OA1057 We're giving ourselves a break this week from Trump, the Supreme Court, and all things 2024 to indulge in one of Matt's all-time favorite subjects: CIA mind control experiments! In this extra-carefully-researched episode, Matt breaks down the history of the federal government's MKULTRA  program to fund research in brainwashing, mind control, and LSD on unsuspecting U.S. and (for some reason) Canadian citizens, as well as the inherent legal issues in trying to sue the CIA for something you can't remember and for which most evidence has been destroyed. Why was the CIA funding a sadistic mad scientist in Montreal, and is there any hope of justice for the families of his victims today?  BOOKS Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control , Stephen Kinzer (2019) The Search for the Manchurian Candidate: the CIA and Mind Control, John Marks (1979)(link goes to full text on CIA website) The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America's Secret Government: David Talbot (2016) CHAOS: The Truth Behind the Manson Murders, Tom O'Neill (2020) LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Orlikow v.

If you're listening to this podcast, chances are you've heard stories about the CIA's experiments with drugs, particularly LSD, during the infamous MKUltra program. But you may not know that the characters involved in that dubious effort connect to one of the 20th Century's most famous and revered scientists, the anthropologist Margaret Mead. Shane Harris talked with historian Benjamin Breen about this new book, Tripping on Utopia, which tells the story of how Mead and her close circle launched a movement to expand human consciousness, decades before the counterculture of the 1960s popularized, and ultimately stigmatized, psychedelic drugs. Mead and Gregory Bateson--her collaborator and one-time husband--are at the center of a story that includes the WWII-era Office of Strategic Services, a shady cast of CIA agents and operatives, Beat poets, and the pioneers of the Information Age. Psychedelics are having a renaissance, with federal regulators poised to legalize their use - Breen's book is an engrossing history that explores the roots of that movement and how it influenced and collided with the U.S. national security establishment. Books, movies, and other points of interest discussed in this conversation include: Tripping on Utopia: Margaret Mead, the Cold War, and the Troubled Birth of Psychedelic Science by Benjamin Breen Tripped: Nazi Germany, the CIA, and the Dawn of the Psychedelic Age by Norman Ohler MKUltra The intelligence community's research on “truth drugs” The Manchurian Candidate The Good Shepherd Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control by Stephen Kinzer The Men Who Stare at Goats by Jon Ronson Ghost Hunters: William James and the Search for Scientific Proof of Life After Death by Deborah Blum “Operation Delirium” by Raffi Khatchadourian in The New Yorker Also check out: Ben's website Ben's Substack Ben on Twitter Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

EP#145 "The Quest For Mind Control MK-ULTRA & Beyond"WW2 had just ended and behind the celebrations around the world welcoming back the troops there was a new secret war developing.  That secret war had started years before with espionage and infiltrations of foreign governments. With new weapons being developed like the Manhattan project, a sense of paranoia and distrust was sweeping the nations of the world.   Each of the superpowers were racing to find the best tactics to eavesdrop and spy on each other in hopes of gaining an upper hand.  It was amidst this background of rampant paranoia that one of the most bizarre and unethical government programs in the history of the United States was created.  Join us as we examine the evidence surrounding this once above top secret project, in this episode of Wild & Weird Radio.You can watch this episode and more on YouTube here:Like, share & subscribe today for more content , it's FREE https://www.youtube.com/@WildandWeirdWV--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Project Bluebird:https://publicintelligence.net/cia-bluebird/Arthur Stoll:https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/09/the-accidental-discovery-of-lsd/379564/Albert Hoffman:https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/flashback-lsd-creator-albert-hofmann-drops-acid-for-the-first-time-629085/MKUltraPrograms:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MKUltra#MKSEARCHPoisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind ControlSteven Kinzer:https://www.amazon.com/s?k=poisoner+in+chief&i=stripbooks&hvadid=583144153875&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9009074&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=17569595152911233975&hvtargid=kwd-813245151278&hydadcr=22536_9636732&tag=googhydr-20&ref=pd_sl_7x5xag4qpu_e

