#4. – 1967 – The Day Israel Attacked America: The USS Liberty

The USS Liberty attack occurred on June 8, 1967, during the Six-Day War, when Israeli Air Force jets and Israeli Navy motor torpedo boats assaulted the U.S. Navy technical research ship USS Liberty in international waters off the Sinai Peninsula. The ship, a signals intelligence vessel clearly marked with American flags and hull numbers, came under intense strafing runs with cannons and napalm from fighter aircraft, followed by torpedo boat attacks that included machine-gun fire and a direct torpedo hit, creating a massive 39-foot hole and killing 25 crew members instantly in the intelligence spaces. In total, the nearly two-hour assault claimed 34 American lives (including Navy personnel, Marines, and one NSA civilian) and wounded 171 others, severely damaging the vessel and nearly sinking it. Israel quickly apologized, while paying compensation; however, the event remains highly controversial, with many survivors saying it was deliberate.

#5. – 1950 – Project MK Ultra: CIA Mind Control Experiments

In the 1950s and ’60s, whispers of government “mind control” programs sounded like sci-fi paranoia. But declassified documents revealed the CIA’s Project MKUltra, a real operation from 1953 to 1973 aimed at developing techniques for interrogation and psychological manipulation. The agency dosed unwitting U.S. and Canadian citizens with LSD and other drugs, subjected them to hypnosis, sensory deprivation, and torture, often through universities, hospitals, and prisons. CIA Director Richard Helms ordered most files destroyed in 1973, but surviving records emerged during the 1975 Church Committee investigations, confirming illegal human experimentation.

#6. -1962 – Psyops Are Real, and So is Spying on Americans

The idea that the U.S. government would stage attacks on its own citizens to justify war seemed outlandish—until Operation Northwoods was declassified. In 1962, the Joint Chiefs of Staff proposed fake terrorist acts, including bombings, hijackings, and sinking boats of Cuban refugees, to blame on Cuba and provoke an invasion. The plan was presented to Defense Secretary Robert McNamara but rejected by President Kennedy. It was revealed in 1997 through Freedom of Information Act requests.

Spying on martin Luther King

Suspicions that the FBI was spying on and sabotaging civil rights groups in the 1960s were confirmed as fact. From 1956 to 1971, the FBI’s Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO) targeted organizations like the Black Panthers, anti-war protesters, and Martin Luther King Jr., using infiltration, disinformation, and illegal tactics to “neutralize” them. The program was exposed in 1971 when activists broke into an FBI office and leaked documents, leading to Senate hearings that revealed widespread violations of civil liberties.

#7. 1940 – Operation Paperclip, Not Rockets (UFOs) Because They Lied To You

Post-WWII conspiracy theories claimed the U.S. was harboring Nazis. This was true via Operation Paperclip, where the U.S. recruited over 1,500 German scientists, engineers, and technicians—including Wernher von Braun—for the space and military programs, despite their Nazi affiliations. Backgrounds were whitewashed to bypass President Truman’s orders excluding ardent Nazis. Declassified records in the 1980s confirmed the program, which helped develop U.S. rocketry but overlooked war crimes.

#8. – 1970 – Operation Mocking Bird (Fake News)

Theories of CIA control over the press were dismissed until the 1970s. Operation Mockingbird, started in the late 1940s, involved the CIA recruiting journalists and influencing major outlets like The New York Times and CBS to spread propaganda against communism. It operated for 25 years, costing taxpayers $265 million annually. The Church Committee exposed it in 1975, revealing how the agency “owned” media to shape narratives.

#9. – 1950 Big Tobacco’s Cover-Up of Smoking Risks (Smoking)

For years, people suspected tobacco companies knew cigarettes were deadly but lied about it. Internal documents from the 1950s showed firms like Philip Morris were aware smoking caused cancer and nicotine was addictive, yet they funded disinformation campaigns and manipulated products. This was proven in the 1990s through leaked memos and a 1994 congressional hearing where CEOs falsely denied addiction under oath, leading to massive lawsuits.

#10. – 2013:NSA Mass Surveillance Programs on Americans (Spying)

NSA Mass Surveillance Programs. Pre-Snowden, claims of widespread government spying on citizens were called paranoid. But in 2013, Edward Snowden leaked documents exposing NSA programs like PRISM, which collected phone records, emails, and internet data from millions without warrants, in partnership with tech companies. Courts later ruled parts illegal, and officials like James Clapper had previously denied the extent under oath.

