As far as conspiracies go, we've delved into some of the most renowned across the past few weeks. One that is pretty reserved for those who have been a part of 'stan culture' within the music industry however, is that of Project MKUltra. That's what we'll be looking at this week, with plenty of videos of those celebrities conspiracists say are under mind control to entertain and creep us all out along the way!
A bit of background...
Unlike many conspiracy theories, this one is based on some truths. Project MKUltra is a very real thing, also known as the "CIA mind control program" which was tested on human subjects. Founded on the order of CIA director Allen Welsh Dulles on April 13, 1953, Project MKUltra was headed up by Sidney Gottlieb. Its primary aim was to develop drugs that would enable mind control, for use against the Soviet bloc after reports of alleged Chinese, North Korean and Soviety mind control techniques on American prisoners of war during the Korean War.
A "truth drug" was the primary goal of the project, which would be used to interrogate suspected Soviet spies during the Cold War. There would then be other avenues to explore, such as controlling a person's mind completely and taking over their lives.
"Subproject 54" was built under Project MKUltra, and was supposed to use sub-aural frequency blasts to erase memory. History records say that the program was never carried out, but whether that's the truth is anybody's guess...
The project was first brought to public attention in 1975 by the Church Committee of the United States Congress and Gerald Ford's United States President's Commission on CIA activities within the United States. However, investigative efforts were futile, as CIA Director Richard Helms had ordered the destruction of all MKUltra files to be destroyed in 1973.
Some information did survive however, which has now been declassified. Most notably, a letter was included to an unidentified doctor, discussing work on six dogs that had been turned into remote control canines via the use of brain implants.
So where's the conspiracy?
We've looked through the truths behind Project MKUltra, but what about the theories conspiracists have come up with? Well, they claim that the mind-altering drugs and techniques built by the CIA are now being used to turn some of the world's most famous faces into puppets.
Exactly which group of people is behind the brainwashing of celebrities isn't firmly established in many of the theories we've read, but many put it down to the actions of the Illuminati. What they offer up as proof however is a bunch of videos of celebrities having 'glitches'. They're some of the creepiest videos we've ever seen. Check them out below:

NOTE: Conspiracies are theories often created with a lack of evidence. Each of our conspiracy reports are based on online research, but should never be taken as 100% fact.
