plot

MORE than 250 people who claim they
are “brainwashing” victims of America’s Central Intelligence Agency
are set to win a multimillion-dollar legal battle for
compensation.

FILM PARALLEL: Matt Damon as the CIA agent and reprogrammed killer Bourne
Their case resembles the plight of
Hollywood star Matt Damon’s character in the hit movie series that
began with The Bourne Identity.
As in the new follow-up film The Bourne
Ultimatum, they claim that they were guinea pigs in a series of
bizarre experiments to erase their memories and reprogramme
them.
A court in Montreal will decide if they
have a case against the Canadian government, which allowed the
CIA’s controversial mind-control experiments to be carried out
there.
Nine have already each received $67,000
(£33,500) compensation from the spy agency, which has admitted
setting-up an operation codenamed MK-Ultra during the Cold
War.
Many of the chilling details of the
top-secret operation have come to light in an investigation by
former US State Department officer John Marks for his book The
Search For The Manchurian Candidate.
In CIA-speak, a “Manchurian Candidate”
is the name given to an unwitting assassin who is mentally
“programmed” to kill. The phrase refers to the 1964 movie of the
same name starring Frank Sinatra as a brainwashed US
prisoner-of-war.
Using documents released under America’s
Freedom of Information laws, Marks ascertained that the CIA
recruited renowned Scottish psychiatrist Donald Cameron to
mastermind MK-Ultra.
Cameron, an ex-president of the World
Psychiatric Association, chose Montreal’s Allen Memorial Institute
to conduct potentially lethal experiments on non-US
citizens.
Documents reveal he used thousands of
unwitting as well as voluntary subjects to test paralytic drugs,
hallucinogens including LSD and electro-convulsive therapy at 30 to
40 times normal power. Cameron, who died in 1967, also put many
“guinea pigs” into comas for months on end while playing tapes of
repetitive statements in a bid to discover if he could erase
memories, then rebuild them with new information.
During an agonising legal battle which
has raged since 1988, when the CIA paid nine of Cameron’s Canadian
victims $67,000 each, Canada’s government has stonewalled hundreds
of claims.
Up to last week, it had paid $100,000
(£49,700) each to 77 victims whose cases were so extreme that they
were reduced to permanent childlike states.
Last Tuesday Janine Huard, now 79, became
the first “still sane” survivor to be offered compensation, and
legal experts believe her secret settlement will open the
floodgates for other victims.
Janine said: “The money will allow me to
live out my days as I have always wanted, with peace of mind. I am
so exhausted from fighting for so many years.”
