Alex Jones guest host Chase Geiser claimed the latest terror attacks allegedly done by two former US military men were caused by the CIA's long defunct MKUltra program. MK-ULTRA was a dark period in the history of the CIA, when they conducted secret experiments on Americans using LSD and other drugs to perfect mind control to be used as a weapon against our enemies in the 1950s and 60s. In Geiser's short insane rant, he claimed the government used MK-ULTRA on the two former US military personnel to commit terrorists attacks on New Orleans and Las Vegas -- and that's not all, folks.

He’s a “small forward” only in title, towering over most wings with a 6-foot-10 stature that doubles the potency of his 3-pointer.

Denver’s defense achieved a significant milestone, and defensive coordinator Vance Joseph wanted to make sure his players understood it.
