MK ULTRA

MK ULTRA really did exist - we may not want to believe it but we must accept it as a terrifying fact - the point where science fiction became a political horror story.

The U.S. Government really did experiment with brainwashing techniques utilizing a number of methods including hypnosis and mind altering drugs.

Worse still the experiments were carried out  on unsuspecting people  (both civilian and military) without  their knowledge or consent.

The existence of MK ULTRA was first brought to light by maverick government officer John Marks  -  on 20th September 1977 the U.S. Senate investigated MK ULTRA discovering that thousands of people had been the unwitting victims of mind control experiments.

Part of MK ULTRA was the NAOMI PROJECT - involved in the creation of what were later to be called "Manchurian Candidates". Manchurian Candidates were people who were pre-programmed to become assassins without their knowledge. A post hypnotic trigger was used to put them into "killer mode" -  the American classic novel "The Catcher in the Rye" is regarded as containing these triggers. John Gittinger - a psychologist with the C.I.A.  from 1950 to 1979 initially denied these experiments  but later remarked " I guess it really did happen".

Helmut Scherer , ex C.I.A. agent, believes that Lee Harvey Oswald was a victim of MK ULTRA  and William Balley , ex F.B.I., is of the same opinion regarding Sirhan Sirhan - the supposed killer of Robert Kennedy. Photographic proof of Sirhans innocence taken by photographer Scott Engert was supposedly lost by the police but is now found to be legally sealed for 20 years.

Ronald Cohen became a victim of MK ULTRA whilst hitch - hiking in Maryland. He accepted a lift only to find himself taken to a massive military base where he was subjected to experiments involving mind altering drugs. He later found himself dumped at the side of the road when they had finished with him. Another victim was Robert Naestadt - a Swede who found he had an "implant" in his head. Naestadt has the full backing and support of Doctor R. Kilde , the Chief Medical Officer of Finland, who has  X-Ray evidence of the implant.

Other projects included "Third Chance" and "Derby Hat"  which were carried out in conjunction with the U.S. Military - for photographic evidence see below.

Between 1955 and 1975 thousands of people were unwittingly experimented upon by MK ULTRA and the U.S. Military. Of these approximately 7000 enlisted soldiers were used as human guinea pigs in experiments involving a wide array of biological and chemical warfare agents. About 3500 of these soldiers were given mind-altering psycho chemicals - L.S.D.,PCP, BZ and the like. These tests were carried out at the  Chemical Warfare Laboratories at Edgewood Arsenal facility in Maryland. The images below are stills taken from a U.S. Army film.

A History of Experimentation on U.S. Citizens 

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE HISTORY OF SECRET EXPERIMENTATION ON UNITED STATES CITIZENS HAS GONE ON FOR OVER 70 YEARS. WELL, IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW, THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS FACT AND CAN BE VERIFIED BY THOSE WHO HAVE THEIR DOUBTS... 

(1931) Mr. Cornelius Rhoads, under the auspices of the Rockefeller 
Institute for Medical Investigations, infects human subjects with 
cancer cells. He later goes on to establish the U.S. Army Biological 
Warfare facilities in Maryland, Utah, and Panama, and is named to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. While there, he begins a series of radiation exposure experiments on American soldiers and civilian hospital patients. 

(1932)The Tuskegee Syphilis Study begins. 200 black men diagnosed with syphilis are never told of their illness, are denied treatment, and instead are used as human guinea pigs in order to follow the progression and symptoms of the disease. They all subsequently die from syphilis, their families never told that they could have been treated. 

(1935) The Pellagra Incident. After millions of individuals die from 
Pellagra over a span of two decades, the U.S. Public Health Service finally acts to stem the disease. The director of the agency admits it had known for at least 20 years that Pellagra is caused by a niacin deficiency but failed to act since most of the deaths occurred within poverty-stricken black populations. 

(1940) Four hundred prisoners in Chicago are infected with Malaria in order to study the effects of new and experimental drugs to combat the disease. Nazi doctors later on trial at Nuremberg cite this American study to defend their own actions during the Holocaust. 

(1942) Chemical Warfare Services begins mustard gas experiments on approximately 4,000 servicemen. The experiments continue until 1945 and made use of Seventh Day Adventists who chose to become human guinea pigs rather than serve on active duty. 

