Brainwashing Techniques
|
|
|
1.) Assault on Identity"You are not who you think you are" systematic attacks on someones sense of self. "You are not a person" "You are not a man". Under constant attack for days, weeks, and months.
|
2.) GuiltMaking a person feel bad attacking constantly of sin. Ex: "Your an evil person".
|
3.) Self BetryalAgreeing you are bad or not good. Once in guilt the agent, forces through physical or mental harm. To say his family and friends are doing bad also.
|
4.) Breaking Point
The questions of "Am I really me?" "Where am I?" "Who am I?", undergo emotional breakdown. At this point the agents makes or tries to convert them to another belief system that will save him. (His sense of self is up to the agent. They don't know anything about themselves.
Prefrontal Cortex (PFC)- Anterior part of the frontal lobes this region plans complex cognitive behavior, personality expression, decisions making, and moderating social behavior.
Essentially this is what is being washed during the experiment, however brainwashing doesn't fully take over or clean your mind you still have what you had before you would have to find your sense of self to realize you again.
Amygdala
The Amygdala is crucial during the experiment because it processes emotion.
- From breaking down during the procedure to finding your new "self" the emotions can change but again you can get your old or "normal" emotions back.

Project MK-ULTRA
Referred to as CIA's "mind control program"- code name MK is given to illegal program of experiments on humans.
Human Experiments--were meant to identify and develop drugs to make effective interrogation procedures and torture, to weaken the individual to mind-control--very similar to brainwashing.
MK-Agency's Technical Service Staff
Ultra- Previously was the most secret classification of World War II
The project was later renamed-MK-Search
The project tried to produce the perfect truth drug for interrogating SOVIET SPIES.
Most MK-Ultra records were destroyed on purpose in 1973 by CIA director Richard Helms. It is difficult to obtain much more information on the project that included 150 SUB-PROJECTS each individually founded by the CIA and MK Researchers.
The drugs/substances used for mind altering did some of the following:
1.) Substances that promote illogical thinking and impulsiveness to the point where the subject would be discredited in public.
2.) Substances which increase the efficiency of mentation and perception.
3.) Promoting intoxicating effect of alcohol.
4.) Substances/materials which will produce the signs and symptoms of certain diseases so they may be used for malingering
Malingering- exaggerated or feign illness in order to escape duty or work.
Some CIA documents suggest that "Chemical, Biological, and Radiological" means were investigated for mind control during the project.
Hypnosis- Helped recall events in interrogation procedures but were not always effective.
LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide)- Used during interrogations also experimented before use to see what other effects may be by slipping it into coffee without knowing that is causes hallucinations and some of the hallucinations were about monsters in cars and what not.
Other Drugs Used: Connecting Barbiturate IV into one arm and Amphetamine IV into the other arm. The Barbiturate would male them fall asleep following the amphetamine being released causing the subject to bobble and asking them questions could also make useful answers die to the drugs and not being clear on who was asking the questions.
