Overview

The CIA implanted a microphone in a cat. The Air Force studied detonating a nuclear bomb on the Moon. The Navy sprayed bacteria over San Francisco, and a man died. The Joint Chiefs of Staff proposed staging terrorist attacks on American citizens and blaming Cuba. Every one of these is a documented fact. Ghost Programs is a meticulously researched investigation, built entirely from declassified files, FOIA releases, and sworn congressional testimony, into the strangest projects the United States government ever funded-and then tried to forget. Inside, you'll discover: MKULTRA-how the CIA dosed unwitting Americans with LSD, and destroyed the evidence Stargate-the twenty-year Pentagon program that paid psychics to spy on Soviet weapons sites Project Pluto-a nuclear cruise missile designed to kill enemies just by flying overhead Project Iceworm-the Cold War plan to hide six hundred missiles inside the Greenland ice sheet Operation Northwoods-the 1962 plan to manufacture a war by attacking American civilians The Moscow Signal-a microwave beam aimed at U.S. diplomats for fourteen years before they were told Tuskegee, Holmesburg, and four thousand radiation experiments-the slow arc of America's reckoning with what was done to its own citizens This is not conspiracy theory. This is the historical record-buried in archive boxes, released decades late, and almost entirely forgotten. Drawing on more than fifty years of declassified material, Ghost Programs gathers into a single sobering account what governments do when no one is watching, and asks why we are only now finding out.
