«Breaking News» CIA used mind control experiments on dogs and humans during the 1960s

The CIA created remote control dogs by surgically implanting electrodes in their brains in 1963, newly released documents reveal. 

US officials have been trying to hide the top secret 'behaviour modification' files for decades, but they have now been released under the country's Freedom of Information laws. 

Experimenters implanted devices inside the skulls of six canines and used electrical stimulation to guide them through an open field, making them run, turn and stop.

The top secret experiments were part of the infamous mind control project MKUltra.

The top-secret CIA program conducted hundreds of experiments sometimes on unwitting citizens to assess the potential use of LSD.

They also used other drugs for mind control, information gathering and psychological torture.

John Greenewald, founder of The Black Vault, a site specialising in declassified government records spent twenty years trying to obtain the documents.

The files from the infamous project reveal the government agency also tested humans with psychotropic drugs, electrical shocks and radio waves. 

'The specific aim of the research program was to examine the feasibility of controlling the behaviour of a dog, in an open field, by means of remotely stimulated electrical stimulation of the brain,' the documents state. 

'Such a system depends for its effectiveness on two properties of electrical stimulation delivered to certain deep lying structures of the dog brain: the well-known reward effect, and a tendency for such stimulation to initiate and maintain locomotion in a direction which is accompanied by the continued delivery of stimulation.'

The researchers first tried out a plastic helmet but then settled on a new surgical technique that involved 'embedding the electrode entirely within a mound of dental cement on the skull', the documents state. 

They ran the leads just below the dog's skin to a point between the shoulder blades, where the leads are brought to the surface and affixed to a standard dog harness. 

Some of the dogs suffered side effects from the experiments, including infections caused by the head wound where they embedded the electrode into their brain. 

In one letter an individual, whose name had been redacted, writes to a doctor with advice about experiments in animal mind control. 

The writer of the letter proved to be an expert in the field of animal mind control and had undertaken the successful creation of six remote control dogs.   

'As you know, I spent about three years working in the research area of rewarding electrical stimulation of the brain,' the person writes.

Scientists at first used a plastic helmet (schematic pictured) that delivered the stimulation to the dog's brain but then moved on to embedding the electrode within a mound of dental cement into the skull 

'In the laboratory, we performed a number of experiments with rats; in the open field, we employed dogs of several breeds.'

The letter writer characterises the work with remote-controlling dogs as a success, describing 'a demonstrated procedure for controlling the free-field behaviours of an unrestrained dog.'

The final report, published in 1965, titled 'Remote Control Behaviour with Rewarding Electrical Stimulation of the Brain', was attached to the letter.

By 1967, it seems unlikely that remote-controlled dogs were ever used in the field, as the letter writer outlines some of the limitations and challenges to any follow-up program going forward.   

The files are not the only 'Behavioural Modification' document released by The Black Vault involving animals. 

Numerous other files pertain to budgeting and acquisition for animal experimentation. 

One declassified file details, with heavy redactions, the practical possibilities of training and equipping cats for 'foreign situation' field work.

WHAT WAS MKULTRA

In 1953, the then director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officially approved project MKUltra. 

The code name MKUltra was given to the illegal program which performed experiments on human subjects.

It was intended to help the US government keep up with experiments they believed the Soviets were conducting during the Cold War.

They hoped to achieve this aim through 'the use of biological and chemical materials in altering human behaviour,' CIA director Stansfield Turner testified in 1977.

The program engaged in many illegal activities; in particular it used unwitting U.S. and Canadian citizens as its test subjects, which led to controversy regarding its legitimacy. 

MKUltra used numerous methodologies to manipulate people’s mental states and alter brain functions, including the surreptitious administration of drugs (especially LSD) and other chemicals, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as various forms of torture. 

Footage has since emerged of experiments conducted into the potential of weaponising LSD as a method of controlling or subduing enemy forces.

Since that time, conspiracy theorists have expanded their claims about the kinds of techniques agencies like the CIA or others may have experimented with.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
