 ### The Haus Waldorf Experiment
 
-A CIA memorandum from June 1952 describes an ARTICHOKE interrogation conducted at a safe house called Haus Waldorf, in the countryside near Frankfurt, where ARTICHOKE team members used "light dosages of drugs coupled with hypnosis" to induce "a complete hypnotic trance" in a suspected Soviet intelligence agent. The trance lasted approximately one hour and forty minutes and was followed by "a subsequent total amnesia produced" in the subject. This experiment, documented in the ARTICHOKE conference files that form part of the National Security Archive's Gottlieb testimony briefing book, illustrates the operational mode of Camp King-area experiments: small teams, recruited subjects from the Soviet bloc intelligence community, and a combination of pharmacological and hypnotic techniques drawn from both the American behavioral research programs and, through the Paperclip doctors, from Nazi precedent.[^4]

-Camp X - formally designated Special Training School 103 (STS 103) and sometimes referred to as Intrepid's Park - was established by [[British Security Coordination]] (BSC) on a 275-acre farm on the north shore of Lake Ontario between Whitby and Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, approximately 30 miles east of Toronto. The facility opened on December 6, 1941, one day before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor brought the United States into the war. It was the first Allied clandestine training facility in North America, and the only Special Operations Executive (SOE) school located in the Western Hemisphere.[^1]

CIA agent Felix Rodriguez also used Hangar No. 4 for his helicopter-based counterinsurgency program. The adjoining Hangar No. 5 continued to be used by the CIA in support of the Contra project.[^1]

 ### The Shackley Era
 
-[[Ted Shackley]], who later became one of the CIA's most consequential officers in Southeast Asia and Latin America, served as JM/WAVE chief from approximately 1962 to 1965. Shackley had previously worked under [[William Harvey]] in [[Berlin]] and was assigned to Miami when Harvey took command of [[Operation Mongoose]] operational planning. When Harvey was removed from operational control of Cuba operations in late 1962, Shackley continued as station chief through the period of Mongoose's wind-down and the subsequent reduced covert operations period.

 Under Shackley, JM/WAVE operated extensive maritime raiding teams (the "cowboys," as station personnel called them) that conducted boat raids against Cuban coastal targets, intelligence collection missions along the Cuban coast, and infiltration/exfiltration operations for agents inside Cuba. The station also coordinated with the large and fractious Cuban exile community in Miami, attempting to channel exile groups' energy into CIA-directed operations while managing the political conflicts among exile factions.[^1]
