So you're just hearing about MKULTRA for the first time ?
Shocked ! You're so well read on everything.
As it turns out, jumping to conclusions can not only interfere with your relationships, but if it is a severe enough pattern, it can also be harmful to an individualâs mental health. You might be surprised to learn that the cognitive tendency of jumping to conclusions, abbreviated as âJTC,â is implicated in social anxiety and delusional disorders in what researchers call the âThreat Anticipation Model.â In new research by University of East Anglia (UK)âs James Hurley and colleagues (2018), JTC interpretation bias is tested as a process that leads people to assume, wrongly, that a situation presents them with physical, social, or psychological harm. In other words, youâre confronted with an emotionally ambiguous situation and automatically conclude that the situation will come out badly for you, because other people are out to hurt you. Putting this everyday tendency into a clinical context, then, you can see that if you perceive people who mean you no harm as having evil intent, your mental health (if not relationships) will be negatively impacted.
It's essentially the story of the CIA's quest at controlling people's minds. It sounds so Orwellian, but that was the goal of the notorious MKULTRA program during the Cold War. What actually happened – the experiments on unwitting psychiatric patients in Canada, or the sensational programs such as "Operation Midnight Climax" in the U.S., where sex workers were paid to give LSD to clients – is hard to believe, but it's true. And tragically, what we were able to track is that these brainwashing experiments, in various forms, have never really stopped. So our podcast starts in the 1950s and '60s, takes listeners through the '80s, into that dire post-9/11 period, and up until today.
This is old, old news ...

There is a theory about a secret war fought in Antarctica between the US and Nazi forces. There are records of both countries having military bases there, and a US destroyer was sunk in "training". Supposedly the nazis built an underground compound. From there is spreads into several theories but it OS certainly interesting. https://flipboard.com/@maxgoodz/top-15-best-lift-chairs-review-2019-r5qdlinry
". . . Any loving parent today would be horrified and shocked to learn that their sons and daughters are eagerly listening to such evil. Perhaps though, some may think privately, 'If only we could return to the 'good old days, ' with the music of the Beatles. ' Little do most people suspect that it was with those innocent-looking Beatles, that most of the trouble started. Modern electronic-rock music, inaugurated in the early 1960s, is, and always has been, a joint enterprise of British military intelligence and Satanic cults. On the one side, the Satanists control the major rock groups through drugs, sex, threats of violence, and even murder. On the other side, publicity, tours, and recordings are financed by record companies connected to British military intelligence circles. Both sides are intimately entwined with the biggest business in the world, the international drug trade. . . At Woodstock, a small town in upstate New York, nearly half a million youth gathered to be drugged and brainwashed on a farm. The victims were isolated, immersed in filth, pumped with psychedelic drugs, and kept awake continuously for three straight days, and all with the full complicity of the FBI and government officials. Security for the concert was provided by a hippie commune trained in the mass distribution of LSD. . . . " more
