During the cold war, the CIA was obsessed with mind-control. There vision was creating a something like a Cylon from Battlestar Galactica. And so, they began a division called the MK-ULTRA, within MK-ULTRA, they conducted many gruesome experiments on human beings around the world. Some of it came to light during the church hearings. Some of it came to light because of diligent researchers who use the freedom of information act, and others through leaks. We still don’t know the breadth and depth of the project. But, Kit Klarenberg discovered two of the most gruesome projects: one in Denmark and the other in West Germany.

In Denmark, they took young orphans and subjected them to torture-like tactics to see how they would react.

In West Germany, the project was much darker and much more cruel. Doctor Helmut Kentler thought it would be a good idea to put orphans under the care of pedophiles and this project went on for nearly 30 years.
