From The Cabinet of Dr Caligari to the tales of Svengali and the book and films of The Manchurian Candidate, the theme of robotically controlled assassins and hypnotically controlled slaves is in fact a common plot point. Even comedies such as The Naked Gun and later Zoolander use this theme of assassins who do not know they are assassins; one could even argue that The Pied Piper employed mind manipulation techniques in order to steal away the children of his clients. We are also shown in many films and media presentations the concept of multiple personalities in characters; this plot device has in fact become old hat now in Hollywood through overuse, the audience is no longer shocked to find that the main protagonist is in actuality themselves, the suspect they are looking for, unknown to their true personality. A separate person has manifest within the mind of the protagonist, completely detached in actions and memory to the original core personality. This schism is usually shown as the result of some event or trauma so powerful as to literally shatter the mind of the protagonist into distinct personalities. This plot point is perhaps more accurate than most people realise. This manipulation of the mind is actually far from science fiction and has been well documented in primary sources such as declassified documents, court hearings, exposés in the media by those involved boasting at their prowess and by insider whistle-blowers. The subject has also been discussed by many researchers in a secondary sense; notable inclusions are the fantastic and detailed work of Jim Keith and Dr. Colin Ross. Many of the books in the public eye are littered with disinformation, usually suggesting there is little actual success in the field of mind manipulation. I will draw together the evidence to show the scope of these projects and prove that mind control, in all its forms, was and is used to control us on numerous levels. What exactly do we mean by mind control? We are talking about the ability to control a person’s thoughts and actions, in order to have them do the bidding of their programmers against their own will and in some cases, against their own moral code. In this realm, we are speaking of robotically controlled individuals, slaves to the whims of their masters. This can not only apply to the individual in programming of personal thought and action but can also be utilised in the arena of mass manipulation or mass programming, affecting large sections of the public. This can run the gamut from advertising techniques that manipulate our subconscious without our knowledge, to lies by the media and full military propaganda designed to shape the ideology of a nation. Indeed, the application of individual mind control experiments would instantly fail were it not for the mass manipulation techniques that tell the public; this sort of technique is not possible, it is in the arena of science fiction or espionage thrillers. What I intend to prove is that this is far from science fiction. The fact that U.S., U.K., Chinese and Russian governments were involved in varying levels of individual and mass mind control programmes is not even denied, rather it is often passed over with the explanation that, “it was a different time, the cold war made us paranoid and justified our actions” and of course the classic, “we never achieved our goals in any meaningful sense anyway”. In fact we can even see the propaganda posters from Nazi Germany or Communist Russia and in our wise Western way, decode them for the manipulation they are, without applying that same critical analysis to the images we ourselves are presented with every day. We seem to forget that the aim of propaganda is to disguise itself as fact. The U.S. mind control programmes started in April 1950 with the beginning of the fabled Project BLUEBIRD. The official reason for any U.S. involvement with the dark arts of mind control is that it was a response to Communist methods used against American G.I.’s in the Korean War, fearing that Americans were being brainwashed into confessing and defecting to the Communist regime. However, as the start of this programme predates the cited conflict, we can see clearly that this explanation too is manipulative propaganda directed against the public to manage their perceptions of the world. Project CHATTER was a United States Navy programme beginning in the autumn of 1947, primarily involved in the testing of different drugs in interrogation scenarios and collecting results on their usefulness. The programme was led by Dr. Charles Savage of the Naval Medical Research Institute, Bethesda, Maryland and ran from 1947 to 1953. The doctors involved used both natural and synthetic concoctions on their test subjects in order to achieve their required results. Project CHATTER involved experimentation on animals and humans alike, with large doses of scopolamine, mescaline and various other potions and narcotics used in interrogation scenarios. This project also predated the Korean War. Project ARTICHOKE was the continuation of BLUEBIRD, officially beginning on 20 August 1951, and run by the CIA's Office of Scientific Intelligence. The desired results of the project were charted in a memo, dated January 1952, that stated, "Can we get control of an individual to the point where he will do our bidding against his will and even against fundamental laws of nature, such as self-preservation?" [1] The project studied hypnosis, forced morphine and heroin addiction, followed by subsequent forced withdrawal and the use of various other chemicals, among other methods, in order to produce amnesia and other vulnerable states in subjects, ostensibly for interrogation purposes. A CIA Document, dated 26 April 1952, stated that those employed in Artichoke interrogations, “Used heroin on a routine basis (as this) can be useful in reverse because of the stresses produced when they are withdrawn from those who are addicted to their use.” BLUEBIRD and ARTICHOKE were rolled into the umbrella term MK ULTRA in 1953. When talking about mind control projects, the term MK ULTRA is often used to refer to mind control experiments in general as its brief was so varied. MK ULTRA had at least 149 sub projects that we know of. In 1963, MK ULTRA was renamed MK SEARCH, which ran until the early 1970’s when all pertinent documentation was destroyed at the behest of the CIA and the projects then officially disbanded, although more likely were reclassified. Other projects that emerged from the U.S. administration were MK NAOMI, MK DELTA and QKHILLTOP. Though different delineations had slightly different aims and objectives, we can view all these projects as a continuation of the broader heading of mind control experimentation. MK NAOMI reportedly focused on biological projects including biological warfare agents; specifically, to store materials that could either incapacitate or kill a test subject and to develop devices for the diffusion of such materials. This is essentially flowery language for individual and mass drugging. A 1967 CIA memo uncovered by the Church Committee (an investigation into clandestine government experimentation, conducted in 1975) showed evidence of at least three covert techniques for attacking and poisoning crops that had been examined under field conditions, meaning they were tested in real world scenarios.

