Was Kanye Mk-Ultra'd? The Rapper Says He Was "Misdiagnosed" And "Drugged" To Make Him A "Manageable, Well-Behaved" Celebrity

Kanye West went on Twitter to share with his fans that he was "misdiagnosed" and "drugged" out of his mind in order to become a "manageable" and "well-behaved celebrity."

"What should be obvious by now is that I was raised to stand for my truth regardless of the consequences," he writes. "So I will say this again, I was mentally misdiagnosed and nearly drugged out of my mind to make me a manageable well behaved celebrity."

West then uploads a screenshot of an exchange between him and "Harley" (allegedly Harley Pasternak). The individual sounds like he's threatening Kanye in the messages, stating that he will have him institutionalized and drugged again. The text reads: "I'm going to help you one of a couple ways... First, you and I sit down and have an loving and open conversation, but you don't use cuss words, and everything that is discussed is based in fact, and not some crazy stuff that dumb friend of yours told you, or you saw in a tweet," he continues, "Second option, I have you institutionalized again where they medicate the crap out of you, and you go back to Zombieland forever. Play date with the kids just won't be the same."

Kanye then posts a follow-up on Twitter, adding that if he were to expose the truth, everything would be taken from him. He adds a screenshot of Pasternak, seemingly to confirm that they were communicating. "I was told that if I expose the truth of the bad business practices everything is gonna be taken from me," Kanye writes. "Including my black children And everyone has bore whiteness to the public Emmett Tilling of Ye But GOD has put something on my heart not to backdown."

Who Exactly Is Harley Pasternak?

Pasternak is known as a fitness trainer, speaker, and author. Besides Kanye West, his list of clients includes Adam Levine, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian, Megan Fox, Ariana Grande, and more. Earlier in October, news outlets reported that Pasternak decided to cut ties with Kanye after his anti-semitic statements. "I think Kanye has a history of mental health issues, and it appears that he’s probably going through an episode right now,” said Pasternak, who is also Jewish himself. “If people continue to give him a platform to discuss hateful, antisemitic rhetoric, they’re complicit, so I applaud Facebook and Twitter.”

Back in 2016, cops responded to a welfare check on Kanye at Pasternak's home, according to TMZ. The reporters went on the site not too long after this, adding that they tried to question Pasternak about the incident. "We got Pasternak outside his house late Monday evening. If he knows how Kanye's doing, he's not saying much," the TMZ author wrote.

Pasternak Researched Drugs While He Was In the Military

Another Twitter user found a video of Pasternak saying that he previously worked in the military. He tells the interviewer that he wasn't "governed by the same laws" the typical person is, so he was able to research "all kinds of drugs." This could add credence to the theory of Pasternak utilizing drugs as a form of "mind control" – back in the 50s and 70s, Mk-Ultra activities took place at more than 80 institutions (and the military) under the guise of "research."

Kanye Was Hospitalized after Ranting about the Clintons, Google, and Facebook

Kanye was then taken to the UCLA Medical Center – the same place where Brittney Spears and Amanda Bynes were institutionalized. This year, Spears uploaded an emotional memo where she claimed that her hospitalization was "premeditated" by her own family members. "A woman introduced the idea [the hospitalization] to my dad, and my mom actually helped him follow through and made it all happen. It was all basically set up. There was no drugs in my system, no alcohol – nothing – it was pure abuse," she says.

After Kanye was discharged, fans began to speculate that he was "brainwashed" in the same fashion as Mk-Ultra victims, presumably with the use of drugs. The rumors came after Kanye was sent to the psych ward not too long after his public rant on stage about the Clintons, Jay-Z, and Beyoncé. In 2018, two years after being released from UCLA Medical Center, Kanye tweeted about not being afraid of the media anymore. "And also I'm all the way out the sunken place. And I'm not scared anymore. I'm not scared of the media. I'm not scared of the past and I'm optimistic about the future. This tweet is in love not fear," he wrote. Kanye released his song "Mind Control" that same year.

Closing Thoughts

Mk-Ultra has been widely documented in the past, proving that experiments were held for the purpose of mind control. While the CIA alleges that the practice ended long ago, some people believe that it never ended and that they were successful in their research. With Kanye's odd timing of being hospitalized just after telling his audience in 2016 that they were being lied to by Google and Facebook – and now admitting that he was indeed drugged – is it possible that he (and perhaps other celebrities) were under control by some handlers? Or, has he really just gone off the deep end? While we might never know the truth, maybe the idea isn't too far-fetched.
