<strong>CIA</strong> <strong>ARTICHOKE</strong> FILES<br />
"Manchurian Candidate" <strong>ARTICHOKE</strong> <strong>CIA</strong> <strong>Files</strong> - <strong>ARTICHOKE</strong> was the <strong>CIA</strong>'S cryptonym for the<br />
study and/or use of special interrogation methods that have been known to included hypnosis, drugs<br />
and total isolation. It grew out of the Agency's <strong>Operation</strong> BLACKBIRD and was a forerunner to the<br />
Agency's MKULTRA.<br />
Project <strong>ARTICHOKE</strong> also known as <strong>Operation</strong> <strong>ARTICHOKE</strong> was run by the <strong>CIA</strong>'s<br />
Office of Scientific Intelligence. The project went deeper into<br />
interrogation methods studied in the <strong>CIA</strong>'s Project BLUEBIRD. <strong>ARTICHOKE</strong><br />
offensive mind control techniques experiments attempted to induce amnesia<br />
and highly suggestive states in its subjects. <strong>ARTICHOKE</strong> focused on the<br />
use of hypnosis, forced morphine addiction, forced morphine addiction<br />
withdrawal, along with other drugs, chemicals, and techniques.<br />
The main focus of the program was summarized in a January 1952 <strong>CIA</strong> memo,<br />
"Can we get control of an individual to the point where he will do our<br />
bidding against his will and even against fundamental laws of nature,<br />
such as self-preservation?"<br />
One program experiment attempted to see if it was possible to produce a<br />
"Manchurian Candidate." In Richard Condon’s 1959 novel "The Manchurian<br />
Candidate" an American soldier, who has been placed into a hypnotic state<br />
by Communist forces, returns home to assassinate on command. Five years<br />
earlier the <strong>CIA</strong> considered the possibility. A January 1954 <strong>CIA</strong> report<br />
asks the question, “Can an individual of [redacted] descent be made to<br />
perform an act of attempted assassination involuntarily under the<br />
influence of <strong>ARTICHOKE</strong>?”
