MKULTRA: Government Mind Control Experiments, Part 4
Part 4An important American experimenter was Dr. James E. Ketcham. He later revealed tghat the Army believed that the Soviets had a major LSD experimentation program because they imported huge amounts of rye from their satellites. He also worked with deliriants like belladonna. The retarded children of military personnel were used for experiments at a site near Dallas according to Ken Wooden of PrincetonThere were other important experimenters including Heinrich Mueller, alias Dr. Blue or Gog, and his two sons , also physicians. Some times thew were known as Teddy Bear (Theodore) and Robin Hood (Michael). . The experiments were carried on at many military bases and civilian locations, always under cover of innocent-sounding projects. Important work was done at Englewood Arsenal, Maryland, where Friedrich Hoffman carried out psychochemical experiments. Also involved there was Dr. Hubertus Strunghold, who had done experiments on truth serums at Dachau, using mescaline and psychedelics. His work for us was appropriately called Project Chatter. Six other Nazi scientists were there.There were Nazi directed experiments on American citizens here and at a mental hospital in New York City. Other experiments that were follow-ups on Dacuau work succeeded in dissolving memory via electronic shock ( ORD—psychoelectronics) in the sixties. At six Nazi doctors had experimented with radiation and mind control were brought into the MKULTRA program. Nazi scientists believed mind control worked best when the subjects were conditioned as children. Experiments centered on enhancing memory, control of behavior , and developing enhanced interrogation techniques and preparing people to resist vigorous interrogation. Techniques included electronic shock, hypnosis, forms of torture, and drugs including the development of LSD. Germans at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute were experimenting with LSD in the 1930s, and Dr. Max Rinkel, who had worked there, fled Germany and brought news of LSD to American authorities. He fled to Boston before the war but did not give the drug to Army scientists until 1949, at which time he and others began working on it for the military. The army air force paid Hermann Becker-Freysing, who was sentenced to twenty years by the Nuremburg Tribunal, to write everything he could remember about his mind control experiments.
