Podcast appearances and mentions of Frank Olson

A cabin in the woods of Virginia. No electricity. No running water. A man in his fifties sits on a wooden stool before dawn, milking a goat. He writes poetry. He folk-dances despite the clubfoot he was born with. He meditates every morning. His neighbors know him as a quiet, spiritual man at peace with the world.   His name was Sidney Gottlieb. And for twenty-two years he ran the most ambitious and most insane and dangerous investigation of human consciousness in the history of the United States government. What did MK Ultra learn?

From 1953 to 1973, the CIA carried out a massive operation, the ripples of which are still felt today and the extent of which is, frankly, unthinkable. Coming as a reaction to the Nuremberg trials at the end of World War 2, MK Ultra contained over 100 subprojects which took in drug smuggling and drug testing plus unethical and illegal human experimentation, both on military personnel and civilians.These are the stories of Frank Olson, of Harold Blauer and of Lana Ponting plus many more, of the hypocrisy of a psychiatrist so terrified of the Nazis he adopted their methods to prevent them from happening again, the lack of scruples in certain CIA personnel as they tortured American citizens and of the shameful lengths they would go to in order to cover it up.This is the story of how evil, despite what you may want to hear, isn't always at a safe distance...______If you're new to Mystery on the Rocks, hosted by award-winning comedians Masud Milas, Chris Stokes, and Sooz Kempner, the podcast is a high concept comedy and true crime/unexplained phenomena podcast set in a fictional mystery-solving bar with real cocktails!

Heb je je ooit afgevraagd wat er precies gebeurt in je brein als de "ego-machine" even wordt uitgezet? In de nieuwste Wetenschap Op Woensdag (#361) duiken Istvan, Mario en Minya diep in de fascinerende wereld van psychedelica. Van de ontdekking van LSD op een Zwitserse fiets tot de duistere experimenten van de CIA (MK Ultra), en van het genezen van hardnekkige depressies tot het "horen van kleuren". We bespreken het allemaal!

Luis and Angelo dive into one of the most disturbing programs in U.S. history – MK Ultra – a secret CIA operation born out of Cold War fears that America's enemies had unlocked the power of mind control.  The guys break down the origins of the program and the rise of Sidney Gottlieb, the chief chemist who led the CIA's most aggressive experiments.  They explore the use of LSD and other drugs on unwitting subjects, extreme techniques like sensory deprivation and electroshock, and infamous operations like Midnight Climax, where real people were manipulated and observed without their knowledge.  They also expose how the CIA used some of the most prestigious universities to conduct experiments that crossed every ethical line imaginable in an effort to erase and rebuild the human mind.  Along the way, they unpack the mysterious death of CIA scientist Frank Olson, the search for the “Manchurian Candidate,” and the unsettling reality that the true danger wasn't whether mind control worked – it was how far the U.S. government was willing to go to find out.

M51 Los Servicios Secretos, Ciencia y Realidades Contaminadas. En esta sección nos adentramos en tres casos donde ciencia sensible, servicios de inteligencia, opacidad estatal y manipulación narrativa se cruzan de forma inquietante. Desde el expediente Frank Olson y la sombra de MKULTRA, hasta la muerte de David Kelly en plena guerra del relato sobre Irak, y el caso Paul Bennewitz como ejemplo de cómo la ufología puede contaminarse entre instalaciones sensibles, desinformación y obsesión interpretativa. Un viaje por la frontera donde el secreto no solo oculta: también deforma la verdad.

M51 Los Elegidos, Historia, Servicios Secretos, Ciencia y Realidades Contaminadas. En M51 T9X33 viajamos por tres territorios donde historia, misterio y poder se entrelazan. Desde la Burgos nacida junto al río Arlanzón y los ecos que guarda su cauce, hasta la grandeza de los imperios del África subsahariana con Mali, Songhai, Congo, Etiopía y Mutapa. Y, para cerrar, un descenso a tres casos inquietantes donde ciencia sensible, inteligencia, opacidad y manipulación deforman la verdad: Frank Olson, David Kelly y Paul Bennewitz.

