										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>These research stations were abandoned by the Soviet Union, which could disappear underwater at any time. But American agents have landed at research stations and are not afraid of this.</strong><br />
<span id="more-25371"></span> On May 28, 1962, American agents parachuted from a B-17 bomber and landed at Severny Polyus-8 (North Pole-8, or NP-8), an abandoned Soviet research station on a military jet. Icebergs floating in the Arctic Ocean. This was the beginning of one of the CIA&#8217;s most &#8220;strange&#8221; operations, codenamed &#8220;Operation Coldfeet&#8221;.</p>
<p> <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_09_65_29352341/2db247044b46a218fb57.jpg" width="625" height="351"> <em> Soviet Arctic explorer at station NP-8. Photo: Sputnik</em> <strong> Searching for a Soviet research station</strong> The research station NP-8 was only used by Soviet Arctic explorers until the time the ice sheet began to split. At that time, the scientists could have been urgently evacuated and this abandoned research station continued to float in the ocean until it was destroyed. In the early 1960s, the CIA and the Office of Naval Research under the US Department of the Navy conducted a &#8220;hunt&#8221; for abandoned Soviet research stations. It is said that the Soviet Union installed American submarine sound detectors there. Initially, the target was station NP-9, detected by a reconnaissance aircraft in May 1961. However, the operation was delayed and the research station was located too far in the waters of the Arctic Ocean. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_09_65_29352341/244544f348b1a1eff8a0.jpg" width="625" height="424"> <em> Station NP-9. Photo: Sputnik</em> In the spring of 1962, about 970km from the Canadian Air Force base at Resolute Bay, another abandoned and floating research station &#8211; station NP-8 &#8211; was accidentally discovered. This is an opportunity America cannot afford to miss. <strong> Plan &#8220;Skyhook&#8221;</strong> Considering the fact that an icebreaker can&#8217;t make it through the dense ice in the area, a helicopter won&#8217;t be able to reach NP-8&#8217;s location and the plane&#8217;s landing on icebergs Floating is also too dangerous. So the US decided to drop the agents there by parachute. But the question then is how to bring those people back [máy bay]. In the end, the US decided to use the evacuation system that the CIA used in hostile lands, also known as the “Skyhook” – developed in the late 1950s. The plan required a balloon. Helium-inflated small, a 150-meter lift and a low-flying aircraft. When the balloon rises to the required height, agents &#8220;tethered&#8221; to the balloon by lifting ropes will wait on the ground. The approaching aircraft will use a special scraper or &#8220;horn&#8221; to pull the rope while releasing the balloon. The lifting rope is then automatically wound into the winch, lifting the agent onto the plane. <strong> What happened on the iceberg?</strong> Major James Smith, an experienced paratrooper and fluent Russian, and his colleague Captain Leonard A. LeSchack, an expert in submarine surveillance systems, had three days to review everything at the research station. . A few boxes of essential equipment were dropped onto the iceberg with the agents. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_09_65_29352341/ce20ad96a1d4488a11c5.jpg" width="625" height="414"> <em> American B-17 bomber. Photo: Uli Elch (CC BY-SA 4.0)</em> As the US predicted, the Soviet scientists left NP-8 station in a hurry without having time to bring all the equipment. Agents discovered more than 80 documents, collected debris from equipment left behind by the Soviet Union, took about 100 photos. By the time the plane returned to pick them up, the weather in the research station area had turned severely bad. Visibility is reduced and wind is very strong. “I was immediately in a situation that one would imagine was flying into space,” recalls Connie W. Seigrist, the pilot of the plane that arrived to pick up the agents. The &#8220;trophies&#8221; collected by the agents were easily loaded onto the plane using the Skyhook without any problems, but getting the agents on board was a difficult task. The wind caused LeSchack to be dragged nearly 100 meters until the agent tried to cling to a block of ice. Even after the plane picked up the lifting rope, LeSchack still spent up to 10 minutes &#8220;hanging&#8221; in the air in cold weather before boarding. After seeing what happened to his colleague, Smith released his balloon and held on to a Soviet tractor left beside the research station for as long as possible. In the end, Smith was lifted without any particular difficulty. “Enjoy your time. This is the first time I&#8217;ve been able to relax in about a week,&#8221; Smith joked to the pilots after being loaded onto the plane. As a result of Operation Coldfeet, the Americans discovered that the Soviet Union had made significant advances in the field of polar meteorology and polar oceanography. In addition, the US also obtained evidence that the Soviet Union used sonar equipment of US submarines in the Arctic. &#8220;Overall, the Soviet Union&#8217;s remarkable achievements in drifting stations show that they have a long experience in this field and that these research stations themselves are also very important to the Soviet government.&#8221; , the commander of the operation, Colonel John Cadwalader said.</p>

<p> <em> Soviet polar explorer at the NP-8 ice station. Photo: Sputnik</em> On May 28, 1962, two Americans parachuted from the B-17 &#8220;Flying Fortress,&#8221; landing at Severny Polyus-8 (also known as North Pole-8, or NP-8), a research station destroyed abandoned Soviet Union is drifting on an iceberg in the Arctic Ocean. This was the starting point of one of the CIA&#8217;s most unusual operations, which went down in history with the codename Operation Coldfeet. <strong> Hunting for Soviet ice stations</strong> An iceberg station was only useful to Soviet polar explorers until the moment the iceberg on which it rested began to disintegrate. At that time, the scientists will be urgently evacuated and the abandoned station will continue to drift across the ocean until it is completely destroyed. In the early 1960s, the CIA and the US Department of Navy&#8217;s Office of Naval Research conducted a real manhunt for abandoned Soviet ice stations. It is believed that in those places are installed sonar detectors of US submarines. Initially, the CIA&#8217;s target was station NP-9, discovered by a reconnaissance plane in May 1961. However, this mission stalled and the ice station was pushed too far into the ocean. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_12_294_39157369/23fffd2bf3691a374378.jpg" width="625" height="351"> <em> A tow truck rescues a car mired in snow at a Soviet observation post on an iceberg in the Arctic. Photo: Getty Images</em> In the spring of 1962, about 970 km from Candian Air Force Base in Resolute Bay, another abandoned iceberg station, NP-8, was unexpectedly discovered. It is an opportunity not to be missed. However, American icebreakers could not make their way through the dense ice in the area, helicopters could not reach the location, and it was too dangerous for an aircraft to land on a disintegrating &#8220;buoy&#8221;. So the CIA decided to drop the agents by parachute. But the question then is how to bring them back. Ultimately, officials decided to use a system that specialized in evacuating CIA agents from hostile territory known as the &#8216;Skyhook&#8217; developed by Robert E. Fulton in the late 1950s. The system required a a bread-shaped, helium-filled balloon, a 150-meter extension cord and a low-altitude aircraft. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_12_294_39157369/d3c60f120150e80eb141.jpg" width="625" height="351"> <em> Lockheed P-2 Neptune reconnaissance aircraft. Photo: RBTH</em> When they needed to get out of the location, CIA agents would use helium cylinders to inflate their personal balloons, tie one end of the rope to it, and wrap the other end around them. The balloon will rise into the air, and the rescue plane will use special forks to reach for the rope, then release the balloon. The rope was then wound onto a winch and lifted the agents onto the plane. <strong> The rescue</strong> Major James Smith, an experienced paratrooper who is fluent in Russian, and his colleague, Lieutenant Leonard A. LeSchack, an expert in submarine surveillance systems, spent three days researching the NP-station- 8. They parachute down to the station with some necessary equipment boxes. As expected by the Americans, the Soviet scientists rushed to leave the NP-8 station without taking all the equipment with them. CIA agents unearthed more than 80 documents, collected fragments of equipment left behind by the Soviets, and took about a hundred pictures. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_12_294_39157369/7d24a6f0a8b241ec18a3.jpg" width="625" height="424"> <em> Soviet Arctic Station 9. Photo: Sputnik</em> By the time it was designated to evacuate, the weather at station NP-8 had deteriorated dramatically: Visibility had plummeted and icy winds were rushing in. Connie W. Seigrist, the pilot of the plane that rescued the agents, recalls: “I was immediately thrown into a situation that could have been imagined as if I was flying through space.” The aircraft collected the &#8220;trophies&#8221; using the &#8216;Skyhook&#8217; system without much difficulty, but with humans it was even more difficult. The wind dragged LeSchack nearly 100 meters above the ice as he waited for evacuation by trying to anchor himself to a block of ice. Even after the plane had picked up, LeSchack spent another 10 minutes dangling in the icy air before being hoisted onto the plane. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_12_294_39157369/e25a3b8e35ccdc9285dd.jpg" width="625" height="467"> <em> Major Smith (water drinker) on a B-17 on June 2, 1962; Lieutenant LeShack in the lower right corner.

