Hello, hello, everybody, and welcome back to the Chilli Minotti podcast, Episode 82.
As always, I'm one of your hosts, Mike Martin, joining my two co-hosts, Alex Fasiana and Jesse Cox.
Hello, boys.
Hi, everybody.
Hey.
I hope everybody had a good holiday.
I hope you had a good holiday.
Thank you, guys.
I hope you had a good holiday.
Thank you.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you, guys.
I hope everybody had a good holiday.
It's almost 2021.
2020 went out with a fucking bang, didn't it, Jesse?
Look, I don't want to talk about it, man.
I don't want to talk about it.
I'm over this year.
I'm over it.
Some day, two years from now, let's all, everybody listen to this.
Let's all meet up at a bar in Havana, Cuba somewhere
and just drink about this holiday season.
I'm into it. I'm into it.
I hope everybody had a good holiday.
I know we've got some human suffering to go through,
but usually this is where I hand it off to Alex to Schill,
but I'm just going to take a minute
and just give a heartfelt thank you to everybody.
This has been a great year.
We're almost, in February, we'll mark our third
or fourth year going into this.
Do we not even know anymore?
What's going on here?
I think we're going into our third year in February.
February is year three, like our three-year anniversary.
We're going into.
But this is the year we launched Patreon in 2020
and we love them beyond where we started.
I just want to thank everybody who's been listening
because we couldn't do without you.
If you've just been listening or on the Patreon,
I've bought merch and just binged our podcast endlessly.
Without you guys, we wouldn't be able to do it.
So genuinely, genuinely thank you.
You've allowed us to really make this something so much more.
I was still going to Schill afterwards,
but in the meantime,
while you were talking,
I was visited by three ghosts from the past president of future.
I don't feel like Schilling anymore.
You know what I mean?
Oh, all right. That's adorable.
And we know Jesse won't.
So it's fine. Jesse bought me a full-size goose.
He posted it to me.
Oh my God.
Did you kill it or are you going to keep it?
We'll see.
There's sometimes assholes.
I mean, like sometimes you got to kill a goose.
They're just bad people.
I was going to say, how's Wallace handling the goose?
They're both sitting on opposite sides of the couch
right now, eyeing each other.
They're at each other.
It doesn't have any ducklings or whatever you call them.
Gosslings.
Um, I'll be.
Last couple of things to show before we get to the episode.
T-shirts.
We still got the Chupacabra limited time t-shirt up there.
Grab it while you can.
It's not going to be up there much longer.
And, uh, oh, was that it?
Is that it for Schilling actually?
Yeah, grab it while you can.
It's not much time left for that.
And then we'll we'll working on the third,
the third one. Oh, and the,
the Twitter in art dropped the digital poster by Mel.
Studio, Melectro,
it is Krampus themed, of course, tarot card Krampus themed.
It's amazing.
It's so sick. It's sick.
So go check that out if you're on that $20 tier.
Or if you're interested, you can go jump on that $20 tier
and get that poster and every poster that's been released
since the Patreon started.
All right. I think that's it.
Boys, are you ready for MK Ultra?
No.
No, I mean, look, I want to know about it
because it's an interesting topic.
But I just spend the next hour and a half now just getting like my worldview shattered and upset. Yeah, like my my like
understanding of human potential for cruelty
Just extended
Deepened it's gonna keep going. I promise you you hate to see it
Well last episode was a big kind of coverage of
Project artichoke if you all remember we covered a lot of different projects songbird and artichoke
I think they're terrible names. Oh, they're absolutely awful
Um in that there was some lsd testing to those who were aware and who were not aware
Lots of different torture trying the navy trying to remove free will from a particular like individuals
No, right
A whole bunch of stuff and at the end all those people who created those projects got promoted within the cia
And ended up running the cia from this point forward
And the very last thing that we we addressed was that after everybody got their promotion
They invested around three million dollars in 2020 money into this project
Were no longer subjected to financial controls and had permission to launch research and conduct experiments at will quote
Without signing of the usual contracts or written agreements
It got a new kryptonium and that
Was mk ultra easy and that
Exactly, that's where we pick up on today's episode. It's 1953 and mk ultra proper has launched
Now unsurprisingly probably to everybody here mk ultra projects were actually well underway before mk ultra was officially approved on paper
Uh specifically under the name mk delta the clandestine services division set up actual procedures the year prior to mk ultra being presented
To use chemical and biological warfare products mk delta became the operational side
Of mk ultra after mk ultra launch. So it kind of just got
Umbrella and folded into mk ultra sight nerve
Yeah, exactly. Yes
An unfortunate comparison, but yes
uh
Under mk. Naomi the ta the tss made a deal with the special operations division bsod
We talked about that last week of the army's biological research center at fort detrick
Whereby the special operations division would actually produce germ weapons for the cia's use
So during mk. Naomi again, we talked about this last week all these things happen
And by the end of it they were making deals with the cia to produce germ warfare weapons
And on april 13th 1953
Gottlieb one of the scientists working at at fort detrick the major one who's kind of running a lot of this
Went to new york to meet john mulholland who was at the time
A very popular magician and it's through this time out. Yeah
That's not right. I thought we were going time out. You can't just be like do we know very popular
How does he get in the mix? How does he slide in there mk ultra ultimately launches with a meeting
with a magician
John Mulholland
Mulholland was the protege of none other than
Harry Houdini
He was his uh, his uh understudy perfect place to start
Yeah, exactly for more than 20 years
He edited the sphinx a professional journal a journal for conjurers illusionists and presta digitators
And mulholland also wrote nearly a dozen books himself such as the art of illusion and quicker than the eye
So not so the mk ultra scientists were like
So
How do you how do you saw a man in half?
Yes, that's i'm sure they saw the both sides keep moving
How do you do it this card trick? I must have the answer
You get close to me and I look for the card and it is stuck to my forehead. How do you see there are no coins behind my ears?
