THE HISTORY OF SYNANON AND CHARLES DEDERICH - http://www.paulmorantz.com/cult/the-history-of-synanon-and-charles-dederich/

Dederich became an AA favorite speaker and went to an AA meeting every day. During a bout of paranoia where he would not leave his room, he read Emerson’s “Self Reliance” and using it as a bible he quit his job to devout full time to cleaning up other Alcoholics. He existed on a $35 unemployment check and charity from others. He volunteered for a Dr. Keith Ditman LSD experiment and felt he had a cathartic break through and now understood the world and that good and bad were the same.

Ditman, one of Cohen's former Brentwood residents, was director of the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute's Alcoholism Research Clinic, where he tested LSD on alcoholics. A number of prominent figures passed through the clinic. Besides Wilson, Ditman gave LSD to Chuck Dederich, founder of the antidrug commune Synanon, and Alan Watts, the popularizer of Zen.

In 1959, as LSD was at its peak of medical acceptance, Cohen's antennae began to pick up danger signs. One disturbing trend was that researchers were growing lax in controlling the drug. They began to share LSD in their homes with friends.

Cohen was also concerned that LSD research was being mixed with pseudoscience. Almost from the start, he and Eisner clashed about interpreting their therapy results. "I think that the material we have been getting makes him uncomfortable," she wrote. "In fact, he has said as much." By "material" Eisner meant the vivid sense subjects sometimes had that they were revisiting ancient Egypt, India, or Greece. Huxley, Heard, Hubbard, Eisner, and other researchers considered these impressions to be actual memories of past lives-proof of rein~amation.~~

In addition to reincarnation, pseudoscientists claimed that LSD facilitated extrasensory perception. Huxley and Heard popularized paranormal psychology and published their accounts of LSD experiences in journals of psychical research. Eileen Garrett, founder of the Parapsychology Foundation, experimented with LSD in the 1950s and funded LSD re~earch.~Werfoundation sponsored conferences on psychedelics and ESP in New York City in 1958 and in France in 1959. Insofar as ESP, like reincarnation, lacked academic respectability, Cohen realized that being coupled with ESP would lessen LSD's credibility

April 13, 1953: CIA OKs MK-ULTRA Mind-Control Tests - https://www.wired.com/2010/04/0413mk-ultra-authorized/

By then, the MK-ULTRA project had supposedly been closed. But this was by no means the end to misguided covert government programs, such as the remote-viewing project at SRI. Another, less-organized military project, inspired the story behind the recent film The Men Who Stare at Goats.

THE MILITARY USE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC MICROWAVE AND MIND CONTROL TECHNOLOGY - http://www.oocities.org/ozgurlukprojesi/the_military_use_of_mind_control.html

The U.S. government woke up to the reality of psychotronics when from 1960 to 1965 the American Embassy in Moscow was targeted by a mixture of electromagnetic and microwaves causing a wide range of physical and mental illness among U.S. personel serving there, including the eventual death of the U.S. Ambassador. Dr Stephen Possony, one time Science Advisor to the Department of Defense, now retired, said to me: 'After the death of our ambassador in Moscow, due to contracting leukaemia, and a couple of other employees, it suddenly dawned on us to have a real careful look at what was happening there.'

A huge project got underway. Overall it became known as Project PANDORA, and it included a number of parallel projects, such as Projects TUMS, MUTS, and BAZAR, involving the CIA, Advanced Research Project Agency (ARPA), the State Department, the Navy and the Army.

When the TERP was established, the respective memorandum, dated 21 July 1980, was signed by military representatives including Major General John W. Ord, USAF, MC, Commander, Aerospace Medical Division of Air Force Systems Command; Brigadier General Garrison Rapmund, MC, Commander, U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command; and Captain John D. Bloom, MC, USN, Commanding Officer, Naval Medical Research and Development Command..
