To push its drugs, the CIA sought help from the university elite. Ike Feldman remembers that time well. ''But it's not the point. I did feel at times that I was having a mind-expanding experience, but this vanished like a dream immediately after the session. He said the tests were observed by psychiatrists, psychologists and pharmacologists. Mr. Sejna had described experiments in which American prisoners were drugged in a program to develop comprehensive interrogation techniques, involving medical, psychological and drug-induced behavior modification.. Remember Jim, he excited, danger is no stranger to an Airborne Ranger. As it turned out that was the last conversation I ever had with Greg Hayward. Itwas as if a long-lost MIA had at last been found and identified, but his family were not notified. Olson was in serious trouble and needed immediate professional attention. Agreeing to make the appropriate arrangements, Lashbrook then phoned Gottlieb. In 1975 after the family press conference the Olson family was immediately assured by the President that the government would provide more restitution. At that time the family consisted of our mother Alice, then 59 years old, Eric, 30, our sister Lisa, 29, and Nils, 26. Poor little bastard just couldnt make it, a 1952 entry says. Whatever restraints on LSD tests had been imposed by the Olson death seem to have been abandoned when the agency received the electrifying news, in October 1954, that Eli Lilly & Company had succeeded in synthesizing the drug in its laboratories. Within days, Colby suddenly turned up missing. 13.29 That Lashbrook would be meeting with Mulholland should not be surprising. Its the rock called failure.. A second explanation for arranging hospitalization is that an alibi would have been needed. Some 50,000 American servicemen had already lost their lives in the conflict and more than 7,000 were prisoners of war. Ive read them through twice, and about all I can do is summarize the impression that they leave on my mind. slipped LSD into Olson's glass of Cointreau.

In all cases, the number of wounds is recorded and each wound is carefully measured and its characteristics described. General William Wild Bill Donovan, the founder of the Office of Strategic Services, Americas World war II spy agency liked to hire Wall Street lawyers and Ivy League academics to commit espionage. The offensive bioweapons program was launched during World War II and ended by President Richard M. Nixon in 1969. If one were to believe the more sinister gossip, its true. And I had no idea what does it mean to fall out of a window. One question is why Lashbrook (or Abramson if that was who the caller was) would have called to arrange hospitalization, possibly to begin as early as that same night, if the intention was to kill the patient. Tic was never given a psychiatri c examination, and after the last test, he suffered within 24 hours what he described as an LSD relapse, Driving his car i that day, he experienced a major loss of coherence.

Single-cut genome editing restores dystrophin expression in a new mouse model of muscular dystrophy. Eric was woken up by his mother and taken down the hall, still wearing his pyjamas, towards the living room the same room where the two of us now sat, on the same sofas. Not only had Mulholland made a living from the execution of these skills, he had gained a reputation as conjurings most accomplished teacher. I do not think again from what I heard, that he was drugged because he was a security agent. Through Gordon Thomas, a British journalist and author of numerous books on intelligence matters, Eric learned that during a trip to London his father had apparently confided in William Sargant, a consultant psychiatrist who advised British intelligence on brainwashing techniques. Inexplicable silence during an interview comes in many tones and hues. More importantly, the window in 1018A was unchanged in its dimensions from 1953, and even the current radiator that had fronted the window then was now a similarly sized heating unit in the same position. Twenty-two years earlier, in the early morning of November 28, 1953, our father died in what we were told was an accident. For those twenty-two years between 1953 and 1975 we knew nothing about how he died or why. But a new ARTICHOKE report was not promising as far as LSD was concerned. They uncovered seven cartons of MKULTRA material. That is argot from Yiddish and will advance nothing youre interested in. If anyone had wanted to unhinge a guy already convinced that he was being drugged against his will, they probably couldnt have done better than to commission an impromptu magic show by a known conjurer of CIA mickey fins. When I asked for his experiential evidence that such a thing had happened in some reported case or cases involving an exhumation many years after the fact, the answer was one that no true scientist would tender. The story told by the government simply did not hold up to scrutiny. Afterward, when he seemed to be suffering from serious side effects, the C.I.A. The basic program, called BLUEBIRD,and soon renamed ARTICHOKE (the code names have no known significance), was the creation of a small group of young, gung-ho CIA operators, former members of the OSS, whom time rose to key positions in the, agency. The lower frontal portion of the head, from the eyes to the throat, can withstand enormous blows without fatal consequences. I dont know if work at TSS deserves to be as hush-hush as is presented to us here, but it is certainly a special place. And there is much ado about dogs, including supplies for a Buster Project. One plan for the dart guns was to knock out guard dogs so U.S. agents could sneak into foreign facilities. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Molecular biology and Endoplasmic reticulum. The Company had never been quite the same since exposure of the Family Jewels. Again, these comments have to be placed in the context of assurances given to us personally by the President of the United States that we would be provided with all relevant information concerning the death of our father. But, if security was a concern, as it would have had to have been, then the question arises as to why the Agencys secure mental health facility in Massachusetts was not considered. Their ultimate purpose, they said, was to imprint what had happened to their father in ''American memory.''. He also founded the Center for Regenerative Science and Medicine at UT Southwestern, which is advancing new strategies for organ regeneration. Period.. A hammer may be picked up almost anywhere in the world. There are receipts for books with suggestive titles: The Assassins, The Enemy Within, Dictionary of Poisons. To be able to now invest energy back into his professional career hopefully, its not too late; he is in his late 50s.

