Project MKULTRA (also known as MK-ULTRA) was the code name for a CIA mind-control research program that began in the 1950s. There is much published evidence that the project involved not only the use of drugs to manipulate persons, but also the use of electronic signals to alter brain functioning.

On the Senate floor in 1977, Senator Ted Kennedy said:


--------

In 1964, the project was renamed MKSEARCH. The project attempted to produce a perfect truth drug for use in interrogating suspected Soviet spies during the Cold War, and generally to explore any other possibilities of mind control.
Because most of the MKULTRA records were deliberately destroyed in 1973 by order of the Director at that time, the disgraced Richard Helms, it is impossible to have a complete understanding of the more than 150 individually funded research projects sponsored by MKULTRA and related CIA programs
Experiments were often conducted without the subjects' knowledge or consent

-------

These studies weren't conducted merely to satisfy the CIA's scientific curiosity -- the Agency was looking for weapons that would give the United States the upper hand in the mind wars. Toward that objective, the Agency poured millions of dollars into studies probing literally dozens of methods of influencing and controlling the mind. One 1955 MKULTRA document gives an indication of the size and range of the effort; the memo refers to the study of an assortment of mind-altering substances which would:

* "promote illogical thinking and impulsiveness to the point where the recipient would be discredited in public"
* "increase the efficiency of mentation and perception"
* "prevent or counteract the intoxicating effect of alcohol"
* "promote the intoxicating effect of alcohol"
* "produce the signs and symptoms of recognized diseases in a reversible way so that they may be used for malingering, etc."
* "render the indication of hypnosis easier or otherwise enhance its usefulness"
* "enhance the ability of individuals to withstand privation, torture and coercion during interrogation and so-called 'brainwashing'"
* "produce amnesia for events preceding and during their use"
* "produc[e] shock and confusion over extended periods of time and capable of surreptitious use"
* "produce physical disablement such as paralysis of the legs, acute anemia, etc."
* "produce 'pure' euphoria with no subsequent let-down"
* "alter personality structure in such a way that the tendency of the recipient to become dependent upon another person is enhanced"
* "cause mental confusion of such a type that the individual under its influence will find it difficult to maintain a fabrication under questioning"
* "lower the ambition and general working efficiency of men when administered in undetectable amounts"
* "promote weakness or distortion of the eyesight or hearing faculties, preferably without permanent effects"

Few of MKULTRA's objectives were realized, but the very conduct of these experiments caused many critics of the CIA to argue that, successful or not, CIA scientists shouldn't pry at the doors of perception.

i think that story is about as scary as your friggin avatar.

but yea the goverment tested LSD on plenty of test subjects,,and i even read and heard about cia agents playing a game of sorts trying to dose each other with LSD to see how easy or hard it would be to use in the field,,but i never heard of random testing on the general public.

there was a place called edgewood arsenal where they tested lsd. thinking the russians were going to drop lsd on america they had to test it out.

dang i wish they did, no more war!! thats what you call a bomb of love.

imagine when the gov found out the power of lsd they banned it big time, if people started taking lsd they would be dropping out and the government wont have any control

could you imagine the friggen chaos a LSD bomb would produce,,youd have huge sections of the country laughing their ass off wile the others would be crying,staring at mirrors,talking to themselves wile hiding in the closet haha man that would be a rough depending on the dose,,,12 to 36 hrs haha i could imagine the randomness of the reporters and writers of the day trying to get the story out haha..


but i prepared my body and mind for such an attack all threw highschool...haha

Two videos from Cathy O'Brien, a supposed survivor of the MK Ultra program (one of the few that didn't commit suicide). The two videos are seperate from each other. I believe her, but there's no mistaken the fact that she's trying to make a living off of it...I don't blame her.

On August 3rd, 1977 the 95th U.S. Congress opened hearings into the reported abuses concerning the CIA's top secret mind control research
program code named MK-Ultra. On February 8th, 1988, a top-level MK-Ultra victim, Cathy O'Brien, was covertly rescued from her mind control
enslavement by Intelligence insider Mark Phillips. Their seven year pursuit of Justice was stopped for "Reasons of national security.
Trance Formation of America exposes the truth behind this covert government program and its ultimate goal: psychological control of a
nation.

TRANCE Formation of America is the first documented autobiography of a victim of government mind control. Cathy O'Brien is the only vocal
and recovered survivor of the Central Intelligence Agency's MK-Ultra Project Monarch operation. Tracing her path from child pornography and
recruitment into the program to serving as a top-level intelligence agent and White House sex slave, TRANCE Formation of America is a
definitive eye-witness account of government corruption that implicates some of the most prominent figures in U.S. politics.

Mark and Cathy tell all, name names, and underscore the insensitivity and involvement of our national leaders, judges, doctors, and many
others to this nightmarish horror it has inflicted upon millions of people in the United States.

Mark touches on the sources and history of mind control while Cathy unveils publicly the horrors she and her family have been subjected to,
horrors which continue to this day.

I have no idea where I found this, probably here somewhere, but it's a blog written by a fellow claiming to be in possession of a box which he believes contains photos and information about a MKULTRA associated base at Indian Lake.

I've been following it for a year or two, can't say if his experience is true. Very interesting reading, at least. Scary for the writer if it is true, I don't know if I'd have the nerve to blog about it. Being in possession of classified government documents, trespassing on government property, suspicious calls, threatening emails...

Most of those photos look plain fake or artificially aged - poor photochop jobs.

Ya think? Seems like there would be plenty of old pictures that would fit the story without having to fake anything. I actually looked at a few in photoshop out of curiosity, he missed some things, and got some of the numbers wrong in the blog descriptions.

Stumbled upon this tonight, while browsing through popular google documentaries. A video mostly about MKULTRA. Interesting interview at about 30 minutes.

To me the majority of them just seem to have that sloppy photoshop-aged look about them - they look like fresh and high res photos that have been digitally aged.

In that link, why would a 1947 nickel look like a 1947 nickel? I mean, it looks like it's been in circulation for a while instead of having been sealed in a box. Dig?

Looking at the full resolution nickel, it looks pretty darn good to me. Too good to be sitting out in the dirt and weather for sixty years. But, as he mentioned, it could have just as easily been dropped recently. Just playing devil's advocate.

Here is a person scratched out (enhanced), he labeled it as a soldier in the woods, or something similar to that. I would think, having the original in his posession he would be able to see this:


Here is one of the numbers he got wrong:


But, I'm derailing. I'm on the fence about the blog. Obviously MKULTRA had bases somewhere in the states, I suppose a remote lake in NY would be as good a location as any.