In the end, he was lifted without any particular difficulty. As a result of Operation Coldfeet, the Americans discovered that the Soviet Union had made significant advances in the study of polar meteorology and polar oceanography. In addition, they obtained evidence that the Russians were using sonar equipment to detect American submarines in the Arctic. &#8220;Overall, the Soviet Union&#8217;s remarkable achievements in iceberg stations reflect their long experience in this field and the great importance their government places on it,&#8221; said Operation Commander, Captain John Cadwalader noted.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Research into the wonders of the world&#8217;s most complex biological machine &#8211; the human brain &#8211; has spawned surprisingly inhuman psychological experiments. From hypnosis, brainwashing to psychological torture. Here are the most horrifying psychological experiments in history.</strong><br />
<span id="more-17159"></span> <strong> Artichoke Project</strong> &#8211; The CIA has conducted a series of mind control projects to interrogate special subjects. They use different methods and materials such as hypnosis, LSD, total isolation. As a result, subjects to become dull, dodgy, insane.</p>
<p> <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_21_304_38920961/603968a073e29abcc3f3.jpg" width="625" height="329"> In 1951, the CIA&#8217;s Office of Scientific Information initiated a mind control project called &#8220;Artichoke&#8221;. This project was overseen by a representative from CIA research staff, former Army general, Paul F. Gaynor, and gathered information from intelligence units of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Army and FBI. The project was also posed to answer the question, “Can we control an individual to the point of fully complying with the given orders, even if the individual disagrees with the order and even obeys the order? obey orders that are contrary to the basic laws of nature, such as the law of survival?&#8221; The project also conducts experiments at home and abroad, using LSD stimulants, hypnosis and using complete isolation to develop techniques for interrogating human subjects. Similarly, experiments on forcing morphine addiction, drug addiction, and using chemicals that affect memory were also carried out. CIA selects disadvantaged people in society as the target of the project. These include homosexuals, ethnic minorities and prisoners of war. Experimental sites are isolated places in Japan, Europe, Asia and the Philippines. As a result of this inhuman experiment, the participants suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, amnesia and more. Dengue virus was also used in the experiments. <strong> Operation Midnight Climax</strong> &#8211; As part of a CIA-funded mind control project, this project lures subjects to safe spots and secretly gives them LSD or other addictive substances. As a result, the participants &#8220;went crazy&#8221; in public many times. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_21_304_38920961/93b89d2186636f3d3672.jpg" width="625" height="329"> <em> Frank Olson and Allen Dulles</em> During the 1950s, the CIA selected safe houses in San Francisco, Marin, and New York City as brothels. These safe houses acted as brothels to obtain a selection of men who would be too embarrassed to talk about the events. The CIA hires prostitutes to lure customers into the brothel, then they are secretly given drugs and monitored by the CIA through a one-way mirror. These lured visitors are also subject to extensive research into the effects of sexual blackmail, surveillance technology, and sloppiness on field operations. Not only were they forced to be reluctant guinea pigs, these subjects were also threatened and forced to keep the experiment a secret, otherwise they would continue to be reluctant guinea pigs. The strategy soon expanded and CIA agents began drugging civilians at restaurants, bars, and beaches. Not only civilians, but CIA agents, US military personnel and suspected Soviet spies were drugged and became reluctant research subjects. As a result, there are many cases where the subject is depressed for a long time. There are also reports of several deaths as a result of this project. Other side effects include a case where an employee was drugged in his morning cup of coffee and went insane, running across Washington, screaming that there were monsters in every car that passed him. In another case, a doctor who had never used drugs was drugged, and fell into severe depression. He jumped from the 13th floor. <strong> Stanford Prison Trial</strong> &#8211; the Stanford prison experiment funded by the US Navy to investigate the psychological effects of power, focusing on the power struggle between prisoners and dementors. The experiment came to an abrupt end after six days when some of the participants were drawn into the role of warden, used coercive measures, and even psychologically tortured the prisoners. On August 14, 1971, Professor Dr. Philip Zimbardo of Sandford University began an experiment to test the hypothesis that inmates&#8217; inherent personality traits and prison price were the main cause of these inmates. violent behavior in prison. He recruited 24 of the most mentally healthy and stable male students. He announced they would be participating in a two-week prison simulation. The U.S. Office of Naval Research funded this study to investigate the causes of difficulties among guards and prisoners in the military. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_21_304_38920961/477f44e65fa4b6faefb5.jpg" width="625" height="329"> Dr. Zimbardo provided the participants with wooden batons and asked them not to harm the prisoners or starve them. However, he asked the guards to apply psychological pressure by &#8220;giving inmates a certain sense of boredom, fear, creating a concept that their lives are completely occupied. controlled by us, by this system, by you, and me, and they won&#8217;t have their privacy&#8230; We&#8217;re going to take away their freedom in different ways. I.e., in this case, we will have all the power and they will have nothing.” The members who play the role of prisoners are “locked up” at home and “condemned” &#8220;Armed robbery. The local police assisted Zimbardo in conducting the full arrest and detaining procedures, including fingerprinting and inmate photography. The police also transport prisoners from the police station to a mock prison, where stripped prisoners are searched and given their new identities. The terrible results started from the second day on. Some inmates began to resist the guard&#8217;s instructions, and one guard used a fire extinguisher to attack the prisoners. Within 36 hours, one inmate started going insane and screaming, cursing, and becoming very agitated. It took a while for the team overseeing the experiment to realize that the prisoner was actually suffering from psychological pain. Later, the guards began to harass the prisoners mentally and physically. The experiment was forced to stop after just six days, as many of the guards became increasingly ruthless, and about a third of the guards displayed genuine sadistic tendencies. Most of the prison guards were disappointed when the experiment stopped after only six days <strong> Milgram experiment nghiệm</strong> This Yale University psychology experiment measures a subject&#8217;s willingness to obey an authority figure. In the experiment, they separated two participants into two rooms, they could hear but couldn&#8217;t see each other. They then asked the tester to ask the other question a question, and if the answer was wrong, they were electrocuted. Contrary to the expectations of the researchers, the trial showed that a very large proportion of people were willing to comply, even though unwillingly, even at the risk of serious injury and suffering. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_21_304_38920961/5a9f58064344aa1af355.jpg" width="625" height="329"> <em> Milgram test</em> Stanley Milgram, a psychologist at Yale University in 1961, began a series of psychosocial experiments to gauge the willingness of study participants, men from a variety of professions. each other with different educational backgrounds, obeying an authority figure to engage in behavior that conflicts with their personal conscience. The trial began three months after the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem opened. Milgram developed this study to answer the hot question of the times: “Did Eichmann and his millions of accomplices in the Holocaust just follow orders? Can we consider them all accomplices? This test has been repeated many times over the years with consistent results globally. In it, they assigned the roles of teacher and learner to two participants. They chose an actor for the role of the learner and a test subject for the role of the teacher. However, they do not let the subject know that the actor is also a teacher. Instead, they just chatted. Milgram then placed the two in an adjoining room and strapped the actor to an electric chair. He also told the subject that the learner (actor) had a heart condition. They also gave the subject a sample electric shock to experience the pain the learner would experience. They give the teacher a list of word pairs to teach the learners. The teacher then reads the first word of each pair and gives the learners four options to choose the correct answer. For each wrong answer, the teacher must shock the learner. The voltage level will increase by 15 volts for each wrong answer. Some subjects stopped electrocuting learners at 135 volts, however, the majority continued as they were assured they would not be held liable. Others, upon hearing their learners&#8217; screams, begin to show signs of extreme stress such as nervous laughter. In the first experiment, 65% of the participants delivered an electric shock to 450 volts, the highest voltage level of the test. In addition to the electric shock, the participants also suffered mental stress. <strong> Monster Research</strong> &#8211; University of Iowa trial involving orphans as subjects from Davenport, Iowa. The supervisor divides these children into two groups and administers individual skills therapy to each group. One group was instructed with positive words and the other group had to listen to negative instructions. As a result, there are children with lasting psychological effects. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_21_304_38920961/cb2fcbb6d0f439aa60e5.jpg" width="625" height="329"> In 1939, Wendell Johnson, a professor at the University of Iowa with the help of his student, Mary Tudor, conducted an experiment with 22 orphans from Davenport, Iowa. They selected 22 subjects from an orphanage for wounded soldiers and martyrs in Iowa. They hid the children the purpose of the study and said they would receive speech therapy. Out of 22 students, 10 stuttered, and the purpose of these experiments was to try to make healthy children stutter; and see if it&#8217;s helpful to encourage stuttering children that their speech doesn&#8217;t matter. This experiment produced negative psychological effects on the orphans of the second group. Some of them have stuttered for life. The experiment became known as the &#8220;Monster Test&#8221; because some of Johnson&#8217;s colleagues were horrified to learn that he was testing on orphans to confirm a hypothesis. Johnson never published the results of the experiments in any peer-reviewed journal, and Tudor&#8217;s thesis was the only official record of the details of the experiment. The experiment was kept secret because he was afraid of damaging his reputation, during a period of human experimentation conducted by Nazi Germany during World War II.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The quaint desert village of Dulce, New Mexico, is home to less than 3,000 residents and doesn&#8217;t even have traffic lights. Dulce is famous for being home to the Jicarilla Apache Reserve, northern New Mexico and largely inhabited by indigenous tribes.</strong><br />
<span id="more-16299"></span> However, this small and unpretentious community is an especially attractive destination for curious and conspiracy theorists about aliens, and most believe that beneath the town is an opportunity. secret seven-story military facility known as Dulce Base.</p>
<p> For decades, there have been many rumors that extraterrestrials have been conducting human experiments with the help of the US military at the secret underground base Archuleta Mesa in Dulce. , New Mexico. <strong> &#8220;Witness&#8221;</strong> The legend began in the 1970s. It began with officer Gabriel Valdez discovering strange lights in the sky and the corpse of a creature on the ground in Dulce with inexplicable cuts. According to Valdez, the creature he found resembled a mutilated cow with a dead fetus inside. He insists this is not an unborn calf, which looks like a strange hybrid that &#8220;looks like a human, a monkey and a frog&#8221;. Nearby were gas masks scattered. Valdez is said to have lied, but he insists the government has a hand in these cases, &#8220;evidence is left there &#8211; you know, predators don&#8217;t leave gas masks, fire sticks. lights, radar shields… They don&#8217;t leave those things behind,” Valdez said. In his book &#8220;A Culture of Conspiracy&#8221;, Michael Barkun argues that cattle carcasses with a series of puzzling cuts are often associated with people seeing UFOs. The researcher even noted that the Colorado-New Mexico border area had become one of the most famous locations across the United States for alien sightings in the early 1980s. <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_19_99_38890020/f356549c4edea780fecf.jpg" width="625" height="444"> <em> Dulce base satellite image.</em> Having studied a lot about aliens and the explanations for the appearance of UFOs on Earth, in the 1980s, Paul Bennewitz, a physicist and businessman, shocked the public with a government statement. are conspiring to carry out a plan to link up with aliens to dominate the human race. He noticed that his electronic devices were disabled every time he tried to enter the Albuquerque region of New Mexico, so Bennewitz believed the aliens were trying to cause disturbances to prevent humans from accessing the area. Since 1982, Bennewitz began to theorize about the existence of a secret base in the UFO community. In 1988, he carried out a work called &#8220;Project Beta&#8221; and warned of the risk of humanity being attacked by aliens in the future. After Paul Bennewitz&#8217;s accusations, military experts and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) repeatedly intervened, repeatedly presented evidence that he had mental problems, even brought him on the list of objects to watch closely. The harshness of US officials further raised suspicions that they were trying to erase all traces of the existence of the Dulce base from prying eyes. In May 1990, UFO researcher John Lear claimed to have obtained &#8220;four independent evidence&#8221; that the seven-story underground structure was real. Lear used to be a former pilot and worked in the government of the government, he is also the son of the inventor of the LearJet aircraft, so many people trust his judgment. In his studies, Lear even went into detail describing various alien species that are believed to have visited Earth. Many of Lear&#8217;s arguments became the basis for subsequent claims about the alien base in New Mexico. Tim Anderson, a former Dulce police officer, also claims to have seen UFOs in town in the late 1990s. He told a reporter for the Santa Fe New Mexico newspaper: “It lit up the whole valley and disappeared after the events. the rock… I had to rub my eyes several times. Anderson also believes that the giant Bigfoot lurks near this town. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_19_99_38890020/203584ff9ebd77e32eac.jpg" width="625" height="326"> <em> A fantasy drawing of an alien.</em> <strong> Theories</strong> The most controversial is the story of Phil Schneider, a former engineer and explosives expert who worked for the US government, who claims to have been involved in the construction of the alien base in Dulce, New Mexico since in 1979. Witnessing the presence of security forces guarding the base suspiciously, Schneider believed that the underground base he was involved in building was hiding a terrible secret, not simply an experimental base. Simple. Not only did Schneider claim to have seen underground structures, but he also said that he was injured and lost several fingers during the clash between the army and the aliens, which killed 60 people and ended with a mediation agreement. Schneider insists Dulce is just one of 129 other secret bases in the US. He and his supporters accuse the US government of using &#8220;black funds&#8221; for clandestine research at these bases. The “black budget” is classified as military spending, estimated to range from $50-80 billion a year. Schneider committed suicide in 1996. According to conspiracy theorists, the Dulce underground base is a seven-story complex located deep beneath Dulce, New Mexico. “Experts” believe that the seven-story base is 7 miles (3.2km) deep in the ground, and the central structure is built to swell in the center of the base. Each floor is used for specific research &#8211; from mind control over humans to genetic experiments leading to alien hybridization, cloning, abduction, and body chip implantation. people. It is also home to human-animal hybrids, human-alien hybrids, and ultra-advanced technologies. Some diagrams even indicate that the Gray and Reptile aliens have their own homes, while those claiming to be staff warn that the 6th floor &#8211; &#8220;Nightmare Hall&#8221; &#8211; is the scariest place. They even say this is the site of alien wars. It is no coincidence that it is thought that the Dulce base also has many research centers located in states scattered throughout the United States such as Colorado, Nevada and Arizona. Even in Afghanistan and Russia. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_19_99_38890020/b45a0c9016d2ff8ca6c3.jpg" width="625" height="428"> <em> Description of the 7 floors of Dulce Base.</em> <strong> Explanation from “Green Planet Project”</strong> One of the most detailed and elaborate documents on Dulce Base is the &#8220;Blue Planet Project&#8221;, which claims to be a collection of documents from people who have worked in the laboratories. In Dulce, the abductees were brought to the base, construction workers, National Security Agency (NSA) and CIA intelligence officers, as well as a number of scientists. UFOs. The document even warns: “This information is for those interested in the Dulce base. For your own protection, we advise you to exercise caution when studying this complex.” Dulce Base is a genetics lab connected to Los Alamos Airport by subway. Part of the research at Dulce is concerned with the effects of radiation on mutations and genetics of human, alien biological life-form entities. According to the document, groups of soldiers rotated in Dulce every summer, starting in 1947. The natives recalled that they also built a road leading directly to Dulce Base, and witnessed the trucks. in and out for a long time. This road was later blocked and destroyed. The sign on the truck read &#8220;Smith Corp.