A front-page story headlined Suicide Revealed zeroed in on a sensational item from the just-released report of the Rockefeller Commission, the first of the post-Watergate inquiries into CIA misdeeds. He was accompanied by his boss, Vincent Ruwet and a stranger who was introduced to her as Dr. Robert Lashbrook. He is an actor and producer, known for Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd (2003), Fired Up! In 1998, the Manhattan District Attorneys office reclassified Olsons death cause unknown.. [54]Even so, meetings were not always easy to schedule and Lashbrooks being in NewYork on other business would certainly have made getting together simpler. Rather, like so many nervous liberals of his generation, Murray was both hawk and dove. I saw no lacerations there, nary a one, although Dr. Di Maios report had indicated the presence of multiple abrasions and lacerations. While we were examining the remains prior to the autopsy, Eric Olson arrived and insisted on viewing his fathers remains. But the sensational notion of LSD administered by the CIA served wonderfully to conceal this gap. While the above ground investigations proceeded, the exhumation was given the go-ahead. These cities were home to the US Armys most important facilities in Germany. . The CIA cooperated with each investigation., Olson family attorney Harry Huge said, We are monitoring these developments closely and are very encouraged that we may now have the means to pursue things further. and symptoms of drugs that might be used () We should look into the use of amnesia-producing drugs., 25.34 Voice of Franz Gajdosch-dt./ Former barkeeper at Camp King: Pannier posed variously as a fisherman, an air-quality tester and a driver with a broken-down car. It was the prelude to murder. Only then did he realize that Dr. Olson had catapulted through the rooms closed window, apparently bent on suicide. It was like a comedy routine, like the Marx Brothers Become Covert Assassins, and sometimes it seemed to Eric as if his family were the only people not laughing. Learn more about our lab members contributing to our pivotal research. Hereafter, assassinations in which the subject is unaware will be termed simple; those where the subject is aware but unguarded will be termed chase; those where the victim is guarded will be termed guarded., If the assassin is to die with the subject, the act will be called lost. If the assassin is to escape, the adjective will be safe. It should be noted that no compromises should exist here. While his roots were not really Eastern establishment, the tall, slender Mulholland with his prominent nose and thatch of gray hair certainly looked the part.

