Mind Kontrol Masters
MK-Ultra was the code name for a secret research program conducted by the Central Intelligence Agency in the 1950s through the 1970s
Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities - the political, the religious, the educational authorities - who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing - forming in our minds - their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable open-mindedness, chaotic, confused vulnerability to inform yourself.

Background
MK-Ultra was the code name for a secret research program conducted by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the 1950s through the 1970s. The program’s purpose was to research the use of psychoactive drugs, such as LSD, for mind control and interrogation purposes. As a secret program, many of the details of its activities surfaced not until 1977. That year, a Senate investigation uncovered the extent of the CIA’s involvement in the program. The initial letter of the words “mind control” form the name “MK-Ultra.”
MK-Ultra
The CIA initiated MK-Ultra under the pretext of countering the threat of communist brainwashing. Its goals were to develop methods for interrogation, interrogation resistance, and subversion. The CIA also aimed to find a way to control the minds of foreign leaders’ minds. It wanted a means of interrogation to produce “reliable and valuable information.”
The experiments conducted under the MK-Ultra program were unethical and illegal. The subjects were often unknowing and unwilling participants and faced various treatments. That included the administration of LSD and other drugs and electroconvulsive therapy. Many unwitting subjects suffered severe physical and psychological harm from the experiments.
One of the most infamous aspects of the MK-Ultra program was the use of LSD and other mind-altering drugs on unwitting individuals. In some cases, the subjects ingested the drugs without their knowledge or consent. CIA promised others that the drugs were safe and that they would get “truth serum.” Many of the subjects suffered long-lasting psychological damage from the drug experiments.
Documents related to a 1970s Freedom of Information Act request exposed the MK-Ultra. As a result, the CIA “shut down” (really?) the program in 1973, destroying many records. The resulting public outcry led to several investigations into the program, including a Senate hearing in 1977.
Despite the “official” end of the MK-Ultra program, the legacy of its unethical and harmful experiments continues. Some have suffered long-lasting psychological harm. Others have experienced chronic physical symptoms due to the experiments. The victims of MK-Ultra were unwitting American and Canadian citizens. They suffered from the program’s unethical and harmful experiments. That included individuals from diverse backgrounds. They were prisoners, patients in mental institutions, students, and military personnel. Some got lured into the program under fraudulent pretenses. Others faced coercion into participating.
The MK-Ultra experiments included drugs like LSD to more extreme psychological manipulation. The mind control included hypnosis and electroconvulsive therapy. Many of the subjects suffered severe physical and mental harm from the experiments. Some have continued to experience the program’s effects for the rest of their lives. The program used various techniques, including:
Administration of drugs such as LSD and mescaline to unwitting subjects to study their effects on behavior and psychology
Hypnosis and sensory deprivation as a means to weaken a subject’s ability to resist interrogation or manipulation
Electroconvulsive therapy to induce seizures and investigate it as a means of interrogation or behavior control
Isolation and confinement to study the effects of sensory deprivation and to isolate subjects from external influences
Psychological and physical abuse, including torture, to study the effects on the subject’s mental and emotional state
The below 1979 documentary by ABC News, Mission Mind Control, illustrates legacy media’s past ability to produce real investigative journalism.
Here’s the text describing the video:
In 1979, just two years after U.S. Senate hearings revealed disturbing information about a secret government mind control program code-named Project MKULTRA, this one-hour documentary covering some of the clandestine, illegal activities involved in this mind control project was released.
One of the topics covered by this intriguing film is the bizarre activity of a man named George White, who operated outside of the law while directly under CIA direction.1
At minute 47 into the documentary correspondent Paul Altmeyer states, “And what of George White, the man who helped the agency in so many of its programs. Shortly before his death, he wrote to his boss at the CIA, Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, and summed up his career by saying, ‘It was fun, fun, fun. Where else could a red-blooded American boy lie, kill and cheat, steal, deceive, rape and pillage with the sanction and blessing of the all highest.’”