I shake this morning
Tell me now our air hypnosis will bring you to z8 ball
When not performing or writing though, he heavily devoted himself to unmasking fraudulent spiritualists and psychics
Often by way of dramatically revealing their tricks. So you have to understand too 1950s were a time of um
Like lots of like like I said here like spirituality people having uh seances trying to contact the dead
And this was a great opportunity for scam artists to move in set up really easy tricks around their room
You know slide a hand and and whatnot and all claim that dead family members are speaking to you
So are you saying so are you saying they're like legit thing was they were like, all right? Here we are mk ultra ready to go
Match what if magic's real? Let's check it out
No, no, it is not what if magic's real. There's a reason they went to moholland and a reason that like his history is that of
Of revealing these grand tricks so he would go to these places well aware of all of their tricks
Allow them to get into the throes of their biggest seance and right in the middle
He would stand up and reveal all the ways that people were being fooled
Essentially bringing down entire companies under these one people who were fooling people for their money
But that was that's beside the point overall because gotly it went to moholland
For a very specific thing
Moholland actually agreed after the meeting to teach cia officers how to distract victims' attentions
So drugs could be given to them without anyone noticing
There it is
Put like tapping them on the hand while you like chuck a pill down their throat
Yeah, just
Gotly have also asked moholland to consider writing a manual in which quote
Slight of hand practices would be codified for officers unable to attend training sessions in new york or washington
and
moholland accepted
Over the next year
moholland produced several drafts of the manual and the final version was thought to have been lost or destroyed
Because at the end of mk ultra when everything was surfacing they began destroying documents left and right
However, a copy unexpectedly surfaced in 2007
Making it the only full-length mk ultra document to have survived intact and it's completely like
Completely up intact
And the document was titled the official cia manual of trickery and deception
classic, but
There's no like uh redactions or
Anything like that. That's a good question. Um, because it's not something i fully dove into uh because it just not
Wasn't too totally pertinent something worth looking up though
um
In may 1953
George hunter white who was an officer of the narcotics bureau and former osse member remember the osse became the cia
In god liab rented to so sorry. Apologize george hunter white and god liab rented two adjacent granwich village apartments
in 1953
white agreed to lure victims to the safe houses
slip them drugs
And then report the results to god liab who was usually next door in one in the building one of the two apartments that they had
In exchange for white's use the cia let the narcotics bureau
Used the place for undercover operations for often for personal pleasure
Where whenever no agent out agency operations were scheduled
The cia paid all the bills including the cost of keeping a well-stocked liquor cabinet
God liab himself invested four thousand in cash to cover the initial cost of furnishing the safe house in a lavish style
In 40,000 in cash you're looking at probably like 50 grand in 2020 money
This safe house was also used. This is like they're like, uh
Undercover bang bungalow. Oh, absolutely where they are also drug people. This is like they're little like nasty fuck room
It's also you say that but it's also important to keep in mind that mk ultra eventually does move into the world of like
Drugging and raping like later on wait. It's so much worse. Yeah
That is also not where I thought any of this was going. Okay. Oh, it gets so much worse. It gets so much worse
I cover that today. That's not today. That's when we get towards because what do you mean? That's not today
How is this?
This is like the opposite of when I was like, there's some green kids, but we'll talk about them later
No, no, no, this is you're gonna get this next week probably wait. So whether green kids
No, no, the green kids was
Don't worry about the green kids
Yeah, remember Alex teased it at the beginning of his crazy episode and he was like that's what we're talking about today
And we all freaked out, but we've never done great kids. He did cover them
It was like remember the green kids remember the girl who came out of the hole got married became white and lived like a happy life
Oh, right. Yeah, no, look, yo, we talk about so much bullshit on this show
It is
Um, but we'll get there later because today is really all about one particular person
But we're gonna get there. So yeah, this was their bank bungalow at this time
Um, spending around 50,000 and 20 20 money to just decorate the thing
This the safe house was also used to pilot new surveillance equipment before sending it out into the field
And within the first few months white tested lsd
Several kinds of knockout drops the essence of in the essence in the essence of marijuana
Knockout drops marijuana
Knockout drop drops marijuana and lsd
Drugs were served up in food drink and cigarettes
Then white would try to get and then after they were drugged out white would then try and get information out of them
After six months, however, the operation was suspended
Because the topic of today's episode died
Frank Olson
Also known to many who may know of mk ultra very lightly about the man who jumped or willingly walked
Out a window to his death
All because of mk ultra
But anyway, that little uh breakdown is basically the cia little tit for tat with the narcotics bureau
They get white to do experiments and the cia does all that shit for the narcotics bureau
In in in return. Okay
Last little bit of a of a quick info before we dive into frank Olson proper
In july 1953
7200 soldiers were returned to the u.s. From communist prisons after an armistice ended the fighting in korea
The american people recoiled when they saw that they had written statements criticizing united states and praising communism
Some had confessed to war crimes and 21 had chosen to remain in north korea or china
This confused the american people wildly
They weren't sure how or why american soldiers were turned their backs on their country
The times actually examined their backgrounds completely
And this might sound familiar to a lot of you because they concluded that poor upbringing and emotional problems
Explained their behavior as to why they no longer love the united states. How long was that article 10 words?
Yeah, right
uh, the cia had a different hypothesis however, and this is kind of the
Crux of a lot of them moving forward
They had they believe that these 21 who had stayed had simply been brainwashed all their legs have been sought off
And they can't go anywhere
Because the term. Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's yeah
The term had come into public consciousness three years prior when it was invented by edward hunter
A memo from a cia officer posits quote
interrogations of the individuals who had come out of north korea across the soviet union for freedom
Recently had apparently quote blank period of disorientation while passing through a special zone in manchuria
This had occurred to all individuals in the party after they had had their first full meal and first cup of coffee
Drugging was indicated. So basically they were crossing over through manchuria and manchurian candidate style and then they just blank out
And then when they come to their opinions have changed
So they believe the u.s. Is believing that they the in that point they're being drugged maybe through their food
Maybe just more straightforward. You know what this also sounds like
aliens
That's very true. Are you sure are you sure you make a good point?
Are you sure the aliens didn't do it? I don't you are you trying to derail this? I because you you're on you're almost there
Am I trying to derail this with aliens?
I don't know we got to get to the sad part
The sad the sad part can't wait
We got to get to the sad part. Yeah, okay, hurry
However in the years after the fighting most of the defectors did eventually trickle home
several spoke about the captivity and none reported that they had been subjected to any pressure that could be described as brainwashing
They said their decisions to defect were the result of individual of combinations of anger at the inequalities of american life
And desire for adventure as well as traditional forms of coercion that were involved
So they were sweet talked so probably let me get this straight
So the stories come out in the newspaper
These people are staying because they're being brainwashed right correct and the american people is like
Oh my god, that's horrible
They're being brainwashed and then they come back and they're like no
We just it's a crazy time man, and it's messed up and then the american government was like
brainwashing, eh?