#11. 1960: Sugar Is Healthy (It Kills)

The cover-up of sugar’s deadly health impacts, orchestrated by the sugar industry for decades, has contributed to millions of preventable deaths from conditions like heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and related complications. In the 1960s, the Sugar Research Foundation (now the Sugar Association) funded Harvard scientists to produce a influential review published in the New England Journal of Medicine, which shifted blame for coronary heart disease primarily onto saturated fats and cholesterol while downplaying emerging evidence linking sucrose consumption to cardiovascular risks—all without disclosing the industry’s financial involvement. Later revelations from internal documents show the industry buried or terminated research, such as Project 259 in the late 1960s and early 1970s, that suggested sugar promoted high triglycerides, heart disease mechanisms, and even potential bladder cancer links in animal studies, choosing instead to halt funding and suppress unfavorable findings rather than publish them. By mirroring tactics used by the tobacco industry—manipulating science, influencing policy, and casting doubt on inconvenient evidence—this deliberate obfuscation delayed public awareness and regulatory action on added sugars, allowing excessive consumption to fuel a global epidemic of chronic diseases that continues to kill far more people annually than many recognized threats.

#12 – 2019: – Covid-19

Covid-19 Was made in a Chinese lab, with gain of function, funded by American tax payers, and lied too and said it was not.

Collateral Murder Video (April 2010) — WikiLeaks released edited footage of a 2007 U.S. Apache helicopter attack in Baghdad that killed Iraqi civilians, including two Reuters journalists and several others, sparking worldwide outrage over rules of engagement and civilian casualties.

WikiLeaks is a non-profit media organization and document archive founded in 2006 by Australian activist Julian Assange, inspired by cases like the Pentagon Papers, with the mission of promoting transparency by publishing censored or restricted materials exposing war crimes, corruption, spying, and government misconduct.

It gained global prominence through major leaks, including 2010 releases of U.S. military reports on Afghanistan and Iraq (provided by Chelsea Manning), hundreds of thousands of diplomatic cables, and later publications on topics ranging from corporate malfeasance to political scandals. While supporters hail it as a vital tool for accountability and press freedom, critics—including governments—have condemned it for potentially endangering lives, compromising national security, and recklessly handling sensitive information. After years of legal battles, Assange’s imprisonment, and his 2024 release via a U.S. plea deal, WikiLeaks has published little new original content since around 2019–2021, with much of its archive becoming less accessible, though its historical impact on journalism, whistleblowing, and debates over secrecy remains profound.

The video:

Many civilians were killed, and Saeed Bakran, a dedicated reporter and journalist known for his coverage of regional conflicts and political developments in the Middle East. Tragically, he lost his life while on assignment in Iraq, where the dangers faced by journalists—ranging from crossfire in ongoing hostilities to targeted attacks amid instability—claimed his life in a violent incident that highlighted the extreme risks reporters endure in war zones. His death underscored the perils of frontline reporting in conflict areas like Iraq, leaving behind a legacy of brave journalism that sought to bring truth amid chaos, even at the ultimate personal cost.

The Collateral Murder video, released by WikiLeaks on April 5, 2010, consists of classified U.S. military footage from July 12, 2007, captured by the gun-sight cameras of two AH-64 Apache helicopters operating in the New Baghdad district during the Iraqi insurgency. The edited 17-minute version (along with a longer 39-minute cut) depicts the helicopters firing 30mm cannon rounds at a group of men on the street, whom the crew initially mistook for armed insurgents—though some carried cameras rather than weapons, including Reuters photographer Namir Noor-Eldeen (22) and his driver Saeed Chmagh (40).

The attack killed around a dozen people in the initial strike, with the crew heard laughing and making casual remarks over the radio.

A follow-up van attempting to rescue the wounded, including a gravely injured Chmagh, was also targeted, resulting in additional deaths and serious injuries to two young children inside the vehicle. The footage, leaked by U.S. Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning, highlighted the chaotic decision-making in combat and the human cost of misidentification.

The release sparked intense global outrage, renewed scrutiny of U.S. military rules of engagement in Iraq, and debates over civilian casualties in urban warfare.

Critics, including WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, argued the video showed indiscriminate and potentially unlawful killings, with the crew’s actions appearing to exceed permissible force—particularly the targeting of rescuers and the wounded—prompting calls for revised protocols to better protect non-combatants.

The U.S. military maintained the incident complied with existing rules of engagement after investigations, citing perceived threats like possible weapons (an AK-47 and rocket-propelled grenades reportedly found at the scene), though no charges were filed against the crew. The video amplified anti-war sentiment, exposed the dehumanizing aspects of remote warfare, and became a landmark in discussions of transparency, accountability, and the ethics of classified military operations.
