...targeted by covert intelligence agencies for MK-ultra style missions? When I read about mass shootings here at home or Private Psycho's killing spree I have a considerable number of perspective filters I rotate the subject around in. If something is possible its fkn possible right? So why not explore where that goes?


Example... If the US military moves towards banning soldiers from playing Call of Duty type games because of what just happened this event was a solution. The game is rigged folks. All known manner of human craft is working against We The Confused People. Within that craft can be found both the comfy chair comedy and LSD induced brainwashing with complex action conditioning complete with a rosebud trigger AND a polka dotted dress.



One 1955 MKULTRA document gives an indication of the size and range of the effort; this document refers to the study of an assortment of mind-altering substances described as follows:[23]

Substances which will promote illogical thinking and impulsiveness to the point where the recipient would be discredited in public.
Substances which increase the efficiency of mentation and perception.
Materials which will prevent or counteract the intoxicating effect of alcohol.
Materials which will promote the intoxicating effect of alcohol.
Materials which will produce the signs and symptoms of recognized diseases in a reversible way so that they may be used for malingering, etc.
Materials which will render the induction of hypnosis easier or otherwise enhance its usefulness.
Substances which will enhance the ability of individuals to withstand privation, torture and coercion during interrogation and so-called "brain-washing".
Materials and physical methods which will produce amnesia for events preceding and during their use.
Physical methods of producing shock and confusion over extended periods of time and capable of surreptitious use.
Substances which produce physical disablement such as paralysis of the legs, acute anemia, etc.
Substances which will produce "pure" euphoria with no subsequent let-down.
Substances which alter personality structure in such a way that the tendency of the recipient to become dependent upon another person is enhanced.
A material which will cause mental confusion of such a type that the individual under its influence will find it difficult to maintain a fabrication under questioning.
Substances which will lower the ambition and general working efficiency of men when administered in undetectable amounts.
Substances which promote weakness or distortion of the eyesight or hearing faculties, preferably without permanent effects.
A knockout pill which can surreptitiously be administered in drinks, food, cigarettes, as an aerosol, etc., which will be safe to use, provide a maximum of amnesia, and be suitable for use by agent types on an ad hoc basis.
A material which can be surreptitiously administered by the above routes and which in very small amounts will make it impossible for a person to perform physical activity.

I am one of the few people on this board who can claim he has been a commissioned federal agent. One of the better ways to become an FBI agent is by being a CPA. I applied with the FBI and was in the hiring process when I went with a special division of the IRS. I did admit to taking drugs on my application, too.

Ah, no problem. Ever see the movie Manchurian Candidate? That movie was based on the 50s MK-Ultra program. We spent a bunch of money to try and figure out if there was a way to create mindless assassins. The Soviets were rumored to have that tech and the US scrambled to "catch up." Now days we call it harsh interrogation, post hypnotic suggestion and manchurian candidate sleepers. A few years back it was reported that our interrogations involved MK-Ultra style drugs and conditioning methods.


Some of the cool things we learned while doing the MK-Ultra experiments is that by strapping a football helmet on a person in a straight jacket, while blasting "Your mother hates you" into the ears of a man tripping on LSD for 3 months makes 8 out of 10 subjects catatonic.

The way i see it, is what would someone have to gain from sending a soldier on a civilian kill spree?

The only conclusion i can legitimately draw is that the response to this is movement towards withdrawal and peace.

Let's say the US bars violent war video games from soldiers on deployment. What cause does that serve? Certainly not the war hawks. Let's say the US pulls out early partly due to this and rising tensions from the Koran burning and other non-Afghanistan friendly slip ups. Who gains? Agqain, not the war hawks.

The people behind this would not be behind 9-11. They wouldn't be part of the military industrial complex. Not really. If their goal is to shrink the US military presence, then they are working counter to that goal. Likely, they would not be operating an MK-ULTRA program if that were the case.

