A deep-dive investigative series examining documented cases where dismissed 'conspiracy theories' were later proven true through evidence and investigation. Two hosts—a historical researcher and evidence analyst—guide listeners through the journey from initial skepticism to factual validation, exploring how and why these truths were initially suppressed.
In this premiere episode, we examine how claims about the CIA conducting secret mind control experiments on unwitting American citizens went from being dismissed as paranoid delusions to becoming documented history. Our hosts trace the evolution from the first whistleblower accounts in the 1960s through the 1975 Church Committee investigations and the eventual declassification of over 20,000 documents in 1976. The episode details specific experiments conducted at universities and hospitals, the role of Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, and how investigative journalist Seymour Hersh's groundbreaking reporting helped expose the truth.
