The project, which would make Chase’s first series since his groundbreaking HBO mob drama, will be based on the non-fiction book Project Mind Control: Sidney Gottlieb, the CIA, and the Tragedy of MKUltra by author John Lisle. Chase has optioned the book and will write the adaptation which falls under the first-look deal his company Riverain Pictures has at HBO.

Project: MKUltra is a dramatic thriller centered on the infamous chemist and spymaster Sidney Gottlieb, often known as The Black Sorcerer, who headed the CIA’s MKUltra Psychedelic program which conducted dangerous and deadly mind control experiments on willing – and unwilling – subjects during the height of the Cold War. Gottlieb is also known as the unwitting godfather of the entire LSD counterculture.

Clearly done to paint a narrative that the CIA wants out there. So now when you search this, this prestige TV series will come up and finding actual results beyond wikipedia on it will be much more difficult. It'll also create a cultural consensus on what it was and I'd bet what they portray it as is not the sexual abuse of children, not the blackmail of Senators via that, not the trying to mind-wipe those same kids and program them into assassins, not something involving people who were later elevated to presidency of the American Psychological Association, not all the other wild and horrible shit but just wacky hijinks with LSD and a few colorful charlatan types and maybe a bit of the Manson connection, that type of thing.
