Episode 191: Congress Finally Talks About MKUltra… and Immediately Ruins It

Congress actually held a hearing on MKUltra, and for a brief, glorious moment it looked like we'd get a serious discussion about CIA mind control experiments, Frank Olson, Sidney Gottlieb, Charles Manson, and newly declassified files. Instead, the hearing devolved into an anti-vaccine spectacle complete with political grandstanding and conspiracy talking points.This week we're breaking down everything that happened, separating documented history from speculation, and asking whether this new era of government "disclosure" is really about transparency, or about redirecting public attention elsewhere. If you came for MKUltra and stayed for the congressional clown show, this one's for you.
