Only way for Ukrainian frontline troops to stay alive is surrender – former US Army officer

The capture of Konstantinovka allows Russia to envelop the last major Ukrainian stronghold in Donbass, Stanislav Krapivnik has said

(No one is paying attention to the victories Russia has had, and what it means to Ukraine and the EU!)

The liberation of the city of Konstantinovka gives Russia an opportunity to envelop the last heavily fortified area under Ukrainian control in Donbass, former US Army officer and military commentator Stanislav Krapivnik has said.

Moscow announced the liberation of the city on Friday after weeks of intensive combat in the area. Konstantinovka is located at the southernmost tip of the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration, a string of cities in the northwest of Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR),which Ukrainian troops have turned into a single, heavily fortified fortress, riddled with a vast system of reinforced trenches, tunnels, and bunkers. The city lies some 15km southeast of Kramatorsk, with the small town of Druzhkovka located in between.

Gaining control of Konstantinovka opens new opportunities for Moscow to advance on the last Ukrainian stronghold in Donbass, Krapivnik told RT on Saturday.

“The last portion of the Ukrainian fortifications, real hard fortifications that have been prepared since 2014, is between Druzhkovka and Slavyansk…with Konstantinovka being the linchpin at the bottom of this wall,” he said.

“This isvery important becausethis also allows Russian forces to go around Druzhkovka and Kramatorsk and start to hit them in a double envelopment,” he added.

The situation for Ukrainian frontline troops in the area appears to be dire, with both attempts to hold their positions and efforts to retreat likely to result in heavy losses due to “Russian drone dominance, Russian artillery, and Russian aviation,” Krapivnik believes.

“At this point, the only way they’re coming out of this alive is to surrender. Once they’re spotted,they either stay in place and get destroyed or they run and get destroyed,”he said.

Trump calls Putin on US Independence Day

The US and Russian leaders spoke for nearly 1.5 hourson the 250th anniversary of American independence, according to Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov

Published 4 Jul, 2026 21:23 |

US PresidentDonald Trump calledhis Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to discuss the Ukraine conflict, the situation around Iran,and the prospects for restoring bilateral ties, Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov has said.

The conversation took place on Saturday, as the United States marked the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. According to Ushakov,Putin personally congratulated Trump and the American people on reaching the milestone, after sending a formal message to the White House a day earlier.

The calllasted one hour and 25 minutes, Ushakov said, describing it as “businesslike and highly constructive.”

Ukraine conflict

Putin briefed Trump on what Ushakov described as the real situation on the ground in Ukraine, sayingRussian forces were advancing along the entire line of contact and taking “one settlement after another.”

The two leaders also discussed the situation around Iran, where a public farewell ceremony is being held for slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Putin expressed hope that the negotiation processbased on the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran would help produce mutually acceptable, long-term solutions to key issues, Ushakov said.

The Russian president alsoreaffirmed Moscow’s readinessto provide practical assistance to efforts aimed at de-escalation and stabilizing the region.

Trump thanked Russia for what he described as its balanced position and constructive proposals, according to the Kremlin aide.

Bilateral ties

Turning to bilateral ties, the presidents emphasized the importance of continuing contacts, including with regards to military-political and economic issues.

The leaders also pointed to the upcoming launch of a joint Russian-American crew to the International Space Stationfrom the Baikonur Cosmodrome as a symbolic example of cooperation between the two powers.

The two presidents stressed the importance of preserving the shared pages of Russian-American history. Putin reminded Trump of Russia’s contribution to the emergence of American statehood, while both leaders highlighted the alliance between Moscow and Washington during World War II.

Trump mentioned that he personally admires St. Petersburg’s Hermitage Museum, while Putin wished the US success in hosting the ongoing FIFA World Cup, citing Russia’s own experience as host in 2018.

What’s next?

According to Ushakov,Moscow initiated the previous phone call on June 14, Trump’s 80th birthday, while this time it was the American side that proposed speaking on the day of the 250th anniversary of US independence.

The presidents agreed to remain in contact and hold another call in the near future, according to Ushakov.Putin also reminded Trump that he has a standing invitation to visit Moscow.

