So was Whitey Bulger! He went through the actual MK Ultra program when he was in prison, which sounds quite a bit rougher. (Oddly this is no longer in his Wiki

  It there was a vast and organized attempt to eradicate all public knowledge on this subject, what would it look like? EDIT I really am asking a question here. No premise implied.

    It probably wouldn't look like editing the most popular public wiki in the world that records and reviews historical edits and changes?

        Geez, calm down with the insults. I have no positive proposal because I think the underlying premise is ridiculous. That is my opinion, and I'm entitled to it. I respect yours even if I don't agree with it, give me the same courtesy?

        Put the tinfoil hat away. They publically display anonymous edits.

    Maybe next time you should check the actual Wiki page before posting since it is still there.

    Is there really a need? Consider the on again, off again "the reality" of the lab leak hypothesis for COVID. Colloquial reality is what matters, and colloquial reality is what's printed in the newspaper, and then repeated on social media as factual reality, closing the loop. Provided the public is never provided the tools needed to think their way out of this trick, you can fool them indefinitely. Conspiratorial thinking? Consider how frequently you hear "We need more critical thinking!!!", And then consider what initiatives have been floated to solve the problem. Pure incompetence?

  It is there on his Wikipedia page: > In 1956, Bulger served his first term in federal prison at Atlanta Penitentiary for armed robbery and truck hijacking. He later told mobster Kevin Weeks that while there, he was used as a human subject in the CIA-sponsored MK-ULTRA program. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitey_Bulger#Prison https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitey_Bulger#Prison

    I control-F'ed 'MK Ultra' and did not consider that they would use a dash. Shame on me....
