Hollywood fiction covers up real MK-ULTRA..

This movie started out with some truths, the mad chemist talking about his cold-bloodedness, and talk about the secret program that Clinton actually apologized for (the MK-ULTRA experiments). The similarities between truth and movies's fiction end there. MK-ULTRA was an illegal CIA program that used psychiatric patients' minds and destroyed their memories through 3 sets of "treatments." These were CIA authored illegal experiments against american citizens. This movie was a distraction from what was arguably the most God Awful macabre experiment aimed at innocent american citizens. This is not mythical so called "conspiracy" talk. It's known fact, both on wikipedia and all over the internet and youtube, all well documented-for anyone who is interested in learning about it and/or hearing from the still remaining victims of the project and/or their relatives. Scientists and other Chemists, as shown in true footage, at the beginning of the movie, eventually came out of the woodwork, after the project was declassified. No-one can dispute what the CIA project was doing.

The MK-ULTRA project was invented and perfected from the mid 50's to its peak in the 60's, and possibly continues today, under a yet to be unclassified government documents. The US was enamored with North Korea's mind control operation during that war against them. So the US, after the war, embarked upon a mission to find weapons of mind control just like the missions to find weapons of chemical, nuclear and biological warfare had been sought after (e.g: remember who created Agent Orange and remember that Saddam obtained his chemical weapons from West Germany and the US) .

Anyway; the idea was to create a Manchurian Candidate who would operate according to military dictates (automatically and w/o memory, as if he was a puppet being pulled by strings). The leading pioneering institute, for this governmental agenda, was at McGill University in Montreal, during the sixties. There, a psychiatrist named Ewan Cameron was a pioneer of sorts in the experimentation of mind control, or the MK-ULTRA project. He used people who came to his clinic, at McGill, for simple depression, and made them the target of his macabre attempts to control their minds. This wasn't the only place wherein MK-ULTRA was carried out. The project worked on US vets and others. This is what Bill Clinton was referring to, at the beginning of the movie, when he apologized for the government's role, depicted in these unclassified papers of the MK-ULTRA project of the 50's and 60's.

The movie was wrong in describing the client population. No one got the drug from Colorado or anyplace other than through these treatment centers. And the drug was called LSD (Lysergic Acid). The fictitious name for the drug, shown in the movie, was a fantasy-as was the means of obtaining it. The LSD was given to the depressed self-admitted patients in extremely high doses. Then, electroshock therapy (ECT) was given to the patient in amounts of up to hundreds of times that of "normal" shock therapy. After the high doses of LSD, along with the ECT, patients were administered huge doses of opioids. These kept the patient asleep for weeks or months-while suggestive subliminal messages were pumped into their brains through audio control.

The idea, was to create a zombi-like person with no past. While there is no firm evidence as to why this was the goal of the military, it was clear that they wanted a human being to wake up from all of this "treatment" with no other identity other than what was recorded into his/her brain during the final phase of "treatment" (the deep opioid induced sleep).

No-one knows what former MK-ULTRA victims went on to accomplish after their brainwashing was completed. No one has ever documented the results any brainwashing. No-one knows if the program exists to this day. We do know that Bahshee Chapter was 95% fiction. The treatment and the goals, of the MK-ULTRA project, were glossed over in the movie. The horror story of the changing of the faces and the ghoul like presence, wasn't a part of the recorded history of the MK-ULTRA atrocity. This movie fictionalized a horrifying sick aspect of what the CIA was doing during those decades. The truth was more horrifying than the fiction that was designed to entertain and scare. Blending a little truth, at the start of the movie, with the fiction that it became, is doing a great injustice to anyone who suffered from the effects of the non fictionalized horror that this program created.
