Federal harassments of Scientology span 23 years
The piece chronicles a broad government campaign against Scientology from 1954 to the 1970s. FBI agents raided three offices, agencies including the Air Force FDA and IRS engaged, thousands of meters and documents seized, and lawsuits followed as church leaders cite violations of the First Amendment.

For decades the federal government discourages smoking while supporting tobacco farming through price loans totaling about 847 million in loans and 10.5 million yearly admin costs. Health groups urge ending supports, citing disease risks, while farm interests resist. Health officials call for stronger action to deter smoking and question government underwriting an industry linked to emphysema cancer and heart disease.