You are pretty much on point there. I mean
what it's
It also comes down to that idea of just in general not understanding other societies and america always think it's like the best
And so we I don't I mean it is kind of like a brainwashing though, right?
Not like learning that it's better outside of your own country because you're learning like perspective right like we can
We can even take that example
Gessie's given and bring it down to just us think about the people who never live little rural towns in the south
Who eventually get to go to college? I mean that's little towns everywhere
You can be in little town new york and still have that exact same
anybody who's stuck in a small suburban kind of like
You know locked downtown of a couple thousand and then they you mean one of the first ones to go to a big university
And all of a sudden they're surrounded by people from all walks of life most of the time they come back being like oh
That's life isn't like this and then you know that can cause that can cause
Friction with those at home or what have you but yeah, it's like that idea
But it's also propaganda. It's also explains how you can have
One half of the united states believe one thing and one half believe another and both be totally
100 convinced of their beliefs
Uh, it's you know, it's one of those things where people living in the soviet union
If you want to look at it from that angle people living in the soviet union being like we are
the greatest uh
Nation on earth and then they like fleet of the west and like oh my god. Wait a minute. Hold on. I was wrong
Yeah, yeah, it's exactly that it's why you know like I'll tell you right now like if I
ended up in norway
by accident somehow
You know I might
Stay there forever
Hang out for a little bit. I'm just saying just saying I just wait and see how everything shakes out for a little bit
Yeah, and everything's also personal. They mentioned they were lured there or there
I'm not sure exactly what phrase you used
But I mean to me whatever it is that you said sounded like oh, they probably met a nice young lady
Or like a feller over there or whatever. I'm not sure
Compromat like you know like if you go back we'll put this picture of you having sex with this with this kid or something too
Right. Yeah. I mean who knows just a million things mind control is what you're saying, right? Yeah
Yeah, but all kinds of ways to convert from like real brainwashing if a term like that exists
Clearly it's like I went to a place and I experienced something new and it changed how I see things
And now I view life this way
And that's I think is the closest we can get to to actual brainwashing
I don't think you know like and now you are one of us exists. I don't know that's real hive mind. Yeah, right
Well, when we cover cults one day we can we can probably dive into that a little bit. Yeah, I mean look
That's that is as close to brainwashing as you can get and it's not like
Jonestown is such a good example. It's like the same thing is like how uh, you know 1984
They write about the thought police and how like
thinking about stuff is going to be the thing that
Becomes a crime in the future and then in real life like instead of it being like a government that tracks you down
It's just like everyone else everybody who who's listening like judges you, you know
It's the same kind of deal like brainwashing like the way we imagine it is
Uh, a wizard does a sleight of hand on you and puts mind control dust in your face or whatever
But in reality, it's just like a web of emotional manipulation over years, you know from somebody who's higher
Think of thing. Yeah, exactly exactly and who's to say that's not brainwashing. You know what I mean
I'm sure that tons of people in cults will tell you that it didn't feel like they could just leave
Yeah, oh, absolutely. I mean you can even again abusive relationships are similar, right? Like it's the same idea
So we're going to talk about for this episode. It's going to be the only episode
We really focus on one person in one incident and the reason we're going to be franking on the frank olsen incident
So heavily is because the frank olsen incident in my mind in my opinion
Holy encapsulates not only the government, but really mk ultra and what it's all about
not only the government
Not only does it talk about and what we're going to see what the lengths they were willing to go to to
Really try and crack mind control
But the lengths that the government went instantly to cover this up for multiple decades
And when it finally came out was around the time when mk ultra was just kind of coming forward in the 70s and 80s
Like why would the government like okay?
Just for this outside observer, you know what I mean? Like when the government doesn't
Just tell you what it's doing
like
You know tell you but they tell you lies
But that's what I mean like if they're not if they're like straight up lying and they're covering up everything they're doing
There's no way that's like chill. There's no way that like it getting out in the world
It's gonna land
It happens. I love y'all that happens all the time
Like the fact that if they can just wait make it wait 10 years 20 years
And then it comes out the outrage then compared to the outrage of when it happens
It's gonna be so much smaller maybe maybe in like maybe in like the public court of opinion
But but like you know in the books of history like we know about mk ultra now
Like we know like it's gonna come out like you're not I guess like you get to live your life
But you know your legacy is gonna be tarnished if you torture. I just don't think they give a shit
No, exactly. It's just great. It's just you stare at it and you think about it and you're like
This is the type of thinking at the center of like what drives our country. You know what I mean? Like yes
It hasn't changed. It's weird
It makes you wonder what's going on right now like beyond what we already know that's atrocious
That's happening in the news right now. Yeah, it's it's bonkers, dude
So frank ulson particularly is a swedish immigrant that came to the us and earned his phd at the university of wisconsin
Married one of his classmates and was living of course the american dream for quite some time
However, eventually ulson was called to active duty as lieutenant in order to report to forthood texas during world war two
He was in training at forthood when on december 26 1942
He received a call from ira baldoin and if that name sounds familiar because we talked about in episode one
He was the scientist who was so desperate to get like shit going in terms of testing like lsd and stuff
um
baldoin was also his thesis advisor at university
So that's where their paths cross and baldoin wanted ulson because ulson had studied
aerosol delivery systems at wisconsin
And so at baldoin's request the army transferred ulson to edgwood arsenal in in maryland and a few months later the chemical cores
Uh, which members the renaming of what was happening at four detrick took over camp detrick and ulson moved in
So right then is when camp detrick became taken over by chemical corps
Ulson was discharged from the army in 1944
But remained at camp detrick on a civilian contract
He continued his work into an aerobiology and he co-authored a 220 page study entitled experimental airborne infections that described experiments
Uh with airborne clouds of highly infectious agents at first all to say at first you said that and it made me think of like
Like a book like a cookbook like
experimenting with airborne infections just get two two strains and go crazy
Just follow your heart make a mixture that expresses how you feel at the time
Yeah, that's pretty much what it sounds like and it's so much worse in 1949
He was one of several scientists from court camp detrick who traveled to the caribbean island of antigua
For operation harness which tested the vulnerability of animals to toxic clouds
He regularly would travel from fort terry a secret army base on plumb island off the eastern tip of long island
Which was used to test toxins too deadly to be brought onto the u.s mainland
he became the acting uh
He became the acting chief of the special operations division
Where his job description was to collect data of interest to the division with particular emphasis
The to the medical the medical biological aspects and coordinate his work with quote other agencies conducting work of a similar or related nature
This meant the cia
This meant working with the cia and ulsan specialty was the airborne distribution biological germ
So all this to say while while the story of ulsan and his victimization of his own project basically ended up killing him
Ulsan was heavily a part of not only the creation of mk ultra
But the poisons and he was actively overseeing torture sessions happening in uh black sites across europe
So he was he was the boss of the whole deal
He was so he wasn't the boss of the whole deal. He was just heavily involved in it
So what you're saying is
Yeah, we shouldn't feel bad that he flew out of window. Is that what you're trying to tell me nothing?
