I read about MK Ultra, and that is some weird, fucked up shit. Also, most of the records were destroyed, so who knows what else they got up to? Fucking monsters.

I didn't remember exactly but also Japan has that unit 731 or whatever? That was insane as well.

Funny you say that, guess what happened after the war, when they were captured by the Americans?

Total immunity for all their war crimes, in exchange for their research. Apart from a handful who had vivisected American pilots, anyway, but the ones who experimented on Chinese victims got off scot free.

The US would go on to employ chemical and biological warfare extensively in Korea shortly after, as well as in Vietnam.

And the research amounted to “if you torture people enough they die”

Yupp Operation paperclip I think was that one.

Should be listed in this meme too along with cointelpro

Technically, that was with Germany, but a similar idea.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

That's fucking awful. What is wrong with people in power??

Nearly every country has had or currently has some wildly shady shit going on.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 15 points 16 hours ago

Yes indeed. It's almost as if power has the ability to corrupt and people aren't all inherently good.

I mean I can only imagine what's happening with Elon's neuralink tests and trials with locations so close to some of the immigration concentration camps.

[–] youcantreadthis@quokk.au 4 points 13 hours ago

Its probably fine

[–] youcantreadthis@quokk.au 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Whatever happened to the guy in charge of that?
