S2E3 Mind Control, RFK, and MKUltra with Comedian Ben Morrison!

The Unofficial Official Story Podcast

In this month’s episode, we dive into the fascinating world of modern mind control theories, tracing their origins from the infamous MKUltra experiments to their potential reincarnations in today's digital age. The discussion raises thought-provoking questions about the role of digital platforms like TikTok and social media in shaping our perceptions and behaviors, speculating whether these trends are mere entertainment or sophisticated tools of psychological influence. The episode also delves into the mysteries of hypnosis, false memories, and historical conspiracy theories, including the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy and the curious connections to mind-control narratives. With a blend of humor and skepticism, Dwayne, Koji, and Cat, with guest comedian Ben Morrison, explore the intersections of consumerism, environmentalism, and socio-political landscapes, offering a fresh perspective on the hidden strings of social media and cultural phenomena.
