100,000+ American citizens stripped of any and all rights they had, thrown in prison without trial, all because of who their ancestors were.Or the crack epidemic being caused by the CIA, and then the subsequent murder of Gary Webb who exposed it.
mentioned above:

- gary webb “suicide” (suspicious anyway, but gov. prevented him from getting a job after controversial report)

- MK-Naomi
- tuskegee experiment
- operation mockingbird
- poisoning foster kids
- operation northwoods (wikipedia)

- i dont even have sources for this bc theres just so much fucking involved in it, but start here i guess for the syrian oil warfare
- theres like so much more so feel free to add
idk if this is exactly related but another fucked up thing the US government did is that they granted immunity to nazis who conducted fatal human experiments so they could use the data obtained from them. Just look up Unit 731 on Wikipedia and you’ll be able to read about it (some of the experiments in the “Activities” tab are extremely graphic. just a warning.)