Wards Of The State: Care And Custody In A Pennsylvania Prison Abstract In this dissertation, I examine the challenges and contradictions as well as the expectations and aspirations involved in the provision of healthcare to inmates in a maximum-security prison in Pennsylvania. In 1976, the Supreme Court granted inmates a constitutional right to healthcare based on the notion that a failure to do so would constitute “cruel and unusual punishment.” Drawing on two years of ethnographic fieldwork from 2014-2016 in the prison’s medical unit with inmates, healthcare providers, and correctional staff, I demonstrate how the legal infrastructure built around this right to healthcare operates in practice and the myriad effects it has for those in state custody. Through traversing the scales of legal doctrine, privatized managed care, and collective historical memory, bringing these structural components to life in personal narratives and clinical interactions, I advance the notion that the physical space of the prison’s medical unit is a “ward of the state” – a space of care where the state itself is “made” through interactions among individuals who relay and enact the legal regulations on inmate healthcare.

Marion Sims, later hailed as the "father of gynecology," performs medical experiments on enslaved African women without anesthesia . These women would usually die of infection soon after surgery. Based on his belief that the movement of newborns' skull bones during protracted births causes trismus, he also uses a shoemaker's awl, a pointed tool shoemakers use to make holes in leather, to practice moving the skull bones of babies born to enslaved mothers ( Brinker ).

  • IN Support of Prisoner Participation in Clinical Trials
    .. Beneficial and Unusual Punishment: An Argument IN Support of Prisoner Participation IN Clinical Trials Sharona Hoffman* Introduction Until the last few decades of the Twentieth Century, prisoners were widely used in biomedical experimentation in the United States.' Prisoners served as test subjects for substances ranging from perfume, soap, and cosmetics, to dioxin, psychological warfare agents, and radioactive isotopes.^ By 1 969, eighty-five percent of new drugs were tested on incarcerated persons in forty-two prisons,^ and prisoners in the United States were even utilized to test drugs for researchers in other countries."* In the following decade investigations revealed that prisoners who were the subjects of clinical research often suffered serious adverse consequences and severe abuses. Allen Homblum, who, in his book Acres ofSkin, wrote a moving expose of medical research that was conducted in one prison, stated in an early chapter: For two decades—from the early 1950s to the early 1970s—Philadelphia's Holmesburg Prison played host to one of the largest and most varied medical experimentation centers in the country. Only the inmates, and the doctors who experimented on them, know just exactly what took place, but whereas the latter choose not to discuss their earlier medical exploits, the prisoners are not asked. In that respect, Holmesburg is little different from the dozens of other institutions that contained vulnerable populations and [sic] were exploited in the name of scientific advancement. This sad but wide-spread twentieth-century phenomenon has much to teach us about our ethical standards and our capacity for human compassion.^ In light ofthe discovery of severe research abuses, several entities, including the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the American Correctional Association, and the * Assistant Professor of Law, Case Western Reserve University School of Law.

