Operation bluebird. MK ultra. Palantir. Keyscore. Have you not been paying attention?

  Only MK Ultra (which this article is about!) is anything resembling mind control. Apparently I'm paying more attention to what this is specifically about than you are!

    Keyscore: social control. Palantir: social control. Bluebird: mind control at scale. I think you're being intentionally disingenuous. No sane person can look at those social control programs and think "well this is innocuous" or "compatible with the free and open society"...

      I'm not being disingenuous at all. I'm arguing specifically that the statement "these [mind-control] programs were prototypes for still-ongoing [mind-control] attacks on the American public." Project Bluebird was in the 1950s which the article is about. You seem to be just pulling in all kinds of bad intelligence products. I'm not arguing that at all.

        These programs are related inasmuch as they revolve around controlling the American public mindset with regards to the military industrial complexes' illegal wars. CIA currently runs 1000+ black ops 'interrogation' sites around the world for the purpose of fulfilling the goals of these kinds of programs. The purpose is the justification of endless war and as we have seen, are quite effective at swaying American public opinion. cf., ISIS, et al,.
