Project MK-Ultra

✔

Project MKUltra was a series of human experiments initiated in 1953 by the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States in their desire to brainwash people, often with the goal of controlling them into giving accurate testimonies. Many of these experiments involved many human rights abuses, even as far as crimes against humanity. It was halted in the 70s, and was shortly after exposed to the general public, causing an uproar.

Many experiments involved involuntary drug injection (prominently LSD), torture, physical assault, harassment, and sexual abuse. Some of these were even done against people with disabilities and children, which greatly increased the uproar. 

It is often considered to be among the worst things the United States has ever done.
