#1

In 1975, the CIA admitted doping Olson with LSD that led to his suicide, and they settled out of court with the Olson family for $750,000 precluding further investigation.

#2

The death of Olson was a clear-cut case of National Security homicide. He had been interviewed by Military Intelligence, and he had informed his boss that he was quitting his job. He was drugged with LSD without his knowledge or permission, and then interrogated about his plans.

#3

The CIA admitted that LSD was given to Olson without his knowledge or permission. The second autopsy found that the first autopsy report intentionally misrepresented the facts to make it appear like a suicide.

#4

The CIA has drugged entire villages with LSD, and tested it on unknowing U. S. citizens right in the middle of Manhattan. They also used BW on civilians in North Korea.

#5

Following the fall of Nazi Germany, the Allies began to sweep up any Nazi technology that could be used in the coming Cold War.

#6

The Operation Paperclip program was a mission to determine which Nazi scientists were of value to the West in the Cold War. They were shielded from conviction at the Nuremberg war trials, and they were literally rescued from the gallows in exchange for their help with U. S. research programs.

#7

The CIA conducted experiments on humans, and they were extremely disturbing. They included combinations of hypnosis, torture, LSD, and other hallucinogens, and mind-opening and tongue-loosening agents. These tests were in the direction of mind-control, maneuvering subjects into controllable states.

#8

Olson was a colleague and friend of Norman Cournoyer, who testified that Olson had told him that he was planning to leave the CIA because he was disturbed by the methods used to train the CIA’s secret operatives.

#9

Olson was a free-thinking and talkative man, which was considered dangerous in relation to his work in military secrets. He was suspected of disclosing government secrets and was interrogated by Military Intelligence.

#10

Olson told Cournoyer that he was planning on resigning his CIA position. He informed him that he had learned about the use of anthrax as a biological weapon during the Korean War, and that the recanted confessions of dozens of returning POWs who had witnessed BW in North Korea were the result of debriefings utilizing techniques learned from Operation Artichoke.

#11

The CIA settled out of court with the Olson family for $750,000 in retribution for past wrongdoing. Ten days after the memo from Rumsfeld and Cheney recommending retribution and an apology, President Ford hosted the Olson family at the White House for photos and handshakes.

#12

The source that I have was the New York City Police Department, the Bureau of Narcotics Agents, and the CIA agents themselves. They all say that Olson was pushed out of the window, and that he did not jump. People who wanted him out of the way said he talked too much and was telling people about the things he had done, which is American secret.

#13

The body of Olson was exhumed and autopsied at the insistence of his relatives, who were suspicious of foul play. The autopsy team determined that the original medical report in 1953 was manipulated and inaccurate in some important respects.

#14

The Frank Olson case was the first time the
