The CIA ‘Family Jewels’
The CIA released a report known as “The Family Jewels,” documenting illegal activities conducted by the agency, as reported by staff members. The report includes the infamous MKULTRA program, in which citizens were unknowingly given strong doses of mind altering drugs such as LSD.
I’m a bit curious to what extent they were involved with the commercial drug industry. On page 416 of the report, they admit their “relations with commercial drug manufacturers.”
It was suggested that the program was “defensive, in the sense that we would recognize certain behavior if similar materials were used against Americans”. Here, we see again, the rights of American citizens being blatantly overridden by the state, supposedly for the “common good.” And the MKULTRA program is only a small part of the 702 page report.
