No wonder #Ukraine has been so popular with the CIA since the 1940’s:

A perfect population to test out those secret MK-ULTRA brainwashing experiments on (among other things) !

Don’t forget that the CIA’s whole MK-ULTRA program was conceived in the warped mind of Allen Dulles — supposedly to mirror the #Communists advanced brainwashing programs.

Of course, the CIA just had to try dosing unwitting people with LSD — “because those evil Russkies are doing it, so we must do the same!”

Were we supplying the CIA’s Banderite insurgent armies w/ a steady supply of LSD in the 50’s and 60’s, to train their minds for war w/ USSR?

#JFK became aware of this MK-UKTRA brainwashing program after he fired Dulles and put a stop to it in 1963! 🧠😵‍💫

After #JFK’s death, his brother Sen. Ted Kennedy, continued to investigate the CIA’s MK UKTRA program well into the 1970’s.

Sen. Kennedy’s efforts resulted in a great deal of information on these sinister secret programs being revealed to the public for the first time.

Here’s the 1977 Senate Select Committee on Intelligence’s Report on the MK ULTRA program. (173 pages)

This investigation never would have happened without the efforts of Sen. Ted Kennedy. We have him to thank for what we now know about MK ULTRA.

Joe #Biden was on that committee, incidentally…

On page 43 of the Report, the central truth of the matter is revealed under oath:

The Russians never had any such brainwashing drugs, nor was MK UKTRA justified in any way.

The Navy and CIA knew this, but continued the sick experiments on human subjects.

Back to the original question: did the CIA do MK ULTRA experiments on unwitting assets in other countries, specifically #Ukraine?

In the 1977 hearings the CIA gave a word salad answer but did admit “we occasionally looked at foreign human experimentation,” but didn’t say where

We will probably never know for sure, as the “elimination of our holdings” is spook-speak for “we destroyed all our files on that subject.”

“No further collection effort is required”

Translation: the CIA is unaccountable, even to Congress.
