II. ORLIKOW VS UNITED STATES - CIA SETTLEMENT OF SOME CLAIMS
One researcher known to have been funded by the CIA’s front organization, the
Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology, was Dr. Ewen Cameron.
* Ewen Cameron and the Allan Memorial Institute - Subproject Subproject 68
funded by CIA from March 18, 1957 to June 30, 1960
Without conceding liability, in 1988 the CIA agreed to pay $750,000 to settle
a case brought on behalf of nine plaintiffs who were subjected to federally
funded mind control experiments sponsored by the CIA and conducted by
prominent psychiatrist Ewen Cameron, M.D. The experiments included heavy does
of
LSD, electroshock and psychic driving. Beyond Nuremburg, ABA Journal March
1997,
p.26.
* What the Senate Congressional Record says of the CIA funded experiments
conducted by Cameron under MKULTRA
Information on Cameron’s experiments and the CIA’s effort to stonewall
settlement of the legal case filed by nine of Cameron’s victims is contained in
the Senate Congressional Record:
“THE CIA’S FIRST MAJOR PROJECT IN THE AREA, CALLED ARTICHOKE, WAS
RUDIMENTARY COMPARED TO MKULTRA, WHICH SUCCEEDED IT IN 1953. THROUGH FRONT
ORGANIZATIONS, THE CIA CHANNELED ABOUT $10 MILLION TO DOZENS OF UNIVERSITIES
AND
INDEPENDENT RESEARCHERS”. Congressional Record - Senate, 99th Cong. 1st
Session,
Volume 131 No. 106, Part 2, 131 Cong. Rec. S. 11008 citing The Experiments of
Dr.
D. Ewen Cameron, Washington Post July 28, 1985
“DURING THE WAR, CAMERON WAS PART OF AN INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF
PSYCHIATRISTS AND SOCIAL SCIENTISTS WHO STUDIED THE ORIGINS AND NATURE OF NAZI
CULTURE. HE PUBLISHED NUMEROUS ARTICLES ON MASS PSYCHOLOGY DURING WARTIME”.
Congressional Record - Senate, 99th Cong. 1st Session, Volume 131 No. 106, Part
2,
131 Cong. Rec. S. 11008 quoting The Experiments of Dr. D. Ewen Cameron,
Washington Post July 28, 1985.
“TO ERASE OR ‘DE-PATTERN’ PERSONALITY TRAITS, CAMERON GAVE HIS SUBJECTS
MEGADOSES OF LSD, SUBJECTED THEM TO DRUG-INDUCED “SLEEP THERAPY” FOR UP TO 65
CONSECUTIVE DAYS AND APPLIED ELECTROSHOCK THERAPY AT 75 TIMES THE USUAL
INTENSITY. TO SHAPE NEW BEHAVIOR, CAMERON FORCED THEM TO LISTEN TO REPEATED
RECORDED MESSAGES FOR 16-HOUR INTERVALS, A TECHNIQUE KNOWN AS ‘PSYCHIC
DRIVING,’
CAMERON AND THE CIA WERE INTERESTED IN BRAINWASHING AND THE ABILITY TO
REDIRECT THOUGHT AND ACTION. THE PATIENTS DID NOT CONSENT TO THE TREATMENT AND
WERE NEVER TOLD THEY WERE BEING USED FOR RESEARCH”. Congressional Record -

1985
“CAMERON, WHO DIED OF A HEART ATTACK WHILE MOUNTAIN CLIMBING IN 1967, HAD
BEEN ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT PSYCHIATRISTS IN NORTH AMERICA. A FORMER
PRESIDENT OF BOTH THE CANADIAN AND AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION, HE WAS
SELECTED
TO DIAGNOSE NAZI FIGURES, INCLUDING RUDOLF HESS, DURING THE NUREMBERG

