Описание: Hey guys, Bat$hicray here, just wanna let you know that im not a conspiracy thoerist and all content is pulled from actual interviews and from the CIA's and FBI's declassified documents.

description for NERDS: In the 1950s, the CIA launched a secret project called Operation Midnight Climax, part of the larger MKULTRA program. Hidden safehouses were set up in San Francisco and New York, where government-hired prostitutes lured unsuspecting men. Without their knowledge, these men were secretly given doses of LSD while CIA agents watched from behind one-way mirrors.

This video examines the declassified documents that reveal how the operation worked, the goals behind it, and the ethical issues it raised. We’ll also look at how the program fit into Cold War fears about mind control, and why most MKULTRA records were later destroyed.

Operation Midnight Climax remains one of the strangest and most disturbing experiments in U.S. intelligence history, showing how far agencies were willing to go in their search for psychological control.
