Tight-Lipped
West remains tight-lipped about these and other experiments and activities which are under examination by Freedom. Walter Bowart, author of Operation Mind Control, described West as perhaps the chief advocate of mind control in America today. From his participation in the development of brainwashing techniques for the U.S. Air Force to his involvement in the CIAs famous MK-Ultra projects, West has figured so prominently in the research and development of the invisible war1 that his public career appears like a carefully constructed espionage cover.
Between 1974 and 1989, West received at least $5,110,099 in grants from the federal government, channeled through the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a major funding conduit for CIA programs. Many millions more poured into the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute that West headed, including over $14 million in federal funds in one fiscal year before he stepped down.
West has continued to advocate psychiatric drugs to treat virtually everything, holding that clinging to the drug-free state of mind is an antiquated position for anyone. Indeed, the unspoken thrust behind his career has been the control of individuals and whole populations through covert means.
