    Families of MK Ultra victims file class-action lawsuit over government mind control experiments

    Most of the government mind control programs that exist are kept secret but over the years, there is one that managed to draw the attention of the public. That program was a government project called "MK Ultra," a CIA operation that involved extreme methods of mind control that were tested on US and Canadian citizens. The projects began in the 1940s and ran until the 1970s when the details of the experiments were exposed because victims began speaking out about the conditions that they were subjected to.

    There were 150 "sub-projects" within the MKU program, many involved advanced brainwashing techniques using psychological drugs, sensory deprivation and electroshock therapy.

    A new class-action lawsuit was filed by families and survivors of MK Ultra experiments in Canada this week, since the controversial mind control experiments were also conducted there, as well as in the U.S. The experiments were overseen by Dr. Donald Ewen Cameron, the first Chairman of the World Psychiatric Association, and president of both American and Canadian psychiatric associations.

    The plaintiffs in the lawsuit were all involved in experiments at the Allan Memorial Institute of McGill University, but similar experiments took place in dozens of other locations across the U.S. and Canada. In most cases, test subjects were unknowingly entered into these dangerous studies after they reported common psychological problems like depression, anxiety or addiction.

    Marlene Levenson, the niece of a deceased MK Ultra survivor named Phyllis Goldberg, who was recently interviewed by CTV News about the pending lawsuit, said that her family's life was torn apart by the experiments and that her aunt was never the same again after leaving that hospital.

    "When she would be with us, on weekends and so on, she didn't communicate. She laughed for no reason. Her gait was very different. She couldn't dress herself - she couldn't do anything for herself. When you went to pat her, just as a gesture, she would cringe. That bewildered me - not realizing, or understanding, she had electric shock equipment put on her head so many times that it [remained] in her subconscious," Levenson explained.

    "I could not believe this was allowed. These were innocent people who went in for mild depression-even if it was severe depression, post-partum, neurological things that happened-they came out completely ravaged, and their life was ruined," she added.

    Angela Bardosh, another family member involved in the lawsuit, says that the experiments gave her mother schizophrenia.

    "It's horrific to go back-for me, it took years to go back and read my mom's medical records. Within six months with the treatments that Dr. Cameron did, it turned her into an acute schizophrenic. She suffered greatly through the mental health system," Bardosh said.

    In 1973, when the experiments began receiving public attention, CIA director and chief architect of MKU, Richard Helms, destroyed records of the project, but some papers were misfiled and overlooked, providing evidence that the program existed. Just a few years later those misfiled papers would come back to haunt the Pentagon as they would expose some of the harsh realities behind the MKU program. After this evidence surfaced, dozens of victims came forth claiming to be test subjects in MKU experiments and filed lawsuits against the CIA.

    The governments of both the U.S. and Canada have done their best to avoid responsibility for these experiments, and although there have been several rulings in favor of some victims, these families are usually left to fight it out individually in court. In 2009, veterans groups attempted to sue the CIA over trauma and suffering caused by the experiments, and they are still appealing their case today. According to a report from Wired:
    The experiments allegedly included "the use of troops to test nerve gas, psychochemicals, and thousands of other toxic chemical or biological substances, and ... the insertion of septal implants in the brains of subjects in ... mind control experiments that went awry, leaving many civilian and military subjects with permanent disabilities." Subjects were tested without their consent, the veterans say. And when the trials were over, the government failed to "provide health care or compensation."
    In 1992, nearly 70 MK Ultra victims were awarded $100,000 by the Canadian government as restitution for the experiments, but many of the victims-including those involved in this most recent lawsuit-were not eligible for compensation because the ruling allowed for a very small window of qualifications, leaving out a very large number of survivors.

    The group filing the lawsuit is seeking a public apology from the government as well as compensation, although it was not specified how much they are seeking.

    It is amazing that most Americans are totally unaware of the MK-ULTRA chapter in their history. Perhaps if they did, they wouldn't be so busy "bringing freedom and democracy to the rest of the world" by bombing the hell out of it.

    I am currently working on an artistic, politically minded project with a group of people. When I mentioned MK-ULTRA, no one knew a thing about it, including the person heading the project!

    This lawsuit is very encouraging, but most will still remain ignorant of what MK-ULTRA was and what it did. And some don't want to believe it.

    There are none so blind as those who will not see.

    I did not know about it prior to joining Avalon. I've tried to inform a few family members, but the response has generally been a shrug off -- a "that was in the past ... they don't do those things anymore."

