THEY ERASED PEOPLE: The CIA’s Secret "Mind Wiping" Lab
Season 1 Episode 466
Imagine checking into a hospital for mild post-partum depression and waking up months later with the mind of a toddler, unable to remember your own children. 🏥❌
It sounds like the plot of a horror movie, but for the victims of Dr. Ewen Cameron at the Allan Memorial Institute, it was a terrifying reality. In this episode, we open the classified files on Project MKUltra Subproject 68—the CIA’s darkest attempt to "crack" the human mind.
We travel back to Cold War-era Montreal, where the CIA secretly funded a renowned psychiatrist to perfect the art of brainwashing. His goal? To wipe a human mind clean—tabula rasa—and reprogram it from scratch to create the perfect spy (or assassin). 🕵️♂️🧠
We uncover the brutal details of Cameron’s methods: from "Psychic Driving" (forcing patients to listen to looped messages for thousands of hours) to massive electroshock therapy and drug-induced comas that lasted for months. This wasn't just bad medicine; it was state-sponsored torture disguised as therapy.
How did the US and Canadian governments let this happen? Why were innocent people used as human guinea pigs? And what happens when the people supposed to heal you decide to break you instead?
We breakdown the tragic legacy of the Montreal Experiments, the fight for justice, and why this story proves that sometimes, the conspiracy theories are actually true.
In this episode, we cover:
- The horrifying science of "De-patterning" and memory erasure.
- Who was Dr. Ewen Cameron? Genius or monster?
- How the CIA funneled money into Canada to bypass US laws.
- The survivors' decades-long battle for compensation and truth.
