Cold War 186 - Project Artichoke

from A COLD WAR · host Cameron Reilly & Ray Harris

In 1951, the CIA spent $100 million buying arms and ammunition to support 200,000 Chinese anti-communist guerrillas who were going to fight against Mao. The only problem was - the guerrillas didn’t exist. Then, to counter the rising problem of double agents in their ranks, the CIA set up secret torture prisons in Germany, Japan, and Panama. It was in Panama that the CIA started Project Artichoke. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
