Expert Warns 21st Century MKUltra May Already Exist Using AI and Neuroscience
Breaking Points
Congress EXPLODES: MKULTRA, Charles Manson, CIA
"There have been enormous advances in cyber technology. In artificial intelligence, in neuroscience. Covert agencies may have access now to tools for mind control that Sidney Gottlieb could not even have imagined. It may well have been true in 1963 that mind control is a myth, but whether it's still true is uncertain."
Stephen Kinzer, author of the definitive MKUltra book 'Poisoner in Chief', testified before Congress that modern mind control operations may currently exist within U.S. intelligence agencies, leveraging AI and neuroscience advances unavailable during the original 1950s-70s program. He urged the task force to investigate whether contemporary mind control projects are underway and to prevent emergence of a more destructive 21st century version. Kinzer noted the CIA burned most original MKUltra files under Richard Helms, making full historical accountability impossible.
