A Russian ship just snapped a CIA cable over the Norwegian fjord.

Operation Ivy Bells

>Despite these obstacles, the potential for an intelligence coup was considered too great to ignore, and in October 1971 the United States sent the purpose-modified submarine USS Halibut (SSGN-587) deep into the Sea of Okhotsk. Divers working from the Halibut found the cable in 400 ft (120 m) of water and installed a 20 ft (6.1 m) long device, which wrapped around the cable without piercing its casing and recorded all communications made over it. The large recording device was designed to detach if the cable was raised for repair.

>The tapping of the Soviet naval cable was so secret that most sailors involved did not have the security clearance needed to know about it. A cover story was thus created to disguise the actual mission: It was claimed that the spy submarines were sent to the Soviet naval range in the Sea of Okhotsk to recover the Soviet SS-N-12 Sandbox supersonic anti-ship missile (AShM) debris so that countermeasures could be developed.

>Although created as a cover story, this mission was actually carried out with great success: U.S. Navy divers recovered all of the SS-N-12 debris, with the largest debris no larger than 6 inches, and a total of more than 2 million pieces. The debris was taken back to the U.S. and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory reconstructed the AShM based on these pieces, and at least one sample was also reverse engineered.

>Each month, divers retrieved the recordings and installed a new set of tapes. The first tapes recorded revealed that the Soviets were so sure of the cable's security that the majority of the conversations made over it were unencrypted. The eavesdropping on the traffic between senior Soviet officers provided invaluable information on naval operations at Petropavlovsk, the Pacific Fleet's primary nuclear submarine base, home to Yankee and Delta class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines

I recently rewatched Black Lagoon, and the early episode with the sunken U-boat reminded me of a book I'd read years ago about a sunken German sub that had been recently found somewhere off the American coast, but I can't for the life of me remember what U-designation it was.

Anyone know what I might be talking about?

Shit, I read that book too but can't remember the title for the life of me.

We tested a "gay bomb" on Iran in the 90's.

MKULTRA: The CIA dosed all the bread in some small French town with LSD.

I like to imagine being the one sober person on that day. Just hiding away in my house, staring out a window, silently watching all the neighbors and my friend's act like total freaks, depending on the amount of bread they ate.

There was a lot more to MKULTRA than that.
