Welcome to our podcast exploring the dark and mysterious world of MK-Ultra. MK-Ultra was a top-secret program of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that ran from the 1950s to the early 1970s. Its goal was to develop mind control techniques for use in espionage, but the methods used were often unethical and sometimes even torturous.In this podcast, we'll delve into the history and practices of MK-Ultra, and explore some of the key figures and events involved. To guide us on this journey, we'll be drawing on two books that shed light on different aspects of this shadowy world:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theory-or-not--4674638 "The Search for the Manchurian Candidate" by John Marks, and "Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon" by David McGowan."The Search for the Manchurian Candidate" is a seminal work of investigative journalism that uncovered the true extent of the MK-Ultra program and its disturbing experiments on human subjects. It reveals the inner workings of the CIA and how it used drugs, hypnosis, and other methods to try and control people's minds."Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon", on the other hand, focuses on the counterculture of the 1960s and its relationship with the intelligence community. It explores the strange and surreal world of Laurel Canyon, a bohemian enclave in Los Angeles that was home to many of the era's most influential musicians and artists. McGowan argues that many of these figures were connected to intelligence agencies, and that their work was used to promote a specific cultural agenda.So join us as we journey down the rabbit hole of MK-Ultra, and explore the dark and often unsettling truths behind this notorious program.
