MKDELTA, like its parent project MKULTRA, was a mind control and interrogation operation run by the Central Intelligence Agency. It involved the use of LSD and other biochemicals in clandestine operations.
Official Narrative
According to the Church Committee report (Book I, Chapter XVII):
A special procedure, designated MKDELTA, was established to govern the use of MKULTRA materials abroad. Such materials were used on a number of occasions. Because MKULTRA records were destroyed, it is impossible to reconstruct the operational use of MKULTRA materials by the CIA overseas; it has been determined that the use of these materials abroad began in 1953, and possibly as early as 1950[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Drugs were used primarily as an aid to interrogations, but MKULTRA/MKDELTA materials were also used for harassment, discrediting, or disabling purposes[6] [7] [8] [9] [10]
Government documents
- Results of the 1973 Church Committee Hearings, on CIA misdeeds, and the 1984 Iran/Contra Hearings
- The CIA Inspector General's 1963 report on MKULTRA
- U.S. Congress: The Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, Foreign and Military Intelligence
