Well, once again, I have fallen into a rabbit hole. I planned on doing spooky conspiracies for the month of October. So I started to go through my mental rolodex for some of my favorites, and landed on MKULTRA (kinda creepy honestly.) Project MKULTRA was the CIA's venture into the world of brainwashing and mind control. They used many inhumane methods of destroying somebodies psyche, including but not limited to, electroshock therapy, hypnosis, psychic driving, sensory depravation, medically induced comas, and of course dosing THE FUCK out of tons of people with pure LSD. Now if this sounds too crazy to be true, well, this is a declassified CIA project that has been publicly recognized by the CIA sense 1972. It's as real as it gets. Unfortunately, most knowledge about the project has been incinerated and will never be known. However, there are still hundreds and hundreds of official documents that are completely out in the public domain. So, I started off listening to a couple cast about Project MKULTRA and some of its precursor projects. Then I watched a couple documentaries. And then I finally started reading the documents. From this point forward I started to spiral. There are so many threads to follow that lead from one thing to the next to the next to the next. It quickly started to get out of hand. Finally, after well over a week of torturing myself with the horrors of Project MKULTRA, I decided to just record the cast and just try to break it down as simply as I possibly could. Nonetheless, this is just the tip of the ice berg, with a colossal mountain lying underneath the surface of these dark and disturbing waters.
TLDR; MKULTRA is fucking wild.