Unless the PIC believe they can pave the way to a war with Iran through a peace with Afghanistan. I'm not sure how much sense that would make. If they had the ability to create sleeper agents, why not use an Iranian National Guard to slaughter Afghani civilians. You'd get the same result of people being fed up with us occupying the country and you'd get a natural national outrage of Americans upset with Iran.

Seems like a much larger win/win with no obvious blowback to me.

Illmyrin posted:
The only thing keeping us there is the worry over the destabilizing effects of our withdrawal. This incident will have consequences and if you remember a few weeks ago we had US soldiers burning Korans in the presents of Afghans who went NUTS and attacked the base for a week. All of these types of events are part of a plan. Its nothing for a Blackwater type to put on desert cammo and light up civilians one morning so that later in the afternoon our troops become threatened. Interesting example. Remember that Blackwater crew that was burned and strung up from a Bridge in Iraq? Earlier that day, in that area, another blackwater crew killed 17 civilians from that area in a turkey shoot. The crew that got burned up was sent in to die by Prince. After that event the US increased spending on Blackwater's services by 200%... This is grand scale Agent provocation.


Let's say the US bars violent war video games from soldiers on deployment. What cause does that serve?


Illmyrin posted:
Ah, I didn't expand on the video game reference. Basically to cut them off from teamspeak/voice services. If this is used as a communications lock down as opposed to a reaction towards those sorts of games potential effect on stressed soldiers i smell a rat.

Illmyrin posted:
The goal of the Military industrial complex is not to shrink the US military's presence anywhere. Their current priority is draining our wealth and military resources. I believe our nation is doomed to be removed from the global stage. Right now, all previous US agencies of Power have turned in against us. We're to be looted, drained and starved out. So yea, these same people would very much want to provoke attacks against US soldiers.



If they had the ability to create sleeper agents, why not use an Iranian National Guard to slaughter Afghani civilians. You'd get the same result of people being fed up with us occupying the country and you'd get a natural national outrage of Americans upset with Iran.


Illmyrin posted:
We've got sleepers in that sort of situation that don't need to be brainwashed. We've spent the last 5 years paying former Al-CIAduh fighters to dress like Iranians and deliver British made Liquid Copper IEDs to Iraqi insurgents. You'd have a hard time finding a US soldier who'd take cash to murder civilians since the first thing he'd think about is being responsible for retaliations against his brothers in arms. Hence the mind control.



Seems like a much larger win/win with no obvious blowback to me.

Like it or not projects like MK-Ultra and operation Northwoods do in fact exist

That's no conspiracy, they're right out in the open

That evidence alone you'd think would cast a shadow of doubt on our government's integrity, yet "the people" such as a few of you would rather wave your American flag and tell yourselves our federal government can do no harm, even though it does do harm on a daily basis

Yes, such projects existed. And I firmly believe that programs similar to MK-Ultra exist today. But the case of Staff Sgt. Psycho doesn't fit the MK-Ultra profile. Illmyrin should know this.
Ultimately, MK-Ultra-esque programming just isn't necessary in order to create Staff Sgt. Psycho. All of the ingredients already exist in the situation in question. I don't think many of you grasp how many ALMOST-SSG-Psycho scenarios there have been in the past several years. It's kind of a perfect-storm phenomenon. Or maybe a "there but for the grace of God go I" type of thing. War is hell. It is difficult to explain this adequately. The psychology of war is very similar to the psychology of incarceration. Repeatedly being faced with decisions you never dreamed of making...choices that, no matter what you choose, may have severe and acute consequences...constitutes a level of prolonged stress that creates near perfect environments for events like these. Quite frankly, I'm a bit surprised that situations such as these don't happen a bit more often.
MK-Ultra was what it was. But people like Illy are too busy sifting things through their filters to see what is right in front of their faces. Make no mistake about it: Illmyrin sees what he sees because he WANTS to see it. Not because it makes sense. Not because it fits. Because he WANTS to see it. It allows him to cognitively reinforce the perception that he has spent so much time, energy and effort building.

