The Middle Ages is known to be one of the darkest times in human history, the practices that were performed at that time are considered inhuman and cruel, however did you know that some Did those methods continue to provoke controversy in a time relatively close to our time? Find out about the abominations that took place in the program called MK Ultra .
Background that originated the MK Ultra project
In the year of 1484 , Heinrich Kramer and Jacobus Sprenger publish one of the most famous books on witchcraft , the so-called “ Malleus Maleficarum ”which was used for several centuries by judges, magistrates and priests as a manual for the Inquisition .Everything related to sorcerers, supernatural powers and their relationship with the devil was explained in this text.
The "Malleus Maleficarum" was a manual that contained instructions and techniques of torture in order to make the victim make false confessions about possible heresy and witchcraft. techniques had the ability to bring the individual to a state of submission such that he was able to say or tell events that he would not reveal while in another situation.
In a very basic way, it has the principles that would later form the MK Ultra programming , using involuntary subjects in order to eradicate the state of awareness leading them to reach a totally unconscious submission , is In other words, the victim saw his reduced will and could carry out any action that the person who submitted it wanted.
Subsequently, the famous philosopher and doctor of medicine, Franz Mesmer, would have been who gave the clue that scientists needed to understand that they could change and manipulate the will of an individual, since in 1776 I conducted a experiment in the French court of Louis XVI with a barrel containing iron filings , which caused a certain magnetic load , addressed the court members indicating that whoever touched this barrel would enjoy pleasant seizures , the individuals agreed to touch the barrel and one by one fainting between frantic seizures, thus Mesmer had found the power of the suggestion and, thanks to the fear provoked by the idea of controlling the minds, he got his expulsion from the city, despite his studies being resumed by some other scientists in Moscow.
What is the MK Ultra project and how does it come about?
During the 30s , research became mostly popular throughout Europe, mainly France and England.Theories about hypnosis and mind control begin to emerge and perfect, the Soviet Union takes the initiative by working with these types of techniques to use them as a warlike weapon that would grant them the confessions they need, all this thanks to the psychiatrist Alexander Luriya who incorporated new theories on the creation of new memories and emotional states in individuals after subjecting them to mental conflicts.
During this stage, the Second World War begins to give way and the government of the United States is realize that you need an intelligence department in which, not only practice war strategies , but use these mental control theories on enemy prisoners .Thus the MK Ultra project is born g>.
This secret research project of the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) began its first studies near the year 1950, The purpose was to verify that an individual could develop a new identity , erasing memories of his existing personality, which would serve as tasks surveillance or espionage.This could be achieved through severe sessions of electric shocks , long periods of isolation and administering certain drugs and chemical substances, mostly LSD.The project is accepted by the former CIA director Allen Dulles and the first head of the Sidney Gottlieb project.
Experiments began with some students and test subjects who voluntarily underwent the administration of substances that altered the state of consciousness, however the scope of the investigation began to be questioned since the main purpose of the mind control technique was for individuals to stay outside the experiment and thus not know that their reality had been modified.> controversies involving the death of Dr.Frank Olson, submitted to LSD applications, Sidney Gottlieb and the rest of his team began to identify subjects who did not resist to a treatment and although they wanted to go to the authorities to communicate the anti-ethical practices of this investigation, they could not believe them at all, that is to say psychiatric patients or even prostitutes .
Meanwhile, the CIA granted funds of millions of dollars to the most important universities and laboratories in the US, given that the concern to win is called " battle for mind control " against Japan and Russia who in turn had achieved advanced and sophisticated results in their journey through the intricate world of absolute mind control based on constant trauma.
The Pretensions of MK Ultra
Within the goals The most important of this project highlighted the need to promote impulsivity , achieve a simple and prompt induction to the state of hypnosis based on special substances or materials, so that the subjects will reach a mental state in which they were able to withstand all kinds of torture , coercion, sensory deprivation, in other words as it was known back then to get a " brainwashing &rdquo create physical methods and substances that cause amnesia so that the subject could not remember that he had undergone some kind of mental disturbance if he was discovered by the enemy army, also wanted to possess a substance that managed to produce a mental confusion that would keep the foreign subject to satisfy their own needs, obeying every order given to them.
In a few words the project wanted to depersonalize the individual to be left as a “ empty container ” in which they could deposit completely new information for their own warlike purposes.Depersonalization had been a theory that was included in the work of the CIA thanks to Dr.Ewen Cameron who by the end of the 50s had followed the course of depersonalization of individuals at the Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal, Canada.
The Dr.Cameron kept the test individuals asleep through drugs for days, provided electroshock sessions hundreds of times reducing the individual to a plant state .This type of technique was applied to hundreds of involuntary test subjects in the period of 1957 to 1963 .
As we see the cruelty that existed in this investigation was overlooked even by the fact that the CIA had been responsible for justifying it as a project in for national security. Many claim that without these experiments the advances in the modern science could not have become what they are, however we have to ask ourselves if these practices are still under discussion in those secret institutions in one of the most powerful countries in the world: United States.