The film also mentions that Dr. Gottlieb destroyed the records of the mind control programs in 1973. He and many others involved in these projects did not want the public to ever know about the many illegal and immoral activities they had sponsored in their quest for control over the mind. Thankfully, he forgot to destroy the financial records, which contain highly incriminating information. These declassified documents can be ordered by anyone using the information at this link.
Though the CIA denies that the mind control techniques developed in their secretive projects were successful, an abundance of evidence in this film and elsewhere suggests otherwise.
Frank Olson Death
While many people suffered from MK-Ultra, a prominent case was the death of Frank Olson in 1953. Frank Olson was a biochemist and a U.S. Army’s Chemical Corps member. He participated in secret experiments with psychoactive drugs as part of MK-Ultra.
In November 1953, Olson participated in a retreat organized by the CIA. He and other attendees got LSD into their bodies without their knowledge or consent. A few days later, Olson began to experience severe psychological distress and, as a result, ended up hospitalized. Nine days later, he died in “suicide” by jumping out of a hotel room window in New York City.
The CIA covered up the incident, and the U.S. government claimed that Olson’s death was a suicide and that he suffered from a nervous breakdown. But it was not until the 1977 U.S. Senate investigation that the truth emerged about the CIA’s involvement in Olson’s death.
The discovery of the CIA’s involvement in Olson’s death led to a public outcry. It led to increased scrutiny of the government’s use of psychoactive drugs for mind control and interrogation purposes. The U.S. government apologized to Olson’s family and provided compensation for their loss.
The Frank Olson death is an example of government abuse of power and violating citizens’ rights and freedoms. It highlights the dangers of secret government programs. Transparency and accountability in government actions are a must. The incident also serves as a reminder of the need for strong ethical guidelines. Oversight is critical in scientific research and experimentation, especially involving human subjects.
Timothy Leary
Timothy Leary (1920-1996) was an American psychologist and writer.2 He researched the therapeutic and spiritual potential of psychedelic drugs, such as LSD and psilocybin. Leary became a controversial figure in the 1960s due to his advocacy of using these substances.
The CIA became interested in Leary’s work due to his advocacy of using psychoactive substances. The potential implications of his research on mind control and interrogation got the CIA’s attention. Leary was conducting research into the use of psychoactive drugs as part of its MK-Ultra program. The CIA viewed Leary’s work as a potential threat to its efforts to maintain control over this area of research.
As a result, the CIA began to track Leary’s activities and to work to discredit his ideas and research. The agency worked with other organizations and media outlets to spread false information about Leary. Like the kettle calling the pot black, the CIA worked on painting Leary as a dangerous and irresponsible individual. Leary faced arrest and got imprisoned. The government in fusion with the media discredited his work.
Conspiracy Theory Theory
While the CIA experimented with MK-Ultra, the new term “conspiracy theory” emerged. It described allegations of political plots and secret cabals. Conspiracy theory describes claims considered implausible or lacking evidence. The government popularized the term in response to many claims about its misconduct and secret plots.
The decades after the term “conspiracy theory” emerged, it describes many beliefs. They range from plausible and well-supported claims to far-fetched and implausible ideas. This term is also a tool for criticism. Some use it to dismiss or discredit ideas and theories challenging the mainstream narrative. The term “conspiracy theory” continues in use today. Often it is pejorative to describe claims seen as implausible or lacking evidence. Of note, many allegations dismissed as “conspiracy theories” in the past are now accurate (e.g., SARS-COV2 origins). That highlights the need for an open-minded and critical approach when evaluating such claims.
To this day, the debate continues about the CIA’s role in the birth and use of the term “conspiracy theory.” Still, the CIA used the term to discredit allegations of government misconduct and secret plots.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the CIA used the term “conspiracy theory” as part of a more extensive campaign. That countered the agency’s criticism and discredited claims about its activities. The agency worked with media outlets and other organizations to promote the use of the term. It is a negative narrative to deny allegations of government misconduct and secret plots.
