Is Tyler Robinson MKUltra?

Is Tyler Robinson MKUltra?

|

Time Text
No discussion of political assassination can possibly, possibly be had without at least a reference to the possibility of MKUltra as being a consideration.
Not that it occurred, but we must look at it because for you not to is journalistic and ideological and theoretical malpractice.
MKUltra is a is a cryptonym.
And MK, the first two letters, will designate either a country or a particular clandestine operation.
MK indicated a special form of CIA studies.
People thought it meant mind control, but not really.
But MKUltra is a very real, real clandestine research program that was conducted by the CIA beginning in 1953 and formally halted in the early 70s, so they say.
And any serious discussion of political violence that invokes it must begin with disciplined historical grounding.
Because MKUltra is not mythology.
It is documented.
It is history.
It is real.
And it must be respected.
It's not a crazy conspiracy theory.
And I say this, you must deal with it with respect.
Don't attribute it to everything.
But it is documented history.
And it was uncovered through congressional investigations and declassified records of the Church Committee, the Rockefeller Committee.
After years of denial, they said, okay, it's real.
And the program was initiated during Cold War panic when U.S. Intel leadership feared adversaries had discovered methods to break prisoners and influence behavior.
Remember during the Pueblo and Lloyd Bucher and the North Koreans and, you know, Ryde Captain Ryde and Menticide or brainwashing and the Manchurian candidate.
All of these, some historical, some entertainment themes, all of them come from MKUltra.
And its stated purpose, by the way, was to explore whether the human mind could be influenced, disrupted, manipulated, programmed for interrogation or intelligence advantage.
And what emerged instead, because it was, the idea was that, let's see if we can toughen up our soldiers and agents.
That's not what happened.
That was the cover story.
What emerged instead was a sprawling, unethical network of experiments carried out through universities and hospitals and prisons, military bases, private contractors, Whitey Bulger, Ted Kaczynski.
Go back.
And oftentimes this was done without informed consent involving psychoactive drugs such as LSD, and I mean mega doses, and barbiturates and amphetamines and sensory deprivation, sleep disruption, hypnosis, you name it.
Oh, electroshock, isolation, sexual humiliation, extreme stress, all of these aimed at fracturing identity and memory and agency, responsibility.
And the results were chaotic, inconsistent, scientifically unreliable.
But one finding was absolutely unmistakable.
Extreme psychological trauma combined with chemical or psychological pressure could produce dissociation, memory gaps, confusion, emotional flattening, and post-event incoherence, making any interrogation of someone who has allegedly been involved in some type of a contract hit, making it impossible.
MKUltra began in 1953, remember, and was officially halted in 1973.
I mean, and again, we know this not from leaks or speculation, but from U.S. government admissions.
Makes you wonder, was this a limited hangout?
Did they really want, or were they really revealing this?
I never believe anything they say.
And all that emerged after public pressure in the mid-1970s.
You see, the program was exposed, as I said, through the Church Committee and the Rockefeller Commission, which investigated intelligence abuses following Watergate.
And testimony from CIA officials and surviving documents and victim accounts all confirmed the program's existence, its scope, and the methods.
And crucially, then-CIA director Richard Helms ordered most MKUltra files destroyed in 1973, which is why the full record will never be known.
The CIA maintains MKUltra is no longer active.
Of course, why would we not believe them?
And there's no evidence that specific program continues, but its methods and lessons influenced later psychological operations.
Of course, conducted under new names and new oversight and new secrecy and different legal frameworks.
And by the way, this matters when examining patterns surrounding high-profile political killings or alleged killings, because time and again, suspects are apprehended, displaying the same constellation of symptoms, confusion, weirdness, lack of coherent narratives, emotional detachment, weird laughing, fragmented memory, and inability to explain motive.
Saran Saran, or Sirhan, Sirhan, as we call him, after the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, exhibited amnesia and dissociation and claimed no memory of firing the weapon.
Not only that, the reason why he did it, because he was Jordanian and Bobby Kennedy in Israel, I don't even know what that means.
Mark David Chapman, after killing John Lennon, you remember this, appeared detached, confused, and emotionally blunted, unable to articulate a rational motive beyond vague ideological catcher-in-the-wry stuff.
Remember, he waited for the police.
It was weird.
