In the anti-communist furor of the 1950s, the newly formed Central Intelligence
Agency or CIA began a clandestine program dedicated to the interrogation of
foreign agents. It was believed that if techniques could be perfected to
control someone’s mind, spies could be caught and turned, thereby giving up
useful intelligence information in what would soon become known as “The Cold
War.” In the pursuit of this objective, countless experiments were conducted,
many without the participant’s knowledge or consent, involving psychoactive
substances such as LSD and methamphetamine, high-pressure tactics such as
“psychic driving,” and even seduction through the use of fake prostitutes. Many
citizens of the United States and Canada unwittingly became study subjects as the
CIA relentlessly pursued its dark agenda. What is the nature of mind control?
Can certain psychoactive substances make someone susceptible to being
controlled by another? Can we be driven by others to do things we would
normally find morally reprehensible? Join Drs. Micono and Morelos as they discuss the MK Ultra mind control experiments.
