This week we are diving deep into MK Ultra. It's a crazy big subject that is far beyond the one hour mark that we try to keep our podcast at, so if you listen to this one, be ready for the ride. We try to keep every episode around an hour, but this one we went all out. We didn't want to leave any stone un-turned.
As expansive as this episode is, I can't honestly help but feel like we barely scratched the surface of the full scope of MK Ultra. If you want to hear more episodes about this subject, please let us know. Not only would we love to hear your opinion, but if enough people ask for more, we will absolutely create more episodes about this subject.
I was hesitant yet excited to cover this topic. This is information that is readily available, but only for those that know that it's there, which isn't many people at all. I was eager to present this material to those who have never heard of it, but at the same time I was nervous about doing so. Many people choose to ignore this type of information.
I want to be clear: I understand perfectly well why it is that people ignore information like this. It's hard to be raised a certain way and then have information presented the challenge everything that you thought you knew. I understand that perfectly well.
The last thing I want to do is offend someone. I think I make that perfectly clear in every episode. I love everyone regardless of who they are, what sexual orientation they are, or what belief system they have adopted. I care about all human beings.
With that said though, even though this information challenges everything that most people have probably been lead to believe, I feel like it's important to present this information for anyone, and everyone, who will listen.
A lot of this information is a hard pill to swallow, especially for the people who have never really experienced or heard of things of this nature. I know that, that is part of the reason that I was hesitant to do this episode. Quite frankly though, these are things that people need to hear.
MK Ultra
In 1953 the CIA purportedly decided to create a program that would allow them to control the minds of enemy POW's. At least that's how it was sold almost twenty years later after the program was finally exposed and reported to the general public.
MK Ultra was an expansive program that aimed to do a lot of unethical, and quite frankly, bizarre things. It originally was stated that MK Ultra was created for the sake of counteracting enemy countries who had been employing brain-washing techniques against American POW's for years. The American government had acknowledged that it had lost the monopoly on nuclear arms, and it's safest bet was to start spilling the secrets of the countries who had bested America in that respect. It's response was to create the MK Ultra program, which would aim to control the minds of all of America's enemies.
The MK Ultra program ranged from interrogation techniques to methods of manipulating and even assassinating foreign leaders. The real truth of MK Ultra may never be discovered as the vast majority of documents relating to these projects were destroyed by the order of CIA director Richard Helms in 1973. There are around 150 sub-projects of MK Ultra that are unaccounted for, meaning that we only have names of these projects. We have no way to know what these projects were, or the full scope of them because the documents relating to these projects were destroyed under Helms' order.
MK Ultra was more or less an umbrella project. There were a ton of projects that existed under MK Ultra that deserve to be talked about. In the future, I would like to get more in to this subject, but only if YOU, OUR LISTENERS, want that to happen.
If you want to hear more about these subjects, please let me know. I would love to do more, but I don't want to post a bunch of episodes that no one really cares to listen to. Please let me know if you want more episodes like this.
