Project MK-NAOMI: The Secret Bioweapon Program in MK-Ultra's Shadow

In this chilling, cinematic episode of Cold Logic, host Silas Gray pulls back the curtain on Project MK-NAOMI, the classified biological and chemical weapons program born in the shadow of MK-Ultra. Designed as a covert sister project to mind-control experiments, MK-NAOMI developed and stockpiled viruses, toxins, and untraceable delivery systems intended to incapacitate or eliminate targets.Through declassified memos, a mosaic of archival documents from Fort Detrick, and the grim ethical context of the Cold War, this episode navigates the labyrinth of secret labs, the culture of compartmentalized secrecy, and the uneasy legacy of a program that blurred the line between national defense and moral compromise.From President Nixon’s public renunciation of offensive biological weapons, to the slow, fragmented unraveling of hidden caches and orphaned stockpiles, Silas Gray weaves a gripping story of power, paranoia, and the price of autonomy when biology becomes a weapon in the dark. This is more than history—it’s a cautionary tale about what happens when science is wielded in the dark#MKNAOMI #ColdLogicPodcast #SilasGray #BioweaponProject #MKUltra #SecretExperiments #FortDetrick #ColdWarSecrets #BiologicalWarfare #CovertOperations #HumanExperimentation #GovernmentSecrecy #ClassifiedPrograms #Bioethics #MindControlSisterProject #ConspiracyPodcast #HiddenAgenda #NationalSecurity #Declassified #DarkScience #HistoricalThrillerSources & Key ReferencesSummary Report of CIA Investigation of MKNAOMI (1993).
