Project Artichoke: Yes It Is True, Right Back In The 1950’s The CIA Planned to Influence Our Minds & Moods Through Vaccines!

Like so many of you reading this, I have long been suspicious of anything ‘those in authority’ have tried to impose upon me “for my own good.” Experience has shown us, time and time again, that it is hardly ever for YOUR own good, but moreso THEIR own good, be it power, influence, control or good old financial gain.

This all came to a head in early 2021 when we were all panicked into lining up for ‘their’ Covid vaccines that were apparently going to save us all. Yet for those of us who were able to maintain clear heads in that Time of Madness, what we were being told, and the justification for blindly injecting ourselves with an unknown ‘experimental’ treatment just didn’t add up.

But by stepping out of the line and removing ourselves from the frenzy, we became targets of peer pressure, and, in many cases, blatant bullying and irrational mob witch-hunts. What was the most hurtful, and now for many the hardest to forget, is how our close family members turned their backs on us and called us crazy and dangerous conspiracy theorists who were going to “kill grandma” by our selfishness.

Well, as it turns out, history has once again proven that we were not so crazy after all, and that our concerns were indeed very valid.

Every day we read more reports and research findings on just how damaging those mRNA shots were, but so far there have been few who are calling it out as an intentional assault on humanity.

However, a recent report by Stacy Liberatore in the Daily Mail, and by Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D. in the Defender is beginning to change this. Referencing an old declassified document from 1952, they reveal the CIA’s involvement in using vaccines as a delivery mechanism to “manipulate Americans’ minds through covert drugging with vaccines.”

According to Nevradakis in his article that was published in the Defender on Tuesday:

“In the 1950s, the CIA brainstormed ways to secretly perform mind control on humans — including concealing drugs in vaccines and widely consumed food products,” a newly unearthed CIA document revealed. The Daily Mail first reported the story on Monday.

The seven-page document (which you can download with the link below) is titled “Special Research for Artichoke,” and is dated April 23, 1952. It describes a series of ideas for how to develop chemicals designed to alter human behaviour and thought. The proposals contained in the document were part of the CIA’s top-secret Project Artichoke, which ran from 1951 to 1956, according to The Daily Mail.

The document, declassified in 1983, recently circulated on social media. However, it was not published in the CIA’s online reading room until last year. “Some of the suggestions are controversial,” the document states. The proposals included administering drugs in secret as part of a “long-range approach to subjects.”

According to the document: “This study should include chemicals or drugs that can effectively be concealed in common items such as food, water, coca cola, beer, liquor, cigarettes, etc. This type of drug should also be capable of use in standard medical treatments such as vaccinations, shots, etc.”

The document also included a special field of research for “bacteria, plant cultures, fungi, poisons of various types, etc.,” that are “capable of producing illnesses which in turn would produce high fevers, delirium, etc.” This included “species of the mushroom” that “produce a certain type of intoxication and mental derangement.”

Also among the proposals was a suggestion to research “diet” or “dietary deficiencies” on prisoners and on people undergoing interrogation, including using “specially canned foods having elements removed.”

The document included proposals for both short-term and long-term use on humans. Drugs deemed most suitable for long-term use would be designed to produce an “agitating effect (producing anxiety, nervousness, tension, etc.) or a depressing effect (creating a feeling of despondency, hopelessness, lethargy, etc.).”

According to The Daily Mail, the CIA experimented on humans as part of Project Artichoke. The experiments often involved “vulnerable subjects, including prisoners, military personnel and psychiatric patients.” The experiments were usually performed “without informed consent.”

According to Ben Tapper, a Nebraska chiropractor who was included in the “Disinformation Dozen” list in 2021 for questioning vaccine safety, the document exposes “a disturbing reality that government agencies have historically explored ways to manipulate human behaviour through chemical and biological means, including concepts involving food and medical interventions.”

“This is not speculation or conspiracy, and it should deeply concern every American who values bodily autonomy and informed consent,” Tapper said.

The Daily Mail cited CIA documents suggesting that US intelligence agencies were concerned that enemy nations had developed their own mind and behavioural control techniques. This led the agency to prioritize the development of its own methods.

Project Artichoke “served as a precursor” to the MK-Ultra program, which the CIA launched in 1953. That program “broadened mind-altering experiments on a larger scale,” The Daily Mail reported. Many of the documents related to this type of experimentation were destroyed in 1973, “leaving the full extent of the research and how far it progressed unknown.”

Naomi Wolf, Ph.D., CEO of Daily Clout and author of “The Pfizer Papers: Pfizer’s Crimes Against Humanity,” told The Defender that the documents further confirm a long history of intelligence agency research targeting human thought and behaviour. “Sadly, it’s long been established that our intelligence agencies, and those of our enemies, have sought to alter human consciousness and behaviour, often without the subjects’ consent. The existence of MK-Ultra, the clandestine project into which Project Artichoke evolved, is well documented,” Wolf said.

John Leake, vice president of the McCullough Foundation and author of the forthcoming book, “Mind Viruses: America’s Irrational Obsessions,” said, “Researchers have long suspected that the Church Committee‘s revelation of the CIA’s notorious MK-Ultra mind control experiments, mostly using LSD, had the effect of obscuring the agency’s much larger Project Artichoke.”

Leake cited evidence suggesting that a 1951 mass poisoning in Pont-Saint-Esprit, France, in which 250 residents experienced severe hallucinations and seven people died, was a Project Artichoke experiment. The outbreak was officially attributed to contaminated bread from a local bakery.

Leake said the 1952 document is “consistent with the suspicion that the CIA was seeking to discover mind control methods for even large populations.”

In 2024, a Reuters investigation revealed that the CIA operated a secret propaganda campaign involving vaccines in the Philippines. The campaign attacked what the agency perceived as China’s “growing influence” in the country by targeting the Chinese-made Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine through the use of phony online accounts spreading “anti-vax” messaging.

Michael Rectenwald, Ph.D., author of “The Great Reset and the Struggle for Liberty: Unraveling the Global Agenda,” said the Project Artichoke revelations “make it clear that the CIA has posed an enormous threat to U.S. citizens, in addition to the horrors it unleashes on non-U.S. target governments and populations.”
