Frank Olson worked as a scientist for the United States army and eventually became the head of the Special Operations Division (SOD.) His job duties included researching the possible consequences of a large scale attack on the US and experimenting with biological agents for secret operations.
The Washington Post ran an article revealing that Frank Olson, unnamed but identified by his wife Alice, was part of a “behavioral control experiment.” The article revealed that Frank had been a guinea pig for the testing of LSD in the 1950’s, at around the same that his depression and mood change arose.
Frank Olson’s death occurred in 1953 and even now, 49 years later, many people are still writing to Eric to tell him that they do know about the case and support his fervor and dedication to it.
