{Sam Smith's Progressive linked to the wsws.org on this topic, Project Artichoke etc. only he .com'ed it instead of .org'ing it. so for what it's worth or FWIW as they say here's the Frank Olson site, run by his son, and now I'm off through the archives
now I'm back with:
}Nebel was the Art Bell of his day, and his all-night radio show had an audience of several millions, but that night, his mind was not on Watergate or Vietnam. He had just married a woman whose face had graced the covers of 11 major national magazines in a single month in 1943. During the Pacific campaign in World War II, photos of Candy in a white polka-dot bathing suit adorned the interiors of ships, tanks, and foxholes.

It had been a lightning courtship – barely 28 days – so Nebel did not know his wife all that well. During the reception, he noticed a curious change come over her; within a very short time, she lost all her natural charm and exuberance. Her voice changed to that of another woman entirely and her normally fluid posture stiffened. Dining in the Ho Ho Chinese restaurant later that evening, Nebel noticed the transformation again; it was as if she were uncomfortable with the Chinese decor, wall-mirrors and candles.

While preparing for bed, Candy began speaking again in the voice Nebel had heard earlier. Even more alarming, this strange personality within Candy had a completely different attitude towards him; ‘she’ sounded cruel, mocking and cold. When Nebel asked her about it, Candy was astonished; she hadn’t noticed the emergence of another voice or personality

{then this:
}Curiously, "remote viewing" was an old story, first reported by Anderson himself on 23 April 1984. Other Anderson columns of U.S. and Soviet interest in psychic research date back to 1981. Anderson's October 29 update reported that this project, which for a time was contracted out to the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), had been scaled back and put under Pentagon sponsorship, but nevertheless continued. Although the results of these experiments were reportedly mixed, the project retains its defenders in Congress: Sen. Claiborne Pell (D-RI) and Rep. Charlie Rose (D-NC). By 1995, Anderson didn't have an opinion on the merits of this research, but his 1984 column was supportive. On Nightline, former CIA director Robert Gates implied that pressure from members of Congress drove the CIA's original involvement.

Another of Ted Koppel's CIA guests, identified only as "Norm," was a technical advisor for CIA deputy director John McMahon and, until 1984, a coordinator for the SRI tests. "Norm" did mention the "eight-martini" results from some experiments; this was an in-house term for remote- viewing results so uncannily successful that observers needed eight martinis to recover. Still, the general impression from Koppel's show was dismissive. Only about "fifteen percent" of the experiments, panelists repeated, produced accurate results. Gates argued that such research, if undertaken at all, belongs in the academy.

{and this:
}Abducted with the ‘consent by proxy’ of their parents, Lynn and Cheryl Hersha (aged four and six) are put through a monstrous regimen of torture and experimentation (which, oddly, mirrors the conceit of Paul Anderson’s 1998 sci-fi movie Soldier, starring Kurt Russell). The long-term aim of this dehumanisation is to produce adults with ‘designer’ Multiple Personality Disorder, who will unwittingly serve as assassins and spies – the ‘Secret Weapons’ of the title.

and this scholarly collection:
The beginning point for research in this area should be with the material generated by various congressional hearings in the 1975-1977 timeframe. The items immediately below are particularly relevant.

{from there we go to Canada and a clear and concise gathering of unpleasant facts from the Church of Scientology's activists:
}The Canadian Psychiatric Association has put out some disinformation that has been pretty well ‘bought’ by the Canadian public,” said psychiatrist Colin Ross, author of Bluebird: Deliberate Creation of Multiple Personality by Psychiatrists, in an interview on radio station CKLN in Toronto. “That is that Ewen Cameron was just an isolated incident, it happened a long time ago back in the ‘50s... there were sort of different ethical standards back then.

“Well, that’s not true because that research completely violated the ethical standards of the time, but also it wasn’t an isolated incident.”

Cameron was not the only one receiving intelligence funding, at McGill and at other locations. Documents have revealed, for example, that Raymond Prince was funded at McGill through an MK ULTRA subproject; others received funding through Canada’s Defense Research Board.

Cameron’s MK ULTRA money ultimately came from the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare and the U.S. Department of Defense; the funds were channeled by the CIA through a front group known as the Human Ecology Fund

{and a slight tangent, though relevant:
}Of course I was hoping that incest memory was a one-time isolated incident. But the memories continued - and they were not nightmares. I was wide awake. I was also 44 years old. That is not a coincidence. Most multiples, by the time they realize they are multiples, are between the ages of 35 and 45. There’s a physiological reason for that. As we age, the brain begins to be less able to hold in the secrets - or it could be described as the eroding of the amnesic protection. So until we recognize we are multiple, we are actually amnesia victims. Therein lies a Catch-22. How do you know you have amnesia if you have amnesia?

{back to the scientologists:
} The broad strokes are these: wife of an army intelligence officer, the woman had been drugged, electro-shocked and hypnotized in a willful effort at behavioral control—mind control as we know it today, pain-drug-hypnosis (PDH) as Ron would term it. As another relevant word, it might be mentioned that this pain-drug-hypnosis would finally claim several hundred victims from the periphery of the American intelligence community, allegedly including World War II pinup girl Candy Jones and Robert Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan. That Dianetics proved the only effective antidote to the process would prove significant on several accounts, and especially as regards later federal scrutiny of LRH and his organization. But more to the immediate point was the greater pattern of abuse revealed through succeeding cases encountered between June of 1950 and the spring of 1951.

In hindsight, of course, we now recognize the footprints of a highly extensive psychiatric-intelligence effort to devise a means of dominating human will. Variously conducted under code names Bluebird, Chatter, Artichoke and the MKULTRA umbrella, federal mind-control programs finally involved the testing of psychotropic compounds on several thousand United States citizens.

{so.
a wealth of links in just 20 minutes or so digging. I tried to filter the obviously ungoverned. a thing to keep in mind is that anything way out of the ordinary is camoflaged by that, people are easily turned away by the irrational and desperate, especially when it has no resolve, only that broken spring pleading, the crippled mind seeking validation for something, anything, so that along with a few surreptitious obfuscatory additions to the fringe files, the cattle mutilations etc., not only are the records destroyed on one hand but the possibility of an unbiased hearing is gone too.
elsewhere I wrote a piece about a woman I encountered in Sonoma County back in the 80's. distraught unglamorous middle-aged, she had written all over her white car in black marking pen. I mean ALL over it. it was difficult to read. the smugness that engenders is virtually automatic in anyone. including me. wing nut, with wheels. it had words like CIA and other stuff. I laughed it off. later I thought about it.
where would you go? where could you go? who could help you? what would you tell them? how could you tell them anything?
in the 7th grade I burned through a reading series of 'special tests' and got heavily rewarded for how well I did. I don't remember much about them, but for years, really still, there was/is this hunger for more, the bright future the colorful path opening, and that sense of guidance from a superior loving intelligence. the tests were designed by something called 'SRI'.
about 6 or 7 years ago I started to 'remember' things that were difficult and unpleasant. some of them extremely so. but persevering has given me a kind of depth, a self-knowing I hadn't felt before in my adult life. I have a lot of questions about stuff, but no one to ask. and the world is getting too close to its flashpoint for my personal quest to take precedent. but I thought I'd swing through this and see what came up.}