(1943) In response to Japan's full-scale germ warfare program, the U.S. begins research on biological weapons at Fort Detrick, MD. 
(1944) U.S. Navy uses human subjects to test gas masks and clothing. Individuals were locked in a gas chamber and exposed to mustard gas and lewisite. 

(1945) Project Paperclip is initiated. The U.S. State Department, 
Army intelligence, and the CIA recruit Nazi scientists and offer them immunity and secret identities in exchange for work on top secret government projects in the United States. 

(1945) Program F" is implemented by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC)This is the most extensive U.S. study of the health effects of fluoride, which was the key chemical component in atomic bomb production. One of the most toxic chemicals known to man, fluoride, it is found, causes marked adverse effects to the central nervous system but much of the information is squelched in the name of national security because of fear that lawsuits would undermine full-scale production of atomic bombs. 

(1946) Patients in VA hospitals are used as guinea pigs for medical 
experiments. In order to allay suspicions, the order is given to 
change the word "experiments" to "investigations" or "observations" whenever reporting a medical study performed in one of the nation's veteran's hospitals. 

(1947) Colonel E.E. Kirkpatrick of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission issues a secret document (Document 07075001, January 8, 1947) stating that the agency will begin administering intravenous doses of radioactive substances to human subjects. 

(1947) The CIA begins its study of LSD as a potential weapon for use by American intelligence. Human subjects (both civilian and military) are used with and without their knowledge. 

(1950) Department of Defense begins plans to detonate nuclear weapons in desert areas and monitor downwind residents for medical problems and mortality rates. 

(1950) In an experiment to determine how susceptible an American city could be to biological attack, the U.S. Navy sprays a cloud of bacteria from ships over San Francisco. Monitoring devices are situated throughout the city in order to test the extent of infection. Many residents become ill with pneumonia-like symptoms. 

(1951) Department of Defense begins open air tests using disease-producing bacteria and viruses. Tests last through 1969 and there is concern that people in the surrounding areas have been exposed. 

(1953) U.S. military releases clouds of zinc cadmium sulfide gas over Winnipeg, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Fort Wayne, the Monocacy River Valley in Maryland, and Leesburg, Virginia. Their intent is to 
determine how efficiently they could disperse chemical agents. 

(1953) Joint Army-Navy-CIA experiments are conducted in which tens of thousands of people in New York and San Francisco are exposed to the airborne germs Serratia marcescens and Bacillus glogigii. 

(1953) CIA initiates Project MKULTRA. This is an eleven year research program designed to produce and test drugs and biological agents that would be used for mind control and behavior modification. Six of the subprojects involved testing the agents on unwitting human beings. 

(1955) The CIA, in an experiment to test its ability to infect human populations with biological agents, releases a bacteria withdrawn from the Army's biological warfare arsenal over Tampa Bay, Fl. 

(1955) Army Chemical Corps continues LSD research, studying its 
potential use as a chemical incapacitating agent. More than 1,000 
Americans participate in the tests, which continue until 1958. 

(1956) U.S. military releases mosquitoes infected with Yellow Fever over Savannah, Ga and Avon Park, Fl. Following each test, Army agents posing as public health officials test victims for effects. 

(1958) LSD is tested on 95 volunteers at the Army's Chemical Warfare Laboratories for its effect on intelligence. 

(1960) The Army Assistant Chief-of-Staff for Intelligence (ACSI) 
authorizes field testing of LSD in Europe and the Far East. Testing 
of the European population is code named Project THIRD CHANCE; 
testing of the Asian population is code named Project DERBY HAT. 

(1965) CIA and Department of Defense begin Project MKSEARCH, a program to develop a capability to manipulate human behavior through the use of mind-altering drugs. 

(1965) Prisoners at the Holmesburg State Prison in Philadelphia are 
subjected to dioxin, the highly toxic chemical component of Agent 
Orange used in Vietnam. The men are later studied for development of cancer, which indicates that Agent Orange had been a suspected carcinogen all along. 

(1966) CIA initiates Project MK OFTEN, a program to test the 
toxicological effects of certain drugs on humans and animals. 

(1966) U.S. Army dispenses Bacillus subtilis variant niger throughout the New York City subway system. More than a million civilians are exposed when army scientists drop light bulbs filled with the bacteria onto ventilation grates. 

(1967) CIA and Department of Defense implement Project MK NAOMI, successor to MK ULTRA and designed to maintain, stockpile and test biological and chemical weapons. 


