Operation MKUltra

Operation MKUltra was a secret government program conducted by the CIA from the 1950s to the early 1970s, aimed at developing mind control techniques. The program involved testing drugs, hypnosis, and other methods on unwitting subjects to explore ways to influence or manipulate behavior for intelligence purposes. Many experiments were unethical and involved human rights violations, including the use of torture and exposing individuals to dangerous substances without their consent. Public awareness of MKUltra led to investigations and greater scrutiny of clandestine government activities, highlighting concerns about ethics and abuse of power in intelligence operations.
