Inside the CIA's secret squad of adorable assassins dubbed 'Project 94'

A secret CIA project conducted bizarre experiments on wildlife in the hopes of creating an army of 'animal assassins' that could eliminate America's enemies.

Called Subproject 94, the chilling plot saw scientists implant electrodes into the brains of rats, cats, dogs, monkeys, donkeys, guinea pigs, and birds in order to control their movements through electrical impulses during the 1960s.

It was all part of MKUltra, an infamous CIA program led by chemist Sidney Gottlieb to develop mind control techniques during the Cold War.

Declassified records about MKUltra have revealed how Americans were drugged and tortured during dozens of different experiments more than 60 years ago.

The subjects included criminals, mental patients, and drug addicts, but Army soldiers and average citizens were also given drugs like LSD and cocaine without their knowledge.

However, more declassified files delving into Gottlieb's oversight of these dangerous experiments have revealed that people weren't the only weapons the CIA was planning to use against the Soviet Union.

Heavily redacted documents from the 1960s show that the CIA were looking to send 'payloads' of these remote-controlled animals to carry out 'direct executive actions' - which some experts now believe meant assassinating officials who opposed the US.

Eventually, scientists working on Subproject 94 planned to take what they learned from animals and apply them to people,

No way MKVoltron is real. That’ a conspiracy theory.

average citizens were also given drugs like LSD and cocaine without their knowledge.

Even if that did happen, surely the would not accost you late n the night in your own home, hold your head down as they injected you, and say “Is he awake?”

Asking for a friend.

Using brain implants in ‘rats, are these ‘rats doing the bidding of the CIA? CAT scans could be required for all POS ‘rat criminals. Lets get to the root cause of their depravity.

My cat always claimed to be retired CIA. Now I’m starting to think he might be telling the truth.

"Treadstone" in the Jason Bourne movies represented "Operation Artichoke", which was a CIA program to move junior military officers from military service into roles as assassins; the specific task of that training was to remove moral qualms they had about taking someone's life.

Whatever else one may have thought about the series, this seemed to have been portrayed rather well.

Reading the article I focused in on the budget.

$55,000 in 1960 got you a super secret government research program trying to fine tune “mind control.”

And then I thought to myself, if we attempted to have such a program today, what would the costs look like? LOL

So now we have so many taking mind altering chemicals voluntarily, and are being subjected to involuntarily brain washing propaganda all the time from schools, news, media, and advertising.....could this be a factor in why there are so many “crazies” running around?

MKULTRA techniques are used by your local psychiatrists to implant violent urges in people and then turn them loose. Its no coincidence that all these shooters are on psychotropic drugs. More violence means better mental health budgets. More treatments mean more violence and insanity.

Why go through all that trouble when you can just have people work for Tim Walz for a couple of years?

I think that was a mistake. You want folks to have moral qualms about taking innocent life but to not have qualms about taking the lives of those who are provably guilty and a threat to your country and your fellow countrymen. It goes part and parcel of God’s charge to the governments of the world that they be swords...lifted up against the evils of the world of men! There must be guard dogs appointed to protect flocks and cattle that are the nations of men!

I haven't read any of Robert Ludlum's novels, but the movies clearly show that Bourne (prior to his epiphany and his denunciaion of his own work) was clearly targeting people who were no threat to anyone.

(I think the points you make are food for a thoughtful discussion on the topic, but the incidents in the film were clearly instances where the agent and his handlers were far off the reservation.)

Some online discussions and content suggest a connection between Leonard Cohen and MKUltra, primarily based on claims made by Ann Diamond
.
Ann Diamond’s Claims:

Ann Diamond is a self-proclaimed MKUltra survivor and whistleblower who has written about her experiences in books such as “My Cold War”.
Diamond claims that she was a victim of MKUltra experiments conducted by Dr. Donald Ewen Cameron at McGill University in Canada.

What I noticed is that the CIA hid their involvement in this research by camouflaging it as a medical research grant.

I wonder how much that is still going on. Hiding the research to create national security weapons that can be called “medical research”. Research that is forbidden in the US because it is too dangerous, but the US funds it in labs in other places such as Wuhan and Ukraine. And in Ukraine the labs were not just researching dangerous biological agents but were also researching delivery systems and had enough of the toxins and a specifically-large-capacity delivery system via drones to use for military purposes.
