Mind control, the government drugging unsuspecting citizens, the CIA dabbling in the use of black magic as a weapon of war; this all sounds like a sci-fi fantasy novel, right? Wrong. This all actually happened in the 1950s, the CIA were testing mind-control techniques in a top-secret project called MKUltra. In this episode we delve into what MKUltra actually is and gloss over some of the 150 subprojects and its effect on the nation. Also we explore the conspiracies relating to MKUltra. Is this still going on today? Is it REALLY declassified? You decide.
