#Mind Control

Before MKUltra, CIA programs BLUEBIRD and ARTICHOKE explored interrogation, hypnosis, and drugs aimed at controlling behavior; declassified memos on "special interrogations" form the documentary core.

Under MKUltra subprojects, CIA contractors ran San Francisco and New York safehouses where sex workers lured men for surreptitious LSD dosing and observation—practices flagged in Agency Inspector General material and later FOIA.

CIA MKUltra Subproject 68 funded behavioral research at Montreal’s Allan Memorial Institute under Ewen Cameron through the Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology. FOIA abstracts and the 1977 Senate joint hearing document the subproject’s verbal-signal and chemical-agent framing after partial MKUltra file destruction.

In 1950 the CIA launched Project BLUEBIRD to study interrogation and behavioral control; declassified files show it as a direct predecessor to ARTICHOKE and MKUltra.

For years, people whispered that the U.S. government was kidnapping or secretly using citizens to experiment with mind control, brainwashing, and psychological torture.

The CIA Astro-Projection Study. The CIA secretly investigated whether humans could transcend time, space, and the physical body through altered states of consciousness.

The legend says the US Navy accidentally teleported a battleship and drove its crew insane. The reality is almost as strange: they were trying to make ships invisible to magnetic mines.
