Central Intelligence Agency domestic espionage project (1967–1974)
Operation CHAOS or Operation MHCHAOS, a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) domestic espionage project, targeted United States citizens between 1967 and 1974. Established by President Lyndon B. Johnson and expanded under President Richard Nixon, Operation CHAOS had as its alleged mission the uncovering of possible foreign influence on protest movements concerned with domestic race-relations, anti-war, and other issues, but many scholars describe CHAOS as an "initiative that aimed to sever links between social movements in the United States and those abroad". The operation was launched under Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) Richard Helms by Chief of Counter-Intelligence James Jesus Angleton, and headed by Richard Ober. The CIA cryptonym "MH" in the name "MHCHAOS" signified that the program had a global area of operations.