During the early days of the Cold War, the CIA became convinced that the Soviets had discovered how to control the human mind. In response, the American CIA began its own secret program, called MK-ULTRA, to search for a drug that could weaponize the human mind against America and capitalism's enemies.MK-ULTRA, in operation from the 1950s until the early '60s, was created and run by a chemist named Sidney Gottlieb. Today's guest journalist and author Stephen Kinzer, who spent several years investigating the program for his book “Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control”, calls the operation the "most sustained search in history for techniques of mind control." Stephen Kinzer is an award-winning foreign correspondent who has covered more than 50 countries on five continents. His articles and books have led the Washington Post to place him "among the best in popular foreign policy storytelling."Kinzer spent more than 20 years working for the New York Times, most of it as a foreign correspondent. His foreign postings placed him at the center of historic events and, at times, in the line of fire.From 1983 to 1989, Kinzer was the New York Times bureau chief in Nicaragua. In that post he covered war and upheaval in Central America. He also wrote two books about the region. One of them, co-authored with Stephen Schlesinger, is Bitter Fruit: The Untold Story of the American Coup in Guatemala. The other one, Blood of Brothers: Life and War in Nicaragua, is a social and political portrait that the New Yorker called "impressive for the refinement of its writing and also the breadth of its subject matter." Columbia University awarded Kinzer its Maria Moors Cabot prize for outstanding coverage of Latin America.From 1990 to 1996 Kinzer was posted in Germany. He was chief of the New York Times bureau in Bonn, and after German unification became chief of the Berlin bureau. From there he covered the emergence of post-Communist Europe, including wars in the former Yugoslavia.In 1996 Kinzer was named chief of the newly opened New York Times bureau in Istanbul, Turkey. He spent four years there, traveling widely in Turkey and in the new nations of Central Asia and the Caucasus. After completing this assignment, Kinzer published Crescent and Star: Turkey Between Two Worlds.In 2006 Kinzer published Overthrow: America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq. It recounts the 14 times the United States has overthrown foreign governments. Kinzer seeks to explain why these interventions were carried out and what their long-term effects have been. He has made several trips to Iran, and is the author of All the Shah's Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror. It tells how the CIA overthrew Iran's nationalist government in 1953.Kinzer wrote about Africa in his book A Thousand Hills: Rwanda's Rebirth and the Man Who Dreamed It. Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa called it "a fascinating account of a near-miracle unfolding before our very eyes.”In 2010 Kinzer published Reset: Iran, Turkey, and America's Future, which Huffington Post called “a bold exercise in reimagining the United States' big links in the Middle East.”Kinzer's next book, The Brothers: John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, and Their Secret World War, was widely praised. Reviewers called it sparkling, riveting, gripping, bracing, and disturbing. The Wall Street Journal called it a “fluently written, ingeniously researched, thrillerish work of popular history.”In 2017 Kinzer published The True Flag: Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, and the Birth of American Empire. His newest book, published in 2019, is "Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control." After leaving the Times in 2005, Kinzer taught journalism, political science, and international relations at Northwestern University and Boston University. He is now a Senior Fellow at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University, and writes a world affairs column for The Boston Globe.While posted in Turkey, Kinzer hosted the country's first radio show devoted to blues music. He is the author of the entry on Jelly Roll Morton in The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge.In 2008 Kinzer was awarded an honorary doctorate by Dominican University in River Forest, Illinois. The citation said that "those of us who have had the pleasure of hearing his lectures or talking to him informally will probably never see the world in the same way again."The University of Scranton awarded Kinzer an honorary doctorate in 2010. “Where there has been turmoil in the world and history has shifted, Stephen Kinzer has been there,” the citation said. “Neither bullets, bombs nor beating could dull his sharp determination to bring injustice and strife to light.”You can find more about Stephen and his work on his official website stephenkinzer.com or on twitter @stephenkinzerLike and subscribe to us on Youtube for more fun and exclusive content!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuM080VqVCe0gAns9V9WK9wSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/00gCjGhq8qrAEkraZnMwGR?go=1&sp_cid=ce203d55369588581151ec13011b84ac&utm_source=embed_player_pGoogle Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/u/1/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucmlrc21pbmQuY29tL2xpc3Rlbj9mb3JtYXQ9cnNz?Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/riks-mind-podcast/id1460215365Show Notes:Stephen Kinzer | Official WebsiteStephen Kinzer | TwitterWatson Institute for International & Public Affairs | Brown University The most important lesson of the Cuban Missile Crisis by Stephen Kinzer | The Boston GlobeThe protests in Iran could be a turning point by Stephen Kinzer | The Boston GlobePoisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control by Stephen Kinzer | MacMillan PublishersSidney Gottlieb obituary: The real Manchurian Candidate by Godfrey Hodgson | The GuardianThe Coldest by Ted Gup (2001) | The Washington Post​Human Experimentation at Unit 731​ | Pacific Atrocities Education In 1950, the U.S. Released a Bioweapon in San Francisco by Helen Thompson | Smithsonian MagazineOf Microbes and Mock Attacks: Years Ago, The Military Sprayed Germs on U.S. Cities by Jim Carlton | The Wall Street JournalSerratia has dark history in region / Army test in 1950 may have changed microbial ecology by Bernadette Tansey | SFGateJohn Foster Dulles, United States statesman | Britannica Overthrow: America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq by Stephen Kinzer | MacMillan Publishers

