Abstract

Donald Ewen Cameron is known as the Canadian psychiatrist behind the Montreal Experiments, a series of brainwashing experiments. As part of a larger Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) project known as MK Ultra, the CIA regarded these experiments as a potential military weapon during the Cold War. However, a closer look into Cameron's research and project MK Ultra shows that these experiments began long before Cameron was contacted by the CIA. Additionally, Cameron received funding for his experiments indirectly, so he was probably never aware the money was from the CIA. In this paper, I analyse the published work of Dr Cameron from the beginning of his career to his role in MK Ultra, and evaluate his own possible reasoning behind these experiments.

唐纳德·埃文·卡梅伦的作品:从灵媒驾驶到思想控制实验。
唐纳德·埃文·卡梅伦是加拿大精神病学家,是一系列洗脑实验“蒙特利尔实验”的幕后黑手。作为中央情报局(CIA)名为MK Ultra的大型项目的一部分,CIA认为这些实验是冷战期间潜在的军事武器。然而,仔细观察卡梅隆的研究和MK Ultra项目就会发现,这些实验早在中情局联系卡梅隆之前就开始了。此外,卡梅伦的实验资金是间接获得的,所以他可能从来没有意识到这笔钱是来自中央情报局。在这篇论文中,我分析了卡梅隆博士从他的职业生涯开始到他在思想控制实验中所扮演的角色所发表的作品,并评估了他自己在这些实验背后的可能推理。
