The Occult History of the CIA: Witchcraft as Statecraft

The relationship between occultism and intelligence agencies stretches back much further than the Cold War. This video traces that history from Elizabethan England through World War II and the Cold War, examining the ways governments have used, studied, and experimented with occult practices for intelligence, psychological warfare, and espionage.From John Dee and Enochian magic to Nazi occult research, MKUltra, remote viewing, and the strange career of U.S. Army intelligence officer Michael Aquino, this is a history of the intersection between the occult and the intelligence world.The further the story goes, the harder it becomes to separate the people using occultism as a tool from the people who actually believed in it.
