John Stockwell, Ex-CIA Officer and Tell-All Author, Found Dead

John Stockwell, the 88-year-old former CIA officer known for writing a tell-all book about the agency, was found dead in Austin following an extensive search, according to the Travis County sheriff’s office.

Stockwell was the subject of a Silver Alert earlier this month after he disappeared from his East Austin neighborhood.

The office issued the alert for Stockwell at about 1:30 a.m. June 13 after he was reported missing. He was last seen walking near the 3000 block of Wickham Lane on June 12, authorities said.

The alert was discontinued June 14 after search crews found him dead in a wooded area near his neighborhood, spokesperson Kristen Dark said.

Dark said the search involved Travis County sheriff’s deputies, sheriff’s office K-9 units, Texas Search and Rescue K-9 teams and boats, Texas game wardens in boats, sheriff’s office drones and aerial assistance from Austin police Air 1 unit and Star Flight.

I’m a Former CIA Officer – ‘Every Government Agency on Earth’ can Listen Through Your Phone

A former CIA officer has warned the world that every ‘government agency on Earth’ is able to listen through your phone.

It was a scene that was met with horror in the iconic The Dark Knight film, when Batman crosses an unethical line to turn every phone in Gotham City into his personal surveillance network so he can finally track down the Joker.

Well, such dystopian nightmares are no longer restricted to the land of fiction, according to former CIA officer Jason Hanson.

It’s little wonder given the chilling revelation he shared with LADbible Stories, saying: “Every government agency on Earth can listen through your cell phone, can listen through your laptop, can listen through your cameras. It doesn’t matter what it is.

“If you think you have a cell phone that is gonna be like magic and the Agency’s not gonna listen in, they can.” (Read more from “I’m a Former CIA Officer – ‘Every Government Agency on Earth’ can Listen Through Your Phone” HERE)

Former CIA Official Arrested after Feds Find $40M Worth of Gold Bars Stashed at His Home: report

A former high-ranking CIA official was reportedly busted by the FBI after agents found a mind-blowing fortune that included $40 million worth of gold bars hidden inside his Virginia home.

The feds last week raided the residence of David Rush, uncovering a staggering 303 gold bars, along with 2 million in cash and nearly three dozen luxury Rolex watches, the New York Times reported, citing court documents.

Rush, up until recently a “senior executive service-level employee” at the CIA, reportedly requested the massive haul of gold and foreign currency for “work-related expenses” between November and March.

But when the agency did a routine audit, the assets were missing from official custody, prompting the CIA director to refer the matter to federal investigators.

“After a C.I.A. internal investigation identified potential violations of the law, C.I.A. Director John Ratcliffe referred the information to the F.B.I. for a law enforcement investigation,” the CIA and FBI said in a joint statement to the Times.

CIA Seized JFK, MKUltra Files Out From Under Tulsi Gabbard: Sources

Two intelligence community officials confirmed to the Daily Caller that CIA officials took documents from the JFK and MKUltra files that were being reviewed by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard for declassification.

A CIA whistleblower testified to the Senate Homeland Security committee on Wednesday that the agency “took back 40 boxes of JFK and MKUltra files” and “illegally monitored the computer and phone usage” of Gabbard’s investigators looking into an alleged cover-up of the origins of Covid-19. Notably, MKUltra was an illegal CIA experiment program that used drugs and psychological torture to develop mind control and interrogation techniques.

NewsNation’s Katie Pavlich reported that “people from the CIA took documents (related to the JFK assassination/MKUltra) from the National Reconnaissance Office *last year* in the middle of the night during the government shutdown and have not returned/is withholding them from ODNI.”

Prior to James Erdmann III’s testimony, CIA spokesperson Liz Lyons claimed the Committee was acting in “bad faith” by not notifying the CIA that he would be testifying. (

“The witness testifying today is not appearing as a whistleblower in pursuit of the truth, but instead in response to the subpoena issued by Chairman Paul,” Lyons said.

Tulsi Gabbard at Center of Explosive CIA Claim as JFK and MKUltra Files ‘Vanish from Her Office’

Tulsi Gabbard is at the center of explosive claims by a whistleblower accusing the CIA of removing files related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the MKUltra mind-control program from her office.

CIA special operations officer James Erdman III, a 20-year veteran of the agency, outlined the accusations during a Wednesday Senate hearing about the origins of Covid-19.

‘When the DIG [Director’s Initiatives Group] ceased operations, the CIA also took back 40 boxes of JFK files and MKUltra files being processed for declassification by DNI Gabbard,’ Erdman claimed.

Republican lawmakers seized on Erdman’s shocking accusations, with Anna Paulina Luna declaring: ‘The CIA has 24 hours to return the documents to Tulsi Gabbard’s office or else I will make a motion to issue a subpoena.’

Luna later clarified that the CIA did not ‘raid’ Gabbard’s office, but did take documents ‘ODNI has jurisdiction over.’ (Read more from “Tulsi Gabbard at Center of Explosive CIA Claim as JFK and MKUltra Files ‘Vanish from Her Office’” HERE)

CIA Ran MK-Ultra Experiments on Prisoners of War in U.S. Custody, Declassified Docs Confirm

Korean prisoners of war in the 1950s were subjected to early MK-ULTRA experiments while in American custody, according to recently declassified CIA documents which confirm these experiments for the first time.

The only reporting that previously referenced Koreans being used as guinea pigs for these experiments was journalist John Marks’s landmark 1979 book, The Search for the “Manchurian Candidate.” Using CIA documents, Marks traced the now-infamous MK-ULTRA project to its start, when it was known as Project Bluebird. In the book, Marks describes how, in October 1950, 25 unnamed North Korean POWs were chosen as the first test subjects to receive “advanced” interrogation techniques, with the overt goal of “controlling an individual to the point where he will do our bidding against his will and even against such fundamental laws of nature as self-preservation.”

