Apologies if this has been discussed in the thread before but I've just reached the part in the Devil's Chessboard about Lee Harvey Oswald and, well

quote:

Dr. Renatus Hartogs, a German-trained physician who was chief psychiatrist at Youth House, found the intelligent and free-floating Oswald to be such an interesting case that he made the thirteen-year-old the subject of one of his seminars. Hartogs’s psychiatric profile of Oswald—which he would reprise for the Warren Commission a decade later—created the pathological framework by which the alleged assassin would be known for many years to come. Oswald, according to Hartogs, was an “emotionally disturbed, mentally constricted youngster” who was “suspicious and defiant in his attitude toward authority.” While a probation officer had found Lee to be a “small, bright and likable boy” with a reasonable explanation for his truancy—he thought school was “a waste of time” and “the other children made fun of him because of his Texas drawl and his blue jeans”—Hartogs saw Oswald as a walking time bomb. The only reason he had not “acted upon his hostility in an aggressive or destructive fashion” was that he had not yet “developed the courage.” Hartogs himself was a curious case, one of those intrepid explorers of the human mind who—with government encouragement and funding—had been willing to go to the scientific fringes. His résumé included a stint at Montreal’s Allan Memorial Institute, where Dr. Ewen Cameron conducted his diabolical “Sleep Room” experiments. Hartogs went on to work with Dr. Sidney Malitz of the New York State Psychiatric Institute, which received funding from the Army Chemical Corps and the CIA to conduct drug experiments on unsuspecting patients involving LSD and mescaline. Later, after Hartogs was drummed out of psychiatry by a sensational sex scandal, he turned himself into a hypnosis expert.

Gosh it sure is a good thing MKUltra was useless and they never did succeed in their goals to create brainwashed assassins

Another fun Montreal fact is that Peter Dale Scott thinks he may have been semi-involved in one of the MKUltra experiments. He's also apparently from Westmount lol rich neighbourhood where noted luminaries Leonard Cohen, Mordecai Richler and, uh, Kamala Harris, spent a bunch of time, which explains his inability to shed that last bit of anti-communism he has

prob one of the most slept on scientists implicated in this military research is Donald Hebb, in part because he is gigantically famous as a father of neuroplasticity (he invented the phrase “use it or lose it” as applied to neural connections formed through a process now called Hebbian plasticity). thread favourite Alfred McCoy wrote a book called a question of torture where he traces a line from Cameron and Hebb’s work (as well as work by John zubek in Manitoba and John lily) on sensory deprivation to modern forms of torture, which unsurprisingly include a lot of sensory deprivation. Zubek, imo, feels like a willing idiot and edited a text on human sensory deprivation research that I have a copy of. I can upload some pics later today of my favourite section where he lists off all the active research groups at the time, including multiple military institutions, without thinking anything nefarious about it

I'm stupid because of course it's online. Anyways, here's a couple pages brimming with internet search holes for a rainy day. The story arc of #6 is chef's kiss. In addition to Zubek, who presents it here unquestioningly, I think a lot of scientists, potentially including Hebb, were completely oblivious or blinded by rampant careerism. Though Zubek blatantly not mentioning Ewen Cameron in the section on Alan Memorial is a knowing omission.

there’s an article that was published by a lifelong Hebb loving neuroscientist (who helped see Hebb’s book republished and also co-wrote a biography of him) who said McCoy was confused and that Hebb’s work was all about boredom
