MKUltra
Also called: MKULTRA · Project MK-ULTRA
A real mind-control experiment program the CIA ran from the 1950s to the 1970s.In this narrative it becomes the seed of the larger backstory called Monarch programming.

Established facts
MKUltra was a real mind-control experiment program the CIA ran from 1953 to 1973.It sought ways to control the human mind through drugs like LSD, hypnosis, and sensory deprivation.It had about 149 subprojects and even used electricity, radiation, and surgery.In 1973, the CIA director destroyed most related records upon retiring.Its existence came to light through a 1974 New York Times report, and the US Congress opened an investigation the following year.President Clinton apologized in 1995, not to MKUltra victims, but to victims of human radiation experiments.
Only the first box is confirmed by documents. Further along, the evidence shrinks to a single photo, a single scene.
In this narrativeHow to control people with drugs
The CIA tried to use LSD as a truth serum on enemy prisoners1.Temporarily and permanently altering a person's personality was also a goal1.It also considered dispersing it over enemy airspace to cause mass mental derangement1.Creating 'robot agents' with their emotions erased was also one of its purposes1.The list of substances the CIA sought to develop ran to 17 items1.Experiments in erasing or implanting memories were also carried out alongside these1.
In this narrativeMengele and Monarch programming
Some writers trace MKUltra's roots to Josef Mengele, the Nazi concentration-camp physician1.The claim is that Mengele entered the United States through Operation Paperclip and continued mind-control research there1.Writer Fritz Springmeier calls him 'the father of Monarch programming'1.This claim describes a 'technique of splitting personality through torture and trauma' that Mengele is said to have directed1.But unlike the MKUltra records confirmed by Congress, this part rests on a single unverified book1.
In this narrativeWhat really happened, and where the story grew from
The Namu Wiki entry summarizes only the parts Congress confirmed1.LSD research, the death of Dr.Frank Olson, and Timothy Leary's experiments are within it1.The exact number of victims and the content of the experiments became unknowable once the records were destroyed1.This gap becomes the opening where backstories like Monarch programming grow1.In effect, one real mind-control program gave birth to an unverified expanded version.
