Mark Zepezauer's Argument Analysis

In a letter written by Admiral Stansfield Turner, Director of Central Intelligence Agency dated July 15, 1977, he disclosed a recent discovery of seven boxes of documents related to Project MKULTRA. The CIA tried to cover up the evidence that MKULTRA ever existed they sent Seven boxes to retired records in Washington

Through psychological warfare the involvement in our every day lives without our knowing or intention of benefiting its civilians is established. MKUltra was a CIA mind control program that began in the early 1950s that made illegal experimentation on unsuspecting people to further the research on mind control. This shocking illegal program crafted by the government brings to question what other things are being kept hidden. The evidence at hand of the existence of projects similar to MKUltra exhibits a disturbing, intrusive, abusive power. Although the government is the brain of the nation, this does not justify the illegal partaking interest in attempting to control its people through mind control. Since it will lead to corruption that will ultimately harm the Nation through self-benefiting selfish actions. Digging deeper in this iniquitous program, MKUltra can be

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

Gerald Graff is a professor of English and education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Graff, in his essay, emphasizes the importance for instructors to teach and increase enjoyable courses that students shall truly understand. Graff assures that all kids have hidden intellectualism trying to emerge from within, and as a teacher he feels partly accountable to help those kids develop their competencies in educational work. The essence of Graff’s argument is for students to know that intellectualism lurks within them all, and they need to implement their potential at school. Furthermore, he enriches the essay based totally on his own life experiences, along with his hidden intellectualism, while he attended school during the anti-intellectualism

The day November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, would soon become known as a tragic day in US history. John F Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, had been drumming up support for the upcoming election. Tragically, he was brutally gunned down by Lee Harvey Oswald. At first glance, this assassination seems like a simple murder. A communist defector simply was angry with JFK and decided to kill him. Many people have failed to notice, however, that the CIA not only had motive to kill JFK, but they also attempted to cover up many details about Lee Harvey Oswald, and JFK in general. If the general populus continues to believe what the CIA wants them to, we will never understand who truly was responsible for his death. The CIA played a large role in John F Kennedy’s death because of the CIA’s motive to kill him, the CIA coverups in the investigation following his death, and promising unfollowed leads that the investigators have ignored.

Since the dawn of mankind, clusters of innovations throughout history have allowed for societal progression at an explosive rate. While primarily fostering a centrifugal system of advancements; humans’ interests in expansion is spiraling out of control. Throughout history elements of collapse can be traced through civilizations and natural resources. Wright’s argument posits humans have hyperextended their utilization of resources at a rate that cannot be replenished, therein by setting up the world for the largest ecological collapse in history (Wright, 2004, pg. 130-131). Due to the cyclical process of past collapse and reformation humans have an advantage to rectify our current consumption rates ultimately avoiding a fate similar to past societies (Wright, 2004, pg. 131). As such Wright’s argument should frame larger discussions of responsible citizenship.

The first statement in the passage, “All who consider other teachings equal to or higher than the Gospel err, and they do not know what the Gospel is” reflects the Protestant theology that the Bible is the highest form of authority when making decisions in matters of faith and morals of Christianity. The “Gospel” is the teaching of Christ and this statement conveys that people who believe that teachings other than the teaching of Christ (Bible), are the same as or higher in authority than the Bible, do not know what the Bible and its teachings are. This proves that Zwingli is supporting the belief, of the Bible being the highest form of authority, in his writing.

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

Believe it or not, there were other similar projects before MK-ULTRA. MK-ARTICHOKE founded in 1951 was to study hypnosis and machine addictions. Other sub-projects like MK-SEARCH, MK-OFTEN, project BLUEBIRD and a whole lot more were apart of MK-ULTRA. Even the US military ran their own tests of mind control. All of these projects were prior the MK-ULTRA. During the late 1940's the CIA produced and played very important roles in what was then known as Operation PAPERCLIP, probably the biggest sub-project in MK-ULTRA history. This branch of MK-ULTRA brought more than 1500 scientists, doctors, and engineers to America from Germany and other foreign countries. The three main purposes for PAPERCLIP were to prevent the Soviet and UK from getting their hands on German technology; gain German scientific expertise and knowledge and prevent Germany from rebuilding their strength military and scientifically wise. Another big part of MK-ULTRA was MK-SEARCH. MK-SEARCH in 1964 became a successor for a lot of MK-ULTRA. A whole bunch of projects and tests went under the name of MK-ULTRA, but the more sensitive projects and tests went under

Project MK/Ultra was a mind control experiment by the US Government. The CIA decided that using Lysergic acid diethylamide, LSD for short, was a smart idea. So they decided to try and make people to be easier to “suggest” by getting them hopped up on the drug so that it would emotionally cripple them. Though this might seem a little stupid, it does make some logical sense, but not ethical sense. If you can damage, or destroy someone’s mind to the point in which it reverts to a more suggestible state you can change the way they listen to you. Sort of like hypnosis, but with more drugs. MK/Ultra was dedicated to programming the perfect sleeper agent. A sleeper agent is someone who is secretly a spy. The sleeper agent was used by the Russians

I agree with your statement that Olympe de Gouge is pushing women to be aware of the gender inequalities and stand for their rights in her Declaration of the Right’s of Women. In her declaration she asked women the question “Women when will you cease to be blind?” She is urging the women to start taking action regarding these gender inequalities. In the declaration, she outlined many rights that should be given to women and some of them were very controversial. She is implying that women have the power in their hand to be treated fairly, but they have to take actions in regards to this issue. As what she said in her declaration “Regardless of what barriers to confront your, it is your power to free yourselves; you only have to want to.” Fighting

It is very clear that even with the title of both readings that Ma is against the likelihood of democratization occurring in China while Liu and Chen are more in favor of democratization occurring within two decades. They both point out similar points like China’s economy, the political structure but Ma has a clearer point and more current with the view that the United States has on displayed. Liu and Chen approach that with China’s human rights issues and individuals’ emotions of Chinese nationalism having somewhat like a false flag. It seems that they are trying to convey the message that China will eventually have its own type of Arab Springs like Chinese Springs. They oppose each other in views but provide reasonable arguments for why it

Allen Dulles, Director of the CIA, was intrigued by Chinese use of brainwashing used on the prisoners of war. He wanted to scientifically learn more about the techniques they could use in the future, he later consulted with Dr. Harold Wolff. The Doctor was enthusiastic about starting a study that would lead to much of the CIA’s knowledge about communist Brainwashing.
