show more- (00:01-00:53) U.S. intelligence agencies embarked on a 30-year quest to perfect mind control, crossing ethical boundaries by involving brothels, mystical rituals, and even brain implantation in bulls for experimental control.
- (03:05-04:17) The quest began during World War II with the OSS (Office of Strategic Services), led by General "Wild Bill" Donovan. They explored unconventional and extreme methods including mind control under the leadership of Stanley Lovell, who sought to push American scientists beyond ethical norms.
- (06:04-07:29) George White, an OSS captain, played a significant role in the early and continuing efforts at mind control using various substances like mescaline, scopolamine, and marijuana on unwitting subjects, seeking an elusive "truth drug."
- (09:59-11:59) The CIA continued the search for mind control into the 1950s, discovering LSD, which they believed might be the answer to controlling human behavior. This discovery led to both covert LSD testing on unwitting Americans and explorations into other substances like magic mushrooms in Mexico.
- (18:57-20:12) The investigation and misuse of LSD by the CIA inadvertently contributed to the counterculture movement of the 1960s, with figures like Dr. Timothy Leary promoting the substance, which had escaped into public consumption through flawed CIA operations.
