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.

history.com/mkultra-operat…
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? Image
#JFK became aware of this MK-UKTRA brainwashing program after he fired Dulles and put a stop to it in 1963! 🧠😵‍💫 Image
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. Image
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.

intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/…
Joe #Biden was on that committee, incidentally… Image
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. Image
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 Image
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.

The origins of #NazisInUkraine began with the “Germanization” of the Ukrainian population — with a special emphasis on children — during the #Nazi occupation of #Ukraine in WWII. Image
More on how the Ukrainians were “Germanized” by #Nazis in a radical re-education campaign and transformation of society. Image
“Himmler placed himself at the forefront of ‘Blood and Soil” social engineering in what was to be a new, thoroughly “Germanized” land.

This documentary, produced by Ukrainian nationalists, tells the story of how and why the OUN-B emerged in the decade before #WWII.

The film is propaganda, but interesting nonetheless if you strive to understand both points of view in this 100-year war.

Anyone else notice at 16 minutes in, the image of a 1938 cable from the “Ukrainian Bureau” of London?

Hmmm… was British intelligence working with these OUN-B Ukrainian nationalists prior to the outbreak of #WWII? 🧐

Would make a lot of sense, actually. Image
These Ukrainian nationalist propaganda films are almost hilarious in their revisionism.

Notice how they gloss right over their collaboration with #Nazi Germany and weave a narrative of how they lived in total peace and harmony with their Jewish population… 🤥

In this vintage 3-hour interview with historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Special Assistant to #JFK, he makes clear that President Kennedy intended to end US involvement in the #VietnamWar
after winning re-election in 1964.

(Skip to around 17:00) 👇🏽
Schlesinger goes into more detail on Kennedy and Vietnam around 56:00 when a caller asks him to elaborate further.
Thank heavens for @cspan. In the 80s and 90s, before podcasting was a thing, this was the only place to see an in-depth, longform 3 hour interview like this one. 👏🏼

If you learned in school that the 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 and 🇫🇷 beat the #Nazis in #WWII, you were lied to. 🤥
I grew up during the Cold War and this is what I was taught in American public schools.

They were teaching us propaganda, not actual history.
Had an interesting conversation this week about the fake history we were taught in school (among other things) w/ @tjmac87 and RT’s @RealCalebMaupin.

Some of you will find this relatable:

This video gets most historical details correct, except for the part about “British and Americans punished the wrongdoers after #WWII.”

How Britain and America Inspired #Nazi #Eugenics

Gotta bring this one back for an encore! 😝 Image
Eugenics and race played significant roles in Ukrainian interwar nationalism, yet remain largely unstudied.

The Ukrainian nationalists’ understanding of the racial makeup of their imagined community was contradictory as they struggled to reconcile their desire for racial purity

The #NazisInUkraine have been trained, armed, and funded by the CIA since the 1940s as an anti-#communist guerilla terrorist militia. They are the Mujahideen of #Ukraine.

As you might recall, the CIA's creation of the Mujahideen to fight commies didn't work out so well for us.
For those who might need a brief history refresher on the CIA's work with the Mujahideen and Osama bin Laden.

Here's how the CIA created the same kind of terror cell in Ukraine -- a Frankenstein monster that pre-dated the Mujahideen by 30 years and led us to the present #RussiaUkraineWar :
