When My Wife Vanished Into MKULTRA: A Congressman's Secret Case

Fear and disbelief collide: a longtime MP’s wife was secretly dosed with LSD and subjected to brainwashing tapes at a Montreal institute tied to MKULTRA - and the revelation only surfaced when CIA files hit the New York Times in 1977. How did a man who never left a file unfinished sit on the truth for almost two years, and what followed when he finally decided to act?

In this episode, we tell the story of David Orlikow, his wife Velma’s treatment at the Allan Memorial Institute, and the moment the MKULTRA scandal became public; we follow the gap between discovery and action and ask what that delay reveals about the stakes they faced.
