The Ghost Sniper: Why the CIA Still Classified His Rifle

In 1943, a WWII sniper named John George used a $150 civilian hunting rifle to eliminate 11 Japanese snipers in just 4 days at Guadalcanal. But declassified documents reveal a darker truth about this forgotten war hero. The CIA classified his rifle for 80 years. His manuscript lost 83 pages before publication. Japanese intelligence reports claim he killed 47 enemy officers in Burma, but his official record shows only 7. When George wrote a confession letter before his death in 2009, it exposed a secret assassination program that may still be running today. Mysterious men attended his funeral. Someone tried to steal his rifle from a museum in 2015. And when his son tried to publish the missing chapters, the Department of Defense shut it down citing "ongoing operational security." This ghost sniper's story connects MKULTRA, surgical enhancement experiments, and covert operations that the government buried for decades. Newly discovered photographs from 2024 show modifications to George's Winchester that military historians cannot explain. Was he a hero who became an assassin? Or an unwitting participant in a classified program? The truth has been hidden in plain sight for 80 years.
