This recap episode features historian, John Lisle concerning the long-running US intelligence programs focused on mind control, most notably MK Ultra. The discussion explored the program's origins, linking it to earlier OSS experiments that involved developing truth serums and utilizing unconventional warfare tactics. A primary focus is placed on the unethical nature of the work, which included secretly administering LSD and other psychoactive substances to unwitting American citizens and prisoners through figures like George White, who ran the clandestine dosing brothel known as Operation Midnight Climax. The speakers also examine the disastrous psychological experiments conducted by psychiatrist Ewen Cameron and criticize the significant lack of government oversight that permitted these illegal activities to continue for decades with minimal accountability. Ultimately, the segment uses these historical abuses to reflect on the deep mistrust between the public and the government, as well as the pervasive influence of secrecy and disinformation.---We all love The Joe Rogan Experience and much prefer the real thing, but sometimes it's not possible to listen to an entire episode or you just want to recap an episode you've previously listened to.
