Andrija Puharich and Military Psychological Operations

Andrija Puharich's background is revealed to be deeply embedded in the U.S. Army’s psychological warfare components and the early Special Operations Command. Puharich was involved in Project Artichoke and a brutal behavioral modification program known as Project Pelican, which utilized Clockwork Orange-style conditioning on prisoners. These military ties cast doubt on whether his later paranormal research was genuine or a cover for state-sponsored psychological testing.

Recluse argues that Puharich’s ties to Project Artichoke and the Office of Security are underreported. He describes a division within the deep state where the Rockefeller-funded hard scientific wing, led by Sydney Gottlieb and MKUltra, eventually distanced itself from Puharich’s more radical occult and psychic research.