(1968) CIA experiments with the possibility of poisoning drinking 
water by injecting chemicals into the water supply of the FDA in 
Washington, D.C. 

(1969) Mr. Robert MacMahan of the Department of Defense requests from congress $10 million to develop, within 5 to 10 years, a synthetic biological agent to which no natural immunity exists. 

(1970) Funding for the synthetic biological agent is obtained under 
H.R. 15090. The project, under the supervision of the CIA, is carried out by the Special Operations Division at Fort Detrick, the army's top secret biological weapons facility. Speculation is raised that molecular biology techniques are used to produce AIDS-like retroviruses. 

(1970) United States intensifies its development of ethnic weapons (Military Review, Nov., 1970), designed to selectively target and eliminate specific ethnic groups who are susceptible due to genetic differences and variations in DNA. 

(1975) The virus section of Fort Detrick's Center for Biological 
Warfare Research is renamed the Fredrick Cancer Research Facilities and placed under the supervision of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) . It is here that a special virus cancer program is initiated by the U.S. Navy, purportedly to develop cancer-causing viruses. It is also here that retro virologists isolate a virus to which no immunity exists. It is later named HTLV (Human T-cell Leukemia Virus). 

(1977) Senate hearings on Health and Scientific Research confirm that 239 populated areas had been contaminated with biological agents between 1949 and 1969. Some of the areas included San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Key West, Panama City, Minneapolis, and St. Louis.

(1978) Experimental Hepatitis B vaccine trials, conducted by the CDC, begin in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Ads for research subjects specifically ask for promiscuous homosexual men. 

(1981) First cases of AIDS are confirmed in homosexual men in New 
York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, triggering speculation that AIDS 
may have been introduced via the Hepatitis B vaccine. 

(1985) According to the journal Science (227:173-177), HTLV and 
VISNA, a fatal sheep virus, are very similar, indicating a close 
taxonomic and evolutionary relationship. 

(1986) According to the Proceedings of the National Academy of 
Sciences (83:4007-4011), HIV and VISNA are highly similar and share 
all structural elements, except for a small segment which is nearly 
identical to HTLV. This leads to speculation that HTLV and VISNA may 
have been linked to produce a new retrovirus to which no natural 
immunity exists.

(1986) A report to Congress reveals that the U.S. Government's 
current generation of biological agents includes: modified viruses, 
naturally occurring toxins, and agents that are altered through 
genetic engineering to change immunological character and prevent 
treatment by all existing vaccines.

(1987) Department of Defense admits that, despite a treaty banning 
research and development of biological agents, it continues to 
operate research facilities at 127 facilities and universities around 
the nation. 

(1990) More than 1500 six-month old black and Hispanic babies in Los 
Angeles are given an "experimental" measles vaccine that had never 
been licensed for use in the United States. CDC later admits that 
parents were never informed that the vaccine being injected to their 
children was experimental. 

(1994) With a technique called "gene tracking," Dr. Garth Nicolson at 
the MD. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX discovers that many 
returning Desert Storm veterans are infected with an altered strain 
of Mycoplasma incognitus, a microbe commonly used in the production 
of biological weapons. Incorporated into its molecular structure is 
40 percent of the HIV protein coat, indicating that it had been man-
made. 

(1994) Senator John D. Rockefeller issues a report revealing that for 
at least 50 years the Department of Defense has used hundreds of 
thousands of military personnel in human experiments and for 
intentional exposure to dangerous substances. Materials included 
mustard and nerve gas, ionizing radiation, psycho chemicals, 
hallucinogens, and drugs used during the Gulf War. 

(1995) U.S. Government admits that it had offered Japanese war 
criminals and scientists who had performed human medical experiments 
salaries and immunity from prosecution in exchange for data on 
biological warfare research. 

(1995) Dr. Garth Nicolson, uncovers evidence that the biological 
agents used during the Gulf War had been manufactured in Houston, TX. and Boca Raton, Fl. and tested on prisoners in the Texas Department of Corrections. 

(1996) Department of Defense admits that Desert Storm soldiers were 
exposed to chemical agents. 

(1997) Eighty-eight members of Congress sign a letter demanding an 
investigation into bio weapons use & Gulf War Syndrome.

On the 3rd October 1995 ,President Clinton publicly apologized to the thousands of people who became victims of MK ULTRA and other mind-control experimental programs - is an apology good enough?.