Well folks, 60 Minutes just confirmed that a classified U.S. intelligence mission recovered an actual directed-energy weapon — concealable, portable, silent, programmable, remote-operated, penetrates walls — and they tested it on animals in a military lab for over a year. It does what the victims said it does. So that's fun.Remember when these diplomats and spies with top-secret clearances and zero psychiatric history were told they were delusional? The FBI's early assessment was “mass hysteria.” The 2023 intelligence community report — still officially standing — says it's “very unlikely” a foreign adversary was responsible. There is now a weapon in a lab that says otherwise. Whoopsie.A former CIA officer in the Anomalous Health Incidents unit — speaking publicly for the first time — describes being told the goal was to prove it was psychosomatic and environmental. He watched a senior AHI officer mock victims by simulating a stroke at a unit happy hour. That's your tax dollars funding workplace comedy about brain injuries. Incredible.Now here's where it gets interesting for us. MKUltra didn't pick subjects randomly. CIA started with their own people — hi Frank Olson — then military subjects at Edgewood Arsenal, then systematically pivoted to populations whose testimony would be automatically discredited. Psychiatric patients. Prisoners. Addicts at the Lexington Narcotic Farm. Sex workers at Operation Midnight Climax. The selection logic wasn't random. It was about deniability.Map that onto our population. Four hundred episodes of testimony. People institutionalized as adolescents. Boarding school kids. People flagged through giftedness testing — programs that sometimes trace back to federal or military funding pipelines. Musicians — internationally traveling, high sensory sensitivity, unusual venue-exposure profiles. Joni Mitchell talked about this and got demolished. Charles Holman, musician, MRF-connected, dead. Roy Houchin, musician, MRF board. Barbara Mandrell, musician. That's not random. That's a selection signature.And “delusional parasitosis” does to this population exactly what “delusional” did to those intelligence officers. It's both the effect and the cover. Self-sealing.The CDC's 2012 Kaiser Permanente study did the same thing as the 2023 intelligence assessment: produce an official finding, foreclose inquiry, move on. Same playbook, different decade, different agency.Now — the archive we've built here is the only dataset that isn't compromised or locked in a university vault. Speaking of which: Oklahoma State University, the MRF patient registry of 12,000 families is still missing. Open records request 26-100, filed February 23rd. No substantive response. If you donated data, money, or samples to the Morgellons Research Foundation or Randy Wymore at OSU, maybe give them a call.And speaking of foreign actors — next episode we're opening the Shanghai thread. Early Wayback captures of morgellons.org linked to a personal site documenting roughly ten cases in Shanghai, built by the husband of a woman with initials H.L. He worked at Ansoft Corporation — a Pittsburgh electromagnetic field simulation software company with offices in China — and used his Ansoft work email. They reportedly funded research at Fudan University into her case. Pittsburgh to Shanghai to Fudan. We're going to verify every piece of it transparently.The government closed their investigation. We didn't. Stay tuned.

Today's True Weird Stuff - The Jumper   On November 28, 1953, a man crashed through a tenth-floor window at New York City’s Hotel Statler. His name was Frank Olson — a scientist working on some of the most disturbing top-secret programs of the Cold War. Days earlier, the CIA had secretly dosed him with LSD. The official story? A troubled man had a breakdown and jumped. But decades later, new evidence raised a terrifying possibility: Frank Olson didn’t jump...he was thrown.  

Our trawl through the CIA's appalling MK Ultra project takes in the stories of two men - bacteriologist Frank Olson and professional tennis player Harold Blauer. Both men were born in 1910 and both died in 1953.But how and why?And what are their links to our ongoing story?______An exclusive extended, ad-free version of this episode with over 15 minutes of bonus extra chat about all manner of things including the worst meals we have ever cooked for ourselves plus loads more can be found over at our Patreon!Extended episodes drop over there usually 3-7 days early and with zero ads so if you enjoy Mystery on the Rocks then please consider heading over there to support us, where there is already a huge backlog of exclusive extras such as extended episodes, bonus episodes, minisodes, outtakes, cocktail recipes and more!Hosted by Masud Milas, Chris Stokes, and Sooz Kempner Mystery on the Rocks is a high concept comedy and true crime/unexplained phenomena podcast set in a fictional mystery-solving bar with real cocktails!.

In 1953, a U.S. government scientist plunged ten stories from a New York City hotel window. The CIA called it suicide. The case was closed almost immediately.Decades later, the truth cracked open.Frank Olson was secretly drugged with LSD as part of a classified CIA program known as MKUltra. He questioned what he had seen. He wanted out. And after his death, the government lied—to his family, to investigators, and to the public.This episode traces Olson's final days, the illegal experiments he was tied to, the forensic evidence uncovered years later, and why many now believe his death was not a suicide—but a silencing.A true crime story of murder, secrecy, and a conspiracy the government never fully answered for.

Today we look at the story of Frank Olson, bacteriologist and CIA scientist involved in the early years of biological warfare research and the infamous MKUltra mind-control program. His 1953 death is one of the most persistent mysteries in American intelligence history and today we break down everything...WELCOME TO CAMP!

Et si la série Stranger Things donnait un aperçu de ce qui se tramait réellement dans les laboratoires secrets de la CIA ? Vous pensiez que le docteur Martin Brenner n'était qu'une pure invention ? Écoutez ce qui suit, vous comprendrez qu'il est l'incarnation des scientifiques qui ont réellement travaillé sur l'un des projets les plus controversés et dangereux de la CIA : MK-Ultra. Dans la série, les expériences faites sur les humains finissent par ouvrir un portail vers une autre dimension. Dans la réalité, elles servent à forcer les portes de l'esprit des cobayes. LSD, électrochocs, hypnose, privation sensorielle… La CIA voulait modeler la volonté humaine, et les résultats ont été à l'image de ceux du laboratoire d'Hawkins. Cauchemardesque.Nous sommes le 28 novembre 1953, il est environ deux heures du matin. Au treizième étage du Statler Hotel, à quelques rues de Times Square, Frank Olson s'approche de sa fenêtre. Cela fait des nuits qu'il ne dort presque plus. Sans un bruit, sans laisser la moindre lettre d'explication, il l'ouvre et saute.Secrets d'agents • Histoires Vraies est une production Minuit.

CIA driver ett topphemligt projekt för hjärntvätt som involverar droger, tortyr och nazi-doktorer. Det är 50-tal och 16-åriga Lana medicineras med LSD i smyg. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Efter att ha rymt hemifrån placeras sextonåriga Lana Ponting på ett mentalsjukhus i Montreal. Där ordineras hon lugnande och sömnmedel, samtidigt som hon tvingas lyssna på kassettband med inspelade meddelanden, om och om igen. Efter att ha drogats med den psykedeliska drogen LSD kan Lana inte längre skilja dröm från verklighet. Långt senare får Lana reda på vilka som har legat bakom den kontroversiella behandlingen.– I was just screaming because LSD have a very, very bad effect on your mind, säger Lana.Experiment med psykedeliska droger på ovetande människorUnder 1950-talet är den amerikanska underrättelsetjänsten, CIA, på jakt efter ett medel för hjärntvätt – ett sanningsserum, eller en substans som kan styra människors tankar. Projektet kallas för MK-Ultra och leds av en grupp kemister som inte skyr några som helst medel. LSD testas på fångar i fängelser, tillfångatagna spioner, studenter – och sexköpare på bordeller, som drivs i CIA:s regi. En dag hittas CIA-forskaren Frank Olson död utanför ett hotell på Manhattan – men det kommer ta många år innan hans familj förstår vad som har hänt.Medverkande:Lana Ponting, utsattes för experiment med LSD på ett mentalsjukhus i Montreal.Henry William Wall, son till en fånge som drogades med LSD.Leonidas Aretakis, författare och opinionsbildare som skrivit boken ”Extas i Folkhemmet”.Stephen Kinzer, journalist som skrivit boken ”Poisoner in Chief”.Egmont Koch, tysk journalist som granskat MK-Ultra.Sara Stenholm, programledare för USA-podden.En dokumentär av: Axel Winqvist.Producent: Rosa Fernández.Dokumentären producerades 2025.

In 1973, the CIA destroyed MK ULTRA records—America's most disturbing mind-control program. They missed 20,000 files. What those documents reveal: drugging citizens without consent, “psychic driving,” black-site brothels (Operation Midnight Climax), and a death the CIA called suicide—Frank Olson—that looks like murder.In this investigation, I connect the declassified dots: Dulles → Gottlieb → Cameron, church hearings, and how modern manipulation moved from LSD and shock to algorithms and “enhanced” techniques.

