- Boarding Schools.
- Eugenics, including forced sterilization.
- Nuclear weapons.
- Internment of Japanese.
- Hiring of Nazis after WWII, after inspiring them before WWII.
Reconstruction failure, Jim Crow institutionalized which was the ultimate inspiration for the Nazis to model their claimed superior race society after.
Ron Funches' routine was great. "You don't believe any conspiracy theories? Like, you just believe the government is batting 1.000 in terms of telling the truth?"
I've never heard about the St.Louis Poisoning before.. Surely it cant be yet another immoral, insane, evil program targeting black americans, right?

Fuck
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_LAC
sounds more like they released a lot of dust to check how far the wind carries it
what i don't get is why didn't they just use some non-toxic substance
-
because they werent testing on white people
-
cause St.Louis specifically was a weapons test for the viability of using Zinc cadmium sulfide as a weapon against moscow
Because those fucks were nuts to begin with.
As bad as people hate to admit it, this is pretty much the direct cause of anti vax people and shit like it.
The government pretty much created the problem itself by doing this stuff.
Wait until you hear about al Qaeda .... And depending on how far back you want to go... 1980?
This is why black people don't trust doctors.
antivax as a movement didnt come around until an asshole doctor lied about the safety of vaccines, to sell his own vaccine.. and took off like a rocket when that miserable Jenny McCunthy decided it had to be vaccines, and not genetics, that caused her not to give birth to the perfect blond haired blue eyed child she deserved.
Narcissism and failed education leads to fascism. Who would of thought. The system we have congratulates assholery and abuse of power, so I'd say trust issues are expected.
...Oh that's Melissa

That never happened
-
There's no proof that happened
-
It's more complicated than you're describing
-
Those were just some bad actors
-
Okay, but that was under the Other Party. My Party would never do that
-
(Repeat 1. Thru 4.)
-
Okay but we're reforming now. You should give us some credit!
-
It's all in the past! Why do you keep bringing up Old Shit?!

Whataboutism
why is my diary on the internet so publicly
This sounds like a modified Narcissist prayer.
Oh man, this brings back so many memories. Some of those aren’t even mine!
You're my favorite person on here.
Wanna know some state secrets?
Dude this isn't war thunder. Keep it in your pants for at least fifteen minutes until you log in over there
I dunno, how much you asking? And will it give me leverage over the leadership of a 3rd world country?
Fifty acres and a mule. And only if my house is considered a third world country.
Username checks out.
Mkultra is STILL treated like some nut job conspiracy theory.
I bring it up as example of how the government will do whatever to whoever and lie for decades, fuck the consequences.
People look at me like I'm crazy, and plenty have even straight up told me mk ulta isn't real, is just a conspiracy, just an excuse for hippies who did too many drugs, any number of "that didn't happen" excuses. Including "if it actually happened, we would know". To which I responded "THEY FUCKING ADMITTED IT" and that was the end of the conversation because I cursed and therefore lost an "argument" I didn't know I was in...
Ohio is crazy...
So like, I've got one of those burned out hippies in my town. Who got burned out by mk ultra. And knows it. He's a hoot and a half if you can keep him laughing. Shows up to all the concerts in town.
McUltra ™️
It was kind of an excuse for hippies who did too many drugs one if them was named Sydney gottlieb
I was happy to read that he felt like he failed in his work with the CIA.
It doesn't excuse anything but I do take great joy in him knowing that he was a failure at his lifes work in the end. For someone like him I bet that really messed with his head.
it never happened because it never happened to them. so clearly it never happened.

I read about MK Ultra, and that is some weird, fucked up shit. Also, most of the records were destroyed, so who knows what else they got up to? Fucking monsters.

So... a funny thing actually just happened...
CIA whistleblower testifies in Congress that the CIA basically raided the DNI (Tulsi Gabbard)'s office, to retrieve various files relating to JFK and MKUltra, that Trump had actually ordered be unsealed.
Anna Paulina Luna corroborates this.
Fox News (nation wide) runs a segment on this with Jesse Waters.
Then, a bunch of people change their tune.
Paulina Luna claims her comments were misconstrued.
Gabbard denies that this happened.
Jesse Waters removes this, his own segment, from his own social media.
Gabbard's PR person says basically 'no, a raid did not happen on that day, but about a year earlier, the CIA did confiscate some documents from the DNI, and they still have them.'
... at least that is my current attempt to comprehend this.
So uh... the DNI is supposed to be in charge of the CIA.
But, if you know anything about the CIA... they do whatever the fuck they want, to whoever they want.
There is only a single example of someone ostensibly directly in charge of the CIA that actually attempted to reign in the CIA and hold it accountable, make it stop doing things it wanted to do.
His brain got painted all over Dealey Plaza, in 1963.
EDIT:
Another thing that I am... confused, currently, by:
How is it possible that... there exist any MKUltra documents... that could be declassified?
In the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, in 1977, then CIA Director Stansfield Turner, explained that in 1973, the CIA Director at that time Dick Helms... ordered all the MKUltra documents to be destroyed.
But, approximately 20,000 documents were missed by this desctruction order, mostly financial and accounting documents, still remaining in basically a forgotten annex in DC.
To the best of my knowledge... those 20,000 documents are what comprise essentially the corpus of what has been discussed since 1977, they're what's been poured through to figure out who was getting paid to do what kind of work at which kind of site in whatever location, with what kinds of equipment, etc.
So... did... did we just miss some of those, somehow?
Or... did Turner lie to the Senate in '77... and... there were at that time, and still existing to the present currently... more documents than those which survived this supposed destruction order under Helms?
Like genuinely, I am misunderstanding something here, or is that not the implication of 'there do in fact exist any potentially unclassifiable MKUltra documents'?
