EP 66: MK Ultra

This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing MK Ultra. MK Ultra was a project operated by the United States Central Intelligence Agency in which they performed illegal experiments on oftentimes unknowing human subjects by using drugs like LSD, electroshock, hypnosis, abuse, food and sleep deprivation, AND MORE to determine if these techniques would be useful in order to force confessions, brainwash, and overall, just inflict horrendous psychological torture. These experiments would lead to absolute psychological trauma and, in at least one case, death.

The MK Ultra Project ran from 1953 to 1973 and was exposed in 1975 by the Church Committee and the United States President’s Commission on CIA Activities...but only after an incredible journalist with the New York Times began investigating the matter.
