American veterans managed to access documents proving that some medical experiments were carried out during the Cold War. Mysterious research and experiments conducted on American soldiers and veterans from Vietnam? Certainly it won’t be a surprise if the communist authorities of Ho Chi Mihn were accused of similar actions. In this case, however, it was the U.S. government that was responsible for everything. Few days ago, a group of veterans from Vietnam won the lawsuit with the U.S. government. They forced the Department of Veterans Affairs to give them the documents about the research conducted on soldiers. Experiments were conducted during the Cold War by the CIA which received aid from former Nazi scientists working for the agency. The estimated number of veterans used for experimentation was 7 800 on whom about 400 types of tests were conducted, including LSD, psychedelic substances, mescaline, as well as mustard gas.
The operation under the codename "Paperclip", aimed to investigate the effects of various substances on the human mind, some also wanted to develop a new recipe for truth serum. The former members of SS and Nazi party participated in these experiments. After the Second World War they received amnesty for their help. The operation name is related to the fact that many personal files of the project participants were clipped with immigration documents.
Veterans won the lawsuit, because, according to what the judge Jacqueline Scott Corley said, the government didn’t inform the veterans neither about the chemicals administered nor about the influence on the body. It is worth mentioning that those research programs took place long before the outbreak of the war in Vietnam. In the 50’s of the 20th century, there were projects with code names such as "Bluebird," "Artichoke" and "MK Ultra".
The "MK Ultra" project seems to be the most interesting one. Its aim was to develop effective techniques of mind control and to program people’s brains so that they would be able to unconsciously commit a planned attack. Successful completion of the project would create great opportunities for infiltration and carrying out false flag operations. Nobody knows whether it was successful or not, but we can find a few reports on people whose minds were totally controlled. The assassin from the Aurora cinema James Holmes could be such a person?
