LADYBIRD BOOK OF MIND CONTROL T-SHIRT

A parody book cover t-shirt available in black or white cotton.

Enter the strange world of secret experiments and subliminal suggestion with this Ladybird Book Of Mind Control T-Shirt, a darkly humorous nod to both the classic children's book series and the shadowy history of psychological manipulation.

At first glance, it looks like one of those innocent, nostalgic Ladybird books that taught generations of kids about science, history, and good manners. But look a little closer, and you’ll realize this one’s been penned by none other than Sidney Gottlieb—the infamous CIA chemist behind MKUltra, the covert program dedicated to mind control, LSD experiments, and psychological warfare.

During the Cold War, Gottlieb led a series of top-secret experiments aimed at rewiring human thought, using hypnosis, psychedelics, sensory deprivation, and even electroshock therapy in an effort to create brainwashed operatives, sleeper agents, and unwitting test subjects. From covert drug trials on unsuspecting civilians to attempts at breaking enemy minds, the MKUltra program blurred the lines between science fiction and terrifying reality.

Whether you’re fascinated by conspiracy theories, government secrets, or just love a good parody, this tee is a thought-provoking conversation starter.
