The Department of Homeland Security\u2019s plans to occupy an old psychiatric hospital in the Washington D.C. area have slowly been moving forward, despite the project\u2019s enormous projected cost.<\/p>\n

The mammoth governmental entity, which has come to umbrella the offices of the Border Patrol Agency, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, FEMA, the abhorrent TSA, and even the Coast Guard since its creation in 2002, is working to consolidate all of its agencies within one campus at a cost of $4.5 billion.<\/p>\n
Little-reported, however, is the facility\u2019s history of being used to carry out mind-altering and brainwashing experimentation for the CIA (then known as the OSS) on unwitting mental patients, a clandestine program better known as MKUltra.<\/p>\n
The primary goals of the MKUltra experiments were to test the effects of drugs, namely hallucinogens, and other forms of psychotherapy \u2014 including electroshock therapy \u2014 on humans, and to research and perfect methods of torture which could best be used to create Manchurian candidates, or mind-controlled persons, who could be programmed to carry out any number of harmful acts, up to and including assassinating presidents of the United States.<\/p>\n
A New York Times article written in August 1977<\/a> reported that the CIA used more than 80 facilities to carry out the hellish MKUltra projects, \u201cincluding 44 colleges or universities as well as hospitals, prisons and pharmaceutical companies.\u201d<\/p>\n The new DHS headquarters, St. Elizabeths Hospital, was one of these institutions.<\/p>\n \u201cAdm. Stansfield Turner, the Director of Central Intelligence [from March 9, 1977 \u2014 January 20, 1981 under presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan], testified today that the C.I.A. had secretly supported human behavior control research at 80 institutions,\u201d Nicholas M. Horrock wrote for the Times.<\/p>\n \u201cAdmiral Turner acknowledged under questioning that the C.I.A. had apparently planned to test drugs on terminal cancer patients at the same institution where it secretly contributed $375,000 toward the construction of\u201d Georgetown University Medical School in Washington D.C., the Times <\/a>uncovered<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a report entitled, \u201cBritish psychiatry: from eugenics to assassination<\/a>,\u201d historian and investigative journalist Anton Chaitkin says, starting in 1943, facilities at St. Elizabeths Hospital were used to carry out projects under the auspices of the \u201ctruth drug\u201d committee for the Office of Strategic Services, the CIA\u2019s predecessor agency.<\/p>\n The superintendent and chief psychiatrist, Winfred Overholser, administered \u201challucinogen mescaline to various test subjects,\u201d Chaitkin divulges \u2014 the same type of research<\/a> Nazi doctors were conducting on inmates of the Dachau and Auschwitz concentration camps.<\/p>\n Researchers at the online library Erowid.org<\/a> say Dominic Streatfeild\u2019s 2008 book, \u201cBrainwash: The Secret History of Mind Control,\u201d revealed that the OSS also tested a mescaline and scopolamine cocktail as a truth drug on two volunteers at St. Elizabeth\u2019s Hospital.<\/p>\n Image depicts underage white female between ages of 8 and 10 who underwent MKUltra research, including treatment using heavy doses of LSD, electroshock therapy and sensory deprivation.

Edgar Hoover.\u201d<\/p>\n At the same time, Chaitkin writes, the OSS also worked closely with drug lords from the criminal underworld to assist federal agents in learning \u201cthe inside secrets of drug trafficking\u2014but not to stop it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThen in the spring of 1943, they perfected the right mix of marijuana and tobacco to produce a \u2018state of irresponsibility\u2019 in the subject.\u201d<\/p>\n Ultimately, it could be said research at the St. Elizabeths Hospital helped lay the groundwork for influencing the drugged-out counter-culture 60s movement. \u201cLater, during the 1950s and 1960s, the strategists of the MKUltra project would utilize the same channels of influence with U.S. security agencies to let them transform a generation of youth into dope users.\u201d<\/p>\n Members of the U.S. Military were also used as unwitting guinea pigs, according to Chaitkin. \u201cThe Overholser group gave marijuana to U.S. soldiers at Army bases throughout the country, supposedly to aid in the search for subversives.\u201d<\/p>\n Records regarding the secretive MKUltra experimentation have since all but been destroyed.<\/p>\n \u201cIn 1973 when then-DCI [director of Central of Intelligence] Richard Helms ordered the destruction of all documents associated with the MKULTRA program,\u201d a brief summary appearing on the CIA.gov<\/a> website describing a book entitled, \u201cThe Official C.I.A. Manual of Trickery and Deception<\/a>,\u201d states.<\/p>\n Given the St. Elizabeths Hospital\u2019s notoriety of being used as one of the primary facilities to carry out covert government experimentation (using tax-payer dollars) and to conduct nefarious research into mind-control, it\u2019s no surprise the DHS has chosen the location as their next outpost to be used in their continued efforts to subvert the United States\u2019 Constitution.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