Russia repels major Ukrainian long-range attack – MOD

Over 500 targets, including cruise missiles, were downed overnight by Russian anti-aircraft defenses

Published 4 Jul, 2026 14:44 |

Russian forces have repelled a Ukrainian long-range combined drone and missile attack, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said.

During the assault, anti-aircraft defenses downed over 500 targets,mainly long-range kamikaze drones, the ministry said in a statement on Saturday. It added that the military destroyed 10 FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles and at least nine munitions fired by US-made HIMARS systems.

The ministry described theattack as a foiled attempt by Kiev to divert the attentionof its Western sponsors and common Ukrainians from large-scale Russian strikes earlier this week, as well as from the loss of Konstantinovka, a major city in northwestern Donbass.

Moscow announced the liberation of the city on Friday following weeks of intensive combat in the area. Konstantinovka is located at the southernmost tip of the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration, a string of cities in the northwest of Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR). The agglomeration has been turned into a fortress by Kiev’s forcesand remains the last major stronghold under Ukrainian control in the region. The city itself is located some 15 km southeast of Kramatorsk, with the small town of Druzhkovka lying in between.

The Russian long-range attack mentioned by the ministry occurred on Thursday night and wasprimarily focused on the Ukrainian capital. The authorities in Kiev described it as the largest-scale strike on the city since the conflict escalated in 2022. The targets listed by the Russian Defense Ministry included multiple plants producing missiles and drones, facilities manufacturing electronic warfare implements and components of other military hardware, a large fuel depot, and several gas facilities used to supply power to defense industry sites.

In June alone, the Russian anti-aircraft defenses intercepted around 13,000 incoming aerial targetsover the country’s territory, the ministry said. “The production and launch support for these targets was handled by military departments and specialists from most European countries, including the UK, as well as other sponsors of the Kiev regime,” the ministry said, warning that any further attempts by Kiev to harm the Russian civilians will continue to invoke “appropriate retaliatory actions” by the country’s military.

(Anon read carefully what Medvedev is saying, it seems like code embedded in the message. I might be crazy but he is not normally indirect with his statements)

US had no reason to attack Iran – Medvedev

Russia’s ex-president went to Tehran to pay his last respects to late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

Published 4 Jul, 2026 15:25 | Updated

(Russia’s allies that are hardliners, are the reason why they send Medvedev to show up and spout his anger at the US. He is their diplomat to radical countries!)

The US-Israeli attack on Iran earlier this year was completely unprovoked, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has stated on his way back from the Islamic Republic. The deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council attended the funeral ceremony for Iran’s late supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in Tehran on Friday.

The 86-year-old was assassinated, along with several members of his family, on February 28 during the first wave of US-Israeli airstrikes on Iran.

Speaking to Russian journalists as he flew back to Russia on Saturday,Medvedev said that “there was no serious reason for the American attack… [as] Iran posed no threat to the United States.”

The Russian official noted that Tehran was engaged in negotiations with Washington at the time US President Donald Trump ordered the attack. This fact, according to Medvedev, points to the erosion of international law.

The killing of the Iranian leadership, as well as a large number of civilians, including school children, “does no credit to those who made such decisions,” the deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council said. (Hmm Medvedev did not name the US as bombing the school, he said “those who made those decisions”, does he know who actually did it and it was not the US, or is saying the President didn’t give the order? He’s very obtuse in these statements, not giving names. Does he know who did this and will not name them.?)

He also recounted that before hostilities began in late February,Russian President Vladimir Putin had proposed a roadmap aimed at peacefully resolving the issue of Iran’s nuclear program. The US and Israel cited the latter as one of the pretexts for military action against the Islamic Republic.

“I think Iran surmounted this toughest of ordeals with dignity,” Medvedev observed, saying that even though some parts of Tehran still lie in ruins, life in the Iranian capital has largely returned to normal.

He told Russian reporters that during the course of the conflict, theIslamic Republic realized that it possesses a deterrent on par with nuclear weapons – namely the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s energy shipments passed before the conflict began. Global crude prices soared to as high as $120 a barrel after Tehran imposed its blockade.

In the event of renewed aggression, Iran could similarly block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, Medvedev suggested. The vital chokepoint that connects the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden is another important waterway for Middle Eastern oil exports. (Did Medvedev give the US the next choke point in the war by Iran? Was it intentional?)

