Scott Noble's film of 2010 is about the many attempts--some fairly successful--to reduce human beings to mere "cogs in the machine"- to further increase the power of the elite.
This week's installment focuses on the CIA's Project MK-ULTRA and other deadly. secret experiments the U.S. government conducted on unwitting citizens. Experiments on children, pregnant women and their fetuses, prisoners, private psychiatric patients, and the public at large are described.

In an introduction, KD reflects on connections among the film, his life, and the 2018 massacre in his (and Mister Rogers) former neighborhood, Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh.
