LSD Party Favors: MKULTRA

MKULTRA is a top secret project organized by the United States Central Intelligence Agency, also known as the CIA. The agency searched for ways to control human minds through several different processes. The CIA would try to do this through drugs, chemicals, torture, verbal abuse, sexual abuse, and sensory deprivation. MKULTRA was a project that wanted to make individual’s minds week in order to get confessions and conduct mind control. The project had 149 subprojects and extended from 1951 to its end in 1973. MKULTRA hadn’t taken off until 1953. In 1963, the CIA Inspector General made a detailed report which

The CIA’s involvement in the killing of JFK is one of the popular theories put forward by conspiracy theorists. President Kennedy was said to have told an official in his administration, “I want to splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds” (McGovern, 2013, para. 3). Many of the individuals who disliked Kennedy believed he was the reason for the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961. They also believed that he would reduce the size of the military industrial complex and that he was not going after communism hard enough. The CIA was involved

Ergot can affect any part of the body in both people and animals and can cause problems in any body system, known or unknown. The symptoms can range from mental to physical distresses, such as extreme confusion and hallucinations to convulsions and crippling loss of movement (Bonnet & Basson, 2004). While LSD is not addictive, it can do damage similar to, but not as extensive as, the plant of its origin, ergot.

Book 3 three is just the detailed Staff reports on intelligence activities and the rights of the American people. It has 989 pages. It talks about FBI’s covert action programs, FBI informants, CIA and FBI mail opening, CIA’s Chaos program, and the improper surveillance by the military.

Project MK Ultra was first brought to public attention by anonymous tips (“Id,”2016). Because of those tips, in 1975 the Church Committee of the U.S. Congress and Gerald Ford began to investigate CIA activities within the United States (“Id,”2016). Investigative efforts were initially hampered by the fact that CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all MK Ultra files destroyed in 1973; however, the Church Committee and Rockefeller Commission investigations relied on both the sworn testimony of direct participants and on the relatively small number of documents that survived Helms ' destruction order (“Id,”2016). “One 1955 MK Ultra document gives an indication of the size and range of the effort; this document refers to the study of an assortment of mind-altering substances” (“Id,”2016). Obviously enough information survived or else we still wouldn’t know about these experiments today.

Project MKUltra, sometimes referred to as Project Monarch, is a program of many different experiments tested on American Citizens by the CIA. Experiments on humans were intended to identify and develop drugs and procedures to be used in interrogations and torture, in order to weaken the individual to force confessions through mind control. Project MKUltra started in the 1950’s and lasted around 20 years. The CIA experimented on countless unsuspecting American Citizens that were exposed to drugs, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, abuse and torture. Subjects that were least likely to put up a fight were picked for the operation. Popular places and subjects were nursing homes, prisons, mental hospitals, homeless people, and drug addicts. Over 44 different universities were involved in the operation. Doctor Sidney Gottlieb was chosen to lead the program when it officially began in 1953. The US started mind control experiments, torture, and brainwashing programs after reports that the Chinese and North Koreans were testing techniques on prisoners of war in WWII. The CIA was authorized to commit 6% of of their entire operating budget on MKUltra with no guidelines or oversight on how it was spent. Operations for MKUltra were so secretive that even the agents running the the CIA front companies were alleged to have not known anything beyond their own

After World War II ended, the age of baby-booming and urban sprawling began. During this time, many American soldiers came home from the war; married, and had five or six children. This created the largest generation ever. Could this new generation change the social world of America? In 1964, most of the baby-boomer's children were in their late teens. This was the beginning of a major social change in the United States. With the birth of rock-n-roll not far in the past, and a growing liberalism of the normally conservative American Society, it is no wonder that a powerful hallucinogenic drug called LSD gained so much popularity.

Many tactics are used to keep the general public incapable from approaching the facility and learning about what in fact occurs inside. Area 51 has been a topic of interest and fascination among many people for years; however, it’s existence has only recently been acknowledged by the American government. Since the origination, the government has refused to admit the presence of an area named Area 51 and an Air Force Attorney once told a judge in a 1995 case that “there is no operating location near Groom Lake” (CNN). The reason for the hearing was because Area 51 workers had claimed to be poisoned due to being exposed to toxic chemicals and other classified materials. Some workers even died after developing unusual respiratory problems and rashes. One problem which occurred during the hearing is that none of the men were able to declassify what they did inside of Area 51 because they signed a security oath which barred any disclosures about the facility and left the judge with not a sufficient amount of evidence to proceed the case. The case was dismissed and in 1992, an official history of the U-2 spacecraft program was published and released by the CIA. In 2002, Jeffrey Richelson reviewed the CIA’s copy of the program and he “filed a new Freedom of Information Act request and the documents arrived July 2013, this time with fewer redactions. Therein, the first-ever reference to Area 51” (CNN). The governments blatant lie about the nonexistent facility sparked annoyance among many individuals and has given rise to many conspiracy theorists. A major shift in the public’s opinion on Area 51 occurred when Robert Lazar freely spoke to the media about what occurred inside while he was an employee at the facility. His allegation of the government

Intelligence on Unit 731 found. Undisclosed to the public. Censured from history books. Covert underground research facility for biological, nuclear, radiological, and chemical forms of warfare.

Approximately 2,800 records, including field reports, cables, and interview summaries, have been released to the public by National Archives. Conversations from the FBI, CIA, and congressional investigators discussing dead ends, exhausted leads, interviews, as well as the checking and rechecking of sources, are just a snippet of information now available to the public.

A top secret meeting location was said to have been created in Maryland for the purpose of MJ-12 that was only accessible via air. Much of the funding for Majestic-12 came through illegal CIA activities such as the drug trade to keep the funding and project out of the eyes of the representatives in

In 2011, he was awarded Ridenhour Prize for TruthTelling and was co-recipient of Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence (SAAII) award. As we progress into this paper, we will discuss various stages of this crime such as what were his actions in NSA, NSA inquiry and acknowledgement, Inevitable Whistleblowing, FBI raids, Indictment, Court proceedings, Government arguments, final disposition, what happened since 2012. In this paper we will also discuss the Espionage act and Whistleblowing, what is a part of the McCarran Internal Security Act and what was the Nation Defense information, classified information which was mishandled by Thomas Andrew Drake.

The term “Covert Action” brings with it a connotation of shadowy figures wrapped in secrecy and intrigue. It also brings with it a substantial amount of moral questions as to “what is right.” The use of covert action has been widely publicized since the early seventies, but trying to find out the truth to these events has been difficult to say the least. What is even more difficult, is historically recording these events into categories of successes or failures. These operations are difficult to dissect because of their secrecy and although events have been recorded, some facts simply aren’t apparent. This paper will seek to identify the complex issues associated with covert operations.
