Wayward does not mention MK-Ultra. It does not mention Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) or Ritualistic Sexual Abuse (RSA). It does not mention the CIA, or Operation Paperclip, or the recruitment of war criminals. But its narrative structure is a near-perfect map of the stages of trauma-based mind control that survivors, whistleblowers, and investigative journalists have been documenting for decades.
