MK-ULTRA was an illegal mind-control research program that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency operated between 1953 and 1964.
Do you think that programs like MK Ultra still exist?

I think an important corollary of this is that contemporary programs stand on the shoulders of MKULTRA, which did them the favor of testing a lot of hypotheses that didn't pan out.
There's a reason why low-quality high-bias infotainment, social media echo chambers, and controlled opposition platforming are so prevalent, and the only satisfactorily complete answer in my mind is that it's something a quorum of the population will stomach that also gives them the degree of control they think they need.

It gets harder to hide things like secret large scale government operations every day.

True, we now can record everything on phones. That helps.

And Journalists have access to cameras and microphones that fit seamlessly inside shirt buttons and eyewear.

And on the scary side, cameras are now so small that they can be used to spy anywhere. A camera probably the size of a normal mosquito.

So you don't know about the UFO's and aliens?

Yes, absolutely. Gabbard literally just revealed the existence of over 100 bio labs in foreign countries, including Ukraine. There's literally nothing the US government isn't doing to try to advance every aspect of their fucked up agenda. Epstein himself was convinced he was breeding better humans and he was literally protected by US intelligence

It's important to understand exactly what MK Ultra actually was, because the goals of the program shifted more than once.
MK Ultra at its heart, was an attempt by men who were more monstrous than competent to control reality. They acted as if consequences didn't exist, and for decades, they didn't.
By those standards, this shit keeps happening.
