MKUltra — The CIA and the Search for Mind Control
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when a government becomes convinced the human mind can be broken, reshaped, or controlled?
In this episode of History Declassified, we examine MKUltra — the CIA’s infamous Cold War programme exploring mind control, LSD experimentation, psychological manipulation, and covert human testing.
From the paranoia of the early Cold War and fears of communist “brainwashing”, to the rise of Sidney Gottlieb, Frank Olson, and some of the most disturbing behavioural experiments ever linked to American intelligence, this is the story of how fear, secrecy, and power combined behind closed doors.
This is not the mythology of MKUltra.
This is the history.
