Über diesen Titel

 The Fairshake Files continues through the declassified record on Project MK-ULTRA — the CIA’s covert Cold War program to research behavioral modification, interrogation, and chemical influence.

This chapter moves from theory into the street. In 1955, an operation known as Operation Midnight Climax ran out of a San Francisco safehouse: a staged apartment, hidden microphones, a two-way mirror, and unwitting “subjects” dosed with LSD while the government watched from behind the wall.

We follow the mechanics of the operation, the people who ran it, and the collateral damage that followed — including the Wayne Ritchie case. Then we trace how MK-ULTRA solved its two problems: deniable dosing in the outside world, and repeatable access inside a prison. This is intelligence history, documented record, and true crime with context and receipts.

IN THIS EPISODE:
  • Operation Midnight Climax and the San Francisco safehouse model
  • George Hunter White and the role of cut-outs in domestic CIA activity
