Episode 139: MKUltra Part 2:

We are back this week with part 3 of the Friends Don't Lie Files, and Part 2 of MKUltra.

After Operation Artichoke started many more secret operations took place across the US. And the number of people dosed without their knowledge and consent also exploded.

From high ranking military officials, to hospital patients and prisoners, no one was excluded from being a test subject for the various chemicals the government wanted to test.

And if someone wanted out of this project, as was the case with Frank Olsen, they were likely to take a jump out of a 13th story window, accidently of course.
