A report that surfaced online provides a detailed account of the once highly classified government project “Artichoke,” carried out by the CIA from 1951 to 1956. Its focus was on behavior control, interrogation techniques, and psychological manipulation.The seven-page document, titled “Special Research on Artichoke,” along with an appendix labeled “Proposed Areas for Special Artichoke Research,” outlines proposals for developing chemicals capable of altering human behavior.Declassified CIA files reveal chilling blueprint to manipulate Americans' minds through covert drugging with vaccines https://t.co/YEkykEZOHJ— Daily Mail (@DailyMail) February 24, 2026It discusses drugs designed for immediate effects, such as “truth serums,” as well as long-term impacts, potentially administered through food, water, alcohol, or cigarettes.Researchers also suggested that such substances could be disguised in medical treatments, including vaccinations or injections.Use of drugs, hypnosis, gases…The CIA also explored methods beyond chemicals, citing hypnosis, sensory deprivation, gases, and other psychological techniques for interrogation and behavior control.“Artichoke” served as a precursor to the CIA’s MKUltra program, which later expanded consciousness-altering experiments on a larger scale.Many files were destroyed in the 1970s, leaving the full scope and advancement of the research unknown.The document was declassified in 1983 but has resurfaced on social media, shocking users who see the CIA discussing methods for “drugging entire populations.”The Artichoke project emerged during the early Cold War, a period marked by intense concern about communist powers and reports of brainwashing techniques used on American prisoners of war in Korea.Internal CIA memos suggest that the agency feared enemy nations had developed ways to control human thoughts and behavior, prompting it to explore its own capabilities.The declassified document reveals the depth of this research, emphasizing the need to study “which drugs are best suited for direct use on subjects, such as amytal and pentothal, and which are best for indirect or long-term approaches.”Experiments on prisoners, soldiers, and patientsResearchers involved in the secret program stressed that long-term compounds should be able to produce “disturbing effects (causing anxiety, nervousness, tension, etc.) or depressive effects (creating feelings of despair, hopelessness, lethargy, etc.).”They also outlined practical considerations for concealment, such as substances that could be secretly introduced into food, water, Coca-Cola, beer, alcohol, cigarettes, etc., highlighting the CIA’s focus on undetectable influence methods.Moreover, the report recommended consulting the Army’s Chemical Warfare Service, noting that they had conducted “extensive studies in this direction” that could provide concrete guidance for the program.Shutterstock/DC StudioIn addition to drugs, “Artichoke” explored a wide range of psychological tools.Parts of the document examined “hypnosis,” “psychological techniques,” and “gases, aerosols, and oxygen deprivation,” indicating that the CIA sought to combine chemical, environmental, and mental approaches.Researchers questioned whether such methods could compel individuals to perform actions against their will, including potentially criminal acts, without being aware of their behavior.Human experiments under Artichoke often involved vulnerable subjects, including prisoners, military personnel, and psychiatric patients, usually without their knowledge or consent.“I saw the camera turn into a dog’s head”Although much of the documentation was destroyed in 1973, the surviving files suggest that the CIA and its collaborators systematically explored the boundaries of psychological manipulation, with ethical considerations often subordinated to perceived national security needs.Artichoke evolved into the broader MKUltra program in 1953, which further expanded experimentation, particularly with hallucinogens such as LSD, according to the Daily Mail.MKUltra included hundreds of subprojects at universities, hospitals, and prisons, many of which used unwitting subjects. The programs sparked outrage when exposed in the 1970s during Congressional hearings, including the Church Committee.Gangster James “Whitey” Bulger, former organized crime boss, was used as a test subject in 1957 while incarcerated in an Atlanta prison.He described being one of eight inmates in a state of panic and paranoia during MKUltra.“Complete loss of appetite. Hallucinations. The room would change shape. Hours of paranoia and feelings of violence,” Bulger wrote.“We experienced terrifying periods of vivid nightmares, even blood coming out of the walls. Guys turning into skeletons in front of me. I saw the camera turn into a dog’s head. I felt like I was going insane.”
