Today on Encounters, Amanda and Dakota are joined by Encounter's own "Mistress of Conspiracies", Natalie to discuss Project MK-Ultra. The CIA and United States Government has a multitude of secret skeletons in the closet but one of the largest "worst kept secret" of the CIA could be the MK-Ultra Projects. From Super Soldiers to Mind Control, Project MKUltra was an illegal human experimentation program designed and undertaken by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. We believe the intent was to develop procedures and identify drugs that could be used in interrogations to weaken individuals and force confessions through brainwashing and psychological torture, but how much further does that rabbit hole go?
