(my $0.02: I believe LCFLUTTER refers to Polygraph techniques and not to truth serums)
But polygraph techniques are mentioned plainly in referenced texts.

I would just like to express my amusement that this article has been edited almost exclusively by anonymous users. Isomorphic 09:40, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Damn. Now you're telling me! Too late to use a proxy, though. :-)
Anyway, this usenet post seems to have some insider's information: [1]. Should we use it ? Bogdan | Talk 18:06, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Isn't MOCKINGBIRD also a cryptonym? Guaka 20:59, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Why'd the definitions of the digraphs get killed? 68.39.174.39 02:07, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)


Seems to me that I read that "KURIOT" (that is: "KU-RIOT") was a digraph for the CIA itself (maybe the watch center or something like that...) Wierd thing is that "Kuriot" itself is a word (Russian,I think)...for what it's worth...

[edit] Context

Could someone please clean up this article to provide context for what it's saying? - Richardcavell 05:54, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just a few things

CHATTER was Navy, not CIA; our own article on it even says so. BLUEBIRD and ARTICHOKE were exactly the same thing; the name simply changed (several times), although this article quite clearly suggests that they were different (and unrelated) projects. Dominic Streatfeild's Brainwash: The Secret History of Mind Control (ISBN-10: 031232572X; ISBN-13: 978-0312325725) has a chapter on BLUEBIRD/ARTICHOKE/MKULTRA if you need to cite something to ref that. 18:49, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] unverified definitions

this is OR, but it could help to find the actual definitions

In researching PBSUCCESS on the CIA FOIA site, I discovered that PBCABOOSE is used in cables titles "CABLE TO DIRECTOR FROM LINCOLN RE GUATEMALA 1954 COUP". This also indicates LINCOLN means more than just and operation involving a basque seperatist movement. It appears that PBCABOOSE refers to reports concerning PBSUCCESS addressed to the Director.

Also, ESQUIRE refers to a person in the same diplomatic envoy as JMBLUG (from 255. Telegram From the CIA Station in Guatemala to Operation PBSUCCESS Headquarters in Florida/1/; http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ho/frus/ike/guat/20181.htm)

[edit] FD

Does anyone known what the prefix "FD" means? (as in FD/TRODPINT?) —Preceding unsigned comment added by C0N6R355 (talk • contribs) 20:08, August 28, 2007 (UTC)
