Naval Intelligence, MKUltra and the Hippie Movement

[Jan Klimkowski]

"A recent biographer claimed that the spook and novelist, Anthony Burgess, based A Clockwork Orange on real behaviour modification programmes carried out in secret American military experiments, that Burgess had learned of through his intelligence connections."

I was under the impression that "A Clockwork Orange" was based upon London's Tavist Institute, a behavioral and/or psy-ops center, in line with MKUltra's centers at UCLA, Harvard, and MIT.

You mean the Tavistock Institute.

Burgess' biographer claims that "A Clockwork Orange" was based on Fort Bliss experiments.

However, there certainly was a British MK-ULTRA, with part of it revolving around Dr William Sargant who had his very own "sleep room".