Referring to Western sanctions imposed on both Moscow and Tehran, the ex-Russian president dismissed them as “illegal unilateral restrictions” that are in breach of international law. (Which is the same thing Iran and Russia is doing. Why is he mentioning Russia in the sanctions?)

https://www.rt.com/russia/642582-us-had-no-reason-attack-iran-ex-russian-president/

What do you think anons, Medvedev is normally radically straightforward and he’s not being that in these statements. Did Trump and Putin recommend a different approach for Medvedev in dealing with Iran at this point. This is not the speech of straightforward Medvedev usually.)

>>24793527

The killing of the Iranian leadership, as well as a large number of civilians, including school children, “does no credit to those who made such decisions,” the deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council said.

I think Medvedev is saying the USdid not bomb the schoolbut Israel did.His statement now makes sense why he didn’t name the US, but “those who made the decision, does not credit them”

I can’t post the fire video from RT but there are lots of videos from April of 2026 showing the fires still flaring up

Fire tornado rages in Chernobyl exclusion zone (VIDEO)

The area around the Nuclear Power Plant was contaminated by radiation during the 1986 disaster

Published 4 Jul, 2026 06:05

Holy Shit!

The Ukrainian Emergencies Ministry has published footage of its rescuers fleeing from a large fire whirl in the Chernobyl exclusion zone.

The agency has been tacklingblazes near the defunct Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plantsince last week, but have so far beenunable to contain the fire.

The 30 km (19 mile) radius exclusion zone was set up around the plant after the 1986 nuclear disaster. The mostly-forested area of 2,600 km² (1,000 square miles)remains closed to the public due to being heavily contaminated with radiation.

The clip, which was uploaded by the ministry on its Telegram channel on Friday,captured the formation of a large fire devil that quickly started moving towards the firefighters, forcing them to jump into their vehicles and retreat.

“A Fire tornado: wind, dust and flames merge into one destructive force.That’s exactly how the blazes, which parts of the Kiev Region are constantly fighting in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, look,” the post read.

Satellites have recorded large plumes of polluted air with increased levels of carbon monoxide extending 170 km from the epicenter of the fire in the exclusion zone. Chernobyl is located around 94 km (60 miles) north of the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, near the border with Belarus.

Putin issues warning to Kiev and its ‘instigators’ (VIDEO)

The president said Russia will win and protect its citizens from Western-instigated Ukrainian terrorist strikes

Published 3 Jul, 2026 21:32 |

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said Moscow will do “everything necessary” to protect Russia’s civilians and infrastructure,warning Kiev that its terrorist attacks will only result in a deeper security zone along the border– and cautioning Ukraine’s sponsors about possible “big decisions” in the future.

The commander-in-chief visited an auxiliary command post alongside top military commanders and Defense Ministry officials on Friday, wherehe was briefed on the advance of the Russian army in Donbass,including the liberation of Konstantinovka, which had been one of Kiev’s key strongholds.

Putin expressed confidence that Russia would win no matter what, after one of the commanders told him that “victory will be ours.” He noted that the commanders of the Russian armed forces “must act rhythmically and rationally, doing everything necessary to preserve the lives of our soldiers and ensure the unconditional fulfillment of combat tasks.”

“The boastful statements of the leaders of the Kiev regime about successes are essentially in our favor,” Putin added, noting that “their actions and statements undoubtedly disorganize both themselves and their sponsors.”

However, to prop up their “fictitious successes on the battlefield” and “bolster their legends and lies,” theKiev may take certain actions of a “diversionary-terrorist nature,”he warned.

Putin also accused Kiev and the “so-called European pseudo-peacekeepers” of confirming Moscow’s assumptions about their true intentions, arguing thattheir goal is “not peace, but the continuation of the war with Russia to the last Ukrainian.”

The president wondered whether Kiev’s European backers were now openly encouraging strikes on Russian civilians, after praising its “innovative” use of drone technologies in a joint Nordic-Baltic Eight (NB8) declaration in early June.

“Does this mean they also have in mind strikes on our civilian sites, civilian infrastructure, transport carrying civilians and children, and student dormitories?”Putin said.