CIA brainwashing to medical breakthroughs: study to look at Cold War research
7/15/07 Dene Moore - Montreal (CP) ….Suddenly, the human psyche was the
new frontier and, thanks to a now-notorious CIA-funded experiment, Montreal
found itself an unlikely hub of activity. At McGill’s Allen Memorial Institute,
Dr. Ewen Cameron believed he could “depattern” patients - an idea that cost
the federal government an undisclosed amount of money this month in an
out-of-court settlement with one former patient. Her lawyer said lawsuits
involving
other people are in the works. While Cameron’s work was the most notorious,
he was hardly alone. Over the next few years, Andrea Tome, a medical historian
at McGill University, will try to document Canada’s dubious Cold War
psychiatric history. “It was happening all over,” Tome said in a recent
interview.
“It’s a race; not an arms race but a race for science, for technological
improvement.” Montreal became a “medical mecca” of sorts, due in no small
part to Cameron’s work and the research training program he established at
McGill. Cameron served at various times as president of the Canadian
Psychiatric
Association and the World Psychiatric Association. His patients were put into
drug-induced comas, given LSD and exposed for days or weeks at a time to
recorded messages. Cameron thought he could “program” the patients without
flaw, an idea that intrigued the CIA enough to provide funding, along with the
Canadian federal government. Patients like Janine Huard, who picked up her
settlement cheque from the Canadian government a few weeks ago, suffered
lifetime effects. “I was a guinea pig,” Huard told The Canadian Press in an
earlier interview. The CIA previously settled lawsuits with several of
Cameron’s
former patients, including Huard. It was unusual, even in the context of the
times but it’s important to understand that it was the 1950s,” said Dr.
Frederick Lowy, who was a junior colleague of Cameron at the institute. There
was a
lot of research and not a lot of rules. “Doctors who thought they could help
a patient by doing something different and new, just did it,” said Lowy, who
went on to become head of psychiatry and dean of medicine at the University
of Toronto…. With the CIA financing, Cameron’s work became part of a project
code-named MK-Ultra, which oversaw 149 similar experiments. More details
about the project surfaced last month in declassified CIA documents. Among the
700-plus pages was a memo to the CIA Management Committee acknowledging that
the agency accepted experimental drugs that were rejected by commercial
manufacturers because of “unfavourable side-effects.” The drugs were tested
on
monkeys and mice and, eventually, armed forces volunteers. “CIA projects weren’
t just being carried out in Montreal,” Tome said. “Clearly there was
something larger going on than just one lunatic fringe doctor at work.”
Indeed,
the CIA and Cameron were not alone. In 1961, 23 inmates at the Kingston
Prison
for Women were given LSD, one of many studies across the country of the drug
which was not yet outlawed. Not all the prisoners consented. Tome said
prisons were, at the time, “the No. 1 source of clinical trial research.”
While
Cameron was conducting his experiments, Dr. Heinz Lehmann was pioneering the
use of anti-psychotic drugs at the Verdun Protestant Hospital in Montreal.
Like Cameron, he was doing it without supervision and without informed patient
consent. Unlike Cameron, his experiments worked. Lehmann had read about a
sedative he thought would be effective for psychiatric patients. “He thought
he
would give it a try on some of his schizophrenic patients,” Tome said. “
Within weeks, he had these incredible remission rates.” The drug was
thorazine,
the first anti-psychotic drug to offer any hope for psychiatric patients.
While Cameron’s experiments were partially funded by the CIA, Lowy said they
were not performed at the behest of the U.S. spy agency.

Ottawa settles brainwashing class action - Allan Memorial Institute.
CIA-funded treatments included electroshock, experimental medication Max
Harrold -
The GazettePublished: 7/5/07 Decades after she was unknowingly brainwashed in
a program funded by the federal government and the U.S. Central Intelligence
Agency, Janine Huard has found some peace of mind in a cash settlement.
Exactly how much, she can’t say, because she agreed to keep the amount secret
as
part of her deal to drop her class-action lawsuit against the federal
government
….On and off for 15 years, Huard received massive electroshock therapy,
experimental pills and was forced to listen to repetitive recorded messages
for
days on end. Huard’s lawyer, Alan Stein, said the amount she received Tuesday
does not exceed the $100,000 the federal government paid to each of 77 other
victims of the brainwashing techniques in 1994. Huard also received some
interest on the money, he said. She and about 200 other victims of the
treatments
were denied the 1994 offer because they were deemed to have suffered less
than those who were paid. In 1989, Huard was one of nine plaintiffs awarded
$67,000 U.S. from the CIA. Stein plans to seek permission to launch a new
class-action lawsuit in Federal Court “within weeks” with another former
brainwashing patient as the central plaintiff. He knows of about 10 former
patients
and 20 relatives of former patients who may be part of the new lawsuit, he
said. They could have access to $100,000, plus as much as $50,000 in interest,
he
said….Until 1964, the Allan’s ex-director, Ewen Cameron, conducted
experiments at the institute, often without the knowledge or permission of
patients.
Some patients were kept in drug-induced comas for months. The experiments
were part of a larger CIA program called MK-ULTRA, which saw LSD administered
to
U.S. prison inmates and patrons of brothels without their knowledge,
according to testimony before a 1977 U.S. Senate committee. Huard entered the
Allan
in 1957 after suffering postpartum depression after the birth of her second
child. Her newborn had become ill and Huard was having trouble sleeping.
Cameron used his experimental techniques on her, mistakenly believing they
could
treat depression.
