Exposing the secret history of the CIA's involvement in promoting LSD and the hippie movement. During today's episode, we discuss how the U.S. government has appropriated drugs as weapons against progressive, left-wing, and anti-imperialist movements. We talk about the roots and purpose of Project MKUltra, an illegal human experimentation program carried out by the CIA. We also discuss how key moments in hippie history, like Woodstock and the Summer of Love, were carefully coordinated by U.S. intelligence.
