播音员:本节目深入探讨了美国中央情报局(CIA)臭名昭著的MKUltra计划。该计划始于1953年,是一项秘密的人体实验项目,旨在开发用于审讯的程序和药物,以摧毁受试者的意志,迫使其认罪。该计划使用了各种手段,包括电休克疗法、催眠术、精神驱动、感官剥夺、言语虐待、性虐待和酷刑等。CIA还测试了强效精神药物,特别是LSD,对公民进行了未经同意的实验。MKUltra计划的规模巨大,其活动范围遍布80多个设施,包括大学、医院和监狱,甚至制药公司。许多参与者事后患有创伤后遗症,甚至死亡。该计划持续了32年,未受到任何干预、监督或惩罚,直到1975年教会委员会的调查才曝光。虽然大部分档案已被销毁,但幸存的文件和证词揭露了该计划的残酷和不人道。MKUltra计划与二战期间纳粹科学家的研究存在关联,许多人认为该计划是通过回形针行动延续纳粹研究的结果。该计划的参与者包括许多科学家和医生,他们对受试者进行了各种实验,其中一些实验导致受试者死亡或严重的心理创伤。MKUltra计划的受害者大多是美国公民,他们无法发声或反抗,包括士兵、囚犯、妓女、精神病人、吸毒者和学生等。CIA对受害者缺乏追踪和记录,许多受害者的身份至今不明。奥尔森的案例是MKUltra计划的典型代表,他参与了该计划,并因其工作而遭受了严重的心理创伤,最终从酒店跳楼身亡。虽然CIA声称MKUltra计划是最后一次在未经同意的情况下对人进行药物实验,但其残酷性和不人道性令人震惊,也引发了人们对政府权力和伦理的深思。
