Excerpts from Bluebird and the CIA documents sent to Colin Ross, MD under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
�Chapter 7 of the Final Report [of The Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments Oct., 1995] is entitled �Non-therapeutic Research on Children�. In 1961 researchers at Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital gave radioactive iodine to seventy retarded children at Wrentham State School. These institutions also received CIA mind control money through MKULTRA.
Other MKULTRA institutions that injected non-therapeutic radioactive material into children included Johns Hopkins, the University of Minnesota, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. MIT gave radioactive substances to children at the Fernald School by putting it into their food. The Advisory Committee notes that no risks of radioactivity were mentioned in the consent form signed by the parents. The consent form stated that the purpose of the experiments was �helping to improve the nutrition of our children�...
The Advisory Committee says of the nutritional claim, �This was simply not true�. (pg. 344)� -pg. 18.
�Another psychiatrist, whose obituary appeared in the American Journal of Psychiatry 57, was child psychiatrist Dr. Lauretta Bender. Faretra and Bender91 describe an experiment in which they gave LSD or psilocybin to 50 boys age 7 to 15. The children took these hallucinogens daily for weeks or months at a time. The dosage of LSD was 150 micrograms, a hallucinogenic dosage level of the drug equivalent to a strong adult street dose. In another study, children given LSD were 6 to 12 years old32. Some of Dr. Bender�s child subjects received LSD daily for a year or longer31.� -pgs. 78-79.
�Dr. Jose Delgado, a neurosurgeon and professor at Yale, received funding from the Office of Naval Research, the Air Force 657 1st Aeromedical Research Laboratory (Grant # F29600-67-C-0058) and the Public Health Service for brain electrode research on children and adults67, 70, 71, 72, 73, 75, 76,261.� -pgs. 88-89.
�He was able to control the movements of his animal and human subjects by pushing buttons on a remote transmitter box. Another case involved an 11-year old boy who underwent a partial change of identity upon remote stimulation of his brain electrode76.� -pg.90.
�Another patient named Jennie was 14 years old when Drs. Mark and Ervin183 put electrodes in her brain.� -pg 90.
�Like the Tuskeege Syphilis Study and the radiation experiments, the LSD research violated the requirements for informed consent which had been in place since the Nuremberg trials. At Nuremberg, Nazi doctors who experimented with mescaline in the death camps were regarded as war criminals. A decade later, such research was conducted by the leading figures in academic psychiatry in North America, and published in leading medical journals.� -pg. 84.
