Original: Burglaries, Assassinations, and Mind Control: Talking the 50th Anniversary of the Church Committee Report with Matthew Guariglia and Brian Hochman
The 50th anniversary of the Church Committee report is being marked with a discussion featuring historians Matthew Guariglia and Brian Hochman. The 1975-76 congressional investigation exposed CIA assassination plots, NSA surveillance, FBI burglary programs, and mind-control experiments, leading to intelligence oversight reforms. Commenters are reflecting on how its findings on government secrecy and abuse of power remain relevant to current debates over surveillance and executive authority.