He shouldn't feel bad. They wouldn't flew out of window, but he wasn't a nobody
His hands weren't a civilian that was lured in like later on will happen
This is still at the point where the military is testing on their own people
So does this people like this who are like at that level as him
Like do they have a hand in like the magician pie in the poison pie in the bacteria pie?
He has a hand in the bacteria poison pie. He has no and he didn't have a hand in the magician pie
I
Well, I just there has to just be like a writer's room at the top right like it. I don't how do you come up with your ideas?
I don't know. It's just crazy
Well from sorry jesse go ahead
I didn't say they're gonna say something my bad, uh
So from 1944 to 1953 is where he he operated as a civilian within court camp detrick
But he stepped down as acting chief of the special operations division citing stress of the job agitating his ulcers
And then he moved and joined the cia
So he retired from there and then joined the cia instead
He remained with the sod which was officially part of the army
But functioned as a cia research station hidden within a military base
In his laboratory on camp detrick ulcin directed experiments which which involved gassing or poisoning animals
And these experiments disturbed him apparently and his son later recalled in life that he wasn't the right guy for these kinds of things
Now I want you to hold on to that because that's what his son said about his animal testing
but meanwhile
Ulcin was also observing the torture of human beings while he was never a direct torture himself
He observed and monitored torture sessions in several countries
Recalling one study he said quote in cia safe houses in germany ulcin
Or rather they they the the records quoted ulcin witnessed horrific brutal interrogations on a regular basis
Detainees were deemed expendable
Suspected spies or moles security leaks or more
They were literally interrogated to death in experimental methods combining drugs hypnosis and torture to attempt master brainwashing techniques and memory erasing
So they had no evidence that anybody had ever actually been brainwashed ever in the history of mankind
No, no no solid evidence. They were just trying well eventually though all the soldiers were like no
It wasn't brainwashing. We were like well within our right minds. We're good
Yep, and yet they still just like we're like no no brainwashing is going to work out
Yes, they still believe that there is a way to break the human mind and and to program it in such a way that they have total control
I mean, I guess but it's just like
I guess like bad boyfriends been doing that since the beginning of time
Yeah, pretty much
Now during all of this as ulcin's doing his own thing
god liab is of course performing his own experiments the experiments in the in the uh
The apartments that are back right next to each other for a while the thing that would eventually get closed down
But god liab also had a second place that he enjoyed testing things under a bit of a different context
A place by the name of deep creek cabin
Here he was a cabin. It was a cabin in the woods. I'm surprised. Okay
Here he would usually take himself and a handful of scientists as well as inviting others within his field
To enjoy a weekend getaway
Little did those who were going for the getaway know that during these times
All food and drink would be laced and poisoned in some way so he could watch the effects
on his uh on his invited victims
And in november of 1943
Ulcin received a coded invitation to a retreat for a cabin on deep creek lake
For the 18th in 1953
The when the wednesday the week before thanksgiving that year so we're a week before thanksgiving
These retreats were hosted by god liab every few months for the technical services staff in charge of mk ultra and army scientists from the
SOD of chemical corps
Since these men worked so closely together and made sense that they have a relaxed environment to exchange ideas and discuss their projects
Or at the very least that's how god liab pitched it to them
And on 18th of november ulcin was picked up by vincent ruit who had replaced ulcin as the chief of SOD
After he left and joined the cia and they headed to the retreat together
On thursday evening the group got together and about a dozen in total gathered for drink and dinner
Robert lashbrook god liab's right-hand man at the time and one of the few people who knew the full extent of mk
Ultra poured everyone in the room a glass of orange flavored liqueur
Cointreau is that how you say it by the way?
Cointreau you know you're liquor better than i do. Cointreau
Cointreau sorry. Why is this?
Cointreau and everybody
Cointreau I mean it's exactly how it's spelled. Yeah, it's exactly how true
I'm a very very basic man and when it comes to reading
By the way he poured everybody
When it comes to the reading I'm a very very basic man. Basic. I just sound it out man. That's all I do
I don't I don't I don't go any further than that. All right
um
But he poured everybody a glass of of Cointreau and everyone drank very hardly
20 minutes later god liab began to ask if anyone was feeling odd and if everybody was feeling okay
Several spoke up letting them know things were not exactly feeling great
I would never I don't know why but I feel like I never do anything with any of these people if I knew
Anything about them like here have a drink. I'd be like no, dude. I'm good
Like this is this is air hypnosis
Drugging everybody and watching and then 20 minutes later
He stands up grandly dumps his drink into a plant and spins. Is anybody feeling right?
Strange
He pulls out his spinny glasses and slides them on to his eyes everybody's like
It's air hypnosis. They're like god damn it mark
I've tricked you again
Do you feel a little off?
Oh
Well, it's funny because after he asked if anybody was feeling odd and several admitted that they were indeed
Gottlieb revealed grandly that he had spiked the Cointreau. Oh Cointreau quad
Fuck it. Whatever Cointreau Cointreau. Yeah with lsd
Unsurprisingly, this news was not taken well
And everyone soon began to get nervous and get carried away by the drug
Unfortunately, they were not far from gone. They were thinking well. Yeah. Yeah, shit
They were fully understood. They fully understood what what what Gottlieb had told them before eventually they became
Unintelligible Gottlieb even saying that in as time passed in the other room
He could hear them all laughing and speaking incoherently with each other. The mood had lightened
That's what he said anyway
It's like when uh, somebody like did
Gave pcp to the whole cast of titanic in the chowder. Oh my god. What do you remember that? You never heard that story?
