**Conspiracy Dad Podcast: "MKUltra: The Government's Secret War on the Mind"**

**Episode Description:**   In this eye-opening episode of *Conspiracy Dad*, we venture into one of the most disturbing and mind-bending operations ever run by the U.S. government—Project MKUltra. From secret drug experiments to mind control attempts, MKUltra is a shadowy chapter in American history that has conspiracy theorists buzzing. Was it just a government research program, or was there a much darker agenda at play? 

We break down the origins of MKUltra, its connection to the CIA, and the wide range of covert experiments conducted on unwitting civilians, including the use of LSD, hypnosis, and even torture. What was the true aim of this operation—was it about controlling the minds of enemies during the Cold War, or was there a more sinister push to control the American public?  

Along the way, we'll uncover strange connections to other government programs, explore survivors' harrowing stories, and examine the shocking details that have only come to light in recent years. Are these the ramblings of conspiracy theorists, or is there an undeniable truth buried beneath layers of secrecy?  

Put on your tinfoil hats and join us as we dive headfirst into MKUltra, the government’s covert war on the mind, and ask the question: What else are they hiding from us?
