KENNEDY ADMINISTRATION.

DURING THE VIETNAM WAR THE CIA IMPLEMENTED

OPERATION PHOENIX IN WHICH UP TO 30,000 PEOPLE

WERE "NEUTRALIZED" AKA EXECUTED FOR SUSPICIONS

OF ASSOCIATION WITH THE ENEMY.

THE CIA ACTUALLY HAD A TORTURE MANUAL THAT

STRESSED THE IMPORTANT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL

TORTURE. IT EXPLAINED THAT THE FEAR OF PAIN

IS USUALLY WORSE THAN THE PAIN ITSELF BECAUSE

WAS DISMISSED DUE TO "STATE SECRETS".

RECENTLY,THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS

CONDEMNED THE ACTIONS OF THE CIA AND

RULED IN HIS FAVOUR.

THE A-12 BLACKBIRD WAS AN AIRCRAFT BUILT FOR

ONE PURPOSE – SPY ON THE SOVIETS. THE ONLY

PROBLEM WAS THAT THE SOVIET UNION WAS THE

ONLY PLACE ON EARTH WITH TITANIUM PURE ENOUGH

TO BUILD THE AIRCRAFT. SO BASICALLY THE CIA

HAD TO SPY ON THE SOVIET UNION IN ORDER TO

SPY ON THE SOVIET UNION.

IN 1954 THE CIA TOPPLED THE FIRST DEMOCRATICALLY