Madrugada del 28 de noviembre de 1953. Nueva York. Un científico cae desde el piso 13 del Hotel Statler y muere en la acera vestido solo en ropa interior. El gobierno dice que fue un suicidio tras un experimento con LSD que salió mal. Pero 70 años después, las evidencias cuentan otra historia: Frank Olson no se suicidó, fue asesinado por la CIA. Era un científico brillante que trabajaba desarrollando armas biológicas en Fort Detrick y conocía los secretos más oscuros de la Guerra Fría. Cuando empezó a tener dudas morales y expresó su deseo de dimitir, se convirtió en un problema. Un problema que había que eliminar. En este episodio analizamos las inconsistencias de la versión oficial, la evidencia forense que demuestra que fue golpeado antes de caer, el manual de asesinatos de la CIA que describe exactamente cómo matarlo, y el encubrimiento que duró décadas. Esta no es una teoría de conspiración: es un crimen de Estado documentado que sigue sin resolverse.

Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPEOn March 19, 1919, the entire city of New Orleans threw a massive jazz party to appease a serial killer who promised to spare anyone playing jazz music in their homes that night – or face the blade of his axe.IN THIS EPISODE: The axe murders of New Orleans took place over a hundred years ago, but “The Jazzman Story” remains one of the greatest mysteries and unsolved murder cases within the annals of American crime. (The Axeman's Jazz) *** The investigation of an apparent suicide in 1953 led to an unbelievable theory… not only had the victim used LSD years earlier, but it was quite possible it was forced upon him by the Central Intelligence Agency. (The CIA and LSD) *** You don't often hear of people being struck and killed by lightning – at least not nowadays. But pick up a paper from the early 1900s and you'd think people were doing it as a hobby. (Death By Electrical Storm) *** January 30th, 1835 was the date of the first attempt at assassinating a sitting U.S. President – Andrew Jackson. That fact itself doesn't warrant placement in Weird Darkness, seeing as the attempt failed – but the story leading up to the attempt, and the attempt itself, certainly earn their place in this episode. (The President and the Madman) *** I'll end the episode in the Chamber of Comments, but before that, my last story will the most disturbing one of the episode. Most ghosts are seemingly passive or even benevolent, appearing to scare people only by accident, never by intent. But then there are the stories of violent and angry ghosts – spirits that not only bring terror, but also bloodshed and even death by their own ghostly hands. We'll look at some famous cases of violent hauntings throughout history.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:02:39.659 = The Axeman's Jazz00:22:15.246 = ***CIA and LSD00:29:01.021 = Death By Electrical Storm00:34:15.324 = The President And The Madman00:41:20.641 = ***Vicious And Violent Hauntings01:02:01.000 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakSOURCES and RESOURCES:BOOK: “A Terrible Mistake: The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA's Secret Cold War Experiments” by H.P.

On this episode of Wife of Crime I tell Russ about the CIA's secret mind-control program known as MK Ultra. In the 1960s, a CIA scientist named Frank Olson fell from a 10th-floor Manhattan hotel window. His family was told it was suicide. But that “official story” would turn out to be the first crack exposing a web of corruption, cover-ups, and shocking experiments performed on unsuspecting citizens. This case isn't just about one man's mysterious death, it's a reminder of how easily truth can be buried when powerful institutions control the narrative. Moral of this story... In the ‘60s it was LSD. Today it's algorithms. Either way, someone is always trying to influence how you think. Big Shout out to Myrtle for helping me research this heavy hitter!

The story is tragic… and it also has a bizarre ending. (Lost Children of the Alleghenies) *** Is he an elf? A troll? Not only is it hard to classify Latin America's El Duende – but it's even difficult to know if he's good, evil, or just a mischievous menace! (Duende The Menace) *** Bachelor's Grove Cemetery just outside of Chicago is a mystery. No one knows exactly how it got its name; no one is sure when the first burial there took place or why it has since been abandoned; there is no explanation for the strange lights that are often seen there, or the ghostly lady, or the phantom horse and rider. (Bachelor's Grove Cemetery) *** A man is found in a graveyard with a bullet to his skull, barely alive. He died later – but what exactly happened to him is a bit of a mystery. Our guess though is that it had something to do with him being a grave robber. (A Grave Robber's Fate) *** Forensics has come a long way over the years, making it harder and harder for criminals to get away with crimes – particularly brutal crimes where DNA is usually left behind because of a struggle or physical assault. But despite technological advancements, there are still those cases that remain unsolved – and we'll look at a few murders of women whose cases still can't be closed. (Unsolved Female Murders) *** How's the saying go… “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned?” That's good advice for the living – but probably even more apropos when dealing with female ghosts! (Famous Female Phantoms) *** Imagine you're in a small town and suddenly you begin seeing people around you starting to change into beastly creatures. They begin attacking those around them, ripping them apart, eating like wild animals. Then suddenly you begin the transformation yourself… you are becoming a werewolf. But you were never bitten by a monster, nor were the townsfolk. How could this be happening? This actually happened in a small town in France… and one of the theories as to how it happened will not only surprise you, but have you wondering if it will happen to you someday.

