BLUEBIRD Exposed
The True Story of the CIA's Secret 1950 Program to Explore Mind Control and Advanced Interrogation TechniquesBy Nathaniel B Carver
Length1h 6m
About this audiobook
In 1950, haunted by Cold War fears of Communist "brainwashing," the CIA secretly authorized Project BLUEBIRD—its first program to investigate mind control and coercive interrogation. Officers experimented with hypnosis, drugs, and psychological pressure on unwitting subjects, chasing a "truth drug" and the fantasy of a controllable human weapon. BLUEBIRD became ARTICHOKE, then the infamous MKULTRA, leaving damaged lives and one mysterious death in its wake. In 1973 the CIA shredded the evidence. Drawing on surviving records and congressional testimony, BLUEBIRD Exposed reconstructs how a democracy, driven by fear and shielded by secrecy, built the very machinery of abuse it dreaded.
