Interesting how the article turns a story of mass torture and killings akin to nazy mad-science into a story about one individual murder. Makes one wonder why would a state research mind control from drugs, when mind control from history books and newspapers is already so efficient.
They were researching mind control to extract information from individual subjects. (Because torture doesn't work) It has nothing to do with propaganda.

But it's far easier to think up drugs that have caused untold human misery, and do so much more reliably. Every human who takes these drugs will suffer through the misery. No such thing as "I'm too strong to be affected by this drug." (heroin, crystal meth.) Or "I can quit whenever I want." (opium, flakka.) Or, "My neighborhood, or community, or nation won't fall into ruin because of this drug." (China with opium, bl…
> Every human who takes these drugs will suffer through the misery. Blatantly false. Not everyone you uses XYZ drug ends up a hopeless addict. The vast majority of people use the drug with no long term negative effects addiction, including methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine et al > No such thing as "I'm too strong to be affected by this drug." (heroin, crystal meth.) Sure they will effect you > Or "I can quit whenever…
Two other LSD targets of the CIA's program weren't mentioned in this excerpt. You've probably heard of them: Ted Kaczynski Charles Manson It is possible that neither would have committed their crimes but for their involvement in the CIA's mind experimentation programs. See, O'Neill, Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA and the Secret History of the Sixties (2019).
Interesting that psychedelics are being pushed by elites via popular media like Joe Rogan, etc.

In one hand, of course all those story fragments are alarming and revolting. On the other hand, each time such a thing surfaces the most surprising is always that it seems to have surfaced due to this automatic declassification mechanism that I've never heard of an equivalent anywhere else in the world. In most places, including many modern and wealthy democracies, I believe you would just expose yourself to troubles…
could you point me to how this story was exposed through declassification?

Maybe mind control from history books or whatever is not as efficient as you're thinking it is? Just speculating that if I was a military commander, yeah, I'd go for saturating a place with drugs to keep the people there from planting IED's way before I would trust history books to do so. Just strikes me as way more reliable. If history is any indication, using history books to get people to behave decently doesn't s…
This observation alone leads me to believe that there is some very effective propaganda that's been going on for a good while.
Impossible to find out for sure of course, as the only propaganda that is visible is the propaganda that fails.

I wonder if there is even anything one could do in that kind of situation to have a normal life. Edit: I also think this kind of thing exists in society today, but probably bought and sold on exclusive markets to modern lords and ladies.
Wait, what?

If someone shared outright that they'd had similar experiences, few people would believe them.
Can you elaborate? I don't know what you're referring to.
Look who we find in the vanguard, defending the darkest secrets of government; Dick Cheney.
Interesting that it doesn't mention Errol Morris' Wormwood: https://www.indiewire.com/2018/05/wormwood-errol-morris-use-...
I recall distinctly this being called a conspiracy theory years ago.
