- LSD –
an acronym for d-lysergic acid diethylanide, a hallucinatory
drug discovered in 1943 by Dr. Albert Hofmann, a researcher at
Switzerland's Sandoz corporation, a pharmaceutical
manufacturer. Subsequently monopolized by the CIA for its
MKULTRA project that developed methods for secretly
controlling people. Still used today by numerous intelligence
agencies and security services for the following functions –
1. disturbance of memory; 2. discrediting by aberrant
behavior; 3. eliciting of information; 4. creation of
dependence; 5. suggestibility. At the CIA's request, in 1954
Eli Lilly & Company developed a method for manufacturing
LSD from publicly available chemicals. The CIA's bungling of
MKULTRA allowed the drug to escape from the lab, where the CIA
lost control of it. LSD subsequently ruined two generations of
young Americans. No CIA officer or contractor was ever
reprimanded or punished.