&#8221; and is interpreted as belonging to Paragosa Springs from Colorado. However, there is no company with this name, there is no record of it, and so it is increasingly believed that this is a secret project. With the aim of helping humans survive in the future, the Dulce Facility consists of its headquarters, security department, and several laboratories. The deeper you go, the higher the security. This is a multi-level complex with more than 3,000 cameras, in many security positions with different levels, especially the exit and the laboratory. There are over 100 secret exits, near and around Dulce. Many people have seen aliens around Archuleta Mesa and elsewhere south and east of Lake Dulce. Much of Dulce Base&#8217;s deep infrastructure is natural caverns. A witness who used to work at the facility (code CR-24 / ZM 35-File IV) with an “Ultra 7-B” license said: “There may be more than 7 floors, but I only know of 7. Most of all. aliens are taken to the 5th, 6th and 7th floors”. One notable detail that the document mentions is the statement of the Military Research and Development Corporation (Rand Corp) during a conference on underground infrastructures that read: “Like an airplane, Ships and cars allow humans to master the surface of the Earth, tunnels and drilling rigs allow people to access the underground world.&#8221; More than 650 people attended Rand&#8217;s 1959 symposium, with the majority being representatives of state-owned industrial companies such as General Electric, Hughes Aircraft Corporation, Sandia Corporation, Walsh Construction Company, Colorado School of Mines, AT&#038;T , Northrop Corporation, Stanford Research, and Bechtel Corporation. Bechtel, a super-mysterious international corporation, was founded in 1898. Some have suggested that the business is an underground CIA organization and that the most important positions in the US government are run by former executives. Bechtel&#8217;s operations. Bechtel is also part of a network of connected regulatory systems that includes The Trilateral Commission and the Illuminati, among others. According to some conspiracy theories, centuries ago, the Earthlings, the organization more widely known as the Illuminati, made a deal with a race of aliens lurking inside the Earth. As early as 1933, the US government agreed to trade in animals and people in exchange for knowledge of advanced technologies, and gave them access to underground bases in the American West. Special forces have also been formed to deal with extraterrestrial beings. UFO sightings in the US have not stopped. It wasn&#8217;t until recently that the Pentagon acknowledged that Air Force footage of unidentified flying vehicles was real, while the Navy has drafted new guidelines for the public on how to report unidentified aircraft. when encountering these phenomena. Geraldine Julian, who claims to have seen UFOs since the 1960s, says: “Just go to the town of Dulce, whoever you talk to can tell you what they saw… It&#8217;s not just a story. Fairy tale. All of them are true, and I believe in all of them, because I have seen them with my own eyes.”</p>

<span id="more-15677"></span> Any conspiracy theorist can tell you a lot of evidence about <strong> The existence of UFOs</strong> – however all are kept in government records.</p>
<p> Over the years, there have been numerous examples of sensitive or confidential information that has never been made public, and when it comes to &#8216;declassified&#8217; information, it is often overlooked by the US government. Ky has kept it a secret. War atrocities, Bigfoot, mind manipulation, secret nuclear testing and even the creation of cyborg cats for spying &#8211; if this is what we know, you might imagine What else are they hiding? Here, we take a look at the shocking secrets declassified by the US Government. <strong> MK Ultra program</strong> <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_16_180_38855854/b2747d3c657e8c20d56f.jpg" width="625" height="593"> US scientists tested LSD in the era of MK Ultra The MK is the CIA&#8217;s emblem for Technical Services Officers, who were in charge of a research project on mind control, which began in the 1950s. Scientists are working to figure out how to produce a &#8216;truth drug&#8217; perfect for use when interrogating spies from the Cold War era. They are also hunting for a drug that can wipe someone&#8217;s mind, or make the subject brainwashed and become a &#8220;robot agent&#8221;. A series of experiments using hallucinogens including LSD were performed on people &#8211; sometimes without their knowledge or consent. One of the &#8216;subjects&#8217; was a mentally ill man who was forced to take LSD for 174 days in a row. The CIA is also linked to brothels where they feed men LSD and film them having sex with prostitutes. Operators will not only record the footage, but also observe it directly through a one-way mirror. In addition, they also secretly let people use LSD then interrogated them. The experiments were not only immoral but illegal, so it&#8217;s no surprise that in 1973, all documents related to MK Ultra were ordered destroyed. However, about 20,000 documents remained after the destruction. Some of these were declassified in 2001, but the most famous &#8211; and most astonishing &#8211; came to light in 2018. The 1967 report explained that scientists had created six &#8220;remote-controlled dogs&#8221; by inserting implants into their brains, which could make them run, spin, and stop. <strong> Acoustic Kitty</strong> We&#8217;ve all heard of the unforgivable experiments to create &#8216;remote-controlled dogs&#8217;, but cats were no exception to the CIA scientists. In 1983, declassified documents revealed that during the 1960s the US government was interested in the idea of ​​training cats to be spies, going so far as to implant eavesdropping devices in their bodies. The plan &#8211; codenamed Acousic Kitty &#8211; involved releasing wiretapped cats near key locations, letting them roam around the Kremlin, or taking them to Soviet embassies and embassies. then listen to what&#8217;s going on around them. No wonder the cats couldn&#8217;t be trained to do what the CIA wanted and the cruel project was abandoned. According to reports, the first cat released as a &#8216;spy&#8217; was run over by a taxi almost immediately. <strong> Area 51</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_16_180_38855854/74e6b1aea9ec40b219fd.jpg" width="625" height="347"> Incredibly, the existence of Area 51 was only officially confirmed recently Surprisingly, the US government did not officially acknowledge the existence of Area 51 until 2013. That was the year that a 1992 document referring to the mysterious US Army base was declassified, sparking a wave of excitement in the &#8216;Truther&#8217; community. It became one of the hottest places in America &#8211; if not the world &#8211; after a former employee, Bob Lazar, appeared on local television to announce that he had worked as an engineer. on an alien plane stored there. Sadly, the document makes no mention of the &#8220;Roswell Incident&#8221;, or general alien accidents in the unarchived file, but the document was revealed to be crucial to the development of &#8216;spy planes&#8217;. <strong> UFO</strong> While there is no official communication between <em> UFO or spaceship</em> With Area 51, the US government was forced to confirm that leaked footage of mysterious triangular strange objects &#8216;overwhelming&#8217; around Navy fighters was real. The grainy footage was filmed in November 2004 and January 2015, meaning that if visiting Earth, they were fairly recently&#8230; <strong> Fuck Bigfoot</strong> <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_16_180_38855854/4da291ea89a860f639b9.jpg" width="625" height="357"> Some documents about Bigfoot have been declassified by the US In 1976, a Bigfoot hunter convinced the FBI to examine hair and tissue samples that he believed could prove the mythical creature&#8217;s existence. A memo from 1976 &#8211; declassified in 2019 &#8211; reads: &#8220;The FBI analyzed hair samples in connection with the search for Sasquatch, aka &#8216;Bigfoot&#8217;.&#8221; Sadly, it was found that the hairs, attached to a small piece of skin, belonged to a deer. <strong> Operation Crossroads</strong> In 1946, the US Army tested nuclear weapons at Bikini Atoll, a remote part of the Marshall Islands located between Hawaii and Australia. But before they could start detonating &#8216;nuclear&#8217; as part of &#8216;Operation Crossroads&#8217;, they forcibly displaced locals before the US took over the islands. In 2016, footage of the first explosion was released and is available in its entirety on YouTube.</p>

<span id="more-15601"></span> <strong> &#8220;Havana Syndrome&#8221;</strong> </p>