MK Ultra fue un programa secreto que exploró el control mental mediante experimentos oscuros. Técnicas encubiertas se utilizaron para manipular la mente humana de forma poco ética. Los métodos y resultados del proyecto han generado controversia y debate hasta hoy.

Enjoy this episode? Please share it with at least ONE friend who you think needs to hear it!CIA expert, investigative journalist and author Jefferson Morley exposes buried truths from the JFK files — from James Jesus Angleton's illegal surveillance network to MKUltra and the CIA's enduring power over presidents — in episode 200 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.A veteran Washington journalist and former editor at The Washington Post, Morley is one of the most respected researchers of CIA history and the JFK assassination. He is the editor of the JFK Facts Substack and the author of multiple acclaimed books, including The Ghost: The Secret Life of CIA Spymaster James Jesus Angleton. His lawsuit against the CIA has unearthed critical documents related to the agency's knowledge of Lee Harvey Oswald prior to the assassination of John F. Kennedy.In this episode, Morley unpacks the disturbing legacy of CIA counterintelligence chief James Angleton — from illegal surveillance and foreign entanglements to the agency's deceptive handling of Oswald. He and Faust explore how MKUltra, Watergate, and decades of covert operations reveal a deeper story: the CIA's grip on the presidency. Morley also discusses his lawsuit against the agency for the still-classified JFK files — and why the truth about the assassination remains buried after six decades. This conversation confronts the uncomfortable truth: the people meant to protect democracy may have undermined it from within.Topics include:• Why Angleton's surveillance empire operated beyond the law• The CIA's secret ties to Israel during JFK's presidency• How Angleton deceived the government about Lee Harvey Oswald• What the JFK files still aren't telling us — and why• MKUltra, mind control, and the suspicious death of Frank Olson• Richard Helms and the CIA's war on truth• How Watergate revealed the CIA's control over Nixon• Why Morley sued the CIA — and what he uncovered• What JFK's peace vision means in today's war-driven climate• Bobby Kennedy Jr.'s campaign and the return of antiwar politics• How public education and community can fight institutional secrecy… and much more. This is a must-watch for anyone seeking the truth behind the JFK assassination, CIA overreach, and the legacy of secrecy shaping American power.Chapters:0:00 – The CIA and Frank Olson1:22 – Meet Jefferson Morley: CIA Historian & JFK Expert3:16 – Who Was James Jesus Angleton?4:56 – CIA Mail Surveillance: 200,000 Americans Spied On6:09 – Israel's Secret Ties to the CIA7:30 – JFK vs. Israel's Nuclear Program9:16 – Did the CIA Help Israel Get the Bomb?10:36 – Did Angleton's Secrets Get JFK Killed?12:28 – CIA Assassination Plots & Oswald's Cover Story17:29 – Oswald, David Ferrie & CIA Connections19:08 – Who Killed JFK?

Greetings Beast Folk. Welcome to Dr. Moreau's island. Don't suck the water, kill the rabbits, or even pretend to memorize your lines. Such was the case with this film's two powerhouse leads: Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer. You can literally see their egos taking over and ruining everyone's time. Forbidden Planet anyone? Not to mention the on-set witchcraft, the world's smallest man (inspiring Austin Powers' Mini-Me!), and ice bucket hats. Truly, this is a film everyone should see to believe. So dear Sayers of the Law: does this adaptation of an H.G. Wells classic stand the test of time? Or is it best left in the House of Pain? Plus, enjoy Peter Lorre's review of a Bela Lugosi haunted house romp called Spooks Run Wild. We're all running wild with this one.

