Sidney Gottlieb was the CIA’s torturer, “poisoner in chief.” As head of the MK-ULTRA mind control project, he directed brutal experiments at secret prisons on three continents. Kinzer shares insights into Gottlieb's covert operations, the psychological experiments conducted under MKUltra, and the unexpected cultural impact of LSD. The discussion also touches on the ethical implications of these experiments and the historical context of the CIA's actions during the Cold War. This conversation delves into the dark history of the CIA's MKUltra program, Project Artichoke, operation midnight climax, and other sub projects created by the CIA. The conversation explored the controversial figures involved, the ethical implications of their actions, and the lasting impact of these experiments on society. The discussion highlights the recruitment of former Nazis doing Operation Paperclip, mind control, the tragic story of Frank Olson, and the broader implications of fear-driven narratives in intelligence operations. Ryan brings up some of the alternate theories to how and why the MKULTRA program was created and used. Ryan considers that the programs never truly went away, yet evolved and became more sophisticated in todays world. He also thinks that the ability to create a Manchurian Candidate through mind control was achieved and is being implemented currently. They bring up the book Chaos that was written by Tom O’Neill and some of the concepts of the Charles Manson Murders and other components of the MKULTRA program. Ryan brought up the significance of Louis Jolyon West in the MKULTRA project. “Limited hangout” is a concept that should always be considered when delving into these shadow sides of history and the CIA.

He worked closely with Robert Becker, a pioneer in the field of healing and electromagnetic energy. Marino's research focused on the biological effects of low-level electromagnetic energy. Industry pressures often compromise scientific integrity and research funding. Marino's experiences led him to pursue a law degree to better understand the legal landscape. The concept of 'truth' in science is often influenced by economic interests. Regulatory agencies have shifted focus from public health to industry benefits. Marino believes that the public has little input in safety standards today. The relationship between science and industry has become increasingly problematic. Marino's work aims to keep alive the ideas of Robert Becker despite industry opposition. Biochemical inflammation must exist because it happens. Human nature will not allow us to lift ourselves by our bootstraps. The government prioritizes funding for curing cancer over understanding its causes. Research into environmental contaminants is often stifled. The public must demand investment in understanding causes, not just mechanisms. The author is keen to finish their book before it's too late. Electromagnetic fields have biological effects that are often overlooked. Cross-examination is a powerful tool for finding the truth in science. Hypersensitivity syndrome is a real phenomenon that requires more research. The laws of biology are complex and not fully understood. “Going Somewhere is a dynamic autobiographical narrative about Andrew Marino’s career in science. With a depth and drama that arise from personal involvement, the book explores an exceptionally wide range of science-related matters: the relation between electrical energy and life; the influence of corporate and military power on science; the role of self-interest on the part of federal and state agencies that deal with human health, especially the NIH and the FDA; the importance of cross-examining scientific experts in legal hearings; the erroneous view of nature that results when the perspective of physics is extended into biology; the pivotal role of deterministic chaos theory in at least some cognitive processes. These matters arise in the long course of the author’s scientific and l
