    • Subproject 19: Develop materials which will cause the victim to age faster/slower in maturity.
  • Subproject 27: Develop materials which will cause temporary/permanent brain damage and loss of memory.
  • Subproject 34: Develop substances which will enhance the ability of individuals to withstand torture and coercion during interrogation and so-called "brain-washing.”
  • Subproject 39: Develop materials and physical methods which will produce amnesia for events preceding and during their use.
  • Subproject 44: Develop physical methods of producing shock and confusion over extended periods of time.
  • Subproject 49: Develop a chemical that can cause blisters.
  • Subproject 53: Develop materials which will cause mental confusion of such a type that the individual under its influence will find it difficult to maintain a fabrication under questioning.

Seeing as the program was officially halted in 1973, none of these experiments could be the one I was a part of — the one ex-Director LeHigh and my mother alluded to.

After two days of research and lining up the dates with my mother’s file, I now had a theory.

In 1970, my mother is recruited into the CIA. While undergoing CIA training at “The Farm,” she shows a certain proclivity for enhanced interrogation.

Meanwhile, Project MK-Ultra is on its way out.

My mother, with a background in chemistry and psychology, and with three years of torture school under her belt, is the perfect candidate to be the phoenix that rises from the ashes of Project MK-Ultra, and the Sleep Control Program is born.

That would account for the eight-year gap, 1973 to 1981, redacted from her file.

For these eight years, she is working double duty as both an interrogation specialist and as the head of the ultra top secret Sleep Control Program.

During this period, I am born, she uses me in one of her experiments, and as a result I develop my super awesome condition.

Something happens in 1985 and my mother leaves. A couple months later, she shows up in Honduras.

What happened in 1985?

Someone had to know.

But if I believed what the new Director of the CIA said — and I had no reason to doubt him as he was brand new and was selected by President Sullivan to clean house and bring about transparency in the 70-year-old agency — no one had heard even a whisper about the Sleep Control Program.

As for MK-Ultra, although the scope of the project was broad, and the program consisted of some 149 subprojects which the Agency contracted out to various universities, research foundations, and similar institutions — at least 80 institutions and 185 private researchers participated — there were only two names deeply connected to the program: Allen Dulles and Sidney Ewen.

Allen Dulles was the Director of the CIA from 1953 to 1961, serving under both President Eisenhower and President Kennedy. Covert operations were a top priority under Eisenhower’s Cold War national security known as the “New Look,” and under Dulles’ direction, the CIA created Project MK-Ultra.
