Here you go - available again for a limited time on the public DHP podcast feed, another blast from the past (all the way back in 2014!) is Vintage DHP Episode 38. Join CJ as he discusses: The origins and motivations behind the CIA's mind-control experiments How the experiments that used subjects who had not given informed consent violated the Nuremberg Code, as well as other laws and codes of conduct The first CIA mind control experiment programs, Project Bluebird and Project Artichoke The creation of Project MKUltra, an enlarged mind control program, under the auspices of Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, head of the Chemical Division of the CIA's Technical Services Staff (or TSS) The CIA's LSD experiments, which began on consenting subjects (including college students, prisoners, and CIA personnel) but soon progressed to unwitting test subjects, such as the unfortunate Frank Olsen, an Army doctor who was given LSD without his knowledge, had a really bad trip, and ended up killing himself. The CIA experiments run by Federal Narcotics Bureau Agent George White, who hired prostitutes to lure johns into apartments that had been set up by the CIA to look like love nests; once there, in addition to being sexually serviced, the johns would be drugged without their knowledge while White and CIA men observed and recorded everything from behind a 1-way mirror The CIA-sponsored smorgasbord experiments of Dr. Ewan Cameron, psychiatrist at Allen Memorial Institute at McGill University in Montreal Canada, where unwitting mental patients were reduced to a near-vegetative state through a combination of drugs, electroshock, and other means. How MKUltra “ended” in 1964, but actually continued under new codenames into the 1970s (if not beyond) How some of this information started to come to light in the 1970s, despite efforts by CIA Director Richard Helms to destroy all records of these experiments The fact that what we do know is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg — who knows what experiments happened that we'll never know about?

Boom! - Dropped back on the Gen-Pop feed (reissued for a limited time) from almost 7 years ago, here comes another vintage DHP episode! This one was about the US government's horrific radiation experiments on human test subjects in the mid-20th century. Join CJ as he discusses: The Nuremberg Code, and its relevance to these experiments The first experiments carried out by Manhattan Project doctors between 1945 and 1947, including one on a 4-year-old Australian boy dying of cancer The creation of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), and how they created experimental guidelines similar to the Nuremberg Code, which unfortunately they had no problem ignoring Over 800 pregnant women in Nashville who were given ‘cocktails' containing radioactive elements in the late-1940s & early-1950s Boys at the Walter E. Fernald State School for the mentally disabled who were given radioactive milk and oatmeal courtesy of MIT scientists & the Quaker Oats company Prisoners in Oregon and Washington who had their testicles dosed with massive amounts of radiation in return for cash How this all really started to come to light in the 1990s due to investigations by Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary and a committee set up by President Clinton to investigate these experiments The less-than-satisfying conclusion of those investigations External Links Interview with Eileen Welsome, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist & author of The Plutonium Files President Clinton's remarks from October 1995 regarding these experiments Support the Dangerous History Podcast via Patreon, SubscribeStar, or Bitbacker.
