The US government doing bad things?... shocker. >_>
Doing? Sure. But this is about MK-ULTRA, which is a program that ended decades ago.
Only in name.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Aren't we edgy.

Actually, the USA gives unprecedented access to information on what its government does. Its just that most of the citizens are to dumb to fill out the FOI form, let alone figure out what info they are looking for...

Uh, most Americans are under the delusion their country is the equivalent of crap. Seriously, anti-American sentiment is just as popular here as it is anywhere else in the world. Maybe not in extremist places like Iran or North Korea but it's still fairly high.

Our own media portrays things as though we can never do anything right and are always on the bad side of history.

Face it, most people hate America because it's the cool thing to do right now.

Well put, angsty teenager. Do you have any evidence to support the validity of your claims?

lolno. Your "media" only sides with the political party it agrees to. So they'll make very thin seem to go wrong under the opposing party:

Which always aligns itself with, "Our country will fail if you continue to side with X party." It leads to a very split ideology.

You do know that there are more U.S. news sources other than Fox and MSNBC, right? Besides, we are still capable of, say, reading outside news sources.

And I don't believe that America is the greatest country in the world, because I'm not -blam!- retarded. The country is deeply flawed, but unlike you, I realize that the government's relative transparency and the our freedom of the press is one of the few things America has got going for it.

I think they found the best way to control our minds was to keep us scared through use of the mass media.

If you want something you don't convince the people to agree. You stage events so the people ask for the change themselves.
I really hope you're not being serious.

I really hope YOU'RE not being serious. The title is know your U.S. history.

Do you know the reason the U.S. entered WWII or Vietnam?
Or why the stock market crashed in 1929?

Did any of you know about this?

tl;dr- The link leads you to MKULTRA a project that consisted of the US finding a drug or method to control peoples minds and make them slaves or "robots". To find out how they(CIA) captured innocent people in the U.S and Canada and did several tests with them. They went from Mental patients, and prisoners, to citizens. It gets even worse as soon they start to test it out on each other. Drugging co-workers with LSD without them knowing.


whats knew. all governments test on their own. this has always been known

Err...

I hate to tell you this, but that was eugenics, not National Socialism. And several countries practiced it. And, we were just discussing the government using people as unwilling guinea pigs above for LSD experiments. So, how is any of this news to us?