No, there's what I mean, it's not for this. It's not a mystery
But but if you ever want to
Have a good ass time go online and look up how one time
Somebody spiked the chowder at the titanic cast party rap party
Uh with pcp
Oh my god, somebody like stabbed somebody else in the face. Like it was a cia, dude
They're still trying to figure out
Brainwashing to this day. It was leo. Absolutely looks like we're gonna get crazy everyone
Anyway, the next morning after the lsd dosing the group was only slightly better off than they were the night prior
The meeting eventually broke up and ulcin headed home to fred rick meller maryland
He never however properly recovered
From that point on ulcin was paranoid
Concerned and questioning a lot of the things he had done in the past and what had happened to him while he was there
Let's be very clear
This is not related to lsd. This is related to your friend
Drugging you
You mean like I don't know who to trust anymore. That's what that is
Absolutely correct. Initially when I was doing the reading a lot of like his actions for a minute
I was like, did he experience like ego death? I wonder and like everything felt different
But it became clear the more you we go. It is truly like. Oh my god. Who can I trust?
When ulcin returned home, he was a changed man completely
He was no longer able to focus and he was incredibly distant
He eventually blurted to his wife the following
I've made a terrible mistake
He did not elaborate made a huge mistake michael exactly
Yeah, he did not elaborate and in an effort to cheer everyone up
Ulcin and his wife alice attended the movies. So she he simply said to her
I've made a terrible mistake and then it was like we got to go to the movies
Let's just throw in future. I'm gonna chill out for a couple hours. Yeah, let's just fucking go
Unfortunately, the film was martin luther the story of a man stricken by conscious who decides to risk everything by proclaiming
He believes it was very eerily prescient of what was to come
On monday the 23rd of november still in 1953
Ulcin showed up early to work at camp detrick and waited for ruit to show up
Even four days on from the exposure. This is four days after it all happened
Neither was feeling up to par and ulcin began to vomit out his fears and doubts toward ruit directly
Asking himself as she if he should resign or if he should be fired
Ruit attempted to calm ulcin the best he could
But this scenario repeated the next day and it was then that ruit decided that ulcin needed more help
And where could help be found but in new york city
See the smart decision would be for ruit to take got liab to a proper hospital or institution to be treated
But that's not how things worked with an mk ultra or the government at this point
Ruit called got liab who suggested that they actually take ulcin to a man by the name of herald abramson
Ulcin agreed and went back to pack his suitcase and say goodbye to his family letting them know that he was going to get treatment and hopefully be better
Alice's wife accompanied him on the first leg of the journey to washington where ulcin and ruit would continue on to new york
Ulcin promised his wife that he would be home from thanksgiving and the couple said goodbye
It was here that they also picked up lashbrook for the journey, but his wife would never see him again
Ruit took ulcin to abramson where ulcin told abramson everything that had been happening since the original dosing
abramson was a doctor
but he was a doctor directly under the employ of mk ultra and uh very very um
Seriously put the secrets of mk ultra as a priority above those
The of the lives that he oversaw
abramson eventually joined the trio
Bring a bottle of bourbon and several tablets of nem butol a bar our barbituate used to induce sleep
But not recommended in conjunction with alcohol. Unfortunately that didn't happen
And the group talked until midnight and abramson advised that ulcin take a couple nem a nem butol before bed
Now it's very important to note here that abramson was not a psychiatrist
He was chosen for his loyalty to mk ultra and his experience with lsd specifically
Just he's like a sherpa. He's like a like drug sherpa. He'd know he does have medical training
But he's not a psychiatrist. He's more of just like a doctor like a physician. Okay. Yeah, not he's not not this
The next morning ruit then took ulcin to cease to see cia contracted magician john mulholland
A later report suggested that mulholland may have tried to hypnotize ulcin which caused the paranoia ulcin felt later on
no fucking way the building
which
To flee the building which he did and then ruit had to go in pursuit so
We don't know we have no idea but it's just from tangential interviews and in memos
We think mulholland was like all right
We're gonna hypnosis him out of lsd problems and it freaked him out and he fucking ran and ruit chaser
Here's the thing right about that, right?
It doesn't work. No. No, just go online and look up a video of somebody taking salvia
Right, if you if you just look it up like there's the there's the famous guy who does the who does driving on salvia
That's a great video. Don't watch that one watch
Like there's usually a video of two boys. Yeah, somebody in a living room
Yeah, yeah, and they they hit like a big ass bong full of salvia
Binds
It only lasts it only lasts a few minutes. It's it's probably more disorienting than lsd
I would have to say but nine times out of ten somebody's going out the damn window somebody just walks out the goddamn window
Well, he didn't walk out the window here. He just ran out the building paranoid from this encounter with john mulholland
But uh, honestly any any magician makes me paranoid. You can't trust them dude. I'm just saying like there's something about
being
Like uh psychedically enhanced that you want to be now outside
And now i'm going to return your sanity on the count of three. You are sane one sane sane sane sane sane
Three and he just runs out the building probably then yeah, no, probably
However, ruit did eventually catch up to ulcin in the next morning ruit took ulcin to see uh, i'm sorry
The that night rather ruit caught up to ulcin and then ruit and ulcin went and caught up with lashbrook
Who then they took on uh, the three of them took a stroll along broadway and purchased tickets for the musical me and juliet
ulcin insisted on leaving at intermission
Fearing he would be arrested at the end of the show for some reason or another
And despite ruit personally guaranteeing ulcin would make it home for Thanksgiving
Just just because he's like fucking wild and out like he's just having a freak out
Yeah, so well, yeah, hang on one second. We finished this part and i'll i'll talk a little we're gonna dive in a little bit more
So he but ruit personally guaranteed ulcin would be home by Thanksgiving
But ulcin insisted on leaving no matter what lashbrook however remained at the theater to finish the musical
While ruit and ulcin returned to the statler hotel for bed
So at this point we're four days out after his lsd experience and at this point we're you know, we're not going into too deeply but
ulcin is is
Not only just paranoid with ruit, but he's openly speaking with people about what he thinks he should do
He's at a point right now where he is on the verge of
Starting to just tell people like you want me to tell people what actually is happening. We're torturing people
We're like doing this. Yes, but but it's because it happened to him
And once it happened to him suddenly his conscience kind of kicked in about the whole thing
But on top of it because it happened to him and it was who happened to somebody who he
Implicitly trusted and was his higher up
He now is is doing that whole thing where you see in spy movies where like he's waffling back and forth
And whether she should come clean and come not come clean and he's telling all the wrong people
