How to Brainwash Someone: MK ULTRA

Welcome to our first episode! Today, Kiersten welcomes Felix into the crazy world of MK Ultra. MK Ultra, is the CIA program that took place in the sixties where the government researched methods of brainwashing using drugs, sex, hypnosis and other methods. This research was conducted illegitimately and often involved unknowing parties being injected with LSD which was presented as Flu shots. During Watergate, the director of the CIA ordered all documents on the program to be destroyed and we only know about it now thanks to someone's inability to file things properly. We also discuss a little bit on how modern brands and media can create brainwashing effects on a far less extreme level. Listen to us discuss this absolutely true and insane part of American History and probably make fun of it.

As always, we are not professionals in this field, we're only enthusiasts for the odd, bizarre dark and macabre. While we try to be entirely correct, and do our research, we're bound to get some things wrong. so please do your own research before jumping to conclusions.  Here's the sources we used: Video by Joe Scott: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejaGzxEevGI Wikipedia article(yeah,we know): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKUltra Official Declassified Documents:  https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/search/site/MK-Ultra
