Allied Command Transformation develops the Cognitive Warfare Concept to Combat Disinformation and Defend Against “Cognitive Warfare”
NATO faces a new kind of threat: a war fought not with bombs and missiles, but with lies and manipulation. Adversaries are attempting to undermine public trust in NATO by spreading disinformation and confrontational rhetoric online. This strategy forms part of our adversaries approach to wage cognitive warfare on the Alliance, aiming to sow discord and weaken our ability to protect ourselves effectively.
To counter this threat, NATO’s Allied Command Transformation is developing the Cognitive Warfare Concept. This is a collaborative effort, with direct contribution from over 20 NATO member nations, numerous NATO commands, academia, and industry experts, represents a significant step forward in understanding and preparing NATO to compete in this constantly evolving space.
The Cognitive Warfare Concept serves a dual purpose. First, it provides a shared framework for understanding the dynamics and mechanisms of cognitive warfare. It lays out the ways adversaries exploit societal influence to manipulate public opinion, disrupt decision-making processes, and ultimately, weaken military capabilities. The concept details the potential consequences of successful cognitive attacks, highlighting the vulnerability of national audiences, political structures, and even military operations to misinformation and cognitive attacks.
Secondly, the Cognitive Warfare Concept outlines a path for NATO to enhance its cognitive resilience, and develop its capabilities to effectively compete in the cognitive dimension. This includes protecting existing military capabilities and decision-making from manipulation, while also exploring ways to strengthen public trust and understanding of NATO’s role. By proactively shaping the information environment and deterring foreign manipulation efforts, NATO can ensure its freedom of action and continue to safeguard the security of its member states.
As part of the wider Cognitive Superiority Warfare Development Imperative, the implementation of the Cognitive Warfare Concept will be a multi-pronged approach. Allied Command Transformation plans to deliver an immersive demonstration of the concept for key decision-makers, while also integrating cognitive warfare considerations into NATO’s defence planning and capability development processes. Furthermore, the concept will inform future war games and experimentation exercises, ensuring that NATO’s military forces remain prepared to operate effectively in an environment increasingly influenced by information warfare and disinformation campaigns. Finally, Allied Command Transformation will provide valuable military advice on the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence, a technology that holds both immense potential and inherent risks in the cognitive domain.
By taking these proactive steps, NATO demonstrates its commitment to safeguarding the rules-based international order and ensuring the continued security and well-being of its member states in the face of an evolving and complex threat landscape.

MK-ULTRAViolence
Or, how McGill pioneered psychological torture
Imagine being trapped in a small room. Your hands covered in gloves, your sight blocked by translucent glasses, and your head covered by a pillow. You cannot touch, taste, see, smell, or feel. You are totally deprived of your senses. This is the imagery of torture in foreign wars, of espionage blockbusters, of terrible nightmares. It seems hardly something that would occur in Montreal. But it did occur, right here at McGill.
Today, many journalists, doctors, and the general public see the Allan Memorial Institute in Royal Victoria Hospital as the cradle of modern torture, a cradle built and rocked by Scottish-born Dr. Donald Ewen Cameron. To the patients of Dr. Ewen Cameron, our university was the site of months of seemingly unending torture disguised as medical experimentation –– an experimentation that destroyed their lives and changed the course of psychological torture forever.
Cameron’s experiments, known as MK-ULTRA subproject 68, were partially funded by the CIA and the Canadian government, and are widely known for their use of LSD, barbiturates, and amphetamines on patients. In the media, they were known as the “mind control” studies done at McGill and were reported as a brainwashing conspiracy from the CIA and the Canadian government. For journalists, the story was a goldmine. LSD use in a CIA experiment was an angle no sensationalist media could reject, especially in the anti-drug frenzy of the 1960s. However, these studies were much more complex than a Timothy Leary scare in la belle ville.
At its worst, the prolonged periods of sensory deprivation and induced sleep used in the experiments left many patients in a child-like mental state, even years after the experiments were finalized. Even today, remnants of Cameron’s experiments at the Allan Memorial appear in torture methods at places like Guantanamo Bay.
In the 1980s, the CIA and State Department launched a public counterattack on the Canadian government for questioning the propriety of CIA activities. The CIA effectively converted the Canadian government into an active and hostile opponent.
In press briefings, interviews and Court pleadings, the CIA hammered away at one theme - Canada funded Cameron too. Legally, this was irrelevant, but politically, it was devastating. As one U.S. Attorney said, "We're going to wrap the Canadian Government financing of Cameron right around their necks."
This steady counterattack left the Canadian government completely cowed, apparently a fairly easy thing for the U.S. to accomplish. To turn off the public heat for supporting our case, the Mulroney government commissioned an "independent study" by a former Tory M.P., John Cooper. The result was neither independent nor a study, but a several hundred page brief concluding Canada was blameless, and CIA involvement was "a red herring."
The "Cooper Report" was compiled and written by Canadian Justice Department lawyers, whose job was to defend Canada against claims of liability based on its involvement with Cameron. A more clear conflict of interest is difficult to imagine. No Canadian Bar disciplinary committee has investigated the lawyers who did it.
The "Cooper Report" asserted that Cameron had done nothing wrong. Without interviewing any of our clients or reviewing their medical records, the report announced there was probably little if any lasting harm to the victims. The report reproduced the CIA's principal defenses, now as the "independent" conclusions of an official Canadian government investigation. The "Cooper Report" was a complete whitewash.
What once had appeared to be our strongest potential ally, threatening even to take the U.S. to the International Court of Justice at the Hague, now sought to exonerate the CIA in every conceivable way possible. The Canadian government did such a good job for the CIA that the "Cooper Report" became the first exhibit in the CIA's final effort to defeat our case through a motion for summary judgment. In addition, the same psychiatrists who the Canadian government had retained to ratify the Cooper whitewash were the CIA's expert witnesses. Canada completed the legwork that an associate in a good law firm usually does for a senior partner.
Dr. Ewen Cameron was a member of the Nuremberg tribunal (1945). He examined and diagnosed Rudolf Hess, Hitler's devoted "deputy Fuhrer" responsible for Nazi party matters, saying that he was insane, thus helping to save Hess' life. In 1961, Cameron became president of the World Psychiatric Association, which was riddled with Nazi psychiatrists and apologists. Cameron's mind control experiments violated the Nuremberg Code for medical ethics.

Trudeau government gag order in CIA brainwashing case silences victims
Daughter of survivor of brutal experiments ‘nervous’ to speak out after non-disclosure demand
Forty years after revelations that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency funded brainwashing experiments on unsuspecting Canadians, the Trudeau government is continuing a pattern of silencing the victims, a lawyer for one of the families says.
A recent Department of Justice gag order in an out-of-court settlement was designed to avoid responsibility and avert compensation to more victims and their families, said Alan Stein, who has represented numerous survivors who were once patients at the Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal.
Stein told CBC News that successive federal governments have demanded confidentiality agreements in at least five of the cases he has settled in the last few decades.
