CIA Stories: The CIA is Born

[Gracy]

Abby Martin introduces the first installment of a new Empire Files series about the CIA explaining why the agency was created, and how it became the most nefarious criminal organization in the world, with CIA expert Douglas Valentine.

Just watched the first 23 minute installment, and true to form for Abby, very well done! Much of it I already knew, but much I didn't as well, looking forward to more. Information like this is responsible for my signature line.

My curiosity is always if they were that far ahