Project Artichoke

MKULTRA's meaner older sibling. "Can we get a man to kill against his will?" — the actual memo.

Project Artichoke (1951-55, preceding MKULTRA): documented in released memos including the famous January 1952 question — 'Can we get control of an individual to the point where he will do our bidding against his will and even against fundamental laws of nature, such as self-preservation?' Methods listed: hypnosis, forced morphine addiction and withdrawal, LSD. The program's own words are the file; no interpretation is required. Links Bluebird (predecessor), MKULTRA (successor), and the Manchurian question it stated in writing.
