In 1953, the United States government began a top-secret CIA human experimentation program known by its code-name as Project MK-ULTRA. The available evidence shows that this program involved the use of numerous techniques to manipulate individual mental states and alter brain functions, including: the deceitful administration of drugs and other chemicals, isolation, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as various forms of torture. Kathleen Sullivan was a victim of this heinous program and she recounts the torment she endured in a poem. “Pain, isolation, deprivation. Torture, training, total isolation. In a dark, not black, soundless box made of metal. [He] poured his pain into me [via electrical torture]. I became the repository for his pain. Pain kills. I was alone in that box, no one to talk to, no one who cared. NO ONE. He was master of horrors. He cut the kitten open alive starting with its sweet tender stomach. It trusted him. It trusted him and he killed it. He said he was teaching me not to care. Then he put me in the box too small to stand in. I had to sit in it. One side open.
I saw the lab. I saw [him]. The box was my only respite. And he let me decide when to come out again. He kept busy and patiently waited until I decided to come out again — to HIM. He forced me to choose to come to him, to be with him, no matter what pain he gave me. I became Frankenstein’s lab assistant. His creation. Cold. Uncaring. Wooden. You are what is done to you. Do unto others what was done unto you; give out as has been given unto you. These were Satan’s laws and he was Satan in the flesh. Satan is human pain-giving. Hate hate hate let the whole world hate. Kill kill kill let the whole world kill… all should have to feel as I feel and yet it is never enough. Never enough. I’m always back in the box. With the knowing and the pain” (http://conspirazine.com). MK-ULTRA was the
