Top 10 Secret Government Operations That Don’t “Officially” Exist
What’s going on guys and welcome back to iO.
I’m your host Jarred Bronstein and today we’re going to be talking about the top
10 secret government operations that don’t officially exist or at one point didn’t
exist.
This includes secret US prisons, also known as black sites, a planned attack against America
by the American Government, and a secret railroad.
As always be sure to subscribe so you guys never miss a video, drop a comment below with
your thoughts on all this and let’s get into it.
Starting off the list at number 10, Porton Down, England.
Although the UK government has confirmed the base does exist, what actually goes on inside
is a big question mark.
The base originally opened during world war 1, and was meant to be used as an experimental
base for testing chemical weapons.
Since it’s opening, the purpose for the base has changed quite a lot.
Starting off as an experimental base for chemical weapons, it turned into a chemical defence
experimental establishment, as well as a microbiological research establishment, run by the ministry
of defence and department of health.
In 1979 the base was officially split into two separate controlled locations, one controlled
by the ministry of defence and the other by the health department.
However, it’s been reported that experiments on both animals and human’s have taken place,
and in 2008, the ministry of defence paid 360 war veterans 3 million dollars each, after
3 vets accused the Ministry of Defence with giving them LSD without their knowledge.
Although the Ministry paid out, they never actually admitted they performed the test.
But why pay so much money if you’re innocent?
It’s believed today that they have scientists carrying out research into chemical weapons
and deadly diseases such as Ebola and the Plague, but who really knows?
In at number 9, Detention Site Green.
In 2002, Abu Zubaydah, who was believed to be one of Osama Bin Laden’s top lieutenants,
was arrested and taken to Detention Site Green in Thailand.
It’s believed it was located inside the Royal Thai Air Force base in Udon Thani (TANI),
and although it’s been denied by US and Thai officials in the past, the base was shut
down in 2002 and 92 taped recordings of interrogations that were stored there have been destroyed.
Seems kinda odd if you ask me.
It’s believed Abu was tortured on site, and was the first CIA prisoner to undergo,
what they call enhanced measures, aka, torture.
He was slammed against a wall, stuffed into a coffin-like box and waterboarded, as well
as deprived of sleep for almost a month straight, before being relocated to Guantanamo Bay,
where it’s believed he still currently is.
At number 8, Operations Northwoods.
This is actually some pretty scary stuff.
In 1962, the US Department of Defence and Joint Chiefs of Staff came together and proposed
the CIA or other government officials commit acts of terrorism against their own, only
to blame the Cuban government, in hopes of justifying a war.
The operation proposed included hijackings, bombings of US ships, as well as real or simulated
actions against the US military and civilians.
The documents, which have since been released in 2001, stated “The desired resultant from
the execution of this plan would be to place the United States in the apparent position
of suffering defensible grievances from a rash and irresponsible government of Cuba
and to develop an international image of a Cuban threat to peace in the Western Hemisphere.”
Thankfully, president at the time John F Kennedy rejected the proposals and removed the chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who signed off on the documentation before sending it the
US Secretary of Defense in hopes of approval.
At lucky number 7 we got Mount Yamantau.
Located in Bashkortostan, Russia, Yamantau is the highest mountain in the Southern Ural,
and is believed to be a nuclear facility or a military bunker.
US satellites have been able to confirm that large excavation projects have taken place
in the 1990’s, but not much else is known about it.
Although the US government has asked Russia what the deal is, the Russian government has
provided a handful of different answers.
A mining site, a repository for Russian Treasures, a bunker for leaders of the country incase
of a nuclear war, it seems the actual operations going down are a big question mark.
But an official response from Russia reads "The practice does not exist in the Defense
Ministry of Russia of informing foreign mass media about facilities, whatever they are,
that are under construction in the interests of strengthening the security of Russia.”
So, whatever that means.
Number 6, Area 51.
I mean, are you really surprised it’s on the list?
But we’re not going to talk about the raid or so much what’s going on in there, because
we only know what they tell us.
And I say that, because, although many believe there is some sort of extraterrestrial life
forms being tested on inside Area 51, the government has stood by their claims that
it is a testing facility for the US Air Force.
Which is fine.