He's like the classic guy that the action hero needs to come get like john wicks coming in to get you out
Literally, yeah, correct somebody who has the betterment of the country in mind
The superhero of the movie needs to come in and scoop him out
But it's not going to happen and everybody he's talking to are people he thought he could trust
But they all have mk ultra as their priority over him
Regardless the next morning ruit woke up at 5 30
This is now Thanksgiving morning to discover that olsen had gone missing
Ruit collected flashbrook who had finished the musical the night before and they began their search
Lucky for them. Olsen was just sitting in the lobby of the hotel and told them that he had been
He had wandered aimlessly through the city and thrown away his all of his wallet and all of his ids
So while they went to bed
Olsen literally went to the new york city and hooked all forms of identification and his wallet gone
Dude, this guy just lost his mind. This guy was not ready for prime time
No, absolutely not
Olsen still planned on being home for dinner, however with his family and the trio of lashbrook olsen and ruit boarded a plane to washington
Ruit and olsen got into a car to return olsen to his family
But soon after they began the journey olsen demanded that the car stop right now
Explaining that he was ashamed to see his family in his current state and he could not bear to show his face to them
Ruit suggested olsen may benefit from another session with abramson and olsen
Relented and agreed
The pair instead of driving back home for thanksgiving drove back to washington and picked lashbrook back up
And got liip who had broken his holiday plans after hearing about the morning's incident also joined them
Olsen olsen was very quickly becoming a big security risk to mk ultra
Got liip ordered ruit to drive to maryland and tell the olsen family that frank would not be home for dinner
Then ruit lashbrook and olsen drove back to washington and took a return flight to new york
Olsen and lashbrook took a taxi to abramson's weekend home on long island where abramson remember the doctor
Spent an hour with olsen and 20 minutes
Uh, I spent an hour with olsen and 20 minutes with lashbrook before checking into a guest house at a nearby cold spring harbor
The next morning abramson lashbrook and olsen
drove back to manhattan
abramson conducted another session with olsen and persuaded him that he should agree to be hospitalized as a voluntary patient
rather than a committed rather than a commitment by legal authority
And at at a maryland sanatorium known as chestnut lodge
Olsen and lashbrook left and checked into statler hotel for one last night in room 1018 a
With the intent of going to chestnut lodge the next day
That night over dinner olsen told lashbrook that he was actually looking forward to his hospitalization
Using on what books he would read and how he would keep himself entertained
Almost as though it would be a getaway that would get everything set straight
Lashbrook later recounted that he was quote almost the dr. Olsen. I knew before the experiment end quote
After dinner olsen returned to the room
Washed his socks in the sink watch television for a little while and laid down for sleep
But he would not see the next day as at 2 55 in the morning
Olsen went out the window
toed
Immediately after olsen had gone through the window lashbrook called gotly ab to report what happened
Gottlieb then dialed the number to the duty officer at cia headquarters
and Gottlieb reported that there had been an incident in a hotel in new york city
Involving a death and that it required immediate action
The duty officer phoned sheffield edwards and told him that quote an agency employee assigned to an eye
Oh eyes only project at camp detrick had committed suicide in new york end quote
Edwards gave the duty officer two instructions
one call lashbrook and form him to move to another room in the statler hotel and quote
Talk to nobody until we get someone there with him
and two
Summon Gottlieb and Gottlieb's boss chief of technical services staff gib gibbons to quarters eye
An unmarked cia building near the Lincoln memorial. They were moving everybody into position getting everybody set up for the cover-up
Edwards met with Gottlieb and Gibbons and later reported that he quote questioned dr. Gibbons and dr. Gottlieb at some length on certain matters
That had occurred prior to this incident
Edwards had been the co-creator of bluebird and knew what information he was looking for in this investigation
Bluebird being the one remember they named it that because they tried to get their people to sing like a bird
It was more interrogation techniques with torture mind control, etc
And it was during this question and the Gottlieb revealed a key piece of the puzzle
Olsen cia colleagues have given him lsd without his knowledge nine days before his death. This is at the the cabin
From there edwards designed from there edwards finally was able to design a proper cover-up
Can I
Actually never mind. I think you're about to say it. My question is and we'll see if we get there
We know what happened
Now today
But at the time
What did they say?
Was the reason for his death and I think that's what you're getting to we're literally getting into it
Gotcha. So edwards doing the investigation wasn't doing the investigation to get the truth
He was doing the investigation to know how to set the cover-up
So first the first step on the cover-up the new york police would be persuaded not to investigate and to cooperate and misleading the press
Second a fake career would be constructed for lashbrook who was the sole witness
Who as the sole witness would be questioned by investigators and could under no circumstances be recognized as working for the cia
much less mk ultra
third the olsen family would have to be informed
Placated and kept cooperative. This became godly of the assignment
Find a trusted man to break the news to the now widow and this job fell to vincent ruit
The man who was ushering him around and the one who the wife knew rather well
And they all went along with it
Ruin ruit told alice olsen that her husband had been a new york hotel and quote fell or jumped
Through the window to his death
This phrase came to haunt the nine-year eric olsen the nine-year-old eric olsen
So the son heard this and he never forgot it. How could you?
right
Back in new york agent james mccord known at that point in time simply as agent mixy
Arrived the statler to make the police investigation disappear. It's true. He actually his name didn't come out for another decade or two
I believe it was early l 80s when we learned who this man was
But at the time it was simply we only knew him as agent mixy
This is ridiculous. He went he joined and arrived at the statler hotel to make the police investigation disappear
mccord is a footnote in american political history for being one of the watergate burglars by the way
mixy later
Yeah, ten years later. He's yeah, he's the watergate burglar. Yeah
Mccord spent an hour questioning lashbrook who had just escaped from his detention with new york's fourth 14th precinct
mccord told lashbrook to go to the morgue to identify olsen's body while mccord himself searched room 1018a in nearby rooms
When lashbrook returned he made a series of calls one of which was to got liib who suggested lashbrook go to abram sins that night
Pick up a report and bring the burrport to washington and lashbrook acquired the report to
And took it back to washington on the midnight train
I know a lot of names are flying around so if there's somebody you forget who it is just ask and I will clarify for you
CIA security officers took care of the remaining details while investigating police detectives concluded that olsen had died of multiple fractures
Quote subsequent upon a jump or fall quote. This is what became the official narrative
So that's that was a narrative jesse. He jumped or fell out of a window. Do they say why suicide?
