Top secret government programs

   I am sure that some of you like to make jokes about the government secretly doing experiments on unknowing citizens or that doctors have  the cure for cancer but wont give it to the citizens because they can withhold it and make much more cash on chemotherapy and radiation or even that Norway does not exist. What if I told you that one of these theories has actual proof behind it and it actually is confirmed to be true?  I am talking of MK-ULTRA a secret CIA program that has done some awful things.

It is said that the program was commissioned back in the early 1950's making it a product of red scares back during the Cold War.  Official documents are hard to come by since the CIA went through great lengths to get rid of them.  What is known about the program however is that the CIA was attempting to gain brainwashing techniques and better methods of torture.  Much of what is known comes from a hearing in the late 1970's.  The CIA was authorized to use LSD on unsuspecting citizens to utilize its potential in chemical and biological warfare.  They were trying to find ways of brainwashing and make it easier to interrogate people.  No medical personnel administered the drugs and some were terminal cancer patients.  Two deaths are reported because some of the tests they conducted were lethal. One researcher had his drink spiked and needed medical attention and when he went to get treatment he conveniently seemed to fall to his death This is what we know from a de-classified secret program they did in the 1950's.  The records are mostly lost or stolen but we know that the CIA is not being held accountable.  Easy google searches can find articles of victims releasing statements about their involvement.

I firmly believe research and secret programs are being done on citizens like in MK-ULTRA.  The CIA did these terrible things and then released the info about the program.  If this is what they chose to release and declassify then what ever they are really working on is worse than anything we could imagine.  Several of the shuttle missions that NASA sent to space in the early days of the program were classified for the military or Department of Defense.  The government is working on something for sure and it is impossible to know for sure.  MK-ULTRA proves that the government will sacrifice its own citizens in order to potentially legally experiment on them.
