MK Ultra and Idiot Professors

One reader recently was giving a presentation in a class on a government project known as MK Ultra. He was given an F because his genius of a professor said that the project did not exist. I like my readers and want them to have the best information available.

This link is to the documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act FROM YOUR GOVERNMENT regarding MK Ultra. The documents were obtained by a wonderful young man who is excellent at using the FOIA. His website it called "The Black Vault" and I highly recommend it.

When the information came to public awareness two committees investigated it.

The Church Committee Report

The Rockefeller Report


While it is known that many, if not most, of the documentation was destroyed, enough remained to be horrified. 20,000 retarded children living in state homes fed radioactive cereal, citizens exposed to LSD and viruses to see what would happen. Plenty of bad stuff to go around.

Now, I have previously posted on MK Ultra and did not intend to bring it up again; however, I wanted to provide my reader with all the information necessary to shove it up his idiot of a professor's nose. Clearly the professor didn't even take the time to do an online search or read a history book. That is what is considered a teacher today.

How can students learn when the professors are ignorant and biased. His professor, with no investigation, dismissed it as false and a conspiracy theory. Even a simple Google search would have proven the prof wrong. It doesn't take two seconds. Oh, by the way, search MK Ultra and Unibomber together. That should make your head spin. He was a subject of the program.

Anyways, I do not plan on talking about MK Ultra at present, if you missed the previous post you have the source documents above. What I am more interested in was the "teachers" response. No, wait, he didn't teach, he professed a belief. I would rather be a teacher than a professor. I hate trainers, it is so authoritarian.

MK Ultra was a program that was discovered, partially exposed and investigated by congress. One may reasonably argue that no such program existed and that the government faked that one existed to scare our enemies. That is a possible counter-intelligence move; however, one cannot say that the program was made up by conspiracy theorists and just nonsense. That is stupidity. How could you fail a student without investigating, how can professors be so incompetent?

When I was in University, my professors wanted me to become a Professor and teach Political Science. I was taught the old way, the way of academia. This blog is casual and meant to be amusing, informative, thought provoking and casual. My technical writing is not casual and has more footnotes than writing. I have been a University assistant to Professors, I have taught classes and graded papers in the largest private university in the United States. Apparently, we are now hiring illiterates as Professors.

College should be a place where alternate theories are examined and accepted or rejected based on research, not opinion or bias or stupidity. I offer to my reader who was given the F, I offer to go to that class and talk before it. I will have many handouts and provide information to the students on how to use the FOIA. Professors are not supposed to merely repeat the party line, they are supposed to be eternally investigating, researchers not true believers.