Stephen Kinzer is a former "New York Times" correspondent, is a Senior Fellow in International and Public Affairs at Brown University, and is the author of "Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control."During our conversation, Stephen talks about the goals of the MK-Ultra program, its leader Sidney Gottlieb, its record of physical and psychological torture, its secrecy from the public, how it brought LSD into America, and how its existence was revealed to the public.The MK-Ultra program started in 1953 and the public was unaware of it and its abuses for more than 20 years. Because so much of its documentation was destroyed, we'll likely never know the full extent of MK-Ultra's activity and its abuses of power. But, we can learn that it existed, it was real, and it was fully rationalized in its time.------------Support via VenmoSupport on SubstackSupport on Patreon------------Show notesRate on SpotifyRate on Apple PodcastsSocial media and all episodes------------(00:00) Introduction(02:17) Sidney Gottlieb: the most powerful, unknown American of the 20th century(06:51) What is the CIA's MK Ultra program?(14:01) The nefarious aspects of MK Ultra's experiments(16:52) Gottlieb's interest in clinical experiments with LSD(22:14) Charles Manson and the MK Ultra program(24:44) MK Ultra's two-step program to first blow out, then control, people's minds(32:51) How hepatitis patients react to LSD(37:29) MK Ultra was above of the law(44:32) The personal life of Sidney Gottlieb(51:03) Scientific conclusions from the MK Ultra program(53:11) How the public learned about MK Ultra(55:27) Is something like MK Ultra going on today?(59:46) Don't swallow the narrative you're fed by government and power

Stephen Kinzer is an American author, journalist, and academic. A former New York Times correspondent, he has published several books, and writes for several newspapers and news agencies. Stephen discusses his book "Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control" about The visionary chemist Sidney Gottlieb was the CIA's master magician and gentlehearted torturer―the agency's “poisoner in chief.” As head of the MK-ULTRA mind control project, he directed brutal experiments at secret prisons on three continents. He made pills, powders, and potions that could kill or maim without a trace―including some intended for Fidel Castro and other foreign leaders. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/out-of-the-blank-podcast/support

Episode 204: Between 1957 and 1964 in Montreal, Quebec, experiments were undertaken that compromised and invaded people's minds, their agency to make decisions for themselves removed and their brains mucked about in, both physically and psychologically. These barbaric, Orwellian experiments often involved mind expanding drugs like LSD, sensory deprivation, shock treatments and periods of sleep induced for weeks at a time as well as other treatments that could easily be called torturous. They were sponsored by the most notorious branch of the United States government, the CIA, the Canadian government as well as other shadowy organizations with funding coming even from the Rockefellers. The goals behind the research, it seems were to develop brainwashed, zombie-like ‘recruits' who would do the bidding of these groups without question or conscience getting in the way and to develop new methods of psychological torture to aid in enemy interrogation. All of it took place right here in Canada. The research was overseen by Dr. Donald Ewen Cameron, an eminent and well-respected psychiatrist at McGill University's, Allan Memorial Institute with unwitting Canadian psychiatric patients used as Guinae pigs. The project was called MK-ULTRA. Sources: D. Ewen Cameron, M.D., F.R.C.P.C.

Specifically Discussed: - Stephen's background as a foreign correspondent for the New York Times and how it catalyzed him to start writing about the history of US imperialism - The United States is the world's leader in foreign interference (and no one is even close) - What Americans do not seem to understand about Russia - The methods by which the United States interferes in foreign governments - The role of disinformation in both the targeted nations and the American public - How alleged human rights abuses of targeted nations are weaponized by the US to push imperial actions and do exponentially more harm than the original allegations The American exceptionalism mindset: "We are the first nation in the world that has managed to marry virtue and power” - Could American foreign policy ever create positive outcomes? - Stephen's prognostications for interference that the United States is currently undertaking - Stephen's prognostications for a Biden administration Stephen's Work: Please support him!

