This documentary on MK ULTRA may have been posted previously, but I just found it on youtube. It is pretty harrowing, specifically the cold blooded psychopathic behavior of the CIA and its contracted doctors.

This is an ABC news report - MK Ultra came out during the Church hearings of the 1970's. It's certainly not "creative speculation".

This isn't about the possibility of mind control, it is about the attempts at mind control.
I will be very disappointed if this gets sent to C.S..

(53,661 posts)Apparently, the doctors, agencies or corporations who did these things thought it was. Their research, like the disgraced psychologists who used their expertise on prisoners in the last decade despite the censor of others, are still running loose.
Those who allowed the Tuskogee experiment, who exposed servicement to nuclear test blasts, atrocities in Japan, Germany and elsewhere, still have their papers circulated as if they were worthwhile. How should the human race regard any living thing within their power to help or harm?
Will we keep on setting human rights and environmental justice aside in the interest of science and industry? What is the goal? Is it a worthy goal?
This has been going on for a very long time, much longer than the existance of this nation. We'd better think long and hard about the intentions of those who do this kind of work, even in the most benign applications. The for-profit health care system hasn't even been handled in a just and humane manner, and those are the 'good guys.'
TIme for a morals and ethics review of our world.. or maybe just a lot of training in empathy.

(5,105 posts)I believe the "mind control" unit is still active, and producing many who are unconcerned with their own interests, ie, republican voters.
I would not be surprised to hear fox noise was an unfortunate result of these experiments.