<p> Americans call the unexplained neurological problems experienced by US diplomats in Cuba in 2016, including dizziness, ringing in the ears, headaches and nausea &#8211; sometimes combined by a &#8221; the mysterious but more serious noise…, is the “Havana Syndrome”. Notably, in 2018, some US employees working in a few countries other than Cuba such as China (in Guangzhou) also reported experiencing similar symptoms &#8211; dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue, or fatigue. headaches and blurred vision, memory loss and difficulty concentrating; some even face severe vision and hearing loss; children in the home had nosebleeds &#8211; prompting the Donald Trump administration to allege that diplomats were attacked with a secret weapon. <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_17_304_38864760/e32fbdbea0fc49a210ed.jpg" width="625" height="350"> <em> In the late 2010s, US and Canadian diplomats experienced health problems of unknown cause; Source: stellariasacademy.online</em> Mosquito repellent may be the cause of a mysterious illness that affects about 40 US and Canadian diplomats in Cuba, according to Canadian government research. Scientists from Dalhousie University and the Nova Scotia Health Service studied Canadian victims and also the brain of a pet dog after death. The results showed that these people lacked cholinesterase &#8211; an enzyme necessary for the functioning of the nervous system. Some pesticides work by inhibiting this substance. During the 2016-2018 period, Cuba stepped up the spraying of disinfectants to prevent the spread of Zika. That was also the time when diplomats had unusual symptoms. It is not clear if Cubans will be affected by the disinfectant, but the Canadian team of scientists is planning to work with Cuban scientists to further investigate the issue. Returning from Guangzhou, American diplomats were only allowed to take unpaid leave instead of receiving treatment and rehabilitation. The Trump administration also did not launch an independent investigation into the cause of the incident. American diplomats who had to be evacuated from Guangzhou are still fighting for not receiving the benefits they deserve compared to victims of the &#8220;Havana Syndrome&#8221;; US diplomat Mark Lenzi filed a lawsuit against the State Department. Meanwhile, some medical experts and US officials believe that this is just a psychological disease that is formed in a stressful working environment abroad. According to the New York Times, the University of Pennsylvania Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center has received 44 American diplomats returning from Cuba and 15 returning from China. Here, treating doctors declined to comment in detail, but rejected the theory of a psychological illness. According to them, these patients all experienced brain injuries due to external influences. <strong> Symptoms Similar to &#8220;Havana Syndrome&#8221;</strong> The Pentagon and other agencies that are investigating the incidents have not yet discovered or released details, but the suspicion of an attack that happened too close to the White House is of interest, especially for these reasons. familiar &#8211; terrorism. In early April 2021, the Senate and House Armed Services Committees were briefed by Defense officials, possibly including an incident that happened near the White House. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_17_304_38864760/492d13bc0efee7a0beef.jpg" width="625" height="352"> <em> The latest symptoms similar to &#8220;Havana Syndrome&#8221; have been reported near the White House, for some; Source: news.com.au</em> The incident happened on the Ellipse &#8211; the large oval lawn south of the White House &#8211; where the &#8220;energy attack&#8221; took place that made a National Security Council official fall ill, according to several current officials. current and former US official with CNN. A female White House official also reported a similar incident in 2019, when she was walking her dog in suburban Virginia, according to a GQ report from 2020. All people who have experienced symptoms These witnesses all report their experiences to the CIA and the foreign personnel department of the State Department, to quickly open investigations into possible &#8220;Havana syndrome&#8221; attacks. A study by the National Academy of Sciences in late 2020 found that the illness that American officials contracted in Cuba, still known as &#8220;Havana Syndrome,&#8221; could be the result of microwave radiation. The document also says that the Soviet Union studied the effects of radio frequency energy 50 years ago &#8211; meaning any country, group or entity with similar technology could be behind the attack. power station near the White House and elsewhere. Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiation. The human eye can only see a small fraction of electromagnetic radiation &#8211; as visual light. But today, microwaves are in common everyday use &#8211; including telephone and television communications. Industrial applications include potato processing, plywood drying and curing, bread and donut making, etc. <strong> Sonic weapons may be the cause of the incident at the White House</strong> A directed-energy weapon that uses microwaves can quickly heat up parts of the body &#8211; especially those with less blood flow, like the ears, testicles, or brain. But more likely, the microwave during the &#8220;Havana Syndrome&#8221; event &#8211; and possibly the event near the White House &#8211; was the use of sonic weapons, or long-range acoustic devices. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_17_304_38864760/237574e469a680f8d9b7.jpg" width="625" height="359"> <em> Is it true that “Havana Syndrome” is caused by a mysterious weapon?; Source: stellariasacademy.online</em> Jai Galliott, director of defense and technology assessment and a former Australian naval officer at the University of New South Wales, said in an ABC report that sonic weapons can cause lung and liver damage. if set to the appropriate decibel (unit of sound measurement). Galliott adds, it has been shown that sustained low-frequency exposure over a long period of time can have other effects on the brain, and potentially brain tissue. And these weapons are real. The technology has existed since the 1970s and entered public discussion in the 1980s. But because the technology is still in the near-monopoly of the eyes of high-ranking government officials – like the Ministry Defense (DoD) or Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) &#8211; it is not easy to determine exactly how the weapons and symptoms of the White House event are causally related. “It&#8217;s not particularly complicated technology, it&#8217;s more about how they use it [và] effects they used to use [điều đó còn khó hiểu hơn]&#8221;; &#8220;Definitely Russia has that technology, the US has that technology, and also China,&#8221; Galliott explained to ABC. While it&#8217;s too early to say which devices, if any, caused the debilitating symptoms experienced by US officials near the White House and elsewhere in the previous months, we could be on the way. into a new era of discreet yet effective attacks on high-ranking officials &#8211; leaving no trace of the actors to blame. It is possible that the energy attacks were carried out from a low-flying drone, or a nearby operator, although this is only speculation. Canadian diplomats said their government had more detailed information on brain injuries caused by &#8220;Havana Syndrome&#8221;, but gave no further details.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>60 years ago, the CIA-backed invasion of Cuba failed. All sources of the attack started right on the island of Useppa (Florida, USA).</strong><br />
<span id="more-13021"></span> The author of this article is Tony Perrottet (the character proclaimed me), a writer specializing in many excellent articles in famous newspapers such as the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, who is also the author of 6 bestsellers, can be mentioned as &#8220;Cuban Freedom: Che: Fidel and the incredible revolution that changed the history of the world&#8221;; &#8220;The Secular Olympics: The True Story of the Ancient Olympics and Napoleon&#8217;s Amusement: Rewriting History After 2,500 Years&#8221; &#8230;</p>
<p> <strong> Useppa Island, a secret place</strong> On the small island of Useppa, I was sleeping with the CIA, at least the decor in my bedroom had that nuance. I grabbed the big bedroom at the Collier Inn, an recreational fishing mansion set in a mangrove forest on the Florida Bay coast that was once involved in the dark conspiracy of the Cold War. One of the unprecedented twists in the history of American tourism reveals that CIA agents took over the Collier Inn from a former millionaire in the spring of 1960, then Useppa Island (a resort). normal cool) has been converted into a secret training camp used for the invasion of Cuba during leader Fidel Castro, a shocking event known as the Bay of Pigs. The assault on the southern coast of Cuba on April 17, 1961 was an utopian attempt to bring down the leftist revolutionary (Fidel), but it has become a scorn for the United States. After three days of fighting, the 1,200 CIA-trained force failed under the Fidel Castro administration. That failure was hard to imagine when the CIA first chose Useppa. At that time, the small island lived in a precious calm atmosphere. Across the horizon, the cool green islands of mangrove trees glow in the sunset. It is that serenity that has fostered sinister intrigue against the small island. <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_24_99_38623175/1d2d3d591b1bf245ab0a.jpg" width="625" height="403"> <em> President John F. Kennedy and first lady Jacqueline Kennedy welcomed veterans (lost) at the Orange Bowl (Miami, Florida) in December 1962.

