Ever heard of mind control? Back in the early 1950’s the U.S. CIA created a program to try and do mass mind control.

Since the experiments were sometimes illegal the code name for the program was MKULTRA. The MK meaning the program is being supported by agency’s Technical Services Staff and Ultra previously being used for designate the most secret classification.

Human experiments were meant to be used in interrogations and torture so that those individuals can be weakened and force confessions through mind control. Since many of the projects were illegal, they would unwrite US and Canadian citizens which made it suspicious if it was legit.

MKULTRA would use many different ways such as giving drugs and other chemicals, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal abuse and other psychological torture to manipulate mental states and brain functions.

The project is said to have affected over 150 people but its not clear on how many people were really tested on.

The program started in 1953 when the head of the CIA, Allen Dulles, approved and it lasted until 1973. Information and details about Project MKULTRA didn’t become public until 1975.

Some of the test subjects knew they were apart of a study but many had no idea. Even with the psychedelic drugs, paralytics, and electroshock therapy started to take an effect on them.
