and I actually think the c.ia would do something twisted like test biological and chemical agents on the populace.
And you would be right. Read 'Acid Dreams'. The first third of the book is on the CIA, with all information from declassified documents.
It's not conspiracy- it's history.
They tested out LSD and many other drugs on people without their knowledge. Major General Creasey even asked for permission to release clouds of it on the subway. The CIA looked into putting acid into water supplies to take out entire cities, but found that it wasn't practical. So putting things into water supplies is actually something they think about, at the very least.
They lured people to CIA-funded parties and spiked them with acid. They set up their own brothel with prostitutes spiking their customers. They had doctors test it on mental patients and prisoners. The military gave it to soldiers without their knowledge. The CIA would
lobotomise people after interrogation to wipe their memories. LSD was probably used to dose up leading figures in an attempt to publicly humiliate them- it was definitely listed as one of its uses. The CIA, in fact, would spike each other all the time, and they were all partying on it... until one of their own men who was given it unwittingly ended up committing suicide as a result. They lost interest in it when they discovered BZ, which was a far more effective drug for use as a torture/interrogation aid. This is all FACT, taken from their own records. I wonder what goes on nowadays... do you think they've grown morals over the years?
That's just what they did in their exploration of psychedelics. Childs play compared to what they did to countries such as Guatemala (supporting the faschist/racist coup that killed thousands upon thousands of Mayans), Chile (they put Pinochet the mass murdering dictator in power), training and arming the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan who have now turned on them... the list goes on. The CIA is a terrorist organisation. They would have you assassinated without blinking an eye if they deemed you a threat to whatever it is they're defending (not the American Way, that's for sure).
