MK Ultra is considered to be a highly secretive CIA project in which the agency conducted hundreds of secret experiments, how did it work? A shocking story has unfolded.
Forty years ago, the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was pressured to release documents that revealed that human mind control experiments had been carried out, including electric shocks, drugs without informing the victims. And other horrible methods were used.
The American intelligence community was alarmed when some prisoners of war from the Korean War rallied around the communist campaign in the United States, fearing that China and the Soviet Union would find ways to control the mind and allow their agents to pass intelligence. The CIA may have allocated کروڑ 25 million for psychological experiments on humans.
Some of these brutal methods are being described
Acid test
MK Ultra’s early projects included ‘Operation Midnight Climax’, for which they set up locations designated as ‘Safe House’, where men would bring in prostitutes without warning and They were given LSDs so that CIA scientists could research them.
People were invited to parties where LSD was given along with live music, these parties were called ‘acid test’ or acid test. Such invitations, a few years later, played a key role in promoting ‘hippie culture’ and psychological movements in the United States.
But some of the most damaging experiments were performed at the Allen Memorial Institute in Montreal, a psychiatric hospital in Canada, where the minds of an unknown number of patients were somehow destroyed.
The Allen
The hospital, known as The Allen and run by Scottish-American Donald Avon Cameron, is considered one of the world’s foremost psychiatrists.
Cameron was president of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) from 1952 to 1953 and again in 1963. He was president of the Canadian Psychiatric Association from 1958 to 1959, the Society of Biological Psychiatry in 1965, and the World Psychiatric Association from 1961 to 1966.
Lou was a social activist who loved to sing. He ran his own business. Her life and her family were devastated when she left The Allen Hospital.
Dr. Cameron
The CIA contacted Dr. Cameron three years after the launch of MK Ultra through the Society of Human Ecology Research, a fictitious organization that provided aid.
Cameron was developing a new scientific strategy that would allow the mind to resemble a computer and be programmed anew by erasing the memory. He had to be brought into a child-like mental state in which doctors could take advantage of a person’s mental weakness.
In such a beginning of mind-making, new ideas could be inserted into human memory and no one would realize that these ideas were not their own.
The method of psychological experiments
Patients coming to the hospital for treatment of minor ailments such as postpartum depression or anxiety were admitted here where they were kept in a chemical coma for several days or months.
According to Cameron’s theory, high-power, high-frequency electric shocks would have ‘brainstormed’ their minds, leaving them in a state where they could have better mental capacity.
The end of the program and the anger of the families
The MK Ultra project was halted in 1964, but was not actually completed until 1973. Evidence has been found that signs of his activities have been removed.
