The Envoy
“An old friend of George’s was a Brigadier General in the US Army Chemical Corps and passed on copies of the latest research. ‘They’ve just carried out trials using volunteers from the 82nd Airborne Division. Listen to this.’ George opened the file and read, ‘The next time I saw Sergeant Lynch he had left the ward and was taking a shower in his uniform while smoking a cigar.’ The enthusiasm was worrying. Kit looked into George’s watery blue eyes and tried to detect signs of incipient madness. Pe...rhaps, he thought, the Chemical Corps friend had passed on samples of the drugs too.
‘Don’t you see, Kit, this is the dawning of a new era. Nuclear bombs are soon going to be as obsolete as the crossbow. We’ll saturate the battlefield of the future with chemical clouds of this wonder drug. It won’t burn lungs or harm bodies, but it will change consciousness. Trained killers will turn into lotus-eaters. War without death.’ The project that Uncle George was enthusing about was MK-ULTRA, the Agency’s mind-control programme.MoreLess
