INTELLIGENCE & BLACK OPS

A private Israeli company built spyware that can silently take over any smartphone on earth — read every message, listen to every call, activate the camera. Then it sold this capability to governments including Saudi Arabia, which used it to track journalist Jamal Khashoggi's associates before he was murdered and dismembered in a Saudi consulate.

In 1979, the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded that President Kennedy was 'probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy.' That is the official finding of the United States Congress. The Warren Commission's 'lone gunman' conclusion is the minority position among official investigations. Thousands of documents remain classified in 2024 — 61 years after the murder.

In 2013, Edward Snowden proved what civil liberties advocates had been saying for years: the NSA was collecting the phone records of virtually every American, had direct access to the servers of Google, Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft, and could search anyone's emails and browsing history in real time. The government's response was not to deny it — it was to charge Snowden with espionage.

The CIA waterboarded one detainee 183 times in a single month. It chained prisoners in stress positions until they died. It 'rectally fed' detainees. Then it destroyed 92 videotapes of the interrogations. The Senate investigated and produced a 6,700-page report. Only the 525-page summary has been released. The full report remains classified.

The CIA ran a program to recruit journalists, editors, and media executives as assets and place stories in American and foreign press. The Church Committee confirmed it. The question isn't whether it happened — it's whether it stopped.

The CIA dosed unwitting Americans with LSD, ran brothels to test drugs on unsuspecting clients, funded experiments that destroyed patients' minds at a Canadian university, and when it was about to be exposed, the director ordered all files destroyed. 20,000 documents survived by accident. What was in the ones that didn't?

NATO ran secret 'stay-behind' armies across Western Europe for decades — armed networks designed to resist Soviet occupation. In Italy, those networks were linked to terrorist bombings that killed hundreds of civilians. This is not disputed. It's just forgotten.
