After being encouraged to check into the Mayo clinic, the author was subjected to a series of brutal electric shock treatments which destroyed his ability to write. Mentally, physically and spiritually devastated, Ernest Hemingway took his own life in 1961, days after returning home from the clinic.
Other FOIA documents published in Freedom told of a similar outcome for American actress Jean Seberg, another target of a malicious Cointelpro campaign. Seberg, rumored to have had an extra-marital affair and become pregnant, fought an unsuccessful battle to absolve herself of the false reports. Her marriage and career destroyed, she took her own life.
Using the Freedom of Information Act, Freedom has investigated and published a wide range of stories pertaining to other governmental agencies including the CIA, intelligence divisions of the military services, and the Internal Revenue Service.
Freedom’s purpose for investigating the darker side of American government history is not to expose for exposure’s sake. Because of the FOIA, public awareness and responsibility for government has been raised. Moreover, increased self-policing within the government has resulted in a system equal to none in representing the public interest.