While MK-ULTRA is best known for its invasive experimentation — like LSD dosing and torture — the documents confirm Korean POWs were the unwitting subjects of less splashy attempts at mind control, like being subjected to polygraph tests, with plans for other invasive testing.

The declassified documents, which the National Security Archive released between December 2024 and April 2025, are available through a special collection titled “CIA and the Behavioral Sciences: Mind Control, Drug Experiments and MK-ULTRA.” The National Security Archive website states that the collection “brings together more than 1,200 essential records on one of the most infamous and abusive programs in CIA history.”

The first reference to “Project Bluebird” in the NSA’s collection is an office memorandum from April 5, 1950. Addressed to CIA Director Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, the document lays out the project’s goals, required training, and budget, all while emphasizing that knowledge of Project Bluebird “should be restricted to the absolute minimum number of persons.” (Read more from “CIA Ran MK-Ultra Experiments on Prisoners of War in U.S. Custody, Declassified Docs Confirm” HERE)

CIA Officers Reportedly Die After Narco Operation

Two CIA officers were reportedly killed in a serious traffic incident in northern Mexico over the weekend.

The crash, which occurred Sunday in Chihuahua state, also killed two Mexican officials and triggered a review ordered by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum into whether the circumstances surrounding the joint cooperation complied with national security protocols, according to the Washington Post.

The accident occurred as they were returning from activities tied to a major anti-drug enforcement effort, according to individuals familiar with the situation. Mexican authorities reported that the vehicle carrying the four occupants lost control on a roadway, left the pavement, plunged into a ravine, and caught fire; all four were pronounced dead at the scene.

Local officials said the group had earlier participated in follow-up discussions connected to dismantling a large-scale clandestine drug production site in a remote area. While Mexican prosecutors confirmed the Americans were not part of the operational raid itself, they had been involved in related coordination efforts. . .

The attorney general of Chihuahua, César Jáuregui Moreno, described the facility as one of the most significant illicit drug labs uncovered in the region in recent years. The incident comes at a moment of heightened pressure from Washington on Mexican authorities to intensify action against organized crime groups.

C.I.A. Covered Up Cancer Cures — Document Claims Agency Hid Hope for Victims

A recently surfaced CIA document claims the intelligence agency reviewed Cold War-era research that hinted at potential treatments for cancer 75 years ago – and kept the remarkable report classified for decades, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

Now, the outraged public is speaking out and alleging a cruel government cover-up.

The document, which was produced in 1951, discusses an article published in the Soviet scientific journal Priroda by Professor V.V. Alpatov that examines similarities between parasitic worms and malignant tumors.

The Soviet scientist and his colleagues reportedly believed cancerous growths and parasites accumulate large reserves of the stored energy glycogen and flourish under nearly identical metabolic conditions.

Their research cites experiments that show certain chemical compounds could actually target both ailments, including the drug Myracyl D. Other substances, such as Guanozolo – a guanine-like molecule – appeared to interfere with the production of nucleic acid, the chemical building blocks of DNA and RNA, which is essential for the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells.

CIA faces furious backlash after hidden document with potential cure for cancer is declassified after 60 years

A newly surfaced CIA document suggests US intelligence once reviewed research that hinted at a possible cancer treatment more than 60 years ago.

The document, produced in February 1951 and declassified in 2014, summarizes a Soviet scientific paper that examined striking similarities between parasitic worms and cancerous tumors.

The report describes how researchers believed both organisms thrived under nearly identical metabolic conditions and accumulated large reserves of glycogen, a form of stored energy.

The research also highlighted experiments showing that certain chemical compounds were capable of targeting both parasitic infections and malignant tumors.

Although the document was declassified more than a decade ago, it has recently resurfaced online, fueling outrage among some Americans who say it raises troubling questions about why Cold War research hinting at possible cancer treatments sat in intelligence archives for decades.

‘The Americans knew. They read it, classified it CONFIDENTIAL, and locked it in a vault for 60 years,’ one person shared on X, including the CIA documents in the post.

CIA Station in Saudi Arabia Housed Within US Embassy in Riyadh Hit By Iran Drone Attack: Report

A suspected Iranian drone strike hit the CIA station housed within the US Embassy in Riyadh on Tuesday, according to two people familiar with the matter quoted by The Washington Post. The US and Saudi Arabia confirmed that two drones struck the embassy compound but did not disclose that the CIA’s station was affected.

An internal alert from the United States Department of State, obtained by The Washington Post, said the attack “collapsed” part of the embassy’s roof and “contaminated” interior areas with smoke. The notice said the compound had sustained “structural damage” and that personnel “continue to shelter in place”. The extent of the damage was not immediately clear, and there was no indication that any CIA staff were injured.

While the reported strike represents a setback for the agency’s operations in the kingdom, former CIA officers said such disruptions can be managed.

“Drawdowns are a part of the business,” one former officer who served in the Middle East said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the agency’s work. “The local liaison relationship is so tight I think the Saudis will roll out the red carpet” to accommodate personnel, the former officer added. “There’s a lot of redundancy built into these things.”

Iran has long viewed the CIA as a hostile actor, citing Washington’s covert backing of the 1953 military coup that removed the country’s elected prime minister. (Read more from “CIA Station in Saudi Arabia Housed Within US Embassy in Riyadh Hit By Iran Drone Attack: Report” HERE)