Putin said Russia would respond accordingly and ordered the military to continue massed andgroup strikes on Ukraine’s military-industrial infrastructure and facilities supporting its operation.

The more strikes the opponent attempts to deliver against our civilian sites…the larger the safety zone we will have to create in the adjacent territory.

Moreover, this territory, like the others we are discussing today,is also historically Russian land,” Putin warned.

The Russian president also issued a veiled warning to Kiev’s NATO backers and “instigators of war,”ordering the military toanalyze their direct involvement in combat actions on the ground.

“This analysis is necessary for us to make possible big decisions in the future,” Putin stated.

‘Crimes against humanity’: The CIA’s sickest secret may finally be exposed 1/4

New MKULTRA hearings have reopened questions about victims, destroyed files, and experiments America never answered for

Published 5 Jul, 2026 15:44 |

A decorated US Air Force serviceman with no history of violence suddenly abducted, raped and murdered a three-year-old girl.

When a search party found Jimmy Shaver wandering near San Antonio, Texas,he appeared to be in a trance, unable to explain where he was or how he had gotten there. After his arrest, he reportedly failed to recognize his own wife when she visited him in jail. Until the moment he was executedfour years later, Shaver insisted he had no memory of committing the crime for which he had been sentenced to death.

More than seventy years later, some researchers believe his casemay have been linked to one of the CIA’s darkest Cold War programs: MKULTRA, the covert project that sought to manipulate, erase and ultimately control the human mindthrough drugs, hypnosis and psychological experimentation.

That possibility returned to the spotlight on June 30, when the US Congressional Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets reopened one of the intelligence agency’s most notorious chapters. Lawmakers pledged to uncover the truth behind MKULTRA, the illegal human experimentation program through which the CIA developed and tested psychotropic drugs and interrogation techniques designed to alter behavior, memories and perception.

Whether the hearing lived up to those promises is another question. But the testimony presented before Congress suggested that,more than sixty years after MKULTRA officially ended, many of the program’s darkest secrets may still remain hidden.

Congress promises – again

Task force chair Anna Paulina Luna left little doubt about the gravity of the allegations.

“Administering drugs to people without their consent. Subjecting humans to psychological torture. Using prisoners and hospital patients as non-consenting research subjects.These are crimes against humanity. Some of the worst, most notorious crimes of the 20th century,” she declared in her opening remarks.

“The American people deserve the complete record. The victims and their families deserve acknowledgement, accountability, and justice.No one went to prison. No one was ever compensated by the government for the harm they caused.”

The language was uncompromising.Yet it was also strikingly familiar.

Nearly half a century ago, Congress opened another investigation into MKULTRA, promising victims that the full truth would finally emerge and that those responsible would be held accountable.Those commitments quietly faded away. The victims were never fully identified, compensation never came, and many of the program’s records were presumed lost forever.

Tom O’Neill, author of CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties, reminded lawmakers that they were retracing a path Congress had already walked once before.

“During those same hearings, committee members like yourselves promised the victims of MKULTRA would be identified, compensated and provided lifetime medical care,” he told the panel.“None of that ever happened.”

According to O’Neill, lawmakers in the 1970s accepted one of the CIA’s most consequential claims with remarkably little scrutiny:that after more than two decades of secret experimentation, the agency had simply failed to master mind control.

CIA officials repeatedly insisted that “their twenty-five-year effort to learn how to control the human mind had been a colossal failure.”

>>24793856

2/4

O’Neill believes that conclusion deserves to be revisited.

For years, he has argued that the historical record tells a very different story – one that Congress never fully examined andthat may have been deliberately obscured by the destruction of key evidence•=. To make that case, he turned not to speculation, but to documents exchanged between two of the central figures behind the CIA’s most secretive experiments.==

The blueprint for mind control

To support his argument that Congress never uncovered the full scope of MKULTRA, O’Neill pointed to a cache of correspondence that, in his view,fundamentally changes our understanding of the program.

The letters were exchanged between psychiatrist Louis Jolyon West, who “sought to control the minds of people without their knowledge,with the ultimate goal of creating programmed killers” and “Sherman Grifford” – the pseudonym used bySidney Gottlieb, the CIA’s chief poisoner who designed and oversaw MKULTRA from its earliest days. Far from describing a failed scientific curiosity,O’Neill argued, the documents laid out an extraordinarily ambitious blueprint for manipulating the human mind.

