Just found out about Project MKUltra, where the CIA ran “mind control” experiments in hospitals, prisons, and military bases — without telling anyone. People went in for medical treatment or psychiatric care and were unknowingly given LSD, subjected to sensory deprivation, and sometimes worse… all for “national security.”
It’s not full-blown enraging (that’s for /c/actuallyinfuriating), but it is mind-numbingly frustrating that this actually happened — and that most of it got buried.
I made a short video breaking it down:
Who signed off on this? Seriously.
The stories from Abu Ghraib alone make my skin crawl.
That was 20 years ago. I can only imagine it’s a lot worse for people detained by ICE right now.
