This week, an active-duty CIA officer, James Erdman III, appeared before a Senate committee led by Senator Rand Paul, alleging that officials inside the intelligence community interfered with COVID origin investigations and hid key information from both Congress and the public.
About 20 minutes into the hearing, Erdman took a detour that most were not expecting.
He stated, “The CIA also took back 40 boxes of JFK files and MKULTRA files being processed for declassification by DNI Gabbard. The legislative and executive branches will continue to be misinformed if this type of behavior is not addressed.”
This reignited attention surrounding MKULTRA, the CIA’s infamous Cold War mind-control program.
According to Luna, these files were not supposed to even exist: “The CIA famously said that all [MKULTRA] documents had been released and others were destroyed, so these are allegedly those documents that apparently never existed.”
A little background on this… In 1953, MKULTRA was a top-secret CIA project described as a behavioral engineering program where tactics, LSD, and other substances were used in truth serum mind-control experiments. These experiments were often used on their own men, without their knowledge.
The goal was to weaken individuals and induce confessions with the use of psychological torture, brainwashing, and other techniques. This program is said to have been dismantled in 1973, but it may still be in existence and running under a different name.
Representative Anna Paulina Luna publicly demanded that these MKULTRA and JFK files be returned within 24 hours and threatened subpoenas if the agency refused.
If these records had already been ordered declassified, why were they suddenly taken back under CIA control? What exactly are they trying to keep from the public eye?
