A former CIA officer has delivered explosive testimony before Congress, warning that the agency’s notorious MK-Ultra mind control research may never have truly ended.
The bombshell claims were made during a House Oversight Committee hearing led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL).
The hearing, titled “Mind Control and Accountability: Uncovering the Truth of the CIA’s MK-Ultra Experiments,” exposed chilling allegations about decades of CIA abuse, destroyed evidence, secret torture sites, and a continuing effort to keep the truth hidden from Congress and the American people.
MK-Ultra ran from 1953 to 1973.
The program subjected unwitting victims, including American citizens, hospital patients, prisoners, and veterans, to LSD, psychological torture, electroshock, hypnosis, and sensory deprivation.
The goal was to develop mind control techniques.
Luna described the program as “crimes committed by the Central Intelligence Agency against American citizens.”
She also called the experiments “crimes against humanity.”
“This was a deliberate, systematic governmental operation… authorized by the very top of U.S. intelligence apparatus,” Luna said
I believe this opening statement by Anna Paulina Luna will go down in history.
