CIA and other U.S. sponsored experiments dealing with control of animals and people using various techniques during the 1960s and 70s.
In 1964, Professor Jose M.R. Delgado, of Yale University's School of Medicine, invented a device he called a stimoceiver. It was a chip that could alter the brain’s electrical impulses via radio signal. In tests sponsored by the U.S. Office of Naval Research, he implanted the device in the brain of a bull. This film opens shows that experiment and its results. A man in Cordova, Spain, opens a bull ring door to allow a fighting bull to enter. It charges a man holding a cape. Another man fires a dart to sedate the bull. Several men plant electrodes for a stimoceiver in the bull's brain. Next, the bull charges a man holding a cape, but pulls up short before hurting him. The bull chases the cape but never attacks the man as the man uses remote control to influence the animal's behavior. The bull charges around in a circle. Scene shifts to Dolley Madison Parkway (Route 123 in Mclean, Virginia, where sign points toward the CIA headquarters at Langley, Virginia. Narrator lists various techniques examined in the 60s and 70s, including brain surgery; psychosurgery; creation of amnesia; parapsychology; and manipulation of genes. Glimpse of some facilities at CIA headquarters. Change of scene to hearing of the Senate Subcommittee on Health and Scientific Research on September 20, 1977. Chaired by Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the Committee sought information about these activities by the CIA. Narrator says witnesses had agreed to limit information they would provide the Subcommittee. Former narcotics officer Charles Siragusa is seen on camera admitting that the man he reported to at the CIA wanted him not to say anything. Former CIA chemist Robert V. Lashbrook is seen testifying that he has no knowledge about the CIA running safe houses. (Narrator states he ran one of them and that a "surprise LSD experiment" was conducted there.) Scene shifts to a California tennis court, where Dr. Sidney Gottlieb is playing doubles tennis, Narrator says he oversaw those activities at the CIA but destroyed all his records when he retired in 1973. View of a letter he wrote at that time, in which he states he and his colleagues had been able to maintain contact with the leading edge of chemical and biological developments in the field of biological and chemical control of human behavior. View of Dr. Gottlieb entering an ante room where he testified before the Senate Subcommittee on Health and Scientific Research without being filmed because of what his lawyer claimed were health and cardiac problems. View of him on the tennis courts as Narrator states he declined ABC News requests for an interview. Change of scene to George White who retired from the CIA and lives in Stinson Beach, California. View of Stinson Beach from high overlooking vantage point. People jogging on the beach. Narrator states that White wrote to Dr. Gottlieb summing up his career saying, "it was fun fun fun, and where else could a red-blooded American boy lie, kill, and cheat, steal, deceive, rape, and pillage, with the sanction and blessing of the All Highest." Narrator strolls on lawn near the U.S. Capitol building and says it appears doubtful that mind control has been achieved. But work, that we don't know very much about, is continuing in this field. He asks how deeply are the Russians and other dictatorships into this. He notes that the CIA is reluctant to give information about it (such as Project MKUltra) and he questions where such a program fits in a democracy. He notes that one person working on these projects told him there are capable, conscientious, and very capable scientists working for our country, and "their work speaks for itself."
Emmet Lavery, President of the Screenwriters Guild of Los Angeles, is questioned by the HUAC members
Questioning of the President of the Screenwriters Guild of Los Angeles, Mr. Emmet Lavery, by members of the House un-American Activities Committee, including J Parnell Thomas and Robert Stripling, in October 1947. Mr. Lavery speaks into a microphone and answers questions of the Committee. He opens by saying he will break the suspense and states that he is not a Communist and has never been one (even before he is asked.) This elicits laughter from those present in the hearing. In testimony, Emmet Lavery states that he is "a Democrat who in my youth was a Republican, and if the Committee wants to know why I changed..." He is cutoff with response "No we don't want to know..." and again there is laughter. Mr Lavery concedes that there are probably communists in the Guild, but he doesn't know who, by name. He expresses concern that the questioning by the Committee may negatively affect the Guild elections that are approaching. He states that no individuals have control of the Guild. The Committee asks if Trumbo (Dalton Trumbo of the Hollywood Ten) has control of the Guild. Lavery says no. Lavery states that he agrees with J Edgar Hoover of the FBI that it would be wrong to outlaw the Communist party, especially in a time of peace.
