MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History April 13, 1953: CIA Director Allen Dulles launched the MKUltra mind control program. The program ran from 1953 to 1973. It involved giving human subjects LSD and other drugs, often without their knowledge. Then, researchers would try to “weaken” their minds and force confessions through brainwashing and psychological torture. Over 7,000 U.S. war veterans were unwitting test subjects, as well as many Canadian and U.S. civilians. The program was a continuation of Nazi mind-control experiments, which utilized mescaline against Jews and Soviet prisoners, hoping it could be exploited as a “truth” serum. The Office of Strategic Services (OSS), precursor of the CIA, recruited many of these Nazi torturers in the wake of World War II to exploit their knowledge and research. MKUltra was headed by Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, who later devised plans to kill Fidel Castro with an exploding cigar, and saturating his shoes with radioactive thallium to make his beard fall out. He also tried to assassinate Patrice Lumumba, Prime Minister of Congo, with poison. Several well-known liberals and radicals knowingly participated in MKUltra and its OSS predecessors, either as test subjects (e.g., Ken Kesey, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Hunter), or as researchers (e.g., anthropologists Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson). Others who have been alleged to have been victims or volunteers include Sirhan Sirhan, Ted Kaczyinski, Charles Manson, and Whitey Bulger. </p><p>For a really fascinating look at Margaret Mead's and Gregory Bateson’s exploration with hallucinogens and their connection to MKUltra, check out the recent book, Tripping on Utopia, by Benjamin Breen. And for a truly amazing documentary on the 1961 CIA-supported coup in Congo, check out the 2024 documentary, “Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat.” But the film is really about so much more than the coup. It covers Cold War machinations, propaganda, and covert operations in the early 1960s; the superpowers’ jockeying for control of puppet regimes and spheres of influence in the global south; the Pan-African movement; racism in the U.S., the Civil Rights movement, and the repression against it; and, of course, jazz music, including tons of interviews and live footage of Lumumba, Ghanian president and revolutionary Kwame Nkrumah, activist and writer Andree Madeleine Blouin, Malcolm X, Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Miriam Makeba, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, surrealist artist Rene Magritte.<br> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mindcontrol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mindcontrol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/torture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>torture</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lsd</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mkultra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mkultra</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/castro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>castro</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nazis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/oss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oss</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/allenginsberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allenginsberg</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lumumba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lumumba</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/malcolmx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>malcolmx</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/coltrane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coltrane</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/jazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jazz</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/imperialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>imperialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/kenkesey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kenkesey</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/margaretmead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>margaretmead</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/charlesmanson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>charlesmanson</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mescaline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mescaline</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/castro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>castro</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/soviet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>soviet</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/coldwar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coldwar</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nonfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nonfiction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ussr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ussr</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/communism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>communism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/film" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>film</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/documentary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>documentary</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>

February 21, 1965 - Malcolm X, an African-American nationalist and religious leader, was shot and killed in New York City by Black Muslims with whom he had broken the year before, as he began to address his Organization of Afro-American Unity at the Audubon Ballroom in New York City’s Washington Heights. His home had been firebombed just a few days earlier. He was 39.

#OnThisDay in 1965, #MalcolmX was assassinated while giving a speech in Manhattan’s Audubon Ballroom. A fearless advocate for Black liberation, he challenged systemic oppression and called for self-determination. His views on race and justice evolved over time, but his words continue to inspire movements for justice and empowerment.
