MK Ultra: Declassified CIA files reveal truth behind bizarre mind control experiment
CIA expert John Greenewald claims to have discovered the shocking truth behind the agency’s illicit MK Ultra mind control experiment. Using the Freedom of Information act, he believes he has discovered how the US intelligence services experimented on both humans and animals using drugs and hypnosis for the top secret project.
MK Ultra was the code name for a top-secret programme of human experiments, believed to have been carried out by the CIA from the early 1950s.
The project, which was officially halted in 1973, aimed to identify and develop mind-control drugs and procedures to be used in interrogations and torture in a bid to force confessions and control behaviour.
The CIA admitted to running the covert operation during congressional hearings in the 1970s, but claimed all records relating to it had been destroyed.
But last year, Mr Greenewald got his hands on 30,000 files - purely because “they were filed accidentally as financial records”, the expert said.
He claims one document revealed how the CIA planned to drug “criminals awaiting trial held in a prison hospital ward” in a bid to develop “improved techniques in drug interrogation”.
