MKULTRA--CIA+ Communications Theory

Please help me spread this great video about Operation Paperclip and Operation MKUTRA. It features Christopher Simpson of American University. He is one of the interesting writer on the CIA's involvement in Communications research that built on research pioneered by the Nazis.

Glad you found it usefull. Be sure to check out his books; Its been a while but if I recall, his book Blowback ( not to be confused with Chalmers Johnson book of same name) has some on MKULTRA. It has a lot on Paperclip.

Also, The Science of COercion is a MUST! IT is about the use of intelligence studies as a basis for the new discipline called Communications that developed after WWII. Few things have impacted US politics more than the hatching of this new (pseudo?) discipline!

Ive heard great things about his book The Splendid Bonde Beast. He has also edited a valuable searies of articles called Universities and Empire, about how the Cold War National Security State structured American Universities for fascistic imperialism.
