  My book, The CIA Doctors,  ^[2] is based on 15,000 pages of documents I received from the  CIA through the Freedom of Information Act and dozens of papers published in  medical journals.  These papers report the results of research funded by  the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the Department of the Army, the  Office of Naval Research and the CIA.  From 1950 to 1972, the CIA funded  TOP SECRET research at many leading universities including Harvard, Yale,  Cornell, Johns Hopkins and Stanford.  There was a series of CIA mind  control programs including BLUEBIRD, ARTICHOKE, MKULTRA, MKSEARCH and  MKNAOMI.
 MKULTRA and related programs had several over-lapping purposes.  One was  to purchase mind control drugs from suppliers.  Another was to form  relationships with researchers who might later be used as consultants at the TOP  SECRET level.  The core purpose of these programs was to learn how to  enhance interrogations, erase and insert memories, and create and run Manchurian  Candidates.  All of this is described clearly and explicitly in the  declassified CIA documents, which provide a glimpse into the tip of the iceberg  of CIA and military mind control.
 The CIA mind control experiments were interwoven with radiation, chemical and  biological weapons experiments conducted on children, comatose patients,  pregnant women, the general population and other unwitting groups who had no  idea they were subjects in secret experiments.  Radiation, bacteria and  funguses were released over urban areas.  A large cloud of radiation was  released over Spokane during OPERATION GREEN RUN; plutonium was injected into a  comatose patient in Boston by Dr. William Sweet, a member of the Harvard brain  electrode team; plutonium was placed in the cereal of mentally handicapped  children at the Fernald School in New England; 751 pregnant women were injected  with plutonium at Vanderbilt University; the bacteria serratia maracens  was released into the air in San Francisco, resulting in a series of infections  and plutonium was injected into an amputee at the University of Rochester.   All these experiments were conducted without any informed consent or meaningful  follow-up.  Hallucinogens, marijuana, amphetamines and other drugs were  administered to imprisoned narcotic addicts in Lexington, Kentucky, terminal  cancer patients at Georgetown University Hospital, hospitalized sex offenders at  Ionia State Hospital in Michigan and johns picked by prostitutes hired by the  CIA in San Francisco and New York.
 Most of these experiments were conducted by psychiatrists with TOP SECRET  clearance.  These included Louis Jolyon West, Chairman of the Department of  Psychiatry at the University of Oklahoma and later at UCLA; Dr. Robert Hyde in  Boston; Dr. Carl Rogers at the University of Wisconsin; Dr. Martin Orne at  Harvard; Dr. Charles Osgood at the University of Illinois; Dr. James Hamilton at  Stanford; Dr. Charles Geschichter at the University of Richmond and Dr. Harold  Abramson and Dr. Harold Wolff at Cornell.  Other TOP SECRET-cleared MKULTRA  contractors included Dr. Maitland Baldwin, a neurosurgeon at the National  Institutes of Health and Dr. Carl Pfeiffer, a pharmacologist at Emory.
 The CIA doctors violated all medical codes of ethics dating back to  Hippocrates, including the Nuremberg Code.  The experimental subjects were  not told the real purpose of the experiments, did not give informed consent,  were not afforded outside counsel and received no meaningful follow-up.  As  described by the psychiatrists in published papers, experiments with LSD and  other hallucinogens, combined with sensory deprivation, electroshock and other  interrogation techniques, resulted in psychosis and death among other "side  effects."   The purpose of these experiments was to see how easily a  person could be put into a psychotic state or controlled.
 In a series of MKULTRA projects, the CIA paid a former Bureau of Narcotics  officer, George White, to set up safe houses in San Francisco and New York that  were decorated like brothels.  George White then hired prostitutes to pick  up johns at bars, bring them back to the safe house, give them LSD without their  knowledge, and then have sex with them.  The CIA officers watched the sex  through one-way mirrors.  The project documents state that the purpose of  the experiments was to test the effects of LSD on unwitting subjects under field  conditions that mimicked an interrogation of a foreign operative.
 In one of the memos contained in the MKULTRA files for these projects,  however, another purpose of the safe house operation is revealed.  The CIA  was actually testing the performance of "Jekyll-Hyde" identities they had  created in the prostitutes.  They wanted to see if they could make female  spies or female agents with alternate controllable personalities.  Another  purpose of these experiments was to test the CIA's Manchurian Candidate  prostitutes under conditions that mimicked a field operation.  The johns  were given LSD as part of the cover for testing the CIA's female Manchurian  Candidates prior to their use in actual operations (the mission being to have  sex with and extract information from targets).  The recruitment of street  prostitutes provided an additional layer of cover for the testing of the  Manchurian Candidates, plus it provided free live pornography for the CIA  officers.
 In other experiments, conducted by Dr. Jose Delgado at Yale and Drs. Vernon  Mark, Frank Ervin and William Sweet at Harvard, brain electrodes were implanted  in people and their mental state and behavior was controlled from a remote radio  transmitter box.  These experiments were conducted with funding from the  Office of Naval Research.  In experiments at Tulane funded by the CIA and  the Army, implantation of brain electrodes was combined with injecting mescaline  and other substances directly into the experimental subjects' brains.
 BLUEBIRD, ARTICHOKE and MKULTRA were the precursors of present-day  enhanced interrogation programs used by the CIA at secret prisons  outside the United States.  Water-boarding, electric shock, hooding,  prolonged sleep deprivation, death threats and other techniques discussed in the  Senate and Congress and in the media, are, in my opinion, elements of a  limited hangout, a CIA strategy in which a little bit of the truth is  revealed in order to cover up the greater part of the truth.  None of these  experiments or operational programs would be possible without the participation  of doctors, psychiatrists and psychologists.  The doctors are directly  involved in testing the interrogation techniques and monitoring their  effects.
 The purpose of mind control experiments is controlling human behavior: making  enemy combatants open up during interrogation; protecting secret information by  erasing memories; making spies more resistant to interrogation because secret  information is held by hidden identities and making people more prone to  influence, social control and suggestion.  It has nothing to do with  medical treatment, easing suffering or curing disease. The mind control  experiments and operational programs violate basic human rights and all codes of  medical ethics.
 Dr. Colin Ross is a psychiatrist, internationally renowned researcher,  author and lecturer. In addition to The CIA Doctors and Military  Mind Control, he is also author of Project Bluebird, in which he  exposes unethical experiments conducted by psychiatrists to create amnesia, new  identities, hypnotic access codes, and new memories in the minds of experimental  subjects. His research is based on 15,000 pages of documents obtained under the  Freedom of Information Act. Dr. Ross is a past president of the International  Society for the Study of Dissociation. He is the founder and President of the  Colin A. Ross Institute for Psychological Trauma.