The opening letter, written by West in 1953, “outlined the objectives, methods and intended outcomes of experiments he hoped to conduct on unwitting human subjects.”

“It reads like a page torn from the research notebook of Josef Mengele,”

O’Neill told lawmakers, comparing the proposals to the infamous Nazi doctor’s experiments at Auschwitz.

According to the correspondence, West proposed conducting experiments on “unwilling subjects,” including members of the military, psychiatric patients, prisoners of civilian jails, and “special subjects” identified by the CIA.

His methods ranged from administering psychedelic drugs, including LSD, to combining them with hypnosis in an effort to induce trance states, confusion, amnesia and other artificially created psychological conditions.

The ultimate objective extended far beyond studying human behavior.

West envisioned techniques that could extract information from unwilling subjects, implant false memories and alter the beliefs, attitudes and loyalties ofindividuals who had previously remained resistant to interrogation or manipulation.

The blueprint also revealedhow carefully the operation was designed to remain invisible. Funding would be disguised, institutional links concealed and even many of West’s scientific and military colleagues kept unaware of the true nature of the research.

According to O’Neill, Gottlieb responded enthusiastically.

If the correspondence accurately reflected the CIA’s ambitions,it suggested that MKULTRA was never merely a loose collection of bizarre experiments. It was anorganized effort to develop practical methods of psychological control while shielding the entire enterprise from public scrutiny.

The case that should never have happened

For O’Neill, Jimmy Shaver’s aforementioned case illustrates those ambitions more vividly than any surviving document.

An extraordinary crime unfolded just one year after Gottlieb approved West’s proposals.Before the murder, Shaver had been undergoing experimental treatment for severe migraines at the Air Force hospitalwhere West headed psychiatric services.

West himself later appeared as the court-appointed psychiatric expert during the proceedings.

Shaver was convicted and sentenced to death. Until his execution in 1958, however, he maintained that he had absolutely no memory of committing the crime for which he had been condemned.

O’Neill does not present the case as definitive proof of CIA mind control. Rather, he argues that the extraordinary overlap between Shaver’s unexplained behavior, his treatment under West’s supervision and the psychiatrist’s own proposals for inducing amnesia and altered mental states demands far closer scrutiny than it has ever received.

https://www.rt.com/news/642511-crimes-against-humanity-cia-mkultra/

>>24793862

3/4

For him, the case raises the same uncomfortable possibility that has shadowed MKULTRA for decades:that some of the program’s most consequential experiments may never have been acknowledged, let alone investigated.

That is precisely why, O’Neill concluded, Congress should resist accepting the historical record at face value.

“Nearly fifty years ago, another committee investigating MKULTRA believed it had been told the truth about the program,” he told lawmakers. “It had not.”

Instead, he urged the task force to undertake “a thorough reexamination of what this program accomplished,what Congress was told, and what may still remain hidden.”

A trail deliberately erased

If O’Neill challenged Congress to reconsider what MKULTRA achieved, journalist and historian Stephen Kinzer focused on a different question:why so much of the program remains unknowable.

Kinzer is author of Poisoner in Chief, widely regarded as the definitive biography of Sidney Gottlieb.He told lawmakers that even after years of research, he believes only a fraction of the story has been uncovered.

“I am painfully aware that I have discovered only a small portion of what Gottlieb did and what MKULTRA was,” he said. At the heart of the project, Kinzer argued,was an ambition far more radical than simply improving interrogation techniques.

In its quest to “implant a new mind into someone’s brain,”the CIA first sought to “destroy the mind that was there already.” To pursue that objective, MKULTRA experiments spread across prisons, psychiatric hospitals, universities, brothels and CIA safe houses. By any modern standard, Kinzer argued,many of those experiments amounted to medical torture.

The victims, he noted, occupied a special category inside the CIA.“They were called expendables,” Kinzer said – “human beings who would not be missed if they disappeared.”

According to Kinzer,Gottlieb effectively operated with “what amounted to a license to kill.” Even today, no one knows how many people were subjected to MKULTRA experiments, nor how many died as a result.

