In 1955, R. Gordon Wasson decided to participate in a sacred Indian ceremony that was held in southern Mexico and called "pathway to the divine". According to Michael Pollan's book How to Change Your Mind and some others, Wasson's trip played an important role in "promoting mind-bending drugs and the accompanying cultural revolution". Poisoner in Chief provides information about this trip and the life of Wasson; he explained how the CIA supported the financial cost of the trip without knowing Wasson. Gottlieb, who "was the brains behind the eventual CIA program", managed Wasson's trip. [9] Context [ edit ] When Lloyd Schrier tells his story, it sounds more like a conspiracy than his family's tragic past. Alfred W. McCoy writes, "Stripped of its bizarre excesses, Dr. Cameron's experiments, building upon Donald O. Hebb's earlier breakthrough, laid the scientific foundation for the CIA's two-stage psychological torture method", [76] referring to first creating a state of disorientation in the subject, and then creating a situation of "self-inflicted" discomfort in which the disoriented subject can alleviate pain by capitulating. [76] Secret detention camps [ edit ] According to Dutch writer and activist Alex de Jong, some of the experiments mentioned in the book are surreal. For example, an experiment was performed on mentally handicapped children, to whom they fed "cereal laced with uranium and radioactive calcium". [10]

[7] Kinzer collected information by wide investigating, interviews, and unpublished reports that were released when Gottlieb died. Gottlieb did experiments on American citizens and used techniques of torture and testing that were applied by Nazi Germany. [11] See also [ edit ] In season 7, episode 8 of Archer, " Liquid Lunch", the main characters are hired to prevent a former MK-Ultra participant from committing a murder.
Amory: Archer’s doing 30 years of history in 30 seconds. But its writers know their stuff. And they’re talking about a part of history that many of us don’t have top of mind. Because the CIA did everything it could to sweep this under the rug. When Americans eventually learned about MK-ULTRA in the 1970s it was a huge scandal. It’s just, there have been a lot of scandals since. Schpolianksy, Christophe (March 23, 2010). "Did CIA Experiment LSD on French Town?". ABCnews.com. ABC News. But once she walked through those hospital doors and into the care of a psychiatrist named Dr. Ewen Cameron, she became an unwitting experiment subject for a massive CIA brainwashing operation codenamed MK-ULTRA.

Kinzer: Allen Dulles, who was the CIA director during the 1950s, concluded, I think quite correctly, that any nation that could master the tools of mind control could control the whole world. And so not realizing or wanting to admit that that was an impossible goal, he set as a very top priority at the CIA to search for ways to control a human mind, and any intensity of experiments was going to be permitted because the urgency of the project was so overwhelming. Hundreds of relatives whose loved ones were experimented upon by Cameron are now demanding compensation for family members and an apology from the Canadian government.Amory Sivertson: And while the Nazis had been defeated by the allied powers in the West, there was a new threat on the horizon to the East: the Soviet Union.
