Project MKOFTEN: Drugs, The Occult, & The CIA | 297

Hysteria 51

After the planet was ravaged by World War 2 the powers that be were looking for any edge they could. The United States was no different. So, they engaged in many secret medical experiments designed to help win the cold war... But at what cost? Let’s just say you can’t perfect mind control and Manchurian candidates without breaking a few eggs, and by eggs we mean unknowing subjects, both military and civilian. Oh yeah, black magic and the occult might have been involved as well... you know, for good measure. So, strap in, we are talking MKOften and CIA shenanigans via... wait for it... DRUGS.. this week on Hysteria 51
