MK ULTRA - CIA Mind Control Experiment
It’s the 1950s and Communist spies are everywhere. The cold war is heating up and it looks as though the Soviet Union might gain the upper hand on American Democracy. What would you do? With the hopes of discovering a “truth serum,” the CIA decided they needed to secretively dose unwitting U.S. and Canadian citizens with LSD, and then interrogate and occasionally torture the participants.
The CIA paid hospitals, prisons and universities for their participation and their silence. In 1973, CIA director Richard Helms ordered that all documents related to MKUltra be destroyed. While the conspiracy was eventually uncovered, nobody involved in the project “remembered” the details and a complete timeline of events remains incomplete.

Operation Snow White: Church of Scientology VS. US Government
During the 1970s, 5,000 covert agents from L. Ron Hubbard’s Church of Scientology conspired to perform the largest infiltration of the U.S. government in American history. The church infiltrated 136 organizations including the IRS, the DEA, foreign embassies and other government agencies. They installed wiretaps and stole hundreds of documents with the hopes of protecting their church and from paying millions of dollars in taxes.
The U.S. government fought back. In July of 1977, the FBI organized a raid of various Scientology locations involving 156 agents. The raid uncovered the group’s illegal actions against the government as well as additional conspiracies against other perceived enemies of the church. On December 6, 1979, Operation Snow White ended when Mary Sue Hubbard, wife of L. Ron Hubbard, and 10 other high-ranking Scientologists received five-year prison sentences. L. Ron Hubbard remained an “unindicted co-conspirator” and spent the rest of his life in hiding.
CIA Assassinations
In 1975, after the Watergate scandal, Senator Frank Church helped form the precursor to the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Commonly referred to as the Church Committee, their purpose was to investigate the CIA and FBI to ensure that they were operating within the law. The Committee quickly discovered that the CIA had started a hit man business.
The CIA were responsible for the assassinations of Mossadegh in Iran, Allende (below) in Chile, as well as other leaders and revolutionaries in Central and South America, Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Asia. They made their assassinations appear like car accidents, suicides, cancers, and heart attacks. When their declassified “Heart Attack Gun” wasn’t necessary, they would just shoot their targets with actual bullets. While all of this is part of the congressional record, it’s still common for people to laugh this one off as a nutty conspiracy theory.
Operation Mockingbird - CIA Propaganda Machine
In 1948, Frank Wisner was appointed director of the Office of Special Projects and told to create an organization that was capable of producing propaganda and engaging in economic warfare as part of the global war against Soviet Communism. The CIA took control of the office in the 1950s and maintained a secret campaign to influence media around the world for almost 25 years.
Wisner “owned” respected members of The New York Times, Newsweek, CBS and other media outlets. By the 1950s there were around 3,000 CIA employees and dozens of large global media outlets working to maintain a complex propaganda machine. Wisner, who was always looking for new ways to convince the public of the dangers of communism, facilitated the 1954 animated Hollywood production of George Orwell’s Animal Farm. The Church Committee exposed the conspiracy in 1975 and calculated that misinforming the world cost taxpayers $265 million a year.
Operation Paperclip- Nazi Scientists find employment in America
In 1945, the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency was given authorization to offer over 1,500 German scientists, technicians, and engineers from Nazi Germany and other countries employment in America. President Truman agreed to the program with the explicit instructions that it only includes those who were not found “to have been a member of the Nazi party, and more than a nominal participant in its activities, or an active supporter of Nazi militarism.”
This meant that Wernher von Braun, Arthur Rudolph, and Hubertus Strughold, who were listed as a “menace to the security of the Allied Forces,” would not be allowed to find new employment in America. The Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency decided these men were of vital importance to the development of the U.S. rocket program, created false employment and political biographies for the scientists and completely destroyed all evidence connecting them to the Nazi war machine.
Bohemian Grove Cult
The mysteries surrounding the Bohemian Grove in Mont Rio, California, have been a favorite topic amongst conspiracy theorists for many years. The stories usually involve rich and powerful men meeting in the woods every year where they engage in pagan rituals and worship a giant stone owl. The owl reportedly plays voice recordings of member Walter Cronkite. Sounds pretty kooky right? Well, it turns out that CBS, NBC and ABC have confirmed the existence of the Grove.
The Bohemian Club was formed in 1872 and quickly received attention and funding from wealthy businessmen. In 1942, the Grove hosted a meeting for the Manhattan Project that led to the creation of the atomic bomb. While it’s true that the most powerful men in the world come here and perform strange rituals in front of a giant owl, its mostly just a place for powerful men to behave like drunken frat boys.
