CIA agents are quietly exhaling as President Donald Trump has so far remained silent on ordering the full release of all remaining MKUltra files during his latest term.
The notorious mind-control program, partially exposed through declassified documents decades ago, still has hundreds of thousands of pages hidden from public view. With Trump’s recent moves to declassify records tied to JFK, MLK, and 9/11, the agency has been on edge, bracing for the possibility that the MKUltra vault could be next.
The program’s history includes its rumored involvement in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Lee Harvey Oswald, the man pinned for the killing, showed traits that former CIA analyst Robert Grayson argues align with MKUltra’s psychological tampering.
“Oswald’s instability, his abrupt shifts in loyalty — those fit the profile of someone messed with by the program,” Grayson said.
Already-public files reveal the CIA’s use of LSD and hypnosis in the 1950s and 60s, fueling speculation about Oswald’s actions. Jack Ruby, who gunned down Oswald shortly after, adds to the mystery, with conspiracy theories suggesting he too might have been shaped by the agency’s experiments.
Beyond Dallas, MKUltra’s influence is said to have seeped into the cultural upheaval of the 1960s. The hippie generation, defined by its embrace of psychedelics and rebellion, emerged alongside the program’s drug trials.
Charles Manson, the cult figure behind the brutal Tate-LaBianca murders, could have been one of its subjects.
“Manson’s control over people, his obsession with disorder — it lines up with what we know about MKUltra’s fallout,” said historian Linda Carver, referencing declassified accounts of civilians dosed without consent. The CIA brushes off such links as fiction, but the unreleased files might prove otherwise.
Trump’s silence has agents cautiously optimistic.
“We’re not out of the woods, but it’s better than a full-on document dump,” an anonymous CIA source confided.
Pressure has mounted for transparency as Americans demand answers about government overreach. “If those files drop, good luck explaining recent tragic events that have cost children as young as three their lives,” the source added.
For now, the MKUltra archives sit untouched.
