Even though most of the project's files were destroyed, the remaining files were declassified in 2001. The public began to learn more about the governments experiments with mind control, and further add belief to many conspiracy theories.
This infamous project revealed how the government was conducting experiments using drugs and hypnosis on citizens without their consent. The projects overall focus revealed to have been on programming behavior and control of the mind.

MK-Ultra has a very dark history that many people have studied and become intrigued by. With the public learning about this secret government project, conspiracy theorists began to acknowledge certain aspects of conspiracy within this project.
JFK, RFK, and any other suspected assassination plot would be dissected again, except this time, the conspiracy would have evidence to support the idea of government involvement.
A "Manchurian Candidate" would become the focus of these theories and lead theorist to believe that the assassins were programmed to commit the crimes.
Testimony about the MK-Ultra experiments
Project MK-Ultra has been looked at by many once the remaining documents were declassified. But the paper trail that this project left behind seems to only bring up more questions.
Conspiracy theories look for evidence, to arrive to their understanding of truth. The further we explore evidence, the more evident it becomes that interpretation only leads to conspiracy when there's no conclusive answer.
MK-Ultra gave conspiracy theories an idea to work from, but the knowledge of this project has only led to more conspiracies than it has answers.
