i will assume that you, the reader has some grasp of what the CIA (central intelligence agency) is. on this page, i will list operations and experiments conducted by the agency. i will add entries which i have done thorough research on, and list them in alpabetical order. there are many that may make you feel a bit paranoid, and some that may get a giggle out of you. everything on this page is fact, unless stated otherwise by me. contact me for inquiries, or to suggest things for me to look into.
in the early days of the cold war, inspired by the experiments conducted by the nazis at Auschwitz and Dachau, where mescaline and electric shocks were used on prisoners to study the effects on the brain, the cia initiated mkultra. they suspected that the Soviets had invented a mind control drug, and therefore felt that it was urgent to come up with one of their own. in a report on human radiation experiments, one can read that the cia were also influenced by mind control that US prisoners of war had been subjected to by the Soviets, Chinese and North Koreans during the Korea war. i have been unable to find a source to back up that these instances of mind control actually took place, but i will update this should i find something of note. the goal of this operation was to achieve complete control over a person's mind, and thus the ability to influence their opinions and desicions. this was to be used during interrogations. another purpose was to manipulate the leaders of foreign countries, in other words to create a puppet, also known as a Manchurian Candidate.
the operation consisted of more than 150 subprojects, for example subproject 54, "Perfect Concussion", which was ran by the Navy. in this project, sub-aural frequencies were used in an attempt to erase a person's memories. $240,000 worth of lsd was purchased and spread out between institutions such as prisons, hospitals and cia black sites.