Like why did he commit suicide in their in their estimation?
What they tell the family stress from his jobs prior uh things that led up to like the basically like
Unfortunately for the family they they have the luxury of saying he was part of top secret things that we can't talk about
Right because that's like what he's saying to them at home too, right? Yeah, but there's still more
So we'll keep going
After olsen's funeral lashbrook and got liab visited alice
They both told alice that her husband was a fine man and that he would be sorely missed
Alice was gracious and hospitable, but she speculated that they had come back to check on her to see uh
Pay him back to check on her to see if she was going to be a risk to them or the organization
So alice ain't stupid. She's been with her husband for however many years
She immediately assumed that they were here trying to placate her and she went along
Saying everything was fine and that she'd be okay
The cia general counsel lorenz lorenz houston spent two weeks reviewing what he called quote
All the information available to the agency relating to the death of dr. Frank olsen
He summarized his findings in a memorandum
It is my conclusion that the death of dr. Olsen is the result of circumstances arising out of an experiment
Undertaken in the course of his official duties for the u.s. Government and that there is therefore a direct casual connection between the accident
And his death
I am not happy with what seems to be a very casual attitude on the part of the tss representatives to the way this experiment was
Conducted and to their remarks that this is just one of the risks running with scientific experimentation
A death occurred which might have been prevented and the agency as a whole
Particularly the director were caught completely by surprise in a most embarrassing manner end quote
houston handed the memo to the cia inspector general lineman kirk patrick
An oss veteran who had been with the agency since the very beginning
Dulles had had asked kirk patrick to investigate olsen's death
But was sparse with the details quote some time ago
Olsen had participated in an experiment that might have involved lsd and this experiment might have contributed to a suicide and quote
Yeah, maybe I mean dulles. Yeah, go ahead man. Go ahead get it out. Get it out
I'm watching I basically as this podcast goes who's those who can't see
We watch as alex kind of rises in tension and then we finally get to a point
You just he just goes he just collapses on himself and just goes
I mean they killed him because he was being
Wrong, he was just acting not right, right? Like he was he was he was he was threatening to reveal what was happening
He got him high as fuck and they threw him out a window, right?
We'll find out. Okay. I can't spoil. We can't jump to the end. I'm just saying
But we know we know an ending for sure
We we have a pretty solid ending come on
We will never know for sure because the paperwork and all that shit got destroyed
They put this man on drugs and then they did what uncle phil does to dj jazzy jeff every time he comes over
It's important to know it is important to know though like behind the scenes ruin everybody all the while are talking about how
It's dangerous that olsen keeps that isn't able to keep his shit to himself. Well, I mean
If you think about olsen just as a person
Everything you've said
Literally the man developed all these things that he's like i'm doing this for the good of the country
And i'm creating all of these different things that you know mk ultra and the government are using to see
Are using and then he goes to europe and he sees them use it and he's like
Oh, no
I'm a bad guy
That's but but he was seeing he was seeing all that before his experimentation
It wasn't until after he got experimented on that he suddenly cared
Well, I mean I maybe there is a moment where jesse. I swear to god
I was taking an uber in san jose one time and i was talking to my uber driver and my uber driver went and did
ayahuasca in the jungle
And came back and this was like a weekend trip. She was gonna take she came back and two days later
So he adopted a child. She didn't know she was gonna adopt two days before
Yeah, no, I look I get that drugs can have that effect on you and make you like change
Big things about your life because you sort of open your mind to whatever the universe, but
It it does it does make you think like oh this guy
Realized at a certain point that the things he thought he was doing that were good
Or actually not good at all. Yes, and yeah, I get you know, you can very much understand how the government would be like
Well, he's developed a conscience
Enough of this
Remove him
Yeah, all right
so after houston handed down that memo um the one saying you know kind of being very vague about the the uh
Investigation dulls were also impressed upon kirk patrick that based on allsons verdict of death by quote classified illness
Unquote alice would soon begin receiving survivors benefits and any other conclusion other than classified illness would begin to create problems for her
After interviewing harold abramson kirk patrick turned his report into dulls
Quote there should be immediate there should be immediately established a high-level intra agency board
Which should review all tss experiments and give approval to any in which
Human beings are involved and quote because you know when shit goes bad
The best thing to do is just create a second internal bureau filled with the people that are already on board with this fucking experiment
That'll stop it. Well, they're not gonna stop. They're just gonna get quieter. They're gonna get quieter about it
They're gonna do it in you the on up in an off-site black site
location
dulls who knew the full breath of mk ultra and that his this and that this suggestion could not be followed
Instead chose to sign brief letters on admonishing good gib gibbons
His deputy james drum and got liab the letters were not reprimands and no personal personnel file notations were made
The letters were as follows to gibbons and drum quote
The unwitting application of lsd and an experiment with which you are familiar to be an indication of bad judgment end quote
To got liab he said clean it up gentlemen
Yeah, I have personally reviewed your the files from your office concerning the use of a drug on an unwitting group of individuals
In recommending the unwitting application of the drug to your superior
You did not give sufficient emphasis to the necessity for medical collaboration
And for proper consideration of the rights of the individual to whom it was being administered
This is to inform you that it is my opinion that you exercise poor judgment in this case
That's it
That's what they got here was this 53
53 this this is
Alex is right
I can imagine all these guys and like kind of brown suits
They're like smoky rooms being like clean it up gentlemen
Right, that is exactly what this is. They were like just kill him. Just kill him. Just get him high tail kill him
We'll say it's an accident. We'll cover it up. We'll cover up an accident
No one will ever even
Bother to worry about whether or not we killed him
It doesn't a man puts out a cigarette in an ashtray and they all stand up and they're like get to work gentlemen great
Do you know that's what this is?
