Psychological warfare is far more powerful than bullets. The government has been studying methods of brainwashing for decades. Perhaps the most infamous studies fall under the MKUltra program that the CIA conducted from 1953 to 1964 on unsuspecting victims who did not know they were participating in a brutal study. The MKUltra experiments have been shrouded in mystery after CIA director Richard Helms and longtime MKULTRA chief Sidney Gottlieb destroyed the majority of the evidence. However, newly declassified documents shed light on the extreme human rights abuses carried out by the US government.

MKULTRA began in 1953 amid the Cold War era. The US government allegedly wanted to learn mind control tactics that they believed the Soviet Union and Chinese governments had already mastered. Furthermore, the CIA was interested in the experiments carried out by Nazis on those held in concentration camps during World War II. Operation Paperclip was the prelude to MKUltra, beginning in 1945, when the CIA began investigating torture and brainwashing methods used by the Third Reich. In fact, 1,600 Nazi scientists were recruited by the US government and encouraged to continue their work on American citizens. Those scientists also looked into ways to carry out biowarfare by weaponizing the bubonic plague. There were other studies such as project Artichoke and Bluebird that took place before the CIA developed the infamous MKUltra experiment.

Richard Helms, the Assistant Deputy Director for Plans at the CIA, proposed the MKUltra project as a “special funding mechanism for highly sensitive CIA research and development projects that studied the use of biological and chemical materials in altering human behavior.” How could the government manipulate the human brain? The government wanted to find a “truth serum” to use on POW and their own citizens. CIA chemist Sidney Gottlieb partnered with pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly to produce the psychedelic drug LSD to carry out these brutal experiments.

Participants were taken from prisons, addiction facilities, juvenile detention centers, and even the US military. No one knew they were taking place in the study. The CIA provided researchers with an unlimited budget and often created fake foundations to provide TSS grants. Doctors from universities across the nation were recruited and they particularly enjoyed studying patients already in health or mental hospitals.

To manipulate human behavior, researchers fed their subjects LSD and other mind-altering drugs and attempted to reprogram their minds. They looked to pharmaceutical companies to develop additional drugs that could “promote illogical thinking, would help individuals to endure ‘privation, torture and coercion during interrogation” and attempts at “brain-washing.” The experiments often lasted for weeks on end. The National Security Archive (NSA) explains:

“’The CIA conducted terrifying experiments using drugs, hypnosis, isolation, sensory deprivation, and other extreme techniques on human subjects, often US citizens, who frequently had no idea what was being done to them or that they were part of a CIA test.

‘These records also shed light on an especially dark period in the history of the behavioral sciences in which some of the top physicians in the field conducted research and experiments usually associated with the Nazi doctors who were tried at Nuremberg.’”

Sleep depravation, electroshock treatments, radiation, and auditory harassment were among the countless tactics used during this program. There are countless tales from survivors of the horrors they experienced, but the true extent of this program is too extensive to explain here. The newly declassified documents are 1,200 pages in length and are only a fragment of the truth.

(Matthew Livelsberger's passport was found at the scene. Yet another terrorist who brought his indestructable passport along to commit a crime.)

Oddly, the first 1,000 victims were taken from US military bases. New Orleans terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar and Las Vegas bomber Matthew Livelsberger were both stationed at Fort Bragg’s military base in North Carolina. Coincidentally, they carried out their attacks back-to-back, although those who knew the men claim they had no indications that either could commit such crimes. Ryan Routh, the man who attempted to assassinate Trump on the golf course, also has ties to Fort Bragg and visited over 100 times. One could go down a deep rabbit hole looking into each individual scenario. You need not be a conspiracy theorist to admit something does not add up. Congresswoman Anna Luna Paulina is requesting information on Jabbar and Livelsberger regarding their connection to the Fort Bragg military base. Others who are not afraid to be labeled conspiracy theorists may soon begin asking questions, too.

Did anyone believe that the government simply gave up on developing methods of psychological and biological warfare? The government actively funds agencies that study biowarfare and successfully carried out perhaps the largest psyops in history with COVID and the accompanying restrictions. There are endless examples of the government carrying out experiments on large portions of the population. The terrifying part is that no one knows they are participating. This is worth taking a closer look.
