Rep. Luna Says CIA Declassifying Newly Found MKUltra Files

Luna said the CIA is declassifying newly found files as lawmakers pressed for answers on the agency’s secret mind control program.

  • On Tuesday, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna chaired a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on the CIA's MKULTRA program, announcing the agency is declassifying new documents related to a previously unknown 'forgery program'.
  • Operating from 1953 to 1973, the top-secret MKULTRA program involved at least 149 subprojects across 80 institutions and 185 non-government researchers, employing LSD and psychological torture to develop mind control techniques for espionage.
  • Whistleblower James Erdman III testified that approximately 40 boxes of sensitive records were removed from the ODNI during declassification review. Luna is investigating allegations of torture at a German facility and clarified the CIA incident was 'not a raid.'
  • Luna called the program 'criminal in nature,' advocating for a Justice Department task force to investigate potential remains and secure compensation for victims harmed by unwitting experimentation.
  • Although the CIA previously labeled the 25-year effort a 'failure,' Luna and other lawmakers contend Congress was intentionally misled for 50 years, necessitating current efforts to uncover the truth and ensure accountability.