Yet Kinzer argued that focusingsolely on Gottlieb risks misunderstanding how the program actually functioned.

The CIA’s senior leadership, he said, deliberately gave Gottlieb extraordinary freedom while maintaining enough distance to later deny institutional responsibility.

“This was a way for the CIA to deny its institutional role in MKULTRA,” Kinzer argued, “and to portray it misleadingly as the product of one man’s sadism or excessive zeal.”

If that strategy succeeded, it was only because another decision made the historical record even harder to reconstruct.

As public scrutiny intensified during the 1970s,Gottlieb and his superior, CIA Director Richard Helms, ordered virtually all MKULTRA files destroyed.

For decades, that decision has been treated as the moment the trail went cold.

Kinzer believes it did not.

https://www.rt.com/news/642511-crimes-against-humanity-cia-mkultra/

>>24793865

4/4

Despite the destruction order,thousands of previously overlooked MKULTRA documents were later discovered hidden among the CIA’s financial records by an agency analyst.

“That same diligence could bring results today,” he told lawmakers.

For Kinzer, the surviving files suggest that historians maystill know only a fraction of what remains buried inside the agency’s vast archives.

The death that still haunts MKULTRA

If Congress decides to press further, Kinzer suggested, one of the first places to begin would be themysterious death of Frank Olson.

Officially, Olson was an Army scientist who committed suicide by jumping from the window of a New York hotel in November 1953.

In reality, Kinzer reminded lawmakers,Olson was secretly working for the CIA and had become deeply involved in MKULTRA. Shortly before his death, Olson had reportedly expressed growing moral reservationsabout the program and indicated that he wanted to leave it. His death has remained controversial ever since. “Evidence suggests that his death may not have been a suicide,” Kinzer said.

If undisclosed CIA records still exist, he argued, they could finally clarify one of the agency’s most enduring Cold War mysteries.

But Olson’s case is important for another reason. Rather than viewing it solely as an unresolved historical episode, Kinzer urged lawmakers to ask a broader – and potentially more unsettling – question.

Was MKULTRA truly buried with the Cold War?

Or did it simply evolve into something else?

Did MKULTRA really end?

MKULTRA officially came to an end in 1963, after years of secret experimentation failed to produce the breakthrough its architects had sought.

Sidney Gottlieb himself ultimately concluded that “there is no such thing as mind control.”

Kinzer does not dismiss that assessment. Instead, he argues that it reflected the technological limits of its time. “Even if he was right,” Kinzer told lawmakers, “he may have been right only at that time.”

Since MKULTRA’s closure, neuroscience, cyber technology and artificial intelligence have advanced in ways Gottlieb could scarcely have imagined.

Those developments, Kinzer argued, raise an uncomfortable possibility. Rather than asking only what MKULTRA accomplished during the Cold War,Congress should also consider whether the technologies available to intelligence agencies today have reopened questions the CIA failed to answer decades ago.

“Covert agencies may have access to tools for mind control that Sidney Gottlieb could not have imagined,” Kinzer warned.

He urged the task force to consider whether “some new incarnation of MKULTRA exists today.”

For Kinzer, revisiting the history of the program is therefore about more than establishing the historical record.

“It has a chance to connect the past to the future,” he said. “It could help prevent the emergence of a 21st-century MKULTRA that could be even more destructive than the original.”

One last chance

Whether Congress succeeds where previous investigations failed remains an open question.

Chair Anna Paulina Luna closed the hearing by arguing thatlawmakers have “a constitutional obligation to ensure the CIA never does this again.”

She also revealed that she had recently visited CIA headquarters in Langley,where officials told her previously unseen MKULTRA records are currently being prepared for declassification.

That disclosure may prove to be the hearing’s most significant outcome.

Nearly fifty years ago, Congress also promised victims and their families that the full truth about MKULTRA would finally come to light.Those promises were never fulfilled.

Today’s task force has pledged to finish what its predecessors began. (These lawmakers need technological equipment and protection wherever they go and do, they need scientists protecting them at all times, there’s no guarantees those advising them are truthful and a danger to them.)

Whether it succeeds may ultimately depend on a simple question: how much of the story still remains locked inside the CIA’s archives.
