603: The Real CIA Vol. 1 | 693 Pages of Forbidden Government Secrets

24 Jul 2025

Description

On June 25th, 2007, the CIA quietly released 693 pages of their most classified secrets. No announcement, no fanfare—just a document dump that revealed decades of illegal operations against American citizens. The Family Jewels documents exposed systematic violations that went far beyond what anyone imagined. Mind control experiments using LSD on unwitting subjects. Surveillance operations targeting 300,000 Americans who committed no crimes. Media manipulation programs that turned journalists into intelligence assets. Assassination plots approved at the highest levels of government. These weren't conspiracy theories—they were real operations, documented in the CIA's own words. The Family Jewels revealed how the agency designed to protect America became its greatest threat. What started as damage control after Watergate became the most comprehensive confession of government crimes in American history.
