MKUltra was a highly classified and illegal CIA program that ran from the early 1950s until 1973. Its primary objective was to develop techniques for mind control, chemical interrogation, and behavior modification for use in Cold [[War]] intelligence operations. The program conducted extensive, unethical experiments on human subjects, often without their knowledge or consent. These experiments involved the administration of psychoactive drugs (especially LSD), hypnosis, sensory deprivation, isolation, and various forms of psychological abuse. Most documents related to the program were destroyed on orders from the CIA Director in 1973, though its existence was later exposed by congressional investigations. The full scope of its activities and the identities of many victims remain unknown. This real-life pursuit of psychological manipulation and coercive [[Control]] mirrors the dystopian themes of state-enforced behavior modification famously depicted in Anthony Burgess’s novel, [[A Clockwork Orange]]. `Concepts:` `Knowledge Base:`