    Lady M, I didn't know about it either, before I got hit over the head with a 2x4. (figuratively; kind of-it really was a bitch).

    I guess we are all like alarm clocks and if we all went off at the same time, no one would hear it or they would just sleep through it.

    It's really painful to think about. At least for me, but I try to stay brave because I refuse to let them scare me or get me down. But, I do have some anger on behalf of all of us.

    And it is not doing any victim any good for me to be less than aware, kind and angry when appopriate.

    Righteously of course.

    • U.S. Argues For Immunity In MK-Ultra Mind-Control Case Before Quebec Court Of Appeal:



    Quebec's Court of Appeal will rule on whether Quebec Superior Court was right in granting immunity to the U.S. government over its alleged involvement in the MK-ULTRA experiments.

    A proposed class-action lawsuit over infamous brainwashing experiments at a Montreal psychiatric hospital was before Quebec's highest court Thursday, as victims attempted to remove immunity granted to the United States government.

    The U.S. government successfully argued in Quebec Superior Court last August that the country couldn't be sued for the project known as MK-ULTRA, allegedly funded by the Canadian government and the CIA. U.S. lawyers argued that foreign states had absolute immunity from lawsuits in Canada between the 1940s and 1960s, when the program took place.

    This was an interesting interview IMO.

    Quote MK Ultra inside, Arkheim Ra. Arkheim. Arkheim claims to be a MK Ultra insider who has served many lifetimes as an indentured servant to the deep state in black ops programs. He is knowledgeable about a range of subjects and knows about time travel, cloning technology, consciousness extraction, temporal wars, the truth behind the entertainment industry and more. I personally feel this is one of the most fascinating interviews I've ever conducted.

    Exclamation Re: Families of MK Ultra victims file class-action lawsuit over government mind control experiments

    • "Government Mind Control Projects: The MkULTRA Files" ... also known as "Behavior Modification Programs" Declassified.

