Bluebird, Artichoke, MKULTRA

The Manchurian Candidate is a film about things that really happened. The American government deliberately brainwashed people for decades. The CIA had programs for this called Bluebird, then Artichoke, then MKULTRA. One fascinating aspect of this is the limited hangout that’s going on with the film. The film came out in 1962 and is so “out there” that most people would think “It’s just a Hollywood film” and be done with it. The benefit to the government is that if anyone ever says “Hey, the Manchurian Candidate is real!” then people who’ve seen the movie say, “That’s just a Hollywood thing. Pure fiction.”
More like pure public relations genius.
Rigorous Intuition has some very good information about Sirhan Sirhan and the assassination of Robert Kennedy.
What I find really interesting about all of this is the timing. These programs got started in the early 1950’s or maybe even the late 1940’s when you consider the planning that had to be done to make the programs “live” sometime in the 1950’s. Wait a second, the CIA has a name, budget, and program for all of this. It’s called Operation Paperclip and the timing of this effort is awfully coincidental considering when the CIA started doing mind control experiments on Americans for the purpose of assassination.
There’s a reason why the USA was sponsoring acid research in the 1950’s and 60’s.
If these things were done 40 or 50 years ago , what’s happening now?
Update: There are 11 boxes of unclassified MKULTRA documents sitting somewhere in Washington D.C.
