About this listen
As Stranger Things races toward its final releases on December 25 and December 31, one of its most chilling ideas keeps resurfacing: that the mind can be opened, rewritten, and weaponized. The inspiration isn’t a fictional Hawkins program. It’s MKUltra, a real Cold War CIA project that treated people like disposable equipment. LSD. isolation. “Truth serum” obsession. The belief that control was just one breakthrough away.
The nightmare starts with insiders and ends with civilians who never consented. Frank Olson’s unraveling after a secret LSD dosing. Apartments built like traps with two-way mirrors. Prisoners pushed into chemical terror. Patients in Montreal reduced to blanks through drug comas, extreme shocks, and looping messages meant to rebuild what was erased. Some records survived by accident, but the most important names and details were destroyed on purpose, leaving the darkest parts just out of reach.
