During
World War II, the Nazis used hallucinogenic drugs in
various mind control experiments. When key Nazis
were advising the US intelligence services after the war
(see Project Paperclip) it inspired certain figures in
the CIA to continue the research. After a few
years of testing "LSD-25" (lysergic acid diethylamide)
was settled on as the acid of choice. LSD had been
developed by researchers at Sandoz Pharmaceutic, and
quickly became the backbone of the "MK-Ultra Project."
From 1955 to 1958, the CIA dosed approximately 1000
unsuspecting people with LSD to see what would happen.
This is a proven fact and came to light in the 1970's
during Senate hearings on suspected CIA abuses.
All of this was discovered despite the fact that
MK-Ultra mastermind Richard Helms had already ordered
the shredding of all MK-Ultra and LSD documents due to a
"burgeoning paper problem." If the Senate (which
is hardly the world's most efficient investigatory body)
found out about this from the documents that somehow
survived, it makes you wonder what was in the documents
that were shredded.
But getting back to MK-Ultra in its heyday in the
early 1950's...
In 1953 the CIA ordered 30 million doses of LSD from
Sandoz Pharmaceutic. Sandoz refused to fill the
order and the Eli Lilly Company was given the contract
instead. They promised the CIA shipments of
"tonnage" quantities. One ton of LSD would be
enough for 2.5 billion doses.
In the 1960's, even though the CIA claims to have
ended the MK-Ultra project in the late 50's, LSD was
being manufactured in underground labs in San Francisco,
with the covert assistance of the CIA. The plan
there was get the anti-war protesters to "tune out" on
LSD and stop their pesky peace marches and
demonstrations.
But that's not the end of the story. The
"acid-trip" aspect of LSD was just a tangent. The
real purpose behind the whole MK-Ultra idea was mind
control. Sirhan Sirhan, Lee Harvey Oswald, John
Hinkley, and Mark David Chapman are all suspected of
being under some type of mind control during their
respective assassinations, assassination involvement, or
assassination attempts. The whole Jonestown cult
in Guyana is believed to have been an offshoot of the
MK-Ultra project; a massive mind control experiment
which was in danger of being exposed and had to be
violently shut down. Despite what you may have
read, there wasn't any poison Kool-Aid in Jonestown.