A guy in like ridiculously large glasses is like right away, sir. Yeah. Oh, yeah
But that ends 1953
Robert Olson is then dead and the public
Accepts the excuse for his death and his family more or less
Swallows the excuse. I bet that kid. I bet that kid was like. Mm-hmm. Hell no now for now
1954 saw a breakthrough for the government
A chemist by the name of Eli Lilly had finally cracked the code on the Eli Lilly
The Eli Lilly that's like a real that's like a real important name in history. All right, please continue
Maybe this is him or her. I don't know the chemist Eli Lilly had finally cracked the code on lsd and could produce
tonnage quantities of it
The cia paid Eli Lilly
$400,000 in 2020 money. That's very close to four million dollars for a mass purchase of lsd
I gotta look this up a steady supply of lsd
Gottlieb devoted himself to
receiving research projects that might bring the project closer to what he believed
Must be the drugs inner secret. Is that lily like
Cialis
like Eli Lilly as in Eli Lilly the major pharmaceutical company. That's what i'm looking at right now
There are people who did like Eli li li
Yeah, Eli Lilly and company are the huge they do Simbalta the depression drug
They do a bunch of diabetes drugs. They're cialis. They're cialis. It's got to be the same one. It's got to absolutely be the same one
It's his grandson
Ah, it's his last name after fame their quotes Eli Lilly. Okay. Yeah, he cracked lsd
Eli Lilly figured out how to manufacture lsd. Hi. Yeah. Yeah, right?
Oh, wait, what?
The company was founded in 1876. Yeah, this is grand named after colonel Eli Lilly an american pharmaceutical guy
Oh, I guess remember
Eli Lilly Eli Lilly cracked the lsd code without the help of the cia. This is an independent company
This isn't the 50s. You're telling me. Yeah, this is the 50s 1954. You're talking about the actual company not a person
No, the person is his grandson Eli Lilly figured it out
Eli Lilly jr. He's he's the he's the grandson of the of the colonel from the civil war. It's a yeah
It's it's it's a it's a generational down in the 70s. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's one
They his oh, yeah, but that guy but his company go his his grandson goes on the crack a whole damn family right now
He turned lsd into m&m's basically
Yeah, basically
A systemic study would require controlled experimentation, which meant administering lsd to him. It was his art interrupt
It was his grandson
There's his kids were just alia and elinor and then his grandson. Eli Lilly jr. Is this guy
That's what jr. Is that if you want to look up elie lily jr. On uh
On wikipedia
It says elie lily industrialists and the photo is exactly what you imagine an industrialist looks like
MK ultra is also a really great picture. Teddy roseville. That's a very close. Yeah
But MK ultra is a really great starter like truth conspiracy too because MK ultra touches so much real life like crazy stuff
Like this eventually MK ultra dips into the JFK assassination
And like like actuality like JFK was involved in aspects of MK ultra like this touches
so much stuff and
MK ultra not only touches JFK, but it also touches mafia life because it goes directly into the the bay of pigs
Which was
Which if you if you do the researcher like if we might talk about it
Might be the reason that JFK got assassinated by the mafia in the first place a lot of other things, but anyway
um
The systemic studying meant that lsd had to be administered to human subjects in clinical settings where their reactions could be monitored
Neither got liab nor is cater of associates at camp detrick had the facilities or professional staff for a research project of that scale and size
So it would need to be subcontracted out to facilities that could handle it such as hospitals and medical schools
But the facilities could not know that they were under the employ of the cia
so
What the cia did was fund front groups such as the philanthropic
uh
I'm gonna butcher this
gex gex gex gexicator fund gexicator fund
GES
ch i c k t er fund for medical research
And juizaya p macy foundation
Sorry
No, i'm trying to figure out how to pronounce guess. Yeah, how do you spell this good sector?
Gex sector that gexicator gexicator, maybe
But they basically these are all front groups
The philanthropic from front groups of the cia that offered grants to these places for lsd research
There were no lack of takers either
These are just a small list of some of the people that accepted the cia funding without realizing they were being funded by the cia
massachusetts general hospital
Worcester foundation for experimental biology
Ionia state hospital mount sinai hospital the university of pennsylvania, minnesota denver, illinois, oklahoma, rochester, texas and indiana
harvard berkeley city college of new york columbia mit stanford baylor emory george washington
Cornell florida state vanderbilt john hopkins and tulane and a fun fact
Researcher deanna's dad went to florida state university during this time
He was at florida state when they were doing lsd
But it was confirmed that he but he the father confirmed refused medical experiment experimentation that was happening at the time
Let's also be very clear that schools like this have done research, especially for the use of medical marijuana
Yeah, you sign up to do drugs in a lot of these places. That's a thing that happens
It's a it's a thing exactly. It's a thing that happens. Um, so no big deal
medical schools
That's the takeaway right no big deal
And of course medical schools at wane university wane state university boston university new york university and the university of maryland
That was genuinely what what 1954 was for mk ultra mk ultra launched in 53 and kind of launched with an immediate bungle
Then they took m 1954 to figure out how to distribute all this lsd because they had come into it and that was the extent of 1954 for them
1955 would start to see the real ramping up of those
Experimentations the results the unwilling subjects both of military and civilian origin and the horrific things that the next
Seven to eight years of mk ultra would do to this country
And that's what we'll pick up next week. God damn we hit part four
Of what I think is going to be five parts. We could wrap it up next week. Children
Yep, the green show. We could wrap up next week
But I don't think we will I think we'll have five parts. I really want to cover everything
But I really I think olsen was like the the big topic I wanted to cover for today and then next week
It's like man
It's like they flipped a switch in mk ultra and 55 and they were like fuck everything
Let's just do what we want. Well, can I add just a little bit to the end of this olsen saga?
Yes, please I found an article because I was busy. I had to dig. I had to dig
I was like, I gotta know about the kids and about all we are gonna get to that in a later part
But if you want to just talk about it now, you can't
It's fine. Are you talking about 2012 do you have information on that? Yeah, the modern stuff
Yeah
I'm trying to I don't know what you're trying to do. I mean, I don't got nothing to say
It's a guardian article I found from 2012 November 2012
Uh, I don't think I'm referring to a guardian article. I'm looking right now at my script. Well, I gotta go to my I mean

We'll be talking about that because the lawsuit later on is a big big stressor for the cia