Coronavirus Quarantine Tips (0:33)Nina Shapiro, MD, professor, UCLA, author of “Hype: A Doctor's Guide to Medical Myths”So school is canceled, meetings of more than 50 people are canceled and you're working from home because of the coronavirus pandemic.  But you feel fine and so do your kids. As far as you know you haven't come into contact with anyone who has the virus. Do you and your family really need to stay locked down? The CIA's Failed Quest to Develop Mind Control (11:55)Guest: Stephen Kinzer, Author of “Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control”The CIA has developed the ability to reprogram minds and wipe away inconvenient memories. At least in the movies, it can. That's what the CIA did to assassin Jason Bourne once they were finished with him. And that's where the Men in Black got their flashing pen-like “neutralizer” to erase knowledge of aliens from ordinary folks. So that's all fun and fiction, but for 10 years during the Cold War, the CIA really did have a secret mind control project. Instead of flashing pens, they were experimenting with LSD. And instead of a little harmless amnesia about aliens, the CIA was wreaking havoc on the minds of prisoners, children, sex workers and even some of their own government employees. (Originally aired 11/7/2019) Why It's Not all Doom and Gloom When it Comes to Climate Change (49:30)Guest: Alejandro Frid, Ecologist and Science Coordinator, Central Coast Indigenous Resource Alliance, Author of “Changing Tides: An Ecologist's Journey to Make Peace with the Anthropocene”Humans are ruining the planet. That's the key message you might take away from the steady warnings about climate change and carbon emissions. The atmosphere and oceans are warming. Droughts, wildfires and storms are getting more intense. Species are going rapidly extinct. Pollution threatens our drinking water. And basically, it's too late to reverse course. We're headed for a climate apocalypse unless the whole planet ditches fossil fuels and stops eating meat right now. I wish I were exaggerating here, but honestly, that's how dire and hopeless the situation feels. Still, marine ecologist Alejandro Frid thinks there is room for optimism. (Originally aired 12/5/2019) You Know You're a Standup Economist if...You're Yoram Bauman (1:25:41)Guest: Yoram Bauman, Standup Economist, Co-Author “Cartoon Introduction to Economics” and “Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change”Yoram Bauman travels the country trying to make people laugh at college gatherings and corporate events. He introduces himself as the “world's first and only standup economist.” Jokes about economics can be tricky, but if you get the right crowd, Bauman kills. And there's enough demand for economist jokes that this has been Bauman's full-time gig for a decade. (Originally aired 12/5/2019)

Jason Cousineau and Eric Renderking Fisk talk about the mysterious death of DHS Whistleblower Philip Haney who wrote the book See Something, Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government's Submission to Jihad. Mr. Haney was critical of the Bush and Obama administrations in their handling of The War On Terror. We also talk about new revelations about MKULTRA that have been detailed in the book "Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control," by Stephen Kinzer. But first, we talk about having little sympathy for dumb people who make tragic mistakes and evil men who get exactly what they have coming to them and whether the lack of empathy towards these people says something about our own humanity.

Guest: Stephen Kinzer, former New York Times foreign correspondent, now Senior Fellow at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University and author of the book Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control. The post The CIA, Sidney Gottlieb, the Search for Mind Control, and the Spread of LSD in the 1960's appeared first on KPFA.

Stephen Kinzer is the author of many books including Overthrow and All the Shah's Men. His new book is Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control. Kinzer explains how the CIA conducted horrific experiments involving LSD and other drugs during the Cold War with the goal of determining if they could destroy the human mind and then reprogram it for their own purposes. Kinzer also explores the daily life of the CIA's “poisoner in chief” Sidney Gottlieb – a man who had a literal license to kill. And Kinzer separates fact from fiction about the MK Ultra program, “Manchurian candidates”, and the hidden history of the United States government's relationship to 1960s counterculture and the popularization of LSD. ****If you learn from and enjoy The Chauncey DeVega Show please show some love by making a donation during the December fundraiser via the Paypal link at ChaunceyDeVega.com or through Patreon.

History of the Mormon Colonies in Mexico Hit by Brutal Violence This Week (0:31)Guest: Cristina Rosetti, PhD, Department of Religious Studies, University of California, RiversideFunerals are being held now for the nine American women and children murdered in northern Mexico by cartel gunmen. They are part of a fundamentalist Mormon community with a long history in the region. More than a century ago, former members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints fled to Mexico when the church and US laws banned polygamy. Many of their descendants ranch and farm the region today with dual citizenship in the US and Mexico. Harriet Tubman, Abolition Super Hero (17:00)Guest: Kellie Carter Jackson, Assistant Professor of Humanities and Africana Studies at Wellesley College, Author of “Force and Freedom: Black Abolitionists and the Politics of Violence”Someday Harriet Tubman might be on the $20 bill –the plan for that switch is stalled. But for now, people are handing over their $20s to see Harriet on screen. The new film depicts Harriet Tubman as a gun toting action hero. Which Kellie Carter Jackson says is true-to-life.  After 51 Years Are Movie Ratings Still Relevant? (34:58)Guest: Kelly McMahon is the Senior Vice President and Chair of the Classification and Rating Administration for the Motion Picture AssociationHave you ever gone to a movie with your kids and have been surprised at the amount of violence or profanity you saw? Or an unexpected sexual moment? But are parents actually using the ratings? And do they understand what they mean? The CIA's Failed Quest to Develop Mind Control (51:08)Guest: Stephen Kinzer, Author of “Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control”The CIA has developed the ability to reprogram minds and wipe away inconvenient memories.

But a new study shows that when kids complain about hand dryers in bathrooms are hurting their ears, it's real. Nora Keegan has spent the last four years researching the negative impacts hand dryers on kids' hearing, and her study was recently published in the official journal of the Canadian Pediatric Society. And get this, she's only 13-years-old.
