Operation Midnight Climax

In the shadowy underbelly of the Cold War, the CIA cooked up one of the most jaw-dropping, morally bankrupt experiments in American history—Operation Midnight Climax. Picture this: secret safehouses rigged with two-way mirrors, government-employed prostitutes luring in unsuspecting “guests,” and LSD slipped into drinks while agents sat back, took notes, and occasionally… joined in. Yeah, this was real, taxpayer-funded, and every bit as insane as it sounds. This week, we’re taking you inside the twisted world of George Hunter White and his cast of spooks, crooks, and acid-dropping guinea pigs. From mind control fantasies to public scandal, we’ll cover how it all started, the wildest stories from the operation, and the shocking fallout that still shapes conspiracy theories today.
