CIA Project Artichoke arises from Project Bluebird, researching interrogation methods by studying hypnosis, forced opiate addiction
(and subsequent forced withdrawal), & the use of other chemicals/methods, to produce amnesia & other vulnerable states in subjects. Scope
of the project is outlined in a memo dated January 1952 that states, "Can we get control of an individual to the point where he will
do our bidding against his will & even against fundamental laws of nature, such as self preservation?"