Gottlieb proposes I be CIA consultant and I agree. White wrote in his diary June 9, 1952. Later in the evening of that same Tuesday, Abramson visited Olsons hotel room and brought a bottle of bourbon and some Nembutal for Dr. Olson. It looks like an exhibit in a down-at-heel museum of the Cold War. A brilliant chemist with personality tics numerous enough to satisfy a novelists appetite for the aberrant (Norman Mailer and Barbara Kingsolver have immortalized him in their fiction), Gottlieb at the time had not yet been dubbed the CIAs Dr. Strangelove. But a few decades of diligent work and a congressional inquiry or two would eventually remedy that oversight. When asked by the officers who this JM was, Lashbrook indicated he preferred not to identify him because of security reasons and the matter was pressed no further by the detectives.[48]. Vincent Ruwet passed on in 1996. Then in 1975 the Rockefeller Commission, set up by President Ford to examine the extent of the CIAs illegal domestic operations, revealed that an unnamed army scientist had died after CIA experts, experimenting with mind-bending drugs, had secretly slipped him a dose of potent LSD. Viewing it under a stereo microscope left no doubt that this laceration was a unit and not the sum of more than one blow at the same site inflicted at different times or places. Kenneth E. Willard, Joel Willards son, said the same. Some wanted to experience madness firsthand; others sought a mystical union with the beyond. In 1994, an Associated Press reporter discovered the typewritten memo, which quoted an earlier, hand-written note forwarded to Detrick in 1975 by a person described only as retired Army and retired DAC (Army shorthand for Department of the Army Civilian). By late Friday night he was dead. But in the days that followed the press conference it became clear that every journalist had decided to report the story in much the same way. And why, when he went out the window, had Lashbrook failed to summon help or even notify the hotels staff? 43.31 Voice of US Air Force Pilot (Prisoner of War in North Korea): These drugs could be administered surreptitiously with food or drink, and given the bleakness of his existence, they might even offer a brief period of relief and pleasure, thereby creating a whole new category of longingand new leverage for his interrogators.. We talked about a week, ten days, after he came back. One mystery -- entry and exit stamps in Frank Olson's passport, indicating that he had been to Sweden, Germany and Britain in the summer of 1953 -- seemed to offer a crucial clue to his state of mind in the months before his death. This CIA research included an MKULTRA subproject (code name MKNAOMI) in which SOD was to produce and maintain vicious mutant germ strains capable of killing or incapacitating would-be victims. had hired them to do their dirty work. Earlier that morning, Frank Olson had fallen or jumped, as Ruwet put it, from the window of a New York City hotel room. He might have fallen. Pointing to the section on Erics timeline spanning the early 1950s, Cournoyer offered a laconic statement: Korea is the key. This was the historical context he had referred to in the earlier phone call. Upon my inquiring about the conversation between him and Dr. Lashbrook on the morning of Olsons death, I was stunned to hear yet another conflicting account from Lashbrook of the occurrence. Patrick, who joined the bioweapons program in 1951, the year the microbiologist died of anthrax, said unequivocally that the Vollum weapons strain was altered by passage through Boyles body and became Vollum 1B. A failure to recall is but one dubious kind. He recalls this strange night now as a revelation. Alice Olson roused her nine-year-old son, Eric, from bed and led him into the living room. Using the material of a given reality collage brings forth, through transposition, another reality, which reveals the inner essence of that which has become dulled through habituation. Two weeks after that news conference in 1975, the Olson family was invited to the White House for a formal apology from President Gerald R. Ford. And among the beneficiaries of this covert funding would be Harold Abramson, an acquaintance of Gregory Batesons, who was an allergist at New Yorks Mount Sinai Hospital and a CIA consultant to Edgewood Arsenals Paperclip scientists. Education Master in Architecture, Harvard University Email eric.olsen@woodbury.edu News Faculty Spotlight: Eric Olsen on Building and Teaching for the Future April 21, 2020 Contact Us The Cold War was at its height. I made my way unescorted to the District Attorneys office, where by happenstance I met Patricia Cornwall who said she was there researching material for a book. In 1951, Allen Dulles, later appointed director of Central Intelligence, received a report from military sources that the Russians had bought 50 million doses of a new drug from Sandoz Pharmaceuticals in Basel, Switzerland. In fact, it might be argued that, PR-wise, a CIA employee dying in a bungled CIA drug experiment is somewhat less scandalous than an innocent Army civilian as fallguy. Mulholland summed up his suggestions as to what this covert guide would have to contain in a letter that he sent to Gottlieb the following week. Then he insisted he had no clue as to why Olson jumped, but added, irrelevantly, that the dead man had suffered from ulcers. Police initially suspected a homicide with homosexual overtones, but they dropped the matter after Ruwet and Abramson backed Lashbrooks account and hinted at classified government connections. Will the Assassin of Trotsky has never revealed any significant information, it was unsound to depend on this when the act was planned. I spent most of the. In guarded assassination, a good hunting or target rifle should always be considered as a possibility. The notion of a Manchurian Candidate, the idea that someone could be programmed to make statements or commit actions contrary to their own will, bears a very complicated relationship to the Frank Olson story. Hundreds of names, places and dates were blacked out. As he put it, he had been taken in by the reports he received that this death was an uncomplicated out-and-out suicide. Prior to that, according to military and CIA records, he served as the divisions director of planning and intelligence activities and as director of the SO division itself for about 12 months. No, he said, the old cottage is still there. They all say the same thing: that he was pushed out of the window and that he did not jump. It also explains why the Agency was unable to find these MKULTRA documents in response to a subsequent U.S. Senate Select Committee investigation of CIA abuses in 1975. In her explanation of this phenomenon Langer emphasizes the idea that the early phases serve toadumbratevalue. Or Department of Defense? Everest was conquered. Its author, Ed Regis, is like me a former philosophy professor. The American response was MK-ULTRA. Having already received the document package from the CIA, the matter was now officially over. But Dr. Isbells report for the first quarter of 1954 noted that clinical studies at his center were also concerned with intoxication with diethylamide of lysergic acid. In his quarterly report to the CIA, he claimed new insights, including an evaluation of whether the drugs effects varied according to race, age, and social and economic status: We have now studied the subjective changes induced by LSD-25 in more than 50 former narcotic addicts. It was filled with pure Sandoz LSD-25. The conclusion that both Starrs and Eric drew was that someone had knocked Olson out, either while he slept or after a struggle, and then thrown him out the window. Calling upon the combined services of Dr. Vernon Spitzer, also of the University of Colorado in Denver, and Michael Sellbert of Engineering Animation, Inc, we were able to use computer wizardry to see how the ante-mortem photographs of Olson matched the skull from the grave. It remains unclear, however, whether in the strictest legal sense the CIA was guilty of violating international law by conducting its mind-control tests. He wasnt sure we should be in germ warfare, at the end., William P. Walter, 78, who supervised anthrax production at Detrick, says Olsons colleagues were divided about his death. LSD was invented in Switzerland by Albert Hofmann, a researcher for Sandoz pharmaceuticals. A relationship developed between us that became close and remained so until his death in 1988. Theyre not going to fall for this.. The CIA later admitted that they very much enjoyed paranoid thrillers likeThe Manchurian Candidateand they wanted to know if they could create real life brainwashed assassins by pumping people with LSD. My fathers murder crossed a line in the sand which the U.S. government has always publicly respected. The CIAs practice was to maintain no records relating to the planning and approval of MKULTRA programs. Assassination is a term thought to be derived from Hashish, a drug similar to marijuana, said to have been used by Hasan-Dan-Sabah to induce motivation in his followers, who were assigned to carry out political and other murders, usually at the cost of their lives. Under the headlineSuicide Revealed on the front page of theWashington Postwe read the following paragraphs: A civilian employee of the Department of the Army unwittingly took LSD as part of a Central Intelligence Agency test, then jumped 10 floors to his death less than a week later, according to the Rockefeller commission report released yesterday.

