In 1953, the CIA's Project "MKUltra" began. MKUltra is the code name given to a secret CIA program of mind control experiments, sometimes involuntary and involving the unethical use of hallucinogens, on test subjects.
If you think "My Government would never do this!" They have, and they will.
These experiments were intended to identify and develop drugs and procedures to be used in interrogations in order to weaken the individual and force confessions through mind control, and often run without the test subject's consent or knowledge.
Under MKUltra, the CIA created secret detention camps in international areas under American control so experiments could be done on prisoners without being prosecuted. They hired British psychiatrist Donald Ewen Cameron to conduct experiments on patients, including dosing them with LSD and putting them in drug induced comas for weeks at a time. They even went as far as secretly dosing Dr. Frank Olson with LSD after he asked to resign from the CIA, resulting in his suicide.
In 1973, amid a government-wide panic caused by Watergate, CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all MKUltra files destroyed. Most CIA documentation of the project was destroyed, however 20,000 documents survived because they had been incorrectly stored in a financial records building.
We only know about MKUltra today because of a misplaced cache and a Freedom of Information Request filed in 1977.
There is zero reason to believe that this program is anything other than a fraction of everything going on, or that they wouldn't have equivalents that continue to this day.
Whistleblowing and transparency, ESPECIALLY regarding the Government, are absolutely necessary. Information like this will never be freely released.
Your Government, and the shadow agencies that truly run it behind the scenes, are capable of absolute horror and absolute secrecy. There is no world, no scenario, no excuse, that giving them more power is anything other than the worst idea imaginable.
The fact that every honest citizen in America isn't demanding that every one of the 3 letter agencies be completely stripped of their resources and abolished is incredibly concerning.
