Note: THIS PODCAST CONTAINS DISTURBING ELEMENTS AND COULD TRIGGER MONARCH SURVIVORS AND SENSITIVES !!!
Mind control conspiracies have always captured the American imagination, due in part to a controversial history of government experimentation. But that these are actually true and beyond imagination was a shock that still resonates deeply today. Since the 1950s, triggered by the Korean War, the US government has been researching psychological manipulation through secret programs. The infamous CIA project MK Ultra, conducted in the 1960s, involved LSD experiments and other methods of influencing human behavior and fueled widespread distrust. This mistrust was the birth of another project, the successor to MKultra: The Monarch Project.
From government cover-ups to unspeakable atrocities, the legacy of MK Ultra and the Monarch Project continues to generate debate. Explore the disturbing history of mind control experiments and learn how deeply this horror is rooted in government, intelligence and secret societies.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
