U.S. Government Conspiracies: Operation Mockingbird, Project Ajax and More

Rebecca Said
Here is a listing of proven U.S. government conspiracy projects. Note that I do not call them theories, because they are based on fact and undisputed by the CIA. I cannot help but wonder how many Americans know of real conspiracies our government has been involved in? These include MKULTRA, Operation Mockingbird, Project SHAD, Project Ajax, Operation PBSUCCESS and the Tuskegee Syphilis Study.

The following information was found at www.wikipedia.org:

United States Government Conspiracy Projects #1- MKULTRA is a CIA experiment where drugs were given to Americans without their knowledge or consent. This involved giving LSD, marijuana, barbiturates, heroine, mescaline, alcohol and more to unsuspecting people. This project was started in 1950 to study mind control and behavior modification. In 1973 Richard Helms head of the CIA deliberately destroyed all the records. MKULTRA Source

United States Government Conspiracy Projects #2- Operation Mockingbird was a CIA project created to control the domestic and foreign media. They bribed well-known writers and journalists to write CIA slanted propaganda. The goal was primarily to bribe writers to write about the dangers of communism and suppress any left wing political writing. In 1976 George H.W. Bush the new director of the CIA announced that this activity will stop but they would welcome the voluntary unpaid cooperation of writers. Operation Mockingbird Source

United States Government Conspiracy Projects #3- Project SHAD was created by the United States Department of Defense in 1962. They intentionally exposed our military personnel with biological and chemical agents on 46 different occasions. This was done without the military personnel knowledge or consent. They wanted to experiment on how soldiers can be exposed to dangerous chemicals and continue to fight. This testing was conducted from 1962-1973. The Department of Defense refused to admit SHAD existed until 1998. Project SHAD Source

United States Government Conspiracy Projects #4- Project Ajax was a successful CIA operation to overthrow the government of Iran in 1953. It was executed by British and American intelligence to gain greater control over oil in that region. The American public may not have ever been aware of this if it were not for a leaked CIA document. A writer at the New York Times gained access to this document and wrote about it in 2000.

United States Government Conspiracy Projects #5- Operation PBSUCCESS was a CIA operation to overthrow the President of Guatemala in 1954. The CIA was concerned because this country had new policies that seem to favor communism. Before invasion the CIA orchestrated a widespread radio propaganda campaign designed to create dissatisfaction. Operation PBSUCCESS Source

United States Government Conspiracy Projects #6- Tuskegee Syphilis Study ongoing from 1932 to 1972 knowingly killed hundreds of low-income African American men. U.S. Public Health Service wanted to experiment with the effects of untreated syphilis. Low-income African American men were lured into study with promise of free health care. Instead they were intentionally lied to and given placebo treatments. Even when they could have easily been saved by penicillin they were left to die for the benefit of the syphilis study program.

As a credit to the United States Government, at least we still have enough freedom of speech that these things can be written about.

    It is just as the Bible says, "The WHOLE WORLD is lying in the power of the wicked one."

    It is not just the United States but all governments are corrupt. Only God will bring about permanent change on this Earth. For now, he is allowing mankind to rule themselves. And we are doing a bangup job arent we?

    Im not saying that these conspiracies are true or not or that i belive them or not. The only thing i know is that there is something going on with the government and the world. I am the type of person that leaves everything up to a possibility. In this world today with so much information on the internet it is hard to figure out what is real and what isnt. I just keep getting this feeling that my life was planned from the beginning and that the government is lieing about something. What it is i do not know. Maybe someday all of this will be revealed or maybe not.

    Ah, spoken like a true IGNORANT REDNECK. Have fun at your next KKK rally.

    You should also look into the CIA's Project 'Artichoke'. These were attempts to develop new interrogation techniques, some of which took place on a newly acquired piece of land called 'Guantonimo Bay'.!!!

    Well written. I did not know these things. I was surprised that there were no comments on this particular article. I believe you should spread the word and link others to this article. Very nice.
