Project MK-ULTRA, was the code name for a covert CIA mind-control and chemical interrogation research program. The program began in the early 1950s, developing out of previous projects MK-DELTA and Project PAPERCLIP. It continued at least through the late 1960s, using military personnel and civilians alike as its test subjects. Evidence indicates that Project MK-ULTRA involved the surreptitious use of many types of drugs, as well as other methods, to manipulate individual mental states and to alter brain function.
The applications of the MK-ULTRA results vary according to who you believe. Some suggest that as part of Project TALENT they were used to create supersoldiers for the US and other countries. Some suggest they were deployed on the general population in the attempt to manipulate social movements and retain control, including “fluoridation” of drinking water and other government controlled food regulation programmes. Either way, the experiments which resulted in LSD and Mescaline becoming available to the general population were controlled tightly, and information about MK-ULTRA and its true purpose has been deliberately destroyed or falsified in order to hide the truth.
