Declassified MK-Ultra Project Documents

This mind control program from the CIA started in the 50's and wanted to explore the use of electric stimulation as well as psychoactive substances to achieve the following goals :

  • "promote illogical thinking and impulsiveness to the point where the recipient would be discredited in public"
  • "increase the efficiency of mentation and perception"
  • "prevent or counteract the intoxicating effect of alcohol"
  • "promote the intoxicating effect of alcohol"
  • "produce the signs and symptoms of recognized diseases in a reversible way so that they may be used for malingering, etc."
  • "render the indication of hypnosis easier or otherwise enhance its usefulness"
  • "enhance the ability of individuals to withstand privation, torture and coercion during interrogation and so-called 'brainwashing'"
  • "produce amnesia for events preceding and during their use"
  • "produc[e] shock and confusion over extended periods of time and capable of surreptitious use"
  • "produce physical disablement such as paralysis of the legs, acute anemia, etc."
  • "produce 'pure' euphoria with no subsequent let-down"
  • "alter personality structure in such a way that the tendency of the recipient to become dependent upon another person is enhanced"
  • "cause mental confusion of such a type that the individual under its influence will find it difficult to maintain a fabrication under questioning"
  • "lower the ambition and general working efficiency of men when administered in undetectable amounts"
  • "promote weakness or distortion of the eyesight or hearing faculties, preferably without permanent effects"
