(No, I'm not speaking about the Japanese monster fighting alien from the late '60's.)
Here is an essay on the disappearance of the MK Ultra documents that makes some excellent points. It's odd that President Trump is pushing for the decriminalization of psychedelics for medical purposes at a time when the documents about government experiments with psychedelics were taken from the political watchdog by the people who ran criminal experiments with these drugs on the American People. The timing is - interesting.
MK Ultra was real. Whitey Bulger - the crime Kingpin of Boston - was a petty hood when he was put into the MK Ultra program in prison. He came out a criminal mastermind who wiped out the Mafia (with the help of the FBI) and dominated all criminal activity in the city. (Bulger spoke in horror of what they did to him in his "training"; he was truly terrified of the "treatments".)
Then there was Ted Kaczynski, the "Unabomber", who went on a murderous rampage with explosives and who lived in a shack in the deep woods of Montana; he was at Harvard on a scholarship and one of the conditions was he participate in he MK Ultra program. Kaczunski killed three people and injured 23 with his bombs, which he mailed to people he believed had it coming - academics, business executives, etc. There were many others as Congressional investigations proved. One wonders how many monsters this program created?
There is even a suspicion that Charles Manson had been a subject in the program. If nothing else his parole officer was in the same building where they were doing MK Ultra research, a rather tantalizing clue.
For those who do not know, MK Ultra was a research program by the CIA to experiment with mind control. They used LSD and other psychedelics, as well as hypnosis and behavior modification to attempt to make the subjects believe what they wished and to do as they were conditioned. It is most likely they were trying to create sleeper agents who would commit murders or assassinations or other crimes at the behest of the CIA on command.
So it's odd that these documents would disappear, especially at this time.
