I marvel at Karen Wetmore's survival instinct and sheer will to keep going in the face of evil forces.

Thanks for the work, Tao. I agree with you at the end, evil is a culture and it can only change with knowledge, discussion and openness.

The trouble with dating these programs is that the public assumes that the science just stops. It doesn't. The results from these experiments are developed, refined, and perfected, then applied to the world as we know it. They don't just shelve these experiments and programs away. They were conducted for a purpose, to be used in the real world, outside of "lab conditions". If this was what was possible in the 50s, imagine what is being applied today. Terrifying summary. Got the chills.

I agree. People can read 1996 by Gloria Naylor to see where mind-control went after MKULTRA.

One of the things that comes to mind and this might be not a primary point is that often afflicted people are not just physically weak, but psychologically unable to handle the fight to find information or get Justice. So the crime happens twice- once in the commitment of the crime and second, in creating consequences that cause stress induced silence. This is what's happening now in the pandemic, when 1m ppl died and hundreds of thousands are out of the work place. My two irrelevant cents anyway:

How was Robert F Kennedy at the Senate Hearings in 1977 if he died in 1968?

Thank you for noticing this error, which I’ve fixed to Ted Kennedy.
