MK-ULTRA Never Ended - It Just Went Mainstream.

 MK-ULTRA used psychoactive drugs, electroshock, sensory deprivation, and other torture modalities to turn the unwitting test subject’s psyche into mush and reconstitute it into a malleable control panel. Rather than creating the perfect Manchurian Candidate, the CIA program only managed to produce psychologically wrecked headcases. MK-ULTRA officially lasted from 1953 to 1973. Instead of shelving this crime against humanity, the US Empire retooled it for mass consumption. MK-ULTRA never ended. It just went mainstream.
