A Brief History of Operation Midnight Climax
Operation Midnight Climax was a covert CIA subproject of MK Ultra, running from the 1950s to the 1960s. Aimed at testing mind-control drugs like LSD, the CIA set up safe houses in San Francisco and New York, luring unsuspecting men with the promise of paid encounters with sex workers. Once inside, agents dosed the men with LSD and other substances, observing their reactions through two-way mirrors to study behavioral manipulation. Led by a CIA chemist, the operation epitomized ethical violations, blending espionage with psychological experimentation. It was uncovered during the 1975 Church Committee hearings, revealing the CIA’s reckless disregard for human rights. [Sources: CIA FOIA archives, The Guardian, Smithsonian Magazine]
