Project MK Ultra was an illegal program run by the Central
Intelligence Agency (C.I.A) to find ways to brainwash enemies of the state and force confessions using various
physical, psychoactive, and phycological torture methods. Over the 20 years this project was active, it was
the source of major human rights violations perpetrated by the United States Government.
Project MK ULF RA or MKULTRA was the code name for a covert CIA
mind-control and chemical interrogation research program, run by the Office of Scientific Intelligence.
This official US government program began in the early 1950s, continuing through the 1960s. MKULTRA
supposedly used United States citizens as unwitting test subjects. The published evidence indicates that
Project MK-ULTRA involved the secretive use of malicious drugs, as well as other methods, to
manipulate individual mental states and to alter brain function.
Project MK-ULTRA was first brought to wide public attention
in 1975 by the U.S. Congress, through investigations by the Church Committee, and by a presidential
commission known as the Rockefeller Commission. Investigative efforts were hampered by-the fact that CIA
Director Richard Helms ordered all MK-ULTRA tiles destroyed in I973; the Church Committee and Rockefeller
Commission investigations relied on the sworn testimony of direct participants and on the relatively small
number of documents that survived Helms' destruction order.
The Following Substances and Methods were used in MKULTRA in attempt to manipulate the Human Mind
Substances that promoted illogical thinking and impulsiveness to the point where the recipient would be discredited in public.

Materials and physical methods which produced amnesia for events preceding and during their use.
