Veterans sue CIA for ‘diabolical’ tests

US veterans have sued CIA on charges of drug and mind control experiments, urging Washington to contact all the subjects of the testing.

One of the plaintiffs explained how a few days after getting out of army boot camp he was enticed by notices calling for volunteers to test uniforms and equipment, the Guardian reported Monday.

But instead he found himself in a CIA-funded drug testing and mind-control program, according to a lawsuit that six veterans filed last week in a federal court in San Francisco against the Pentagon and the CIA.

The 60-year-old Frank Rochelle and five other veterans insist that the government needs to contact all the subjects of the experiments and provide them with proper healthcare.

The testing, which has been the subject of congressional hearings, promoted the US department of veterans affairs to release a pamphlet in 2003, saying nearly 7,000 soldiers had been involved in the program — codenamed MKUltra.

According to the lawsuit, some 250 chemicals, ranging from hallucinogens such as LSD and PCP to biological and chemical agents had been used on the subjects during the experiments between 1950 and 1975 at Edgewood Arsenal in Maryland.

Some of the volunteers, according to the complaint, have received implants containing electrical devices that may control their behavior.

The veterans maintain they were assured that the experiments were harmless and that their health would be carefully monitored, not just during the tests but afterward, too.

Despite their promise, the doctors conducting the experiments could not have known whether the drugs were safe because safety was one of the issues to be examined, Rochelle said.

He recalled being administered an aerosol which kept him drugged for two and a half days with hallucinations.

Rochelle said those who just tested equipment were mistreated. “Their idea of testing a gas mask was to give you a faulty one and put you in a gas chamber,” he said. “It was just diabolical.”

Now rated 60 percent disabled by the veterans affairs department, Rochelle says he has breathing problems, post-traumatic stress disorder, sleeping difficulties and poor short-term memory.

The tests never ended, and the CIA never stopped experimenting, the tech just got more wicked, evasive
and sweeping across private boundaries of body, mind and
soul.

I just watched "The Bourne Supremacy" the other night, so I've finally seen all three. That and shows like "24" are indoctrinating people to believe that they have to do "whatever it takes" to keep us safe. There will be a Jason Bourne or Jack Bauer there to make sure it doesn't go too far. Sadly, there will be no heroes. If somebody did try to blow the whistle, they'd be killed.

There were also 'tests' done here at McGill University by the CIA using, if I remember correctly LSD. The 'patients' of those experiments also went after the CIA for compensation.



The Agency turned to Dr. Ewen Cameron, a respected psychiatrist who served as president of the Canadian, the American, and the World Psychiatric Association before his death in 1967.

Cameron also directed the Allain Memorial Institute at Montreal's McGill University, where he developed a bizarre and unorthodox method for treating schizophrenia.

With financial backing from the CIA he tested his method on 53 patients at Allain. The so-called treatment started with sleep therapy, in which subjects were knocked out for months at a time.

The next phase, depatterning, entailed massive electroshock and frequent doses of LSD designed to wipe out past behavior patterns. Then Cameron tried to recondition the mind through a technique known as psychic driving.

The patients, once again heavily sedated, were confined to sleep rooms where tape-recorded messages played over and over from speakers under their pillows. Some heard the message a quarter of a million times.

Cameron's methods were later discredited, and the CIA grudgingly gave up on the notion of LSD as a brainwashing technique.

But that was little consolation to those who served as guinea pigs for the CIA's secret mind control projects. Nine of Cameron's former patients have sued the American government for $1,000,000 each, claiming that they are still suffering from the trauma they went through at Allain.

These people never agreed to participate in a scientific experiment, a fact which reflects little credit on the CIA, even if the Agency officials feared that the Soviets were spurting ahead in the mind control race.

The CIA violated the Nuremberg Code for medical ethics by sponsoring experiments on unwitting subjects. Ironically, Dr. Cameron was a member of the Nuremberg tribunal that heard the case against Nazi war criminals who committed atrocities during World War II.

As I recall, these things were so bad that Clinton had to apologize for them while he was President.

However if you read Cathy O'Briens book "Transformation Of America", you'd see some very shocking statements involving both Bush and Clinton. Cathy was one of a few that went to congress to testify about being an MKUltra subject.
