Cameron's Credentials, His Published Papers, and the Nuremberg Paradox
At 29:40 · chapter starts 26:50
While running the Sleep Room and conducting psychic driving sessions on unwitting patients, Cameron also held the presidencies of the American, Quebec, Canadian, and World Psychiatric Associations — simultaneously [1] — Carter Roy "While conducting his secret experiments, Cameron simultaneously held the presidencies of the American, Quebec, Canadian, and World Psychiat…" 26:50 . He published papers on his work, including a 1958 study titled 'Effect of Repeated Verbal Stimulation upon a Flexor-Extensor Relationship,' in which he tested whether looping audio messages could make patients' arms move involuntarily. Three out of four patients showed slight muscle movement — a finding that in another context might seem benign, but in the MKUltra context of creating human puppets is deeply disturbing. The sample size of four, Carter Roy notes, is so small the study would have been scientifically worthless regardless of the results. But the episode's most devastating irony is yet to come: Cameron was one of only 10 psychiatrists worldwide asked to evaluate Rudolf Hess at the Nuremberg Trials [2] — Carter Roy "Cameron was one of just 10 psychiatrists worldwide asked to evaluate Rudolf Hess at the Nuremberg Trials. He helped found the ethical frame…" 28:20 . He found Hess mentally fit to stand trial. He was present at the birth of the Nuremberg Code — the landmark ethical framework requiring fully informed consent in human experimentation. And then he violated every principle of it on his own patients.
