About this episode
Leaked documents reveal the CIA's darkest legacy—Project MK Ultra. In the 1950s, they began experimenting with mind control using psychological torture, hallucinogenic drugs, and subliminal conditioning. Victims? Often unaware—and sometimes children. The story unfolds through real case files, redacted memos, and testimony, showing how a "terminated" program may have evolved in secret. Is mind control still being tested? We dive into its history, its shadowy resurrection in digital tech, and ask: What if your thoughts were never really yours?
