Episode 106: At 2:25 AM on November 28, 1953, a CIA bacteriologist and chemical warfare specialist named Frank Olson got up, and ran across a dark room in his underwear, dodging two beds, to hurdle through a closed window with the blinds closed and the curtains drawn, falling 10 stories to his death. At least…that’s the official story. Frank Olson was an unwitting participant in a covert operation called MKULTRA, a two decade long crusade to develop mind control through non-consensual human experimentation. Increasingly disillusioned with his work at the CIA, and intimately knowledgeable of both MKULTRA and American use of biological weapons, Frank Olson was the man who knew too much.
