The Rooms Where Consent Disappeared

This episode explores Operation Midnight Climax, one of the most disturbing subprojects connected to MKULTRA. In secret apartments, unwitting people were reportedly exposed to LSD and observed as part of the CIA’s search for tools of interrogation, influence, and control. In three minutes, the episode asks what happens when national security turns human beings into instruments, and when the word “research” is used to cover the disappearance of consent.
