Join Kyle and Ardon as they dive further into one of the U.S. Government’s deepest conspiracies; MK-Ultra!

For the last two weeks we have been building context for some of the worst “experiments” carried out in the United States of America. Tonight we are going to get into the details of these experiments. 

The project was headed by Sidney Gottlieb but began on the order of CIA director Allen Dulles on April 13, 1953. Its aim was to develop mind-controlling drugs for use against the Soviet bloc in response to alleged Soviet, Chinese, and North Korean use of mind control techniques on U.S. prisoners of war during the Korean War. The CIA wanted to use similar methods on their own captives, and was interested in manipulating foreign leaders with such techniques, devising several schemes to drug Fidel Castro. It often conducted experiments without the subjects' knowledge or consent. In some cases, academic researchers were funded through grants from CIA front organizations but were unaware that the CIA was using their work for these purposes.

Hold on to your asses, because things are about to get backwards!
