TRUE SHIT- The CIA and MK-ULTRA

People who believe in many conspiracy theories are regarded by the wider population as being nutters and kooks. Often, their tales of conspiracy defy logic and imagination. Then, you stumble across what I call "conspiracy facts." Project MK-ULTRA is one of those conspiracy facts.

In the 1950s, the CIA began experiments in mind control. Many of the subjects of these experiments were unaware that they were participating in these experiments that involved everything from LSD to hypnosis. This shit is sick, but it really happened. One infamous experiment was Operation Midnight Climax where the CIA used whorehouses to see the effects of LSD on unconsenting individuals. Individuals were lured to the brothels and studied from behind one way glass. Other programs were set up at universities, prisons, and military institutions to study more of the effects of the experiments. One suspected participant in such experiments was the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski.

This information came out in 1975 as a result of the Church Committee investigation in Congress. The CIA destroyed much of the information relating to MKULTRA and other similar programs. The CIA denies that experiments of this nature continue, but this is disputed.

True shit.
