What does a government owe its citizens after twenty years of secretly poisoning them? In 1977, the Church Committee forced Congress to confront that question — and the answers that emerged from the Senate chambers were more disturbing than almost anyone had anticipated.
This episode traces the full architecture of MKUltra: from Sidney Gottlieb's blank-check mandate to control the human mind, to the CIA's bulk purchase of the world's entire LSD supply, to the brothels of Operation Midnight Climax where unwitting men were dosed and observed through one-way mirrors in San Francisco. It follows Ewen Cameron's electroshock experiments on psychiatric patients at McGill University in Montreal — people admitted for depression and anxiety who emerged unable to remember their own lives. And it returns to Frank Olson, the CIA scientist secretly dosed with LSD at a Maryland retreat who fell from a New York hotel window nine days later.
At every turn, the programme exploited the Cold War fear that the Soviets were pulling ahead in the race to weaponise the human mind. That fear became the justification for violating the Nuremberg Code — four years after the world had agreed such violations could never happen again.
The Church Committee hearings of 1977 cracked the story open. But with the bulk of MKUltra's files already shredded on CIA Director Richard Helms's orders, the full reckoning never came. This episode asks why — and what the 2026 Congressional accountability hearings are still trying to uncover.
