Description

Welcome to our 5 year anniversary, 5-part series re-release! This month, we're bringing back Psychedelic Nightmare, a podcast series on the impact of the CIA's LSD-fueled experiments on mind control, MKUltra*, & the domino effect it (in)directly created worldwide. ----------------Part 2: So, Evil Bro content warning: violence, torture, anti-black racism, mention of drugs In part two of this series on MKUltra, you’ll learn more about the roll out of these LSD-fueled experiments and how they came to a close.We take a deeper look at the cruel intersections of racism and classism that guided these projects and the role(s) that criminalization/punishment played. We also highlight the stark contrast between the trauma and dehumanization experienced by unknowing “test subjects” in mental institutions and prisons, and the bohemian counter-culture cultivated by white beat writers who were willing participants of MK Ultra university experiments. You’ll also learn more about popular conspiracies tied to these experiments and the psychology behind conspiracy-based beliefs. Check out Akshi's Interview on All Humans Are Human here ReferencesReach out to us with thoughts, comments, questions or collab requests!NOTE FOR SPOTIFY LISTENERS: Starting 03/01/2026 we will no longer be on Spotify.
