If you want to know what your government will do to you, just look at what they do to their enemies.

I have studied and written about Mkultra for years. Mind control/Mkultra trauma programming now is not just about creating one single patsy or assassin, it is about controlling and brainwashing an entire population to think and act a certain way. Which is exactly the problem with our world now. Everyone is a controlled asset and puppet of the deep state. Those early experiments were just that: experiments to see what was possible, and they did these experiments in every industry and institutions. They didn't stop, they advanced and expanded. After the early LSD experiments, look what happened: a counter culture youth revolution was created, and spread through the colleges, where students and young people used LCD in massive quantities throughout the 60s and 70s, and then the drug culture (a massive part of MKultra programming) spread, both recreationally and pharmacologically. We had the Manson murders, and on and on. We have Hollywood and the music industry. We have the pharma-cabal and psychiatry.We have iPhone and social media. We have Reality TV and the Kardashians and the plastic surgery. That's all DARPA-based, intelligence agencies social engineering. If they could do this after the World Wars in the 1940s and 50s, without our knowledge or consent, imagine what they can do almost a hundred years later. What do you think COVID was? Megyn is still such a Normie. Wake up. There are so many books--Choas, George Estabrook' Hypnosis published decades ago, Operation Paperclip, Trans-formation of America by Cathy O'Brien, The Franklin Cover Up, Epstein, and on and on. At it's heart, Mkultra is not simply about mind control, it is about created traumatized people, who are split and psychically damaged and obedient. Never has this been truer about the world we live in.

After everything that’s happened the last few years… Is it crazy to question institutions... or necessary?

Sirhan was MK Ultra. Operation Mockingbird never ended. Operation Midnight Climax was another. Why would they have ended MK Ultra? Manson was a CIA experiment. None of the truth will come out. If they admitted even one sliver of truth, like that a small amount of rogue elements in the CIA targetted JFK, then no one would believe ANYTHING else that they say and people would realize that most of the other "Conspiracy Theories" are true.

13:00 Megyn, do you remember that whole thing with 9/11 and then the patriot act and then Snowden? That was about us losing our rights completely. They don’t need a warrant, they are always listening, etc etc. It’s not even a conspiracy anymore!

In hindsight, it obvious that gangster rap is a CIA/Mossad operation.

Why conspiracy theories grow in a post-Covid world, seriously Megyn? Probably bc every significant event—JFK, RFK, MLK, Epstein, Covid, Butler, CK, 9/11—the govt. has lied to us & operated in secrecy w/ impunity. Even today w/ mandates from Congress & the Pres., we still don't have the full JFK & Epstein files—info we essentially paid for. It's getting to a point of why vote if either way you get this corrupt, traitorous uni-party that works on behalf of the parasitic elites?!

The biggest threat to every person on this planet is their own government.
