Big Pharma: The New Paperclip MKUltra Experiment
Fred Gransville
I. A Pill Nation: The New Face of an Old Experiment
Imagine a mother at the pharmacy counter with prescription in hand, wavering under the pharmacist's gaze. Her seven-year-old has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and the physician insists that Adderall is required to facilitate normal functioning in school. Across town, a thirty-something professional is microdosing LSD in order to get through a twelve-hour workday, praying for increased focus and creativity. Retirees are prescribed daily selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), their emotions dulled, their compliance assured. There is no one coercing these patients. There are no white coats pinning them down. But they are, all the same, subjects of what constitutes a grand experiment-voluntary, corporate, and all but invisible.
Experiments like MKUltra once employed far more primitive methodology. LSD was given surreptitiously, electroshock resulted in psychological damage, and patients' autonomy was taken away in the name of medical therapy. Dr. Ewen Cameron's psychic driving tests at McGill University were the worst of the worst: human beings turned into cognitive tabula rasa, reconstructed to do the experimenter's bidding. People believed those horrors would never be repeated. But MKUltra did not disappear. It evolved. Its processes were legalized, industrialized, and normalized through the medium of pharmaceuticals.
The Case Against a Military Intervention to Stop the Gaza Genocide
By David Swanson, World BEYOND War
Have you read “The Case for Military Intervention to Stop the Gaza Genocide“? I don’t mind promoting it to you, since I agree with most of it (and also consider most of it to do absolutely nothing to advance any case for military intervention to stop the Gaza genocide).
The enormous problem we face is not the people who care enough and are desperate enough to make this misguided proposal. The enormous problem is the usual one: corrupt, evil, malfunctioning, and sadistic governments abetted by great masses of people too busy, distracted, ignorant, or uncaring to try anything at all.
Agreeing To Disagree When The Overview Is Definitely Phony
By Sally Dugman
...give up conforming to “group-think”...
From my angle, a not entirely true assessment exists and here is excerpted from it, from Martin Armstrong’s article: The Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force
The people have lost all confidence in government. The people no longer trust the government to handle the cost of living, nor do they trust the data issues on inflation, unemployment, or GDP growth. Americans see their tax dollars spent overseas on issues that do not benefit them in any way, their economic concerns have not been addressed, and they are unable to vote on how public funds are spent—let alone how the US responds to foreign conflicts.

In fact, he may think that he speaks for and represents all of us Americans, but he absolutely does not do so. In fact, I, myself , stand in a definite solitary opposition to his conclusion.
Screens, Pills, the Slow Erosion of Freedom
© 2025 Tracy Turner
America in 2025 is Orwellian, Huxleyean, Bradburyan and Atwoodian.
America’s Early Whispers of Dystopia
The hybrid dystopia we inhabit did not begin with Reagan’s Colgate Hollywood smile in 1981, nor with Orwell’s storyline year of 1984. Its roots stretch back decades, hydroseeded in paranoia, surveillance, and quiet mental pressure.
Long before mass E-surveillance became a Silicon Valley avocation, it was Hoover’s FBI files. Long before Huxley’s soma came bottled as Adderall, it was prescription Phenobarbital lining suburban medicine cabinets. Long before Atwood’s handmaids, women were fighting for autonomy over wombs legislated by men in gray suits. The parabolic arc of America’s slow erosion of freedom and liberty is not sudden-it is quasi-legal mission creep, and often disguised as protection, progress, ease, safety or entertainment.

Mobilization Of U.S. Troops In The Caribbean / Movilización De Tropas De EE.UU En El Caribe
By Gabriel Aguirre, World BEYOND War
The presence of more than 877 military bases around the world, with at least 76 of them in Latin America, together with the presence of the Fourth Fleet, constitute a real threat to peace and stability in the world and particularly in the region. Throughout its history of interventionism and war, the United States has used various narratives to justify its military interventions, most of which have been shown to be misleading justifications for sowing terror and death in various parts of the world.
