Spooky stuff. Well, the charming young lady I recently met asked me about MK Ultra and this is the perfect night to write about it. The Wikipedia page is in this link. Wikipedia - MK Ultra. Certain activities of the CIA were investigate by the Church Committee (so named because of Frank Church a congressman that headed the committee). The committee investigate CIA misdeeds such as assassinations of foreign leaders, involvement in rigging foreign elections and other misdeeds. As part of the investigation they brought what was known as Project MK Ultra, the MK stands for Mind Control. The same committee also looked into the CIA illegally spying on Americans, how little things change and how much they remain the same. MK Ultra was a program designed to mind wash people to make them into psychological assassins, it was not successful; but, it did happen.
This is a link to the "Black Vault" which is the best source for FOIA documents there is. Black Vault - MK Ultra, it uses the Freedom of Information Act to obtain government documents. You can find the documents on the congress's own website; but, the Black Vault really organizes them more easily for review. Now mind you, the head of the CIA ordered all the documents to be destroyed and only some remain; but, what does remain is scary enough.
Back in the 1950s and 1960s the United States experimented with using LSD, radiation, microwaves and other things, including extreme emotional manipulation, to create mind controlled people. It sounds crazy; but, read up on DARPA, we will investigate anything we can use against others. The CIA and DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) funding Project Stargate to investigate remote psychic viewing and using psychic abilities to control others and find stuff. It should be noted that these types of projects have never stopped, Lt. Colonel Michael Aquino, the founder of the Satanic Church called "Temple of Set" wrote about how we could use PsyOps for the military.
The government is always investigating new ways to control people or get information out of them. MK Ultra failed, for the most part, Stargate failed; but, what MK Ultra showed was just how much the CIA was willing to ignore the constitution to deny people their rights. The Church committee was focused on that bigger issue and primarily on our illegal activities in foreign nations, like overthrowing their governments or killing their political leaders.
Mr. Aquino is an occultist and if you wish to hear something really spooky listen to the history of occultism and secret societies.

Remember, most occultist view the occult as symbolic. Understand what they believe the symbolism is really saying.
Happy Halloween.