To be sure, men such as Dr. Isbell of the Addiction Research Center were perhaps looking only for funding f or their work and might have opposed its use for mind control. White, a world-class drinker known to polish off a bottle of gin at a sitting and get up and walk away, died of liver disease in 1975, two years before MK-ULTRA was first made public. Instead, the son says, his father was killed by the CIA because officials there feared he would divulge classified information concerning the United States use of biological weapons in Korea. He had also told Army researchers that Olsons death had been in the wake of security breaches by him following his 1953 trip overseas, and that only two people knew the complete story about it.

Congress enacted legislation providing $750,000 in compensation to the Olson family. Eric said to me, It very quickly became an incredibly rancorous issue in the family because I was always the kid saying, Excuse me, where did he go? Amazingly, the solution to the mystery had pertained to the most obvious fact of all concerning Frank Olson, but one that was conspicuously missing from the accounts in 1975: Frank Olson was a founding member and in the year prior to his death he was chief of the countrys most secret biological warfare laboratory. Their usual mock weapons were two forms of bacteria, Bacillus globigii (BG) and Serratia marcescens (SM). This fits with what my mother had always said: Korea really bothered your father.

Among the papers were memos written by senior White House staffers and attorneys who were concerned about the possibility of an Olson family lawsuit and the inevitable public disclosure it would entail. The report added that while covert testing was being transferred to the bureau, its chief would disclaim any knowledge of it. This makes Regis next narrative move all the more interesting.

Chamberlain, reads: The Army Inspector General informed me that the Armys Special Operations Division, Fort Detrick (the unit that Frank Olson was in) had a contract for two years with the Psychiatric Institute (1952-53) to test various mescaline-related and other drugs [including LSD] that the Army was interested in. The same narrow focus on value-free science that led Nazi concentration camp doctors to commit atrocities encouraged many of these well-meaning scholars to cross ethical lines. Cournoyer believed so. Eric Olson, an intelligent, educated, introspective man, could have done many things with his life; what he in fact did was work tirelessly against a national security state that, all the while, grew into an utterly unaccountable behemoth. ARTICHOKE had involved extreme methods of interrogation and an attempt to develop a way to produce complete amnesia in questioned subjects or in agents who had seen too much and could no longer be trusted. This information from Cournoyer fit well with what we already knew and with what we would soon learn. Forensic experts are hesitant to assert anything with complete certainty, but they said the death was not a suicide.

In an elaborate 1965 attempt to assess how travelers might be used to spread smallpox, SO Division officers loosed BG in the air at Washington National Airport and at bus stations in Washington, Chicago and San Francisco, then tracked its movement using air samplers disguised as suitcases. The whole subject of the relationship between a wife and a husband who is doing top secret, classified work is a subject one could discuss at some length. It was only two days before Thanksgiving, 1953 but, notwithstanding the importance of his family holiday he insisted he needed to leave for treatment. It was a joy to know them. The report from New York City, from the Medical Examiners office which I had before me was totally inaccurate in some very important respects. Blows should be directed to the temple, the area just below and behind the ear, and the lower, rear portion of the skull. Attorney. We try to assassinate people and we get there too late. But behind the jovial exterior was a hard and determined leader. The Robert A. Welch Distinguished Chair in Science. It all began because the CIA knew the Russians had this LSD shit and they were afraid the KGB was using it to brainwash agents, Feldman told me. Within less than two hours, Lashbrook was set loose and the case was closed out as D.O.A. Early in 2001, Harry Huge reportedly expected the DAs office to declare Olsons death a murder, which would free the Olsons to file a substantial lawsuit. Adam Cray.
