Article: "Lie, Cheat, & Steal: The CIA’s Disastrous Scientific Legacy"

This illustration accompanied an investigative piece tracing the CIA’s history of weaponizing pseudoscience and disinformation—from its Cold War origins to modern-day parallels in tech giants like Google and Meta. My visual translation distills the article’s core themes: the agency’s manipulation of scientific research and its enduring influence on Silicon Valley’s ethics (or lack thereof). The piece serves as both critique and historical anchor, layering symbolism to reflect the entanglement of power, propaganda, and innovation.

The piece was designed for print, but is accompanied with a video animatic.