But what I don’t understand is why they kept the base a secret for so many years.
Although the site at Groom Lake was originally established in 1955, the US Government didn’t
officially acknowledge the existence of Area 51 until June 25th, 2013, when the CIA released
an official history of the U-2 and OXCART projects, two of the many projects that have
happened at the top secret base.
And this was in response to a Freedom of Information Act request submitted in 2005 by Jeffrey T.
Richelson of George Washington University's National Security Archive.
So, it seems like they were trying to hide the fact that the base existed in the first
place, which gets me wondering what’s really going on in there?
At number 5 we got US Naval Base Diego Garcia.
Originally an island inhabited by around 1000 Chagossians, the US and UK government agreed
it’d be a great location for a US Naval base.
So after removing the entire population, construction would begin in hopes of the US government
having a US Navy Base to operate out of during the Cold War.
However reports in 2015 from Lawrence Wilkerson, a former chief of staff to a now retired United
States Secretary of State, claims the CIA used the facilities at Diego Garcia to detain
war criminals.
He claimed three US Intelligent sources told him the site was used as a "transit site where
people were temporarily housed, let us say, and interrogated from time to time.
What I heard was more along the lines of using it as a transit location when perhaps other
places were full or other places were deemed too dangerous or insecure, or unavailable
at the moment”.
On July 31st, 2008, an unnamed former White House official alleged that the United States
had imprisoned and interrogated at least one suspect on Diego Garcia during 2002 and possibly
2003.
However both the UK and US government have never confirmed anything of this sort ever
happened.
Coming in at number 4 Project MK Ultra.
The project was created to try and pretty much brain wash humans.
The CIA used human subjects to experiment with the likes of LSD, hypnosis, sensory deprivation,
isolation, and other forms of torture, to see if they can have complete control over
the human mind.
Although Project MK Ultra was first brought to the attention of the public in 1975, it’s
believed in 1973 CIA director at the time, Richard Helms, ordered all documentation to
be destroyed.
In 1977 a Freedom of Information Act lead to around 20,000 documents being released
pertaining to the secret operation.
More information was released in 2001, and in December 2018, declassified documents included
a letter to an unidentified doctor discussing work on six dogs made to run, turn and stop
via remote control and brain implants.
At number 3 we got Raven Rock Mountain Complex, located near Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania.
It’s also referred to as an underground Pentagon, and has emergency operations centres
for the US army, navy and air force.
Originally, meant to be built as a housing facility for officials in case of a nuclear
war or attack during the Cold War, it’s believed to this day the site still has supplies
and equipment that can last 30 days after a nuclear attack and apparently there is weather
monitoring technology used by Air Force one at the location.
But it seems US government officials are extremely secretive about what’s going on down there,
and there may be only one way to find out.
We should start a facebook event to storm the underground pentagon.
I’m kidding.
I shouldn’t say these things on camera.
At number 2 Area 6.
A top secret government base located in Nevada, about 12 miles northeast of Area 51.
You can actually see it from a tour bus on the highway, and it’s security isn’t as
tight as Area 51.
It’s surrounded by fences of course and has security check points.
From what is known, they do aircraft tests for federal agencies such as the Department
of Defense and Homeland Security.
The base itself was built sometime in the 1950’s for 9.6 million dollars and it’s
believed it was previously used for underground nuclear testing.
Approximately 4 nuclear tests and 6 detonations happened between the 1950 and 1992.
In 2005 a 5,000 foot runway was built but it’s so low key, no one really knows about
it and it technically doesn’t have an official name.
Who knows what’s really going on there?
At number 1, Metro 2.
It’s the informal name given for a secret underground subway system and city believed
to be built during Stalin’s time, when is was code named D-6.
Although many government officials have claimed there was only a single railway, everything
down there was old or deteriorated, it’s believed it was actually quite large.
In 1991 the US Department of Defense published a report explaining there is an underground
city below Moscow and outside, connected by subway lines as a quick escape for the leader.
It is important to note Joseph Stalin was very worried about being assassinated so it
could be possible it was made specifically for him.
However it’s believed the railroad connects the Kremlin, to the Federal Security Service
Headquarters, the government airport, an underground town and other locations.
And that’s all for this one guys.