The CIA, Dallas, and the Hard Details of the JFK AssassinationCoup in Dallas leaves speculation and theory aside to give the hard details of who killed President John F. Kennedy and how the assassination plot was carried out.Through exhaustive research and newly translated documents, author H. P. Albarelli uncovers and explains the historical roots of state-sponsored assassination, finding disturbing parallels to the assassination of JFK. Albarelli goes beyond conventional JFK assassination theory to piece together the biographies of the lesser-known but instrumental players in the incident, such as Otto Skorzeny, Pierre Lafitte, James Jesus Angleton, Santo Trafficante, and others.Albarelli provides shocking detail on the crucial role that the city of Dallas and its officials played in the maintenance of Dallas as a major hub of CIA activity, and how it led to JFK's assassination and its cover-up.Go beyond LBJ, Lee Harvey Oswald, and Jack Ruby, and read the full, definitive account of what happened on November 22, 1963—and how it came to fruition.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Most ghosts are seemingly passive or even benevolent, appearing to scare people only by accident, never by intent. But then there are the stories of violent and angry ghosts – spirits that not only bring terror, but also bloodshed and even death by their own ghostly hands.

Donate to our October 2024 OVERCOMING THE DARKNESS campaign at https://weirddarkness.com/overcoming. Weird Darkness is narrated by professional full-time voice actor Darren Marlar. IN THIS EPISODE: In 1856, two young children – Joseph and George Cox – disappeared in the Allegheny Mountains. The story is tragic… and it also has a bizarre ending. (Lost Children of the Alleghenies) *** Is he an elf? A troll? Not only is it hard to classify Latin America's El Duende – but it's even difficult to know if he's good, evil, or just a mischievous menace! (Duende The Menace) *** Bachelor's Grove Cemetery just outside of Chicago is a mystery. No one knows exactly how it got its name; no one is sure when the first burial there took place or why it has since been abandoned; there is no explanation for the strange lights that are often seen there, or the ghostly lady, or the phantom horse and rider. (Bachelor's Grove Cemetery) *** A man is found in a graveyard with a bullet to his skull, barely alive. He died later – but what exactly happened to him is a bit of a mystery. Our guess though is that it had something to do with him being a grave robber. (A Grave Robber's Fate) *** Forensics has come a long way over the years, making it harder and harder for criminals to get away with crimes – particularly brutal crimes where DNA is usually left behind because of a struggle or physical assault. But despite technological advancements, there are still those cases that remain unsolved – and we'll look at a few murders of women whose cases still can't be closed. (Unsolved Female Murders) *** How's the saying go… “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned?” That's good advice for the living – but probably even more apropos when dealing with female ghosts! (Famous Female Phantoms) *** Imagine you're in a small town and suddenly you begin seeing people around you starting to change into beastly creatures. They begin attacking those around them, ripping them apart, eating like wild animals. Then suddenly you begin the transformation yourself… you are becoming a werewolf. But you were never bitten by a monster, nor were the townsfolk. How could this be happening? This actually happened in a small town in France… and one of the theories as to how it happened will not only surprise you, but have you wondering if it will happen to you someday.

MK-Ultra was a secretive CIA project that took place between 1953 and 1973, during which the agency conducted various experiments on unwitting U.S. citizens to explore the potential use of drugs like LSD for mind control, brainwashing, and psychological torture. The project originated from Cold War paranoia, as the U.S. government feared that Soviet and communist agents were using mind control on American prisoners of war. The CIA, led by Allen Dulles and headed by Sidney Gottlieb, initiated MK-Ultra to develop techniques for manipulating human behavior, using drugs, electroshock therapy, and other psychological tools. Over 150 experiments were conducted, many without the knowledge of the participants. One notable drug used in MK-Ultra was LSD, synthesized in 1938 by scientist Albert Hofmann. Originally intended as a circulatory stimulant, Hofmann discovered its hallucinogenic effects after accidentally ingesting the substance in 1943. His intense experience with hallucinations and vivid colors led to further exploration of LSD's mind-altering properties, and the CIA soon took an interest in its potential for brainwashing and interrogation. The CIA purchased large quantities of LSD, experimenting on various groups, including prisoners, military personnel, and even its own employees. One of the most infamous incidents was the case of Frank Olson, a bacteriologist who worked on biological warfare at Fort Detrick. After being unknowingly dosed with LSD during a CIA retreat in 1953, Olson's mental health deteriorated, and he died shortly after, allegedly falling from a New York hotel window under mysterious circumstances. Many believe Olson was murdered by the CIA to keep him silent about the agency's dark practices. MK-Ultra also included projects like Operation Midnight Climax, where unsuspecting individuals were lured by prostitutes into CIA-run safehouses and dosed with LSD. The program's secrecy was such that even top government officials were unaware of its scope. Although officially halted in 1973, MK-Ultra's true extent remains obscured, as most records were destroyed. Revelations about the program came to light through investigations by the Senate Church Committee in the 1970s, revealing the CIA's illegal experiments on unwitting citizens. Originally recorded in August of 2023 in two parts.

