Project MKUltra, a clandestine operation conducted by the CIA, involved the use of psychoactive substances, hypnosis, and other forms of manipulation to control human behavior. The program, which ran from 1953 to 1973, was shrouded in secrecy and has been widely condemned as a gross violation of human rights. As we delve into the history of MKUltra, it becomes clear that this program was a product of the Cold War era’s paranoia and the CIA’s desire to push the boundaries of human psychology.