Clearly Useppa has not lost its classic ambience, cars are banned from use on the island, and only a few people (mostly elderly and have tanned skin), residents only have can use electric cars (for golfers), friendly space. On the path lined with roses, running through the island is flanked by coconut trees and many banana bushes. &#8220;This is the beginning of it all,&#8221; said Ms. Rona Stage, museum director at Useppa. The entire Useppa island is only 1 mile long, less than 3 miles wide, and the CIA&#8217;s secret base is only 274.3 square meters wide. The first highlight is the 4 small bungalows where the 66 recruits used to live, they are Cuban descent and in their 20s, some of them are in their teens. Houses are built from pine cores to prevent decay. At the Collier Inn, where CIA agents used to be a hideout, I spent the night here in the very renovated dining room into the hall for the recruits. The store located near the building&#8217;s swimming pool was a place where spies and doctors previously conducted a series of tests for participants in training, including how to combat lie detectors, and Rorschach ink-based tests to determine their solid political stability, intelligence assessments, and comprehensive fitness tests. In the museum in Useppa there are historical artifacts such as costume uniforms, and dramatic photographs of the war. There is a photo of CIA-trained soldiers on the island of markers showing those killed, executed, killed during training or taken prisoner in Havana. The museum also teases Useppa&#8217;s thrilling storyline, which turns out to be the CIA&#8217;s pick and intent to vanish it on the map. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_24_99_38623175/ee07c173e7310e6f5720.jpg" width="625" height="406"> <em> In April 1961, survivors of the 2506 Attack Brigade were taken prisoner during the Bay of Pigs incident. Photo source: Miguel Vinas / AFP via Getty Images. </em> <strong> Plan to set up a CIA training camp</strong> Since the 1870s, the small island of Useppa has been a fisherman&#8217;s paradise, and its heyday began in 1911 when a Florida millionaire named Barron Collier spent $ 100,000 to buy the island. a place for him and his friends to relax, partying away from prying eyes. In the early 20th century, millionaire Collier built houses, golf courses, palaces and a luxury hotel. The romantic millionaire secretly set up a lot of &#8220;second rooms&#8221; in the hotel, and his wife and his children slept in houses scattered on the island &#8230; Millionaire Barron Collier died in 1939. , and Useppa fell into disrepair. During World War II, the large hotel on the island was smashed by storms and eventually burned to the ground, but the Collier family maintained the plantation-style mansion and today it bears the name. Collier Inn. In 1960, the tropical island became the ideal base for the CIA to carry out an ambitious plan to overthrow the Government of Fidel Castro, which President Eisenhower commissioned and his successor John F. Kennedy would. cannot ignore. In May 1960, a Miami businessman named Manuel Goudie y de Monteverde leased the entire island to the CIA, and the agency quickly recruited recruits for the so-called Brigade 2506. Combining documents By reference I looked up in the stories of Mrs. Rona Stage, I chained the events together to get the most general background of the event. Accordingly, the young Cuban youth who were recruited from the Cuban anti-Fidel community in Miami &#8211; the name was never touched by the CIA &#8211; they were summoned at night to form small groups from 8 to 10 people gathered in the parking lot of White Castle. Without knowing their destination in advance, the people were transported in a van with black doors that flared for three hours across the Everglades swamp to a fishing camp, and then they gathered. Piled up a speedboat. There were three armed Americans who took the youth to a ship port on the dark island and showed them shelter. During the next two months in this unobtrusive training camp, CIA agents diligently performed tests, and trained recruits in coding, radio operations, outdoor survival skills, and demolition technique. The recruits receive mainly weapons from World War 2 and Thompson machine guns to practice guerrilla warfare in the mangrove forest near the golf course. CIA agents are certain that the guns were donated by a wealthy Cuban philanthropist and are certainly not supplied by the US government. The recruits themselves say they are working for a &#8220;New CIA&#8221;, or &#8220;Cuban Invasion Committee&#8221;. Even at Useppa, secrets are still revealed. In the entire history of the Useppa Museum, the most interesting thing to me is the correspondence between veterans &#8211; who reunited here &#8211; and most of them live in Miami. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_24_99_38623175/80d9acad8aef63b13afe.jpg" width="625" height="468"> <em> The facade of the Collier Inn mansion, which in 1960 was taken over by the CIA, turned it into a secret training camp for the plan to invade Cuba. Photo source: TripAdvisor. </em> <strong> The narrative of veterans</strong> I went to a place called &#8220;Latin America Capital&#8221; to hear witnesses tell about what happened. I stopped at the 2506 Brigade Library (in operation since the 1980s in a house on 9th Street in Little Havana, Miami); Take a taxi to the Hialeah Gardens Museum, which honors Brigade 2506, to see with your own eyes the B-26 bomber is parked on the ground. In Useppa, veterans relive the Bay of Pigs incident in the most authentic way. The ambitious attack had begun before dawn on April 17, 1961 and malfunctioned shortly thereafter, when the lander hit the coral and 13,000 US soldiers waded through the waves to land. Cuban coast. The CIA&#8217;s grand scheme turned out to have been terribly wrong. The Americans hope that after the &#8220;Liberation Army&#8221; takes a foothold, an interim government will be launched, and the Cuban people will rise up against Fidel Castro. But the Cuban people strongly supported the Fidel leader, and thus the US-backed invasion failed. Fearing the Soviet military response, President Kennedy refused to use aircraft or destroyers to attack Cuba. Kennedy limited his air strikes on the first day of the start of the war and on the third day all airstrikes were canceled. The tiny Cuban force counterattacked and harassed landing aircraft and CIA-trained forces on the beaches that the Fidel government had deployed; US aid operations have not materialized. Finally, on April 20, 1961, about 1,200 American survivors threw their weapons; the rest were soon trapped in the Zapata swamps. &#8220;The surviving legionnaires&#8221; (as Cubans call it) was put on trial in Havana and sentenced to 30 years in prison. Returning to the Hialeah Museum, I ran into veteran Vicente Blanco-Capote, at the age of 17, he was secretly transferred by the CIA to Useppa Island with eight other boys. Mr. Blanco-Capote recalls: &#8220;I don&#8217;t know where I am, there is a tall, blond American guy that we met on the dock.&#8221; There are three CIA employers that are known only by simple names like &#8220;Bob&#8221;, &#8220;Nick&#8221; and &#8220;Bill&#8221;. As for the 82-year-old Cuban veteran, Mirto Collazo, suspects that your move to Miami is a trap. When the rookies settled down, they realized that Useppa was not &#8220;Devil&#8217;s Island&#8221; as it was being stigmatized. Mr. Blanco-Capote exclaimed: “An island full of millionaires. Although there is no air conditioner in the house, they also have enough hot and cold water ”. The days passed in a place like a summer camp. On July 4, 1960, and the CIA transported 66 Cubans to two training camps located in mosquito-infested forests in Panama and a mountain range in rural Guatemala. Places with bad food, shabby and dilapidated housing, a miserable practice regime. After the training, they were assembled to 1,500 people and took the name Brigade 2506. History has correctly memorized the Bay of Pigs event as a bitter defeat.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>During the Cold War, the Soviet Union won the space race, the American CIA was not out of the way, when a Soviet Lunic spacecraft embarked on a global tour to successfully promote the world. , giving the CIA a unique opportunity to &#8216;steal&#8217; technical and technological secrets.</strong><br />
<span id="more-11814"></span> <strong> &#8220;Sputnik crisis&#8221;</strong> </p>
