The Secret History Of Fort Detrick, The CIA’s Base For Mind Control Experiments
Politico ^ | 09/15/19 | STEPHEN KINZER

In 1954, a prison doctor in Kentucky isolated seven black inmates and fed them “double, triple and quadruple” doses of LSD for 77 days straight. No one knows what became of the victims. They may have died without knowing they were part of the CIA’s highly secretive program to develop ways to control minds—a program based out of a little-known Army base with a dark past, Fort Detrick.

Suburban sprawl has engulfed Fort Detrick, an Army base 50 miles from Washington in the Maryland town of Frederick. Seventy-six years ago, however, when the Army selected Detrick as the place to develop its super-secret plans to wage germ warfare, the area around the base looked much different. In fact, it was chosen for its isolation. That’s because Detrick, still thriving today as the Army’s principal base for biological research and now encompassing nearly 600 buildings on 13,000 acres, was for years the nerve center of the CIA’s hidden chemical and mind control empire.

Detrick is today one of the world’s cutting-edge laboratories for research into toxins and antitoxins, the place where defenses are developed against every plague, from crop fungus to Ebola. Its leading role in the field is widely recognized. For decades, though, much of what went on at the base was a closely held secret. Directors of the CIA mind control program MK-ULTRA, which used Detrick as a key base, destroyed most of their records in 1973. Some of its secrets have been revealed in declassified documents, through interviews and as a result of congressional investigations. Together, those sources reveal Detrick’s central role in MK-ULTRA and in the manufacture of poisons intended to kill foreign leaders.

In 1942, alarmed by reports that Japanese forces were waging germ warfare in China, the Army decided to launch a secret...

We should invite one of our own, that was exposed to MK-ULTRA many years ago.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Babies, too. I read decades ago that they had crates of baby kidneys they used for, oh, their god Satan-knows-what....

I know it well. In fact, I drove past it today. It is actually a very nice place to work, being home to several research institutions and located in Frederick, which still has a small town atmosphere.

Of course, if you wander over to the dark side of YouTube, you can find those conspiracy videos talking about Detrick’s seedy past, namely its involvement in offensive biowarfare research. And some of the buildings where that research took place are still standing.

OF COURSE they did.

I think they're still active with this program. What better way to make sure we have mass shootings.

Bad stuff, indeed. “Sporting purpose” is an abomination.

Research into the effects of LSD and the like was fairly open in the 1950s and 60s. The drugs were legal and there had been ongoing research using them for decades prior.

The Ft Detrick program was highlighted in a movie, “Frontiers of the Mind,” produced in the 60’s. I recall it well because we showed it to introductory psychology classes I helped teach.

Some secret program, when any number of 18 year olds had seen a documentary about it..

At 15 I took 3 painkillers at school. I overdosed. In order to not get into trouble I said I tried to commit suicide (I was 15 and my dad was crazy.

Put into asylum for a month or so. I came within a hair of getting electric shock therapy. Instead they gave me insulin shock.

Then they gave me a whit3 uniform. white Shoes and the keys to the place. Yeah that really happened.

I saw what electric shock therapy did. Horrific. Like an execution without dying.

Lyme disease was described in the 17th century. Ötzi the Iceman, a 5,300-year-old mummy, had lyme disease.

A lot of this came through disciples of Crowley, but some of our political leaders imported more Satanism after WW2 through Operation Paperclip. That’s where the SRA of MK-Ultra and Monarch programs apparently originated.

Lyme complex is weaponized Lyme disease, developed in Plum Island and Fort Detrick. It is a mixture of a virus that suppresses the immune system, a mycoplasma and bacterial and protozoa parasites with round worm to protect the mix from doxycycline. It was inserted in ticks and open air tested off shore on Plum Island in various imported tick species.

Lyme disease complex is a bio weapon created by the USA and released by pure incompetence on our populace by the idiots in charge.

It seems ticks like migratory birds that use tick island as a stop over.

Lyme complex currently is spreading across the country at a rate of 300,000 cases a year.

There is a very complex protocol to cure it that is not approved by the CDC, so if you get Lyme and you do not do your own research, you are screwed for life.

I suggest anyone with Lyme or chronic fatigue look up the Kentucky Lyme Association for the latest non PC information.

There is a lot of people hurting out there and the standard Doctors do NOT have the cure.

Only 40% of tick bytes that transmit Lyme complex cause the bullseye rash. The CDC protocol of two doses of doxycycline prophilactus does NOT work.

I am much more worried about mind control coming from the liberal media, social media, and big academia.
