We delve into the shadowy depths of MK-Ultra, the CIA's infamous mind
control program that spanned the Cold War era. From its inception in the
early 1950s through its official termination in 1973, we uncover the
chilling experiments conducted on unwitting subjects involving drugs,
hypnosis, and psychological torture. Through interviews with historians,
psychologists, and survivors, we piece together how this secret project
aimed to develop techniques for mind control, interrogation, and
espionage. As we navigate through declassified documents and
testimonies, the episode sheds light on the ethical boundaries crossed
in the name of national security and the lasting impact on its victims.
