After doing some research on MKUltra, and the precursor of MKUltra, Project/Operation Artichoke, I think I found some interesting connections between the drug of choice during those 2 projects, LSD, and the modern treatment for basically any mental ills, SSRIs.

A little bit of pretext of SSRIs, the drug class we know today as SSRI, or Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor, is a drug class who's defining characteristic is the blocking of the reuptake of the neurotransmitter Serotonin, which is responsible for a number of actions in the brain, including memory, cognition, reward stimulus, etc. By modulating the brain's reuptake of serotonin, this is supposed to treat ills such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and is thusly one of the major classes of drugs doctors prescribe to patients today. The first SSRI that was invented was Zimelidine, by Swedish phamacologist Arvid Carlsson during his career at Swedish company Astra, which is now AstraZeneca. Zimelidine was developed during the 1970s and hit the market in 1982, and was shortly pulled from market in 1984.

A quick rundown of the similarities of LSD and SSRIs:

• Similar method of action. LSD acts like serotonin in the brain, while SSRIs increase serotonin in the brain.
• Similar side effects, like visual snow, anxiety, paranoia, mood swings, etc, as well as the physical effects of flushing of the skin, high heart rate, etc
• LSD is being researched for medicinal/theraputic purposes, while SSRIs are in medical use.
• Both run the risk of an acute illness called Serotonin syndrome.

Given that MKUltra was officially "discontinued" in the early 70s, and the first SSRI was researched during the late 70s, what I think happened was a Lifelog/Facebook analogue, where the CIA's experimentation turned into a mass-market product via Astra AB, now AstraZeneca.

Firstly, AstraZeneca/Astra AB, for those who are not aware, is a cabal company controlled by the Wallenberg family, with Marcus Wallenberg acting as a director of the company. This originally came about from the 1920s, when the original company Astra AB was struggling financially, and the Swedish government had bought them out to create a state monopoly on pharmaceuticals. Jacob Wallenberg was one of the bankers who had organized a buyback of the company from the Swedish government, and estabilishing the Wallenberg's stake in Astra AB.

Secondly, Arvid Carlsson, the credited father of SSRIs, originally got his start in his career as one of the physicians assigned to the "examination" of liberated Nazi prisoners in 1944. Given the root of Project Artichoke, which was replicating Nazi experiments on mind control of prisoners, I find it suspect that Arvid would conviniently be in the position at Cabal-controlled Astra to make the first of it's kind drug that shares very similar effects to LSD, which was a favorite during the research in MKUltra less than a decade after it's disbandonment.

Given all this information, I'm led to believe that SSRIs are the pharmacological descendant of LSD, designed and mass-marketed for the purpose of creating Manchurian candidates for whatever purpose needs done, whether assassinations like the original plan in Project Artichoke, or the modern crop of mass shooters that the news capitalizes on constantly.
