Sidney Gottlieb

Sidney Gottlieb was an American chemist and spy known for leading the CIA's secret experiments in mind control during the 1950s and 1960s. He oversaw projects involving drugs like LSD to explore mind manipulation and behavior control, often conducting experiments on unwitting subjects. His work was part of Cold War efforts to develop techniques for interrogation and influence, raising ethical and legal questions. Despite the controversy, Gottlieb was a significant figure in the history of covert operations and psychological research conducted by intelligence agencies during that era.
