In Part One of our special on “Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties,” Paige Elmore and Eric Fisk discuss one of the most sensational aspects of this story: MKULTRA.

According to History.com:
"MK-Ultra was a top-secret CIA project in which the agency conducted hundreds of clandestine experiments—sometimes on unwitting U.S. citizens—to assess the potential use of LSD and other drugs for mind control, information gathering, and psychological torture. Though Project MK-Ultra lasted from 1953 until about 1973, details of the illicit program didn’t become public until 1975, during a congressional investigation into widespread illegal CIA activities within the United States and around the world."

Paige and Eric try to follow the threads that link many of the actual crimes and conspiracies from the 1950s, 60’s and ’70s that are weaved together via one man: Dr. Louis Jolyon West.
