6. The CIA’s Project MKUltra
The CIA’s Project MKUltra was a covert operation that experimented with mind control, often targeting unwitting American and Canadian citizens. These illegal tests involved drugs, hypnosis, and psychological manipulation. For decades, the existence and scope of MKUltra were rigorously concealed. Key documents were deliberately destroyed in the 1970s as officials sought to shield themselves from public outrage and potential prosecution. The truth emerged only through congressional investigations and whistleblowers. Uncover more about this dark chapter at History.com.