    • 00:00 Mind control involves both general societal manipulation and psychiatric methods, with classical conditioning being a fundamental principle.
    • 02:32 Mind control techniques, including hypnosis, sensory deprivation, and interrogation, have likely existed for thousands of years, with modern sophistication added.
    • 03:26 The CIA's interest in mind control began after WWII, leading to the formation of the Central Intelligence Agency in 1947.
    • 05:32 Mind control experiments, including hypnosis and creating "Manchurian candidates," were conducted during WWII by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the precursor to the CIA.
    • 06:15 Dr. Sydney Gottlieb, a chemist, oversaw the CIA's research into drugs and behavior programs, with records destroyed in 1973.
    • 07:21 Hypnosis was used to create "dual-hide personalities" for operational use during WWII, maintaining amnesia barriers for covert assignments.
    • 09:09 Hypnosis techniques focused on narrowing attention and increasing suggestibility, used in mind control programs alongside other methods.
    • 10:45 Mind control programs aimed to condition individuals to perform actions without memory or awareness, protecting covert assignments.
    • 13:03 Projects like Bluebird, Artichoke, MKUltra, and MKSearch, spanning the 1950s to the early 1970s, involved mind control experimentation and behavioral studies.
    • 16:39 The CIA's intense interest in LSD was driven by concerns about Soviet access to it, leading to contracts with pharmaceutical companies like Eli Lilly.
    • 18:37 LSD experimentation, funded by the CIA, contributed to the Consciousness Movement and counterculture events of the 1960s.
    • 22:38 The CIA, Army, and other military branches jointly funded experiments with powerful substances on the nervous system, including hallucinogens and electroencephalography (EEG).
    • 23:18 Top-secret experiments at major U.S. institutions, funded through cutout organizations, involved mind control on metal patients and others.
    • 24:40 The Oakridge Therapy Program, operating in the '70s, aimed to help serious offenders understand and avoid violent behavior using radical techniques like defense-disrupting therapies and drugs like LSD.
    • 26:30 At the Ravens Craig estate in Montreal, funded by the CIA, Dr. Yan Cameron conducted severe experiments involving sleep therapy, psychic driving, and de-patterning, aiming to wipe out memories and induce amnesia.
    • 28:35 Dr. Ewen Cameron, a direct MK Ultra contractor, erased memories and identities using electric shock, tape loops, and drugs, successfully creating complete amnesia in documented cases.
    • 31:45 Cameron's involvement with psychiatric associations and his connection to the CIA raise questions about the ethical and political motivations behind mind control experiments.
    • 32:55 The ultimate goal of mind control projects, including MKULTRA, was to extract information and induce amnesia to protect classified information during interrogations.
    • 33:22 The Tuskegee syphilis study involved 400 black participants in rural Alabama who were actively denied treatment for syphilis, showcasing severe ethical violations.
    • 34:46 The CIA's mind control experiments, including the use of LSD, were not only ethically questionable but also deliberately covered up, involving mainstream media as a propaganda tool.
    • 37:48 Incarcerated sex offenders were subjected to LSD and other drugs as part of mind control experiments, aiming to extract confessions and manipulate behavior.
    • 42:03 The death of Frank Olson, a chemist involved in the Army chemical Corps' LSD experiments, led to a cover-up, slowing down LSD testing temporarily.
    • 46:52 CIA's safe houses in New York and San Francisco were used for drug testing, studying sexual behavior, and manipulating individuals unwittingly with LSD, involving prostitutes and one-way mirrors.
    • 48:24 The involvement of doctors under MK Ultra in experiments on unwitting civilians, violating medical ethics, raises serious ethical concerns about the extent of mind control experiments,
    • 48:52 Trauma-based mind control involves using hypnosis, drugs, fear, and terror to split the mind, allowing control of specific parts for various missions, including torture and coercion.
    • 49:20 Louis Jolyon West, an MK Ultra contractor, achieved notoriety by killing an elephant with LSD. He was involved in the UCLA Violence Project and later served as an expert witness in high-profile cases.
    • 50:57 The UCLA Violence Project aimed to implant electrodes in sex offenders' brains for tracking and immobilization. Brain electrode experiments, like those by Robert Heath, attempted to alter sexual orientation.
    • 52:35 Dr. Jose Delgado's experiments involved remote-controlling a bull's behavior through electrodes in its brain, indicating the feasibility of controlling animals or humans through brain stimulation.
    • 53:46 Some proposed psychosurgery and political control involve implanting electrodes in every person's brain for total control. Documents suggest using sound waves or electromagnetic waves to influence mental states.
    • 54:57 Non-lethal weapons, including electromagnetic weapons, can affect mental states, cause pain, confusion, and unconsciousness. The use of such weapons on unwitting civilians is a possibility.
    • 56:29 Current instances of psychiatric mind control are observed at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay, involving techniques like sensory deprivation, hooding, mock killings, waterboarding, and psychological trauma.
    • 57:51 Guantanamo Bay employs Behavioral Science and Medical teams for interrogations, using techniques like hooding, stress positions, sensory deprivation, beatings, waterboarding, sexual humiliation, and cultural degradation.
    When I was discussing this topic on Dutch 🇳🇱 Radio & TV in the early 1990s, I was ridiculed & laughed at and called "crazy" ... My DEFAULT response to them was very simple and very effective:
    • "I am only quoting declassified government sources ANYONE can check for themselves"
    And if you refuse to check these sources you are laughing at your own willful ignorance, not my research nor what I am doing ... and 9 out of 10 times the same people that laughed at me changed their tune overtime.

    I also use the: "I fully understand WHY you do not want to study this they way I did, because it is not "fun" to do ... nor "rewarding", but necessary nevertheless, to better understand how we all are manipulated! ... Psychological Warfare does exist in many forms ... this is just one aspect of it.

    Because I am aware, it is super uncomfortable for many to fully grasp the weight of these controversial topics, they're rather looking for any excuse NOT to investigate any of it ... And I do forgive them (I stated that many times!) ... Why? ... Because being "frustrated" does not help me nor others ... I just do what I can >>> and let it go ... Just planting "seeds of considerations" for those who want to listen and move on!
    • This attitude is how I can continue to do my job without feeling "drained" whatsoever.
    And years later I get vindicated, getting a different feedback from the same people who laughed at me ... Some of them remembered one of my 80+ lectures, me stating: "do not believe anything I share, just consider what I have discovered and use my sources to go out on your own unique quest for the truth".

    If you do, it may be possible you will find even more and better evidence & confirmation I gave you today ... And guess what, for SOME, that is exactly what happened! ... All because I am just a guy that ignites something bigger that is within all of us ... Something that wants to uncover what is hidden from us ... So that we can counter anything that is thrown at us and deal with it ... We are the ones that will throw sand in the NWO Machine!

    cheers,