HP Albarelli: A Terrible Mistake: The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA's Secret Cold War ExperimentsFollowing nearly a decade of research, this account solves the mysterious death of biochemist Frank Olson, revealing the identities of his murderers in shocking detail. It offers a unique and unprecedented look into the backgrounds of many former CIA, FBI, and Federal Narcotics Bureau officials—including several who actually oversaw the CIA's mind-control programs from the 1950s to the 1970s. In retracing these programs, a frequently bizarre and always frightening world is introduced, colored and dominated by many factors—Cold War fears, the secret relationship between the nation's drug enforcement agencies and the CIA, and the government's close collaboration with the Mafia.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

In 1953 Frank Olson was a scientist for the CIA.  He was most notably working on Anthrax research.  He was on his way trying to find his way out of the CIA.  He was sent to NYC to see a psychiatrist for some mental health struggles when something unspeakable happened.  He leapt to his death out of a NYC hotel room.  BUT did he jump or was he pushed? 

On November 28, 1953, a government employee named Frank Olson plummeted to his death from a window in New York City's Statler Hotel. Decades later, a new investigation into his death revealed one of the government's most secretive and disturbing projects, involving LSD, brainwashed assassins, and mind control. In this episode, Krista and Kurt look into the truly frightening history of Project MKUltra. And, as always, a taste-test and listener questions!

(The Axeman's Jazz) *** The investigation of an apparent suicide in 1953 led to an unbelievable theory… not only had the victim used LSD years earlier, but it was quite possible it was forced upon him by the Central Intelligence Agency. (The CIA and LSD) *** You don't often hear of people being struck and killed by lightning – at least not nowadays. But pick up a paper from the early 1900s and you'd think people were doing it as a hobby. (Death By Electrical Storm) *** January 30th, 1835 was the date of the first attempt at assassinating a sitting U.S. President – Andrew Jackson. That fact itself doesn't warrant placement in Weird Darkness, seeing as the attempt failed – but the story leading up to the attempt, and the attempt itself, certainly earn their place in this episode. (The President and the Madman) *** I'll end the episode in the Chamber of Comments, but before that, my last story will the most disturbing one of the episode. Most ghosts are seemingly passive or even benevolent, appearing to scare people only by accident, never by intent. But then there are the stories of violent and angry ghosts – spirits that not only bring terror, but also bloodshed and even death by their own ghostly hands.

This Episode is sponsored by Better Help Get 10% off your first month with betterhelp.com/morningcup   July 17th: Frank Olson Born (1910) When important organizations are involved in a case, sometimes the truth can be difficult to suss out. On July 17th 1910 a man was born who would go on to have an incredible, and disturbing career. One that would place him in the crosshairs of an organization that, some believe, may be covering up his death.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Olson, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/sep/06/from-mind-control-to-murder-how-a-deadly-fall-revealed-the-cias-darkest-secrets, https://spyscape.com/article/frank-olson-the-cias-secret-quest-for-mind-control, https://www.thedailybeast.com/did-the-cias-dr-frank-olson-jump-to-his-death-or-was-he-pushed, https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2018/02/22/who-killed-frank-olson/, https://hilltopmonitor.jewell.edu/opinion-conspiracy-theory-frank-olson-was-murdered-not-suicidal/, https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Frank_Olson

A week after he was unwittingly dosed with LSD by MK-Ultra's mastermind, Sidney Gottlieb, Frank Olson dropped 13 stories from a hotel window. After his suspicious death, two critical questions remained: Was Olson part of Project Span, which poisoned a small town in France? And did he really take his own life?

He was a military scientist for the CIA and worked on clandestine operations including MK-Ultra. As part of his job, Frank Olson witnessed some of the government's most horrific human experiments. But when he began to have second thoughts, he discovered quitting was impossible. He knew too much. And then he was found dead. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
