The 1950s was the era of the “American dream”. Hollywood movies reminded to American families that they were the standard of happiness and lived in a climate of confidence and optimism. In this fairytale environment, behind the American dream and Hollywood movies, on 13 April 1953, CIA began secret Mind Control programs that involved experiments on unsuspecting citizens.

Substances that were used in the experiments were aimed to promote irrational thinking and alter the structure of the personality, while there also was the use of methods that caused shock and confusion over extended periods of time, as well as methods and substances that caused physical disability, such as paralysis of the lower extremities, acute anemia and many other things. Why all this? It was the period of the Cold War.
