      I swear to god dude those files changed 12 year old me when I found out about them.

      It seriously tore me apart I was asking all of my teachers about it, every single adult I know “Did you know that we did this?? Why don’t we learn about this here in school?” I obsessed over it.

      My dad finally told me to tone it the fuck down, so I did. But I still think about them all the time because it was like one of the first glimpses I had into the fact that people we are supposed to trust are untrustworthy.

        I was about 12 or 13 when I read them too on some obscure shady forum and I was like “This is crazy conspiracy theorist shit.” Little did I know, those crazy conspiracy nuts were on to something

      Like, thinking that was done to them or…

      Because ngl reading those docs does sound fascinating, but not in any way healing

      WOW a reader! So whats up! I would love to pick their brain. Cool interest but subject is bleak which is fine with me. Did you tell them how you feel? or other people?

        If you’re a reader check them out

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MKUltra

        Some of the ones I remember most are the ones where the pediatricians would experiment on the bodies of some of the kids who died in the hospitals and not tell the parents, and when they gave that CIA guy a heroic mega dose of LSD and put him in a mirrored room with prostitues and he jumped out a window or the one where they fed kids in the “science club” at their school irradiated oats from the Quaker Oats corporation (trademark! They knew about it) just to see what would happen to them.

        There’s way worse than that in there though. Some real freakshow shit but honestly just imagine all the shit someone was reading through all this saw to want to black out whole pages of information.

        I bet you its because some of it might still be ongoing.
