The CIA once hid a surprising secret: many years ago, the United States carried out a program called MKUltra, they tried to manipulate people's psychology in various ways, programming memories with electric shocks, experimenting with "spitting agents" on innocent passers-by, and even the military top brass became guinea pigs...
What kind of experiment is this?
The MKUltra program refers to an experiment in human thought control led by the CIA.
The program began in 1953 to study the potential control of the human brain, or the effects of biologics on the human brain. The MKUltra program consists of 149 sub-projects, including 8 related to drug hypnosis, 7 related to the impact of sleep deprivation on human behavior, 6 projects to study the effects of foreign pathogens on human tissues, as well as the impact of shocks, verbal abuse, sexual assault and other stimuli on people.
This vast method of psychiatric experimentation involves controlling people's mental state and brain function by secretly giving drugs (LSDs), or hypnosis, electric shocks, verbal abuse, and various forms of torture...
The CIA recruited a number of doctors, toxicologists, and psychopharists, the most frightening of which was Donald Cameron, a psychiatrist from Scotland. He coined the concept of "mental drive," which is to erase existing memories and then reprogram the mind to treat schizophrenia. In short, it is to use electric shocks to destroy the spiritual defense line and then brainwash you in various ways.
One of the most important studies is about LSD hallucinogens, which, after taking it, will produce hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, out-of-control behavior, logical confusion and other symptoms, while also losing the most basic judgment ability of human beings, and it is likely to cause death when severe. The CIA studied the drug with the fundamental purpose of allowing prisoners of war to betray intelligence during interrogation and reveal enemy dynamics and secrets, which is equivalent to the "truth-telling agent" we see in movies.
The CIA not only conducted a lot of experiments on ordinary people, but also preyed on its own people.
In 1953 the CIA began secretly feeding LSD to an employee and biomilitist, Frank Olson. Soon, he developed severe symptoms of anxiety and paranoia; nine days later, Olson jumped out of a 13th-story window and was killed on the spot.
However, the study of LSD, like many other human trials, eventually aborted. The huge experimental samples obtained by sacrificing countless living flesh and blood did not bring any breakthrough to the researchers.
In 1972, all research materials were destroyed. But two years later, a New York Times story uncovered a long-hidden secret.
In 2009, Vietnam Veterans came forward and revealed that at least 7,800 soldiers had unwittingly taken LSD, causing them severe psychological trauma.
The investigation lasted nearly two decades, until 1995, when Clinton took office, when he finally publicly apologized to the public, acknowledging the existence of the MKUltra program, but saying it was only a "special means of a special period."
