In this episode of Fringe Beyond Limits the hosts unravel the history and human cost of MKUltra — from the mysterious death of Frank Olson and unethical LSD dosing to Operation Midnight Climax, Dr. Ewan Cameron’s brutal experiments, and the CIA’s destruction of files. They explore how Cold War fear drove dangerous research, the limited results of so-called mind control efforts, and the program’s lasting cultural and ethical fallout. Through testimony, investigations, and cultural connections, the episode examines what is known, what remains uncertain, and why MKUltra continues to provoke questions about power, consent, and governmental secrecy.
