## Resource

Goood Saturday morning! Here's what James Clary covers today: Peace, love, and freedom defined the 1960s. Behind the scenes, the decade was marked by violence, unrest, and secret government programs experimenting with mind-altering drugs and psychological control. In this episode, we explore how the counterculture collided with chaos, and how Charles Manson emerged from it. Was Charles Manson a subject of MKUltra?
