'What was Sidney Gottlieb doing for 2 years in Germany?’: MKUltra witness urges House to pursue CIA
Did the CIA use USAID as a cover for covert operations? During a recent congressional hearing, an MKUltra witness urged lawmakers to investigate former CIA chemist Sidney Gottlieb, questioning his activities in Germany and raising allegations about possible intelligence operations linked to Cold War-era programs. The claims remain allegations and are not established as fact. The hearing revisits MKUltra, CIA covert programs, Sidney Gottlieb, declassified intelligence records, alleged assassination plots, and demands for greater transparency into decades-old government operations.