<p> There is nothing wrong and exaggerated about the threat posed by the Soviet Union, both military and ideological, in the contemporary American perception of Sputnik satellite. Shortly after Sputnik was successfully launched into low-Earth orbit, the US and the West fell into what became known as the &#8220;Sputnik Crisis&#8221;. The early Soviet spatial achievements were regarded by many around the globe as a testament to the superiority and effectiveness of the Soviet model of government and the social structure of the Soviet State. In the New York Times alone, &#8220;Sputnik 1&#8221; was mentioned in articles averaging 11 times a day between October 6 and October 31, 1957 &#8211; America&#8217;s fear of Lien. Bucket in space. With each subsequent victory in technology, the Soviet Union not only demonstrated what could be done through an economic and policy approach, but also demonstrated what American capitalism could not do &#8230;, or at least, it can&#8217;t be done quickly. The fear of the communists not only winning mentally but also the embracing heart and mind led directly to the establishment of the Aerospace Research Agency (NASA), which invests in the resources for missile and orbit science, strong funding for defense programs, and prestige enhancement to offset the advantages of the Soviet Union are becoming evident in many fields. <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_02_65_29041441/5ad9c5d7e4950dcb5484.jpg" width="625" height="936"> <em> N1 boosters of the Soviet Union; Source: spacethatneverwas.tumblr.com</em> In November 1957, the Soviet Union became the first country to put a live animal, the Laika, into orbit in Sputnik 2. The following month, the United States made its first attempt to send a Vanguard TV3 satellite (Test Vehicle 3 ) of the Naval Research Laboratory into orbit, but the rocket only flew about 4 feet off the launch pad before collapsing again and exploding. However, the following month, the United States entered space with Explorer 1, and later that year, NASA replaced the National Aviation Advisory Committee (NACA) with a mission to bring the US towards supremacy in space. . In 1959, the technically faulty Soviet Luna 1 rocket flew further than the platforms before it, escaped the orbit of the Moon and eventually entered the orbit of the Sun, but later that year, the spacecraft The Soviet Union Luna 2 pillar reached the lunar surface for the first time. Soon, Luna 3 sent an image of the surface of the Moon from orbit and by 1960, the Soviet Union was the first to send animals (the dogs Belka and Strelka) and plants into space and back. and still live. And just a year later, the Soviet Union brought a real human being, the cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into space. <strong> Plan your spaceship &#8220;explore&#8221;</strong> In 1959, for promotion, the Soviet Union decided to choose a number of technologies, vehicles and equipment that represented the great progress of the Soviet Union for a traveling exhibition. The opportunity to take a closer look at the exhibition&#8217;s most precious jewel &#8211; a Lunic spaceship very similar to the Luna 2, housed in a deck above the modified rocket has arrived. When they got as close as possible, a few plainclothes agents were surprised to find the spacecraft hidden behind glass cuts in real missile housings. The declassified reports said that some people gasped, raised their eyebrows, were shocked to know the incident, and believed in Langley&#8217;s ears (nicknamed the US Central Intelligence Agency &#8211; CIA). Immediately, plans and plans to &#8220;explore&#8221; the Lunic more carefully began to be mapped out. But at the display site, soldiers guarded the ship at all times, both during and after hours, when museums and galleries were closed; Access to the Lunic information gathering while it was on display was practically impossible, so the CIA turned their attention to the way the Lunic was transported from one exhibit to another. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_02_65_29041441/5d69dd67fc25157b4c34.jpg" width="625" height="416"> <em> The Soviet Vostok missile; Source: djournal.com</em> While all exhibit artifacts were transported from one city to another by train (with guards), the CIA identified several gaps in how each one was transported from the site. exhibition to train station. The artifacts are simply placed in compact crates and loaded onto a truck carrying them to the train station for loading and unloading. This transit was not closely monitored by Soviet security, with items arriving at random intervals and little coordination between transport forces; The guardians at the railway warehouses were not even given a list. It was this shortcoming of Soviet security that gave the CIA, above all, the opportunity it needed. <strong> Missile robbery from the highway</strong> When night came, in order to carry out their plans, plainclothes CIA agents followed the van carrying Lunic out of the exhibition site, not forgetting to keep an eye on Soviet security. Surprisingly, despite tight security throughout the exhibits, the vehicle carrying a container filled with Soviet national secrets made a short trip to the train station completely unaccompanied. When the truck approached, turned toward the train station, the CIA agent simply let the car pass and escorted the driver to a nearby hotel. An agent jumped into the driver&#8217;s seat and drove the truck into a nearby, chosen rescue park that has high walls obscured. This was one of the most daring agents of the Cold War, and could certainly spark a clash between the planet&#8217;s two nuclear powers &#8230; For thirty minutes, CIA agents hovered over in the dark surrounding their newly stolen truck, waiting for some indication that the Soviets noticed Lunic&#8217;s absence. When nothing seemed to be suspicious, they climbed into the 20-foot long, 11-foot-wide and 14-foot-deep crate located inside the truck. Their job is to approach the Lunic spaceship, disassemble it and take pictures of what they can, then reassemble it, stuff it back inside the tank and transfer it to the train station before morning, so that the Soviets would not know what happened. <strong> Professional work</strong> The barrel itself has been reused over and over again, making it fairly easy to open without leaving any signs of being touched. With no way to pull the rocket out of the barrel, however, the spies soon realized they had no choice but to get in and do their job inside the barrel. Agents take off their shoes and split into groups, climbing to the bottom of the box using a rope ladder they carry to access the secrets stored inside. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_02_65_29041441/e6f564fb45b9ace7f5a8.jpg" width="625" height="367"> <em> The CIA played an important role in stealing Soviet missile technology; Source: WATM</em> Soon, their plans went wrong &#8211; the Lunic spacecraft won&#8217;t have difficulty reaching through the missile deck it&#8217;s located in, but when attempting to penetrate, CIA agents find a small seal. in plastic with engraved Soviet logo. To reach the spacecraft, it was necessary to break the seal, but doing so would almost certainly reveal their interference to Soviet authorities. Soon, calls to CIA parts in the area, and were told that they could re-seal the seal and arrive in time for reassembling and returning rockets in the morning. Although the engine was removed, the pylons as well as the fuel and oxidant tanks remained, providing the CIA with enough information to extrapolate the engine size and the missile&#8217;s payload capacity. Once the seal is removed, the Lunic itself has been pulled out, disassembled, and photographed in great detail. The information gathered was not only valuable from a design point of view, it also provided important context with regard to the Soviet missile program. Thanks to the recorded measurements and weights for the payload, the CIA will be able to better understand the telemetry data it collects around each Soviet launch. It is an important intelligence victory for the United States and will continue to shape the plans and policies pertaining to America&#8217;s space efforts for many years to come. But getting information is only part of the job. As the moonlight faded, CIA agents working with hand tools and socks ended up reassembling the Lunic and its missile housings, adding seals, removing wire ladders, and fixing the top. of the barrel. By 5 a.m., the original driver was returned his truck and his &#8220;cargo&#8221;, and he delivered it to the train station in time to deliver the first guard to come to work at 7:00 a.m. . The information gathered from the campaign gave the US a more complete understanding of what the Soviet Union was capable of, allowing the Americans to plan their appropriate efforts. America is no longer active in the dull anxiety of the &#8220;Sputnik crisis&#8221; without the actual data it needs to substantially assess the situation. It was in that newly found knowledge that America&#8217;s future spatial dominance began to sprout. In order to defeat the enemy, it is imperative to know where they are and what they can do… and the CIA has discovered it in the back of a stolen truck. Less than ten years later, the United States came ahead in the space race when the Apollo 11 landed on the Moon just before a Soviet amphibious ship crashed on the other side. More than twenty years later, the Soviet Union collapsed and the Cold War officially ended./.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>US Secretary of State Antony&#8217;s unannounced trip to Afghanistan on April 15 can be seen as the first step in implementing the plan that President Joe Biden has just announced, withdrawing all US forces in Afghanistan on schedule. has set out.</strong><br />
<span id="more-3282"></span> The American war in Afghanistan since 2001 has been one of the main issues to be resolved in the foreign policy of many American presidents. The administration of former President Donald Trump made its mark on this issue by agreeing with the Taliban to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan on May 1, 2021, in the hope of promoting talks. peace negotiations between the Afghan Government and the Taliban.</p>
<p>US President Joe Biden has followed this policy with the announcement that Washington will begin on time the final phase of the withdrawal process and will be completed by 9/11/2021, 20 years after the terrorist attack. horrifying in America, sparking war is arguably the longest in American history.</p>
<p><img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_16_294_38547816/bf2cb1f09ab273ec2aa3.jpg" width="625" height="402"></p>

<p>The official announcement by US President Joe Biden on the route to withdraw troops from Afghanistan can be seen as one of the indicators of Wahisngton&#8217;s strong determination to reduce its military presence in Afghanistan. The US has also agreed with allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) on this issue. The foreign ministers of Foreign Affairs and Defense 30 NATO member countries agreed to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan according to the roadmap announced by the US, and the foreign ministers of the United States, UK, France and Germany met in Brussels (Belgium). on the issue of Afghanistan after the US announcement, showing that US allies in Europe support and are willing to cooperate in the plan to withdraw troops from the South Asian nation.</p>
