The Secret Files of MKUltra: What the CIA Tried to Erase

For two decades, the CIA ran a top-secret program that sounds like science fiction—but it wasn’t. MKUltra was a real-life government operation dedicated to manipulating human behavior through drug experiments, psychological torture, and hypnosis. They drugged prisoners, psychiatric patients, college students, and even their own agents—without their knowledge. Then, when it all spiraled out of control, they tried to erase every trace of it.

In this episode, we uncover the twisted reality of MKUltra, from its Cold War origins to the horrific LSD experiments that left some victims permanently damaged. How did the U.S. government justify this? What were they really trying to achieve? And when the truth finally came out, how much of the evidence had already been destroyed?

The deeper you dig into MKUltra, the worse it gets. And if you think the government would never try something like this again… you might want to reconsider.
