Central Intelligence Agency
Two declassified CIA programs with editorial coverage on this site.
The CIA vertical on govweird is built around primary-source documents the agency has released, in full or in tranches, under the Freedom of Information Act and through the agency's own declassification reviews. The editorial layer reads each document the way a working journalist would: against the public record, with attention to what the agency's own contemporaneous notes say, and without claims the released material does not support.
The two programs below are the ones covered in depth. The Family Jewels memo is the 1973 internal compilation of admissions that the CIA kept secret for thirty-four years; it was released after a FOIA lawsuit by the National Security Archive in June 2007. The Stargate Project is the CIA's twenty-three-year remote-viewing research program, whose full document archive was bulk-released by the agency in January 2017.
