Project MK Ultra and Other Shocking CIA Programs

2. Project QKHILLTOP

Back in the 50s, which seems to be the dark ages of basic human rights, morals and ethics for the CIA, project QKHILLTOP was created by the Central Intelligence Agency. The whole point of it all was to study brainwashing techniques developed by the Chinese.

Most of the early studies were performed by one Dr. Harold Wolff who requested information from the Central Intelligence Agency. He wanted to know any information they had or they could get their hands on regarding to threats, imprisonment, deprivation, coercion, humiliation, torture, brainwashing, hypnosis, and any combination between these. He didn’t even care if chemical agents were used or not.

He was planning, however, to use secret drugs and brain-damaging procedures in his studies, hoping to see how these affected the brain functions of the subjects and their moods. This, of course, sounds like it’s not exactly legal, moral, ethical and in accordance to human rights, but that wasn’t exactly a big worry back then.
