What Was MKUltra In The End?

 Shortly after WW II....the CIA got a tasking.  Basically, after examining the Japanese and German experiments going on....the US took what they had and built a 'lab' of sorts....to continue developments.  

Key areas?  I'd suggest seven areas:

1.  Develop substances that helped impulsiveness and poor thinking.

2.  Develop substances that improved your perception.

3.  Develop substances that doubled-up the effect of booze.

4.  Find useful ways of hypnosis.

5.  Develop ways to 'fight-off' torture or brainwashing. 

6.  Find products/substances that produce amnesia.  

7.  Find ways (substances) to make you dependent upon a function or person.

For about twenty years....the CIA went at this mission, then realized public attention was going to arrive shortly.....destroying a great deal of the paperwork. 

The development of these 'tools'?  There's a lot of discussion that has come up over the past fifty years....that various people walked out the backdoor.....taking their 'tools' to various companies/individuals, and that MKUltra got 'loose' in public.

The Unabomber?  Well....Ted Kaczynski was rumored to have been on one of these experimental efforts with MKUltra.  Same is suggested for Sirhan Sirhan (RFK's killer).  Charles Manson?  Yep....he was connected in various ways.  

In the end, as much as the CIA thought they were doing a good deed.....they were simply opening up a bigger door to a mess which cannot ever be cleaned up.