Recently, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States had the right to send drones to other countries under the pretext of combating drug trafficking. This statement received a very firm response from the president of Mexico, who pointed out that Mexico is a free and sovereign country and that any action of this kind would be condemned.
We Need an Intellectual Cataclysm to Bury Delusions of a Catastrophic Apocalypse?
By Mark Aurelius
Three momentous words: cataclysm, catastrophe and apocalypse all in one title? How to deflate all this hyperbole (if it can be done)?
Well, at least this is not blatant statement about a nuclear war? Although there could be that as well buried within explosive realities.
Throughout recorded time, as we know, or so presume to know it, there has usually been a few minds throwing cynically-cold water on various ballyhooed or celebrated ideas of grandiosity throughout history (including those of a religious faith nature).
I'm Not One of Those Types of Christians
© 2025 Ted Wrong <Rare Trees aht Gee Male Daht Com>
From the depths of the political and spiritual wilderness, I make a confession. Here, my loyalty to Christ stands in stark contrast to the prevailing allegiance to party, nation, or tribe.
There's a litmus test in the Christian community, a divide between Blue and Pink. But it's not about politics. It's about who's a 'True Christian, ' a label often wielded by those full of themselves. They have a built-in meter that judges everyone they meet, giving everyone but themselves an inferior Christianity score.
My journey as a Christian began with my 'Christian' parents. They had their own set of expectations: 'Stop squirming in the Pew… Pay attention to the sermon… Did you say your prayers earnestly? Why are you playing by yourself? This is a church community event.' I always felt like an outsider, struggling to conform to their standards.
Ukraine’s War Economy: Land, Minerals, and the JewKraine Investment Nexus
Katherine Smith PhD
How land reform, privatizations of strategic minerals, and Israel's balancing act reveal the economics driving the war in Ukraine
The Western media have oversimplified the war in Ukraine into morality drama theater: democracy vs. authoritarianism, freedom vs. tyranny. It is emotionally gratifying, but it is a saccharine veil for the politics behind the bullets. Ukraine is not just a war zone but also a global finance frontier, a post-Soviet land reform laboratory, and a treasure chest of strategic minerals desired by the United States, Europe, and Asia in roughly equal proportions. Massive agri-concessions, privatized energy reserves, and contested mining concessions have been sold off over the past decade via Washington-K-Street-supported policies negotiated in Kyiv but conducted in Brussels and international institutions.
If Humans Were As Evil As We’re Usually Told, We'd Be Extinct
By David Swanson, World BEYOND War
"Lord of the Flies is a story made up by a disturbed Nazi..."
Did you know that the murders and rapes and free-for-all violent chaos in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina didn’t actually happen, and that the consistent pattern during major disasters is for people to go out of their way to help each other, for the news media to falsely report murder and mayhem, and for authorities who imagine most people are like themselves to send in armed troops to create a second disaster?
Did you know that the Lord of the Flies is a story made up by a disturbed Nazi afficionado and depicts the opposite of various real-world cases in which kids have treated each other with great kindness?
Two Good Jews — Josh and Leah Lieberman
By Sally Dugman
It, I suppose, is really easy to denigrate and castigate Jews as a whole after watching them laughingly slaughter Palestinian civilians of all ages about which I wrote here: Red Light—Green Light And Other Games Played by Children And Murderers Alike. Moreover, many greedy individuals are looking forward to making more literal and financial killings from the destruction of Palestine as is discussed here: https://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/TPV3/Voices.php/2025/05/20/how-can-anyone-tell-palestinians., How Can Anyone Tell Palestinians and Jews Apart and Who Should Own Palestine?
The fact, though, IS that Jews — like every other self-identified, separate, tribal group — is like all of the rest of them — meaning that they all represent a range of behaviors and aims in their midst’s. So we can easily find light and dark skinned people, Muslims, Christians, Hindus and other groups with moral and kindly individuals, as well as ones amongst them, who are murderous fiends and hateful of ones designated as outliers from their own group.
