The MKUltra File/CASE 14/1959 – 1962

THE SUBJECTS / KACZYNSKI

Ted Kaczynski and the Harvard study

Was the Unabomber an MKULTRA subject?

RECORD / AT A GLANCE

UNPROVEN

The Murray study was real and abusive. No document ties it to MKULTRA funding, and no drugs are documented. That it caused the bombings is unproven.