And in each case, in every one of these cases, that presentation became central to legal strategy because an insanity defense, which by definition means the defendant cannot reliably recount intent or sequence or tell the difference between right and wrong, that all creates procedural dead ends.
Great for the defense, bad for the prosecution.
And it's a good way to get the guy out of commission.
Once the mind is deemed unreliable, testimony collapses.
And any deeper investigation stops altogether.
Why even bother talking to him?
He's nuts.
He's fried.
This isn't accidental, my friend.
It's an old, old legal mechanism that resolves chaos by choosing how to pursue different aspects of mind control and also in closing questions.
Because MKUltra demonstrated that precise behavioral control is not required to achieve strategic effect, only fragmentation, doubt, unreliability.
Because the concept of mind influence is now culturally dismissed as fringe, crazy conspiracy theory, nutso.
Any resemblance is automatically, reflexively ignored, making disbelief itself a protective cover.
You had better not acknowledge this.
And modern influence operations do not require laboratories alone.
They rely on psychological pressure and identity destabilization and information overload and fear and repetition and isolation and narrative collapse, which can all occur through social environments as effectively as through chemicals.
So they're still doing it, but not with drugs.
After violent events, public trauma and urgency combine with an institutional desire for closure.
And when a suspect like Tyler Robinson appears befuddled or confused or emotionally detached or unable to articulate motive, the system roots toward insanity because it simplifies resolution.
It's so easy to understand.
Plus it shelves and destroys any legitimate concern for listening to this person.
That simplification should prompt scrutiny, not certainty.
Because history confirms that broken minds produce convenient answers and scapegoats.
CMK Ultra teaches that governments once justified abuse under secrecy.
They destroyed records to avoid accountability.
And they relied on public disbelief as a protection.
They always do this.
This goes back to that CIA operative about how conspiracy theories are, the term is weaponized.
And all of its legacy is not proof of hidden programming, but a warning about how confusion itself can function as outcome.
How insanity defenses foreclose any kind of further investigation.
And it also shows why dismissing uncomfortable patterns is as dangerous as embracing them without evidence.
You following this?
So what I'm saying is you have this fellow right now.
And don't be surprised.
Who is going to be investigating him?
Did you see his affect?
He looked was perfect.
I don't know what they asked him.
I don't know what they don't know.
Public defense, or the attorney who represents him is most certainly going to use a diminished capacity or insanity defense.
And what better way to use it than to have somebody say, I don't remember, I don't know.
And what's also important, listen to me carefully.
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
It may not be that he's the Manchurian candidate.
It may not be that he's the assassin.
It may not be that he's the person involved in this who doesn't remember so that the assassin, Tyler, can be overlooked.
No.
He might not be able to explain all of the other things that were going on.
the real assassins, the real plans, the real conspiracies, the real shooters, the real activity that he wasn't a part of.
See, you're going to look at him and they're going to tell him, you were it.
It was you.
You were in a blackout.
You were.
And anything you say, anything you say, if he says, I don't remember any of this, he's crazy.
The beautiful part about MK Ultra is this.
Who believes it?
Who believes it?
Who believes it, even though it's been declassified?
But they do believe when somebody is considered crazy.
See, we live in a world, I mentioned, I've said this a million times before.
MK Ultra has been a part of our thinking.
It's been the Russians have been, through their KGB, so far ahead.
They were into investigations with psychics and channeling and remote viewing and ESP.
They are really good.
But we were always hesitant.
We were too parochial to advance this.
There is so much going on right now regarding the mind and the body.
And what I'm telling you, my friend, is very simply this.
This is something you listen to very carefully.
MKUltra is not dead.
They may be doing it differently.
They may not be using drugs anymore.
But there's a way to not only affect individuals, but entire swaths and groups of people, young and old, generations.
Now, here's the issue.
How does Tyler Robinson's lawyer present this?
Good luck.
MK Ultra, what?
Who's going to say, yep, that was it, all right?
And when you say MK Ultra, is it CIA?
Well, it may not be CIA.
It may be some contractor.
It may be a rogue.
I don't know.
We don't know anything.
We don't know.
We don't know anything.
But America right now wants this thing taken care of with a bow on it.
Put together a little box and that's it.
We want it ended.
We don't want to go down this.
But you and I say, oh, no, The more complex it is, the more labyrinthine, the better it is for us.
