He described the exact plot of the pilot episode of The Lone Gunman in that YouTube link., The Lone Gunman was like the Mr. Robot of March, 2001.

I highly recommend the 2017 Netflix documentary "Wormwood", which is a 6 hour interview with Eric Olson, the son of Frank Olson. In 1953 Frank Olson jumped out of a hospital window after he got secretly dosed with LSD by his CIA/DOD co-workers. That's how far back CIA and LSD and MKULTRA goes. We still don't know what really happened or why. It's classified top secret. But Frank Olson's son describes a pretty crazy scene in 1953, with spooks working for DoD secret chemical and biowar programs involving LSD for research on involuntary American test subjects. This was still the 50's era where the Pentagon tested A-bombs in the desert and invited crowds to watch from a distance, in order to test radiation exposure on live people. Then the CIA guys started tasting their own supply and partying with LSD. Then they gave LSD to Frank Olson in a drink. There is still a massive classified history of CIA using LSD as a bioweapon. I hope we get to see it someday.

You might be right, because the real reasons for every bone headed CIA catastrophe is always mundane and boring in the banality of evil sense.

But by the time of CIA's LSD brothel, the CIA had already been experimenting with LSD for over ten years. Timothy Leary and the Acid hippies had already been all over the counter culture for 5 years. Everybody knew what LSD did by then. They already knew what would happen. That's why I believe the brothel wasn't an experiment, it was an operation with a defined objective.

The craziest part about the CIA's LSD brothel is that the #2 man at the Bureau of Narcotics (which became the DEA in 1975) retired and then ran CIA's brothel for several years. Let that sink in. The number #2 law enforcement leader in the country switched jobs to secretly dose American citizens with an illegal drug. Laws for thee but not for me indeed.

Second, the most eye popping factoid is that CIA installed two-way mirrors and wired their brothel to record the John's with the prostitutes. I often wondered where did Jeffrey Epstein get the idea to secretly record his elite pals frolicking with his harem of underage girls in order to blackmail them. Epstein wasn't even the first guy to come up with this idea. CIA did.

I have done LSD several times decades ago. It is the most powerful drug I have ever taken. Nobody should ever be fed LSD without knowing it. I can see how a surprise trip could flip a switch in your brain and drive you insane, if you don't know what is happening to you.

I wish most of all that CIA would scrounge up their "lost" MKULTRA files and declassify them and at least tell us WHY they ran this brothel and secretly drugged Americans with LSD. If we knew their specific reasons why, at least we could then forgive and forget. As long as we don't know, we can only assume the craziest conspiracy theories about treason and political control are true.
