Sad Experiments That Were Done To Children In The U.S. In The Mid Twentieth Century

Many of the articles I write in History have good memories or connotations with them. The one I am writing about today does not.

There was a time, not really all that long ago, in American History, where a terrible war had just ended. Both the Soviets and the Americans knew that there were those left in Germany who could be of value if they were taken to their country and provided for. If the Soviets took these geniuses, then they would have the advantage over the Americans. If the Americans took them in, then we would have the advantage, for these people were super intelligent and could be an asset for us.

Who were these people though? They were the scientists and doctors who lived in Germany. They were also very skilled in using mind control programming in their subjects.

America did get many of these brainy people. They were relocated to America, but really were never checked on. No one considered what they were going to do, or what were their plans. They basically were trusted by the government. Did the government know what was going on after they came over and were brought into the governmental programs?

I will post the url for a story on this that happened in the 1950s, to a woman who was a little girl at the time this all started. Her name is Carol Rutz, and she gives a detailed story of what happened during this interview.

Carol Rutz' father and grandfather were into the pornography business. Perhaps that was how they made their living. The father brought Carol to places where she would be used in experimentation by scientists and doctors. Carol's life was a terrifying one, but she did survive and tells her story.

How many more children were affected by this, who are alive today? How do we help them as they work through the many horrible, terrifying memories they might have?

Here is the url for the interview between John Whitehead, of the Rutherford Institute, and Carol Rutz:

Here is an excerpt written by John W. Whitehead concerning this subject:
"In 1953, terrified by rumors of Communist “brainwashing” of prisoners of war during the Korean War, then CIA Director Allen Dulles authorized MKULTRA—a program that quickly became notorious for unusual and inhumane testing that the CIA and U.S. military poured millions of dollars into. In fact, while reviewing the “tests” five years later in 1958, one CIA auditor wrote: “Precautions must be taken not only to protect operations from exposure to enemy forces, but also to conceal these activities from the American public. The knowledge the Agency is engaging in unethical and illicit activities would have serious repercussions in political and diplomatic circles.” Most of the documents detailing day-to-day operations within MKULTRA were destroyed by the CIA in 1972. These included limitless LSD experiments on unknowing victims, as well as experiments with sensory deprivation, electro-shock, brain implants, hypnosis and various forms of torture." (Read more on the web site).

This project has many names which it was given to keep the work hidden. Some of the names are MKULTRA, Project Bluebird, Artichoke, Project Paperclip. Many of the records had been destroyed but there are still many that were not allowed to be destroyed. They are known as 'declassified documents' and can be found and read. 

Read Doctor Colin A. Ross' book on The CIA Doctors. The CIA doctors not only did experiments on children, but extended their experimentation on those who served in the military as well.

 

"The C.I.A. Doctors, (Manitou Communications, 2006), uncovers the truth about violations of human rights by American Psychiatrists in the twentieth century. Documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act and cross-referenced research published in leading medical journals expose the existence of mind altering experiments on unwitting human subjects, paid for by the U.S. government, the U.S. Military and the C.I.A. These experiments which inlcude LSD experiments, sensory deprivation, electroconvulsive treatment, brain electrode implants, radiation experiments and prostitution rings were perpetrated not by a few renegage doctors but by leading psychiatrists, psychologists, neurosurgeons, universities, medical schools and maximum security prisons on American soil. Dr. Ross takes you on a mind-blowing fact finding adventure into the secret world of espionage and Manchurian Candidates. Given our situations in Guantanamo and Abu Graib the only question left unanswered is what are the U.S. Government, psychiatrists and medical schools doing today? The C.I.A. Doctors was originally published as BLUEBIRD: Deliberate Creation of Multiple Personality by Psychiatrists in 2000."
