Baseless Conspiracies Ep. 163: False Memories, MKUltra & the Machinery of Disbelief
Description
Jon Herold and Zak Paine continue their deep examination of MKUltra, recovered memories, and the systems built to discredit survivors of extreme abuse. This episode centers on the creation and purpose of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, breaking down how psychology, academia, and media were used to cast doubt on childhood trauma testimony. Jon and Zak walk through documented cases, survivor accounts, and historical context to explain trauma bonding, memory suppression, and the role of institutions in protecting perpetrators. They connect these patterns to modern information warfare, showing how authority and consensus are used to shape belief and dismiss uncomfortable truths. Episode 163 provides critical context for understanding how reality can be engineered, and why certain stories are labeled “baseless” before they’re ever examined.
