The absolutely psychotic nature of what the American government was up to in the 1950s and 1960s was only touched on in the Pentagon Papers. Daniel Ellsberg certainly deserves a historical memorial for what he exposed to the public about the idiocies of the Vietnam War, but it was just the tip of the iceberg. For example, experimental biological warfare was a feature of the US attack on North Korea, and that program was originated in 1942 (*Merck Report) and expanded via information from Shiro Ishii (captured war criminal who turned over records of Unit 731, the Japanese biological warfare unit active in China, to US spies and hence to Fort Detrick.) The US biological warfare program was actively connected to the CIA's MK-ULTRA brainwashing/torture program which operated domestically during the 1960s, involving use of LSD and similar drugs to manipulate people (likely involved in the Charles Manson debacle). Biological warfare and chemical warfare testing exploded during the 1960s under JFK and Johnson, and was only (publicly) shut down by Nixon after the disastrous 5,000 sheep kill outside Dugway Utah via a VX gas oopsie.
They were all insane back then, and they still are trying to hide a lot of what they got up to back then from public scrutiny. Of course it didn't end there, the 9/18 and 10/8 anthrax attacks walked out of US government programs aimed at replicating the Soviet biowarfare programs of the 1970s/1980s, and out of those attacks came Project Bioshield... I think that gave Anthony Fauci's career a boost, and led to financing of gain of function research in North Carolina and Wuhan, China, and of course chimeric virus recombination was a long-standing dream of the biological warfare establishment, though the methods they were trying to use to accomplish that in the 1980s were pretty sloppy compared to today's CRISPR approaches.
Everything is connected, at some level. Keep leaking their dirty secrets, I'm going to go toast Ellsberg now.
