Declassified Documents: MK-Ultra, Stargate, Gateway Experience, Malech Patent & More

CIA · US Army · Department of Defense · FOIA

Every document on this page is real including MK-Ultra, Stargate, The Gateway Experience, and much more. Each one was produced by a government agency, classified, and later released through declassification orders or Freedom of Information Act requests. None of them required a conspiracy theory to exist. They required patience, FOIA filings, and in some cases a Senate investigation.

The CIA studied out-of-body travel and concluded it was possible. The US Army funded twenty years of remote viewing research. The Department of Defense ran a mind control program inside hospitals and universities for two decades. DARPA funded research into reading and writing a million neurons simultaneously. These are not allegations. They are in the documents.

This page exists because the questions these documents raise are the same questions that run through the fiction. The documents are the starting point. The fiction follows where they lead.

The questions these documents raise are exactly what drive the fiction.
