Harold Blauer, a professional tennis player in New York City, died in January, 1953 as a result of a secret Army experiment involving MDA.

Frank Olson (July 17, 1910 - November 28, 1953) was a U.S. Army biological warfare specialist employed at Ft. Detrick, MD, who was first first said to have taken his own life due to depression. Later it came out, in the 1970s, that he had been unwittingly given LSD at a joint meeting between CIA spies and US Army biowarfare experts, who cooperated on biological weapons and toxins and drugs under the umbrella of MKNAOMI and MKULTRA. This was said to have driven him to leap out of a hotel window. Further evidence pointed to the CIA having assassinated Frank Olson over fears that he would reveal the entire U.S. biological warfare program, as well as the chemical interrogation program, to the press.

Frank Olson was a senior U.S. microbiologist at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Maryland. He was recruited from the University of Wisconsin, where his departmental advisor was Ira Baldwin, the civilian scientist who, along with industrial partners like George C. Merck and the U.S. military, established the U.S. bioweapons program in 1943, a time when interest in applying modern technology to warfare was at an all-time high.

His specific research work at Fort Detrick's Special Operations Division has never been revealed, but he was clearly involved in biological weapons research. He had been assigned as a contact with the CIA's Technical Services Staff, run by Dr. Sidney Gottlieb and his deputy Richard Lashbrook regarding experiments with bioweapons, toxins, and mind control drugs. This was the MKNAOMI - MKULTRA program, previously known as Project Artichoke and earlier, Project Bluebird, and justified based on claimed Soviet efforts to create a "Manchurian Candidate." In 1953, as Deputy Acting Head of Special Operations for the CIA, Olson associated with Dr. William Sargant, investigating the use of psychoactive drugs at Britain's Biological Warfare Centre at Porton Down. Hence, he was privy to the innermost secrets of the CIA interrogation and biowarfare programs.

Ed Regis reports that the meeting at which Olson was dosed with LSD took place at Deep Creek Lake:

"Deep Creek Lake was three hours by car from Camp Detrick. On Wednesday morning, November 18, 1953, about a week before Thanksgiving, a group from the SO Division, including Vincent Ruwet, chief of the division, John Schwab, Frank Olson, Ben Wilson, Gerald Yonetz, and John Malinowski, drove out to the retreat."

"On Wednesday morning, November 18, 1953, about a week before Thanksgiving, a group from the SO Division, including Vincent Ruwet, chief of the division, John Schwab, Frank Olson, Ben Wilson, Gerald Yonetz, and John Malinowski, drove out to the retreat...The Detrick group was met at the lodge by Sid Gottlieb, his deputy Robert Lashbrook, and a couple of others from the CIA....On the second day of the retreat, after dinner, Gottlieb spiked a bottle of Cointreau with a small quantity of a substance that he and his TSS colleagues privately referred to as "serunin" but which was in fact lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD."

According to the government's version of events, Olson subsequently suffered severe paranoia and a nervous breakdown. The CIA sent him to New York to see one of their psychiatrists, who recommended that Olson be placed into a mental institution for recovery. This all took place after Olson asked to quit the biowarfare program the week after the retreat:

"Ruwet was surprised to see Olson at 7:30 in the morning, but asked him in. Olson told Ruwet that he was dissatisfied with his own performance at the retreat, that he was experiencing considerable self-doubts, and that in fact he had decided he would like to be out of the germ warfare business. He wanted to leave Camp Detrick and devote his life to something else."

The LSD experience may have lead Olson to this conclusion, but it was one he had been thinking of for some time. The CIA asked him to go to New York to meet with their private psychiatrist, Harold Abramson, who was centrally involved in the "research".

The CIA claimed that on his last night in Manhattan, Olson purposely threw himself out of his tenth-floor hotel room window at the Hotel Pennsylvania, dying on impact. However, when Olson's body was exhumed by a skeptical family, there was some evidence that a blow to the head preceded Olson's exit over the balcony window.

The biological warfare programs and the chemical interrogation programs then remained almost completely hidden from the public, until Nixon's closure of the biowarfare program in 1969 and the Church Committee hearings of 1975.

  • Psychiatrists? These people are sociopathic psychopaths with such a disgusting god-egotism it makes one wonder if they are even human. Total lack of ethics, not to mention the law.

  • thornwell is packing some fucking meat heat

  • What was done to these people is seriously disgusting. Humanity, please stop sinking to these kinds of lows.

  • if i ever become head of the military im gonna wipe out all of these bastards and their kind

  • Total Satanists - these men are.

  • @ComradeAgopian I have one relative that had a traumatic childhood and early adult life that takes a prescription for "emotions". She's been on it so long she is risking permanent damage to her frontal lobe because her "doctor" has her convinced she needs something so she's convinced she can't live without it. Psychiatry is goddamn voodoo. Neuroscience is still incredibly unrefined and, as I stated, little more than pill popping trial and error.

  • @ComradeAgopian Half the people on nerve medicines, anti-deps, and anti-psychs you could probably give a big bag of weed once a week and they'd never know the difference. It's big money pharma bullshit.

  • @ComradeAgopian I had two relatives that worked in the mental health field; one for nearly 50 years. I know the history and the reality of the way medicines are regulated and prescribed as well. It's quackery; nothing more nothing less. Science??? Fucking hilarious.
