. One of the aims of the project was to create multiple personalities for use on occasion. Agents without their knowledge, lobotomized politicians, clueless criminals, terrorists to be slaughtered, slaves and sex slaves, etc. For those who want to know if the above has a sequel, I recommend reading the book: “Trance Formation of America”
