>In the 1960s, the CIA engaged in covert interference in Japanese politics by providing financial support to conservative politicians and the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), aiming to prevent the rise of leftist forces and foster a pro-American, anti-Communist Japan. These activities also included attempts to split the moderate wing of the Japanese Socialist Party and support anti-American protests in Okinawa, all in service of U.S. Cold War objectives. The agency also utilized covert programs to gather intelligence on Japan's domestic and foreign policies
>Project BLUEBIRD, a division of Project ARTICHOKE, was a mind control operation involving the testing of human subjects with drugs meant to induce hypnosis for the purpose of "enhanced interrogation".[48] At the start of BLUEBIRD, a team traveled to Japan in July 1950 to test out the techniques on human subjects.[49] The subjects used were suspected double agents.[49] During the operation, the security office of the agency ordered the operatives to conceal and not disclose the reason for their residence and employment in Japan, using a cover explaining they were part of polygraph work.[49] In October 1950, the program was expanded to include North Korean prisoners of war, with 25 subjects being selected and chosen for the role.[49] The safehouse used to perform the operation was located in Atsugi, Kanagawa.[50] The experiments were intended to induce amnesia by the injection of drugs such as sodium amytal and other barbiturates. The team judged the experiments in 1950 as a success, causing the agency to expand and continue the program across Europe and Southeast Asia.[49]
