“My host told me about secret trips my father made to Britain and Germany in the 1950s. These involved various experiments my father had created in what my host called ‘information retrieval’. This involved getting people to reveal information they wanted to keep secret. My father returned to the CIA after his last trip in the late summer of 1953. My host said he was visibly upset. My father had witnessed some of the experiments, which had ended in the deaths of the subjects. They had been ‘terminated’, killed by the CIA officers. By then my father had also become aware that his work had also led to biological weapons being used in the Korean War by the United States. My host said, ‘Korea is the key to your father’s death. It was where the two secret CIA programs — mind control experiments and the use of biological weapons — came together’. ~Eric Olson.
