Rob Schneider Dropped a Truthbomb About the MKUltra Hearing as Witnesses Reveal Jack Ruby and Charles Manson Links

The CIA claimed MKUltra failed, shut it down, and insisted the full story had already been told.

On June 30, Congress held its first MKUltra hearing in 49 years — and witnesses said something under oath that changes that calculation entirely.

What those witnesses named, and what they can now prove, is the kind of testimony the CIA has spent half a century trying to make impossible.

The CIA Lied to Congress – For Decades

The MKUltra program ran from 1953 to 1973 – a 20-year CIA operation that used unwitting American citizens as human guinea pigs.

The experiments were not fringe tests.

They were systematic, authorized at the highest levels, and operated across 80 institutions involving 185 outside researchers.

Subjects were dosed with LSD without their knowledge, subjected to hypnosis, electroshock therapy, and sensory deprivation – sometimes in prisons, sometimes in hospitals, and sometimes in CIA safe houses on foreign soil.

When CIA Director Richard Helms left office in January 1973, he personally ordered the destruction of every MKUltra file in existence.

He assigned four people to spend an entire day burning 152 files.

Gottlieb then had his personal papers shredded by his secretary before he retired.

The head of the CIA's own records center protested the destruction in writing.

He was overruled.

The only reason any of this was ever confirmed is because of a filing accident – a single archivist in 1977 found seven boxes of financial records that had been misfiled and escaped Gottlieb's bonfire.

Those seven boxes blew the whole thing open.

They confirmed at least 149 subprojects, including a $375,000 CIA contribution to a hospital research wing – so the agency could use unwitting patients as experimental subjects.

The Witnesses Dropped Bombshells

The June 30 hearing was the first congressional session dedicated to MKUltra in 49 years.

Investigative journalist Tom O'Neill – author of Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties – told Luna that when the CIA briefed Congress in 1977, it removed key passages from the documents it submitted.

The report Congress received had those passages removed — specifically the sections confirming the CIA had studied LSD's effects on dissociative states.

"I believe Congress was never told the truth about what this program actually achieved," O'Neill testified.

Brown University's Dr. Stephen Kinzer went further.

MKUltra officers were authorized, he told the committee, to travel to countries under US occupation and ask the local CIA station to provide them with – in the CIA's own documented words – "expendables."

Human beings who would not be missed if they disappeared.

The Nazi connection runs deeper than the history books admit.

Under Operation Paperclip, 1,600 German scientists were given amnesty and brought to America after World War II – including Nazi biological warfare director Kurt Blome.

Those scientists did not stop experimenting when they crossed the Atlantic.

According to Kinzer, the CIA and a cohort of Nazi scientists ran a secret prison beneath a West German chalet — conducting experiments on human beings that picked up where the Nazi program had left off.

Luna announced after the hearing that she will be meeting with members of the German parliament to locate what may be the remains of MKUltra victims buried in Germany at the hands of the US government.

Hollywood conservative Rob Schneider stated it as sarcastically as possible on X.

“Nothing to see here…Just another conspiracy theory revealed to be true…,” the pro-Trump comedian declared in his post.

Jack Ruby. Charles Manson. The CIA.

O'Neill's testimony connected dots that will not be easy to un-see.

Jack Ruby – the man who murdered Lee Harvey Oswald before Oswald could tell his story – was treated by psychiatrist Louis Jolyon West, a CIA operative who conducted LSD and hypnosis experiments for Gottlieb.

West, O'Neill told the committee, was ordered by CIA Director Helms and Gottlieb to declare Ruby insane – specifically to keep Ruby from talking.

Charles Manson was also treated by West before the Tate murders.

O'Neill acknowledged he has not been able to prove Gottlieb directly altered Manson's mental state – but the connection between West, the CIA's mind-control program, and two of the most shocking crimes of the 20th century is no longer speculation.

It is testimony delivered under oath before Congress.

And the CIA lied about all of it – twice.

What Luna Forced Out of the CIA

Luna did not come to this hearing empty-handed.

Trump's executive order directing the full declassification of JFK and MKUltra files gave Luna the legal leverage the CIA could not ignore.

Weeks earlier, she had ordered CIA Director John Ratcliffe to preserve 40 boxes of JFK and MKUltra files that the agency had removed from the offices of former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

Those files – the ones the CIA had reportedly claimed were either destroyed or never existed – are now being declassified.

Luna revealed at the hearing that the newly recovered documents pertain to a forgery program that was being housed under MKUltra.

A retired CIA operations officer who worked closely with Luna confirmed the stakes plainly: "When records are missing, destroyed, or withheld, the public does not just lose information – it loses confidence in the institutions that are asking to be trusted."

That is the most generous framing possible.

The blunter version is this: the CIA tortured Americans for 20 years, burned the evidence, and walked away clean.

Richard Helms was never prosecuted.

Sidney Gottlieb was never prosecuted.

Not one person was ever held accountable for dosing thousands of unwitting Americans with psychedelic drugs, using them as human test subjects, and in at least one confirmed case – the death of government scientist Frank Olson, dosed with LSD and dead nine days later at the bottom of a Manhattan hotel – leaving a family with nothing but a government-forced settlement and a presidential apology.

Anna Paulina Luna just changed that math.

The files exist.

The CIA has them.

And for the first time in 49 years, Congress is demanding answers it actually intends to get.
