One of the horrific apeshit things done in CIA mind control research involved dosing sensory deprived people with LSD, thorazine/sedatives, curare and electroconvulsive therapy for ... weeks, and subsuming them in brainwashing "suggestions"

But hey, it happened in Canada, so no harm no foul right? There really should be Nuremberg trials for the sins of the spooks. There won't be though; they run the show. The last time a spook employee got in trouble it was for whistleblowing.
