Could hypnosis turn people into spies — or killers? The CIA thought so. Nathan Radke walks through real Cold War projects where U.S. intelligence seriously explored mind control as a weapon.

Hear the documented truth behind MK-Ultra, Project Artichoke, and bizarre experiments designed to force truth-telling, erase memory, and implant commands. Discover why hypnosis seemed so promising — and why it didn’t deliver. Plus: how today’s propaganda machines may be doing what hypnosis never could. Chilling, strange, and weirdly relevant.
