We saved the mother of all fucked up psychology studies for last... MKUltra. During the early Cold War and Korean Wars, in the late '40s and early '50s, the CIA became a super paranoid and obsessed spy agency, working on the notion that communists might have perfected some kind of a drug or technique that could control the human mind.  Project MKUltra lasted through the '50s and '60s (at least that's what they want us to think) and killed many people and destroyed countless lives.Wait... the CIA is shady AF? Yep, and you probably didn't know just how unscrupulous  until now.
