CIA’s MKUltra project

The CIA’s MKUltra project was a secret research program initiated in the 1950s aimed at developing methods of mind control, often through experiments involving drugs like LSD, as well as psychological techniques. Its goal was to understand and potentially manipulate human behavior for intelligence and national security purposes. The project involved unethical practices, including administering drugs to unwitting subjects, and was highly secretive. Public awareness of MKUltra came in the 1970s through investigations into government misconduct, revealing the extent of unethical experimentation and raising concerns about civil liberties and human rights.