  • The Manipulated Mind
    Ever since American prisoners of war in Korea suddenly switched sides to the Communist cause, the concept of brainwashing has continued to fascinate and confuse. Is it really possible to force any thinking person to act in a way com­ pletely alien to his character? What makes so-called brainwashing so different from the equally insidious effects of indoctrination and conditioning, or even advertising and education? Research findings from psychology show that brainwashing is not a special subversive technique; it is the clever manipulation of unrealised influences that operate in all our lives. This book, by breaking down so-called brainwashing to its individual elements, shows how social conditioning, need for approval, emotional dependency and much else that we are unaware of, prevent us from being as self-directed as we think; and, conversely, which human traits make us the least susceptible to subtle influence.

  • Vol. 10, No. 2, February 2014 “Happy Trials to You” Should Dermatology Be Celebrating Albert M. Kligman?
    Vol. 10, No. 2, February 2014 “Happy Trials to You” Should Dermatology Be Celebrating Albert M. Kligman? By Norman M. Goldfarb In 2007, the Society for Investigative Dermatology (SID) established the annual Albert M. Kligman/Phillip Frost Leadership Lecture and Award. According to the original solicitation for nominees, “The award is made possible by the generosity of Dr. Phillip Frost and will be presented to an individual in acknowledgement of significant contributions to the understanding of structure and function of skin, preferably in the past five years. A $25,000 honorarium accompanies the award.” Phillip Frost, MD, (1935-) has served as Professor of Dermatology at the School of Medicine, University of Miami; Chairman of the Department of Dermatology at Mt. Sinai Medical Center of Greater Miami; Chairman of the Board of Directors of Key Pharmaceuticals; and Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Ivax Corporation, among other accomplishments. Dr. Frost worked as a resident under Dr. Kligman at Holmesburg Prison. Albert M. Kligman, MD (1916-2010) was a figure of great controversy. On one hand, he made major contributions to the field of dermatology, especially related to the use of tretinoin (Retin-A) to treat acne and wrinkles. On the other hand, his grossly unethical research on prisoners at Holmesburg Prison made him the most notorious violator of clinical research ethics in U.S. history. Prior to that, he conducted actively harmful studies on children with intellectually disabilities at the State Colonies for the Feebleminded in Vineland and Woodbine, New Jersey. While Dr. Kligman was hardly alone in blatantly violating fundamental human rights, other clinical research atrocities are known by their location (e.g., Tuskegee) or their victim (e.g., Jesse Gelsinger).

By Julisha Ford Under the mentorship of Dr. Jonathan Bryant Abstract The Tuskegee Syphilis Study was a non-therapeutic medical study on the effects of untreated syphilis on African American men. From 1932-1972 the Public Health Service of the United States, with the aid of various local doctors, conducted the study on 400 black men of Macon County in Tuskegee, Alabama. The black subjects of the study were not aware that treatment would be withheld nor the purpose of their examination. The legacy of the study has led to discussions on the influence of white authority in medicine and the use of black bodies for intellectual advancement.

Consciously or unconsciously, our feelings about almost everything are largely molded by ready-made opinions and attitudes fostered by our mass methods of communication. We cannot buy a bar of soap or a filtered cigarette without paying tribute to the impact of suggestion. Right or wrong, most of us place more confidence in what "they" say than we do in our own powers of reason. This is the basic reason why psychiatrists are in short supply.
