L'histoire secrète de Fort Detrick: quand la CIA expérimentait sur le contrôle de la pensée


Lorsque la CIA, les Opérations spéciales et des chimistes travaillent secrètement main dans la main. Ce n'est pas la première histoire du genre impliquant la CIA, mais c'est toujours aussi pertinent que choquant de lire le récit de ces expériences qui défient les codes d'éthique. 

 "Taking advantage of this arrangement, Gottlieb created a hidden CIA enclave inside Camp Detrick. His handful of CIA chemists worked so closely with their comrades in the Special Operations Division that they became a single unit.

Some scientists outside the tight-knit group suspected what was happening. “Do you know what a ‘self-contained, off-the-shelf operation’ means?” one of them asked years later. “The CIA was running one in my lab. They were testing psycho-chemicals and running experiments in my labs, and weren’t telling me.”

Gottlieb searched relentlessly for a way to blast away human minds so new ones could be implanted in their place. He tested an astonishing variety of drug combinations, often in conjunction with other torments like electro-shock or sensory deprivation. In the United States, his victims were unwitting subjects at jails and hospitals, including a federal prison in Atlanta and an addiction research center in Lexington, Kentucky."