It's much easier to not stage anything and not condition anyone. You don't get it. Why stage anything or condition anyone when all you have to do is just sit back and let WAR happen? It truly is that simple. Prolong a conflict for 10 years. Subject thousands of soldiers to multiple lengthy intervals of combat stress. It takes care of itself. No distinct program needed. Only a human in the midst of combat. It's bound to happen. No MK-Ultra needed. In fact, that type of methodical and distinct programming is contra-indicated.

Because you don't need to time them to fit a purpose. "Usable" events take place over there with regularity. Could be a psycho rampage, could be a holy-book in a burn-pit. Could be a drone-fired hellfire at a funeral. Could be this, could be that. There is a long list of usable incidents that take place within a usable time margin. It's like a grab-bag. See something you like? Grab it and roll with it.

What if what you want is something other than what's in the grab bag? I don't know how much effort I should put into arguing against your premise. You're basically saying why would anyone want a car if they could walk.

No. I didn't basically say that. Don't simplify what I'm saying. I'm saying shit happens frequently. It gets used when it needs to get used.
I'll be anecdotal. In early '07, a battalion from the 4th BCT of the 1st Cavalry Division was responsible for the neighborhoods of Ghazaliyah and Shu'lla in NW Baghdad. On one particular morning, a large number of Iraqi Police, Iraqi Army and Iraqi National Police were congregated around a checkpoint on a main street in Ghazaliyah. Two platoons from a US company were also present. As a matter of unfortunate timing, a group of 6-8 insurgent personnel chose that same morning to come into the hood for some shenanigans. Three hour firefight that pushed the group across the hood into a large farm-field, at which time they took cover in a large isolated house that was inhabited by several women, children and a few old people. Iraqi and US forces took fire from that house for 30 minutes. Apaches and A-10s took alternating runs, culminating in a hell-fire through the roof. Three civilians killed, 8 seriously injured. No weapons found in the dwelling. Three adult males between the ages of 18-40 detained but released within 48 hours. Did you hear about this? No. Could you have heard about it if the timing was right? Yes.
This kind of stuff...usable incidents...happens much much MUCH more frequently than most people would imagine. There are so many usable incidents that, while they may vary in content, are very similar if not identical in the manner in which they can be used.
If you want a car and can't find a car, find a boat and call it car.

Edit: Let me be clear. MK-Ultra, as an explanation for causality, is simply over-used by certain people. In most discussions I have regarding MK-Ultra in present-day scenarios, the other person uses the following logic: 1) MK-Ultra existed and might still exist!!! 2) 100% Proof that this was MK-Ultra!!!. Admit it, you've seen PP Forum thread titles.

I don't know what PP threads are. confused

Do you understand that I already understand what you're trying to say and agree that there are plenty of easy news worthy headlines to choose from? I get it. That's not something I haven't known.

I'll ask again. Knowing that it exists, how can someone discount it's being used on people who are the easiest targets of forced drugging and mind control(mk ultra research also influenced our military training methods of breaking people to rebuild them)??

Knowing that MK-Ultra existed is not an adequate reason to believe that it is being used now. My earlier post touched upon the faulty "It existed so that proves they are using it for scenario X" logic.
I'm familiar with the research. Fortunately, our military no longer breaks people to rebuild them. Or perhaps that is unfortunate. thinking
I'd also argue that there are some other populations in some other environments that are now easier targets of forced drugging and mind control. In many ways the military is the same animal that it was during the development of MK-Ultra, but in many important ways it is a different animal. Ultimately, I cannot discount the possibility of the existence of some type of program that bears some similarities to what MK-Ultra was. And if something exists, I cannot discount the reality that it would require human subjects. But that by no means leads be to believe that events such as the one in question has anything to do with such a program.
