I talked about it in the 90s and the only tin foil hat accusations were against those who used it as a jumping board for fantasizing about conspiracy theories. It’s the same with any juicy fact involving the government - there’s a core of truth which is widely accepted, surrounded by a halo of speculation generated by people who want to believe they are party to secret knowledge.

MKUltra? > there’s a core of truth which is widely accepted, surrounded by a halo of speculation generated by people who want to believe they are party to secret knowledge. Would you say that statement characterizes the situation around MKUltra?
