MKULTRA

 

Sub-projects investigated hypnosis, neurosurgery, electroshock, torture, sexual blackmail, stage magic, and poison, but their primary interest was psychoactive drugs

 

When MKULTRA operative Morse Allen studied hypnosis, he found that he could not persuade people to do things against their will. Subjects in a trance would refuse to shoot their friends. However, Allen found that he could circumvent resistance by convincing people that the friend was actually a deadly enemy. He had to change their perception of reality—create what he called a "pseudo-reality"—and then let them act naturally. If he could create the right reality, he could manipulate people into doing almost anything.

 

Controlling perception facilitates control of actions, and the CIA developed projects designed to control perception on many scales.

>Projects ranged from dosing individuals with LSD to influencing entire societies through planting false news stories or covertly shaping art and culture.The perception-altering properties of LSD and other psychoactive drugs fit well with the CIA's agenda

 

In pursuit of these goals, MKULTRA scientists investigated dozens of psychoactive agents, including psilocybin, bufotenin, scopolamine, DMT, amphetamines, barbiturates, cannabis, and cocaine. They particularly focused on LSD, funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars through covert channels into LSD studies at clinics and hospitals. Much of the basic research into LSD's pharmacology conducted in the 1950s was funded by either the military or the CIA. By 1952 Boston Psychopathic Hospital alone was receiving $40,000 a year for such studies, overseen by LSD researcher Dr. Robert Hyde.

LSD and other psychedelics activate neuronal networks and the glutamate system that are implicated in the regulation of emotion, their hallucinogenic effects can be impeded by

>blocking specific serotonin receptors in the brain (known as 5-HT2A).

 

Psychedelics typically boost serotonin and may also boost the release of glutamate, according to the review authors, another neurotransmitter that has been linked to short-term but long-lasting brain functions such as learning and memory. 

 

The idea that disturbances in brain chemistry might be important to behavior was profound, and began to revolutionize thinking about the brain, and neuroscience in general, and we can see how LSD was the catalyst for that revolution. If neuroscience can be said to have a beginning, one could argue that it occurred in 1954, with the idea that the action of LSD might be related to its effects on the

brain serotonin system. And if we look at the published scientific literature, we see a steadily increasing number of studies on the role of serotonin in the brain, which continues to the present day. Fuoxetine (Prozac) and other SSRI type antidepressants, or the triptan class of drugs used to treat migraines, were certainly developed more quickly because

of the discovery of LSD. The newest generation of drugs to treat schizophrenia also binds to one class of serotonin receptor. Would these medications have been developed without the

discovery of LSD?

>No

 

< SSRI/TCA/Atpyical antipsychotics are all made from the LSD blueprint.

 

Eli Lilly brought us the entire SSRI antidepressant era when they introduced the first SSRI Prozac the end of 1987.

Eli Lilly is also the developer and held the patent on the synthetic version of LSD which they developed for the CIA to use for mind control – it was the CIA’s drug of choice for that purpose. So much so that the CIA took 80% of their initial budget to buy up all the LSD they could find.

There are no coincidences

 

By 1950, CIA teams were running secret chemical tests on North Korean prisoners of war hoping to achieve mind control, amnesia, or both. The year that followed was a crucial one for the mind- and behavior control impetus. Dulles, who had graduated from spying for the OSS to become the CIA’s director, vividly recalled a wartime meeting with Dr. Albert Hofmann, the Sandoz chemist who discovered LSD.