<p>Analysts say that the US&#8217;s implementation of the withdrawal plan under the agreement with the Taliban could have many positive effects. On the one hand, the withdrawal of US troops will motivate the Taliban to be more serious in fulfilling its commitments. So far, the Taliban show no signs of ending violence in Afghanistan, and in March rejected Afghan President Ashraf Ghani&#8217;s proposal to hold elections this year and warned of further action. against foreign troops if foreign forces do not withdraw from the country by the 1/5 deadline. This shows that as long as the US military is still present in Afghanistan, the peace process will have little chance of accelerating. The withdrawal of US troops is expected to break the deadlock and force the Taliban to fulfill its commitments.</p>
<p>Former US military officials also argue that postponing the withdrawal risks the Taliban continuing to carry out attacks on US and coalition forces, possibly escalating violence and conflict in Afghanistan. At that time, the US will be more and more &#8220;bogged down&#8221; in this war.</p>
<p>In addition, for the US, the decision to withdraw will basically bring many benefits, both economically, politically and diplomatically. Economically, the US will save a significant amount of budget to protect security in Afghanistan. The US currently spends about $ 4 billion a year to maintain the Afghan National Security Force against the remnants of al-Qaeda remnants in the country. Preliminaryly, the US has spent $ 1 trillion on Afghanistan since its first military involvement in the country following the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America.</p>
<p>Politically, the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan will show the American people that Mr. Biden has upheld his pledge during the 2020 campaign. The war in Afghanistan has left more than 2,400 US servicemen dead, more 20,700 people were injured and cost the country a huge budget estimated at $ 2 trillion, but these losses have not yet led Afghanistan to the path of political stability. Therefore, the withdrawal will minimize the losses to the US military in Afghanistan.</p>
<p>Experts say that if he acts with a foresight, President Biden could use the end of the war in Afghanistan as an opportunity to begin the process of &#8220;restructuring&#8221; the way the two main parties in the US next. compete with each other on national security and defense issues. It would be harder for Republicans to oppose Mr. Biden&#8217;s withdrawal strategy if it is seen as something that bears the mark of former President Trump &#8211; who remains the most powerful figure in the Republican party.</p>
<p>In terms of security, the Biden administration&#8217;s move will contribute to enhancing the role of the Afghan government in maintaining security in the country. In fact, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has noted that the country&#8217;s armed forces are &#8220;fully capable&#8221; of defending Afghanistan.</p>
<p>However, peace in Afghanistan will face significant challenges. Even within the Biden administration, many opinions are still concerned about security risks for Afghanistan if the US reduces its military presence there. In particular, Director of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) William Burns noted that America&#8217;s ability to gather intelligence and act against threats will decline as US troops leave Afghanistan. Burns&#8217; assessment is based on the long-standing presence of elements from terrorist organizations such as al-Qaeda or self-proclaimed &#8220;Islamic State&#8221; (IS) in Afghanistan.</p>
<p>The CIA Director&#8217;s warning reflects the concern of some experts that the US withdrawal of all its troops from Afghanistan risks creating a void allowing terrorist organizations, especially al-Qaeda, to come back again. Since the US launched its war on the Taliban 20 years ago, although it has weakened in many ways, it will still pose significant security challenges for Afghanistan.</p>
<p>The Taliban agreeing to sever ties with terrorist organizations, including al-Qaeda, as well as its commitment to prevent al-Qaeda from operating in Afghanistan, is a prerequisite to a peace deal. with the United States in 2020. However, the fact that al-Qaeda has maintained a complicated relationship with the Taliban has raised doubts about whether the Taliban could completely end its relationship with this notorious terrorist organization. , as well as the real Taliban&#8217;s intentions of these commitments.</p>
<p>Over the past 20 years, the United States has invested significantly in counterterrorism and intelligence gathering capabilities in Afghanistan. However, US officials concede that once the military has withdrawn, gathering intelligence will be much more difficult. Stemming from that fact, an erroneous US miscalculation of when to withdraw would create an opportunity for al-Qaeda to rise again in Afghanistan, to re-establish bases, from which to launch terrorist attacks. Future.</p>
<p>After the US withdrawal, to continue assisting Afghanistan in maintaining security, the long-term solution for the US is to find a way that allows all political actors to act together with Afghanistan. The United Nations (UN) has also announced it will maintain its political and humanitarian mission in Afghanistan, even after the US and NATO withdraw their troops from the country.</p>
<p>In fact, the peace process in Afghanistan is now a priority promoted by the international community, as increased violence in this conflict-plunged country is killing many civilians and inflicting love. a serious humanitarian and security crisis. According to the United Nations Assistance Mission to Afghanistan (UNAMA), as many as 8,820 civilians perished from conflict in Afghanistan in 2020. Afghanistan is also facing a severe humanitarian crisis, with more than 16.9 million people, more than a third of the population, are facing urgent food insecurity.</p>
<p>In that context, many optimistic opinions that the withdrawal of US and NATO forces from Afghanistan could open a narrow gap towards a new prospect of peace-building in this South Asian country in the near future. However, the opportunity to slip through the &#8220;narrow gap&#8221; to peace in Afghanistan is still very fragile because there are many factors that dominate, including the building of trust between the parties in Afghanistan as well as the problem. conflicts of interest of related countries in the region.</p>

<p><em>CIA director William Burns is concerned about losing intelligence when the US withdraws its troops from Afghanista. Photo: Reuters</em></p>
<p>According to Reuters (UK), at the hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee, Mr. William Burns highlighted the important risk inherent in the decision of President Joe Biden, to withdraw all remaining forces. of the United States in Afghanistan, despite the existence of al-Qaeda and Islamic State militants.</p>
<p>“By the time US troops withdraw from Afghanistan, the US government&#8217;s ability to gather information and act on threats will decline. It&#8217;s the truth, ”said Burns, a veteran US deputy foreign minister, who took over as CIA director last month.</p>
<p>However, the head of the CIA also added that the US government is likely to keep some parts after the withdrawal, to help make intelligence predictions and resist efforts to restore the team. al-Qaeda terrorist organization.</p>
<p>Mr. Burns&#8217; warning reflects the concerns of many experts that the withdrawal will significantly less secure US intelligence officers, limiting their ability to gather information in a timely manner.</p>
<p>“In the broader perspective, surveillance for US threats will be significantly reduced so that preventive measures can be taken. The Washington administration will no longer be able to cooperate directly with the Afghan security forces, ”said Lisa Curtis, a former White House top advisor to Afghanistan during the former Trump administration.</p>
<p>Ms. Curtis also questioned which US anti-terrorist forces would be relocated outside of Afghanistan, citing &#8220;historical hardship&#8221; that had placed American forces in &#8220;the most appropriate locations. &#8220;is Pakistan and Uzbekistan.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, President Joe Biden said the US will still monitor terrorist threats, reorganize its counterterrorism forces and retain substantial assets in the region to respond to threats from Afghanistan after withdrawal.</p>
<p>Marc Polymeropoulos, a former top CIA officer who served in Afghanistan, said intelligence agencies often rely on the US military for critical assistance such as security and medical evacuation. He worries if US troops withdraw from here, how the intelligence community will stay.</p>
<p>Previously, President Joe Biden announced that he would withdraw the last 2,500 US troops from Afghanistan before 9/11, the 20th anniversary of al Qaeda&#8217;s terrorist attack on the US and usher in the country&#8217;s longest war.</p>
<p>President Biden&#8217;s decision shows that the US military presence is no longer decisive in achieving lasting peace in Afghanistan, a core assumption that the Pentagon uses as a foundation for military deployment. American team here.</p>
<p>A UN report in January said there are still up to 500 al Qaeda terrorist fighters in Afghanistan. At the same time, the Taliban are also maintaining a close relationship with this terrorist organization. However, the Taliban denied the allegation and claimed that no al-Qaeda members remained active in Afghanistan.</p>