It is important to note that the CIA’s efforts to discredit conspiracy theories were part of a more significant effort. That is the U.S. government’s program to control the narrative and shape public opinion. Efforts to discredit or dismiss legitimate claims threaten constitutional norms and values. The government must be transparent and accountable.
Psychological Operations
While the CIA “terminated” MK-Ultra in 1973, many of its methods and techniques continued. That includes Psychological Operations (Psy Ops) programs. The use of mind control and behavioral modification techniques in Psy Ops is a direct link to MK-Ultra.
MK-Ultra and the CIA’s use of Psy Ops is unethical and violates the subjects’ rights. Mind control and behavior modification techniques constitute a form of psychological torture. It breaks the principles of informed consent and medical ethics.
Today, many government departments, large corporations, and nongovernment organizations use Psy Ops in concert. This fusion or “Corporatocracy” uses many Psy Ops instruments in its quest to control the population. The mechanisms include state-of-the-art propaganda, gaslighting, and “reverse” (see below) information instruments:
Misinformation: Unintentional mistakes such as inaccurate photo captions, dates, statistics, translations, or when satire is taken seriously.
Disinformation: Fabricated or deliberately manipulated audio/visual content. Intentionally created conspiracy theories or rumors.
Malinformation: Deliberate publication of private information for personal or corporate rather than public interest, such as revenge porn. Deliberate change of context, date, or time of genuine content.
Meanwhile, the same Corportocracy rails against those seeking truth. It is truly Orwellian to note that the Coportocracy uses the above information tools in its Psy Ops programs (reverse mis-dis-mal).3 We experience this with the wave of relentless Psy Ops launched daily, birthed by the planned COVID-19 event.

Conclusion
It’s important to note that the MK-Ultra program faced criticism for its unethical methods and lack of informed consent. The CIA “officially” ended the program in 1973.
Project MK-Ultra was a dark chapter in the history of American intelligence. Its unethical and harmful experiments on innocent individuals violated their fundamental human rights. Its legacy continues for those subjected to its treatments. The story of MK-Ultra serves as a warning about the dangers of unchecked government power. It highlights the importance of maintaining transparency and accountability. The actions of our intelligence agencies can amount to drastic outcomes.
Today we experience a link between MK-Ultra and Psy Ops. It is intelligence gathering and psychological warfare. These techniques have been controversial and raised ethical and moral questions. It persists in various forms as Psy Ops programs. The COVID-19, Woke, and Transhuman narratives are, without a doubt, mind control and behavioral modification instruments.
The elite and their puppets find the MK-Ultra and associated outcomes quintessential elements to usher in a New World Order. With the rise of instant communication, it is now easy to gaslight people into being semi-slaves and not even know it is occurring. It ends up with total worldwide control and power under the control of the ultra-wealthy globalists. Now you know why loving your nation is now called “nationalism”—to smear you as a Nazi.📕

This is also known as political projection. It is a psychological defense mechanism in which individuals attribute their unacceptable or controversial opinions or behaviors to others, often biased or misleading. It is commonly seen in politics, where people defend their beliefs by projecting their views onto their political opponents and accusing them of the same actions or ideas they themselves engage in. Political projection is often used to avoid accountability and deflect criticism, and it can contribute to the spread of misinformation and division in a political landscape.

The book Poisoner in Chief by Stephen Kinzer, is an important read on this subject..it’s about Dr Sidney Gottlieb, the man behind this program..there is also information in the Tom O’Neill book, Chaos, Charles Manson the CIA and the secret history of the sixties..since Richard helms and Gottlieb destroyed the complete files on Ultra and it’s sub projects, talked about by Kinzer, the complete story may never be known..the creators and managers are all dead now.. I recommend both books..
