Charlie Wilson’s War was very interesting. The idea that our government runs covert ops in such a way that even those voting on the increased budget have no idea what they are voting for is worrisome. Pumping all this money into wars that the public has no idea that we are involved in until suddenly it is clear. There is an issue with the fact that it was somehow justified as both a war of helping someone that was only being attacked because of the United States, and that we only helped because…

Area 51 is, by far, one of the most secretive places in the world, but what could it be that the government wants to hide?

The United States/CIA has overthrown many governments without thinking about the people in those countries, but instead thinking about their own interests. The CIA overthrew Mohammad Mossadegh in an attempt to halt the spread of communism throughout the world and as a way to keep…

used by the CIA after September 11, 2001 have been the subject of intense scrutiny.
