Secret LSD experiments and MKUltra

This is the story of the decade-long MK ULTRA program that used unwitting candidates for mind-control
tests.
In this edition of Standup Historian, I talk about the history of CIA tests on unwitting citizens and the
possibility of gaining control over a person’s mind became one of the top pursuits for intelligence services.
I talk about the Church Committee and its report regarding the abuse of power by the United States
intelligence agencies to conduct experiments on US citizens without their consent.
I talk about Sidney Gottlieb, Dr. Frank Olson, and James “Whitey” Bulger, and also projects CHATTER, BLUEBIRD,
ARTICHOKE, and of course MKULTRA.
