Govt Behaviour Control – Too Fat for New Zealand
Govt Behaviour Control – Too Fat for New Zealand
“In all, the agency [CIA] conducted 149 separate mind-control experiments, and as many as 25 involved unwitting subjects. At least one participant died, others went mad, and still others suffered psychological damage after participating in the project, known as MK Ultra. The C.I.A. … deliberately destroyed most of the MKUltra records in 1973.”

A South African man who was told he was too fat to have his work visa extended in New Zealand has called the decision “totally unfair”.
Immigration officials said Albert Buitenhuis’s weight – 130kg (20st 6lb) – could put him at “significant risk” of health complications and be a drain on the country’s medical services.
Mr Buitenhuis, who is a chef, now faces expulsion from New Zealand.
He told the BBC World Service that he can’t understand the decision, as he has lost more than 30kg (4st 10lb) since arriving in the country.
