The Navy Fogged 800,000 People With Live Bacteria — and Then a Man Died
For a week in 1950 the U.S. Navy sprayed a cloud of live Serratia marcescens bacteria over San Francisco to study how a biological attack would spread. Nearly the whole city inhaled it. Soon after, eleven patients fell ill and one, Edward Nevin, died — and the public learned about it 26 years later.
Eight Citizens Broke Into the FBI, Stole COINTELPRO, and Stayed Hidden for 43 Years

Project 226: How Big Sugar Bought Harvard and Pinned 50 Years of Heart Disease on Fat

The Plutonium Files: When America's Doctors Used Their Own Citizens as Lab Rats
Manhattan Project physicians injected at least 18 unwitting hospital patients with plutonium to chart how the new bomb metal moved through the human body. It was one node in a sprawling network of Cold War radiation experiments that a presidential committee finally dragged into daylight in 1995.

Project SHAD: The Navy Sprayed Its Own Sailors With Live Nerve Agent — Then Denied It for 40 Years

Project Sunshine: The Government Quietly Collected Dead Babies Worldwide to Measure the Fallout in Their Bones
To track Strontium-90 from nuclear tests, the Atomic Energy Commission secretly gathered thousands of human bodies, focusing on infants, often without telling the parents. A top official asked for help with 'body snatching.'
The Sea Battle That Never Happened: How a Phantom Attack Sent 58,000 Americans to Die
The August 4, 1964 attack on U.S. destroyers that justified open war in Vietnam did not happen. The NSA's own declassified historian proved it — and showed analysts buried 90% of the evidence to make the story fit.
The Pentagon Wrote a Plan to Murder Americans and Blame Cuba. Then Filed It.
In 1962 the Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off on a formal proposal to stage terror attacks against U.S. citizens and soldiers as a pretext for invading Cuba. The document is real, declassified, and sitting in the National Archives.
Operation LAC: The Army Sprayed a Glowing Powder Over American Cities and Called It Weather
For more than a decade the U.S. Army Chemical Corps dispersed clouds of fluorescent zinc cadmium sulfide over St. Louis, Minneapolis, and dozens of other places — from planes, rooftops, and station wagons — without telling the people underneath. Decades later, Congress finally forced an investigation.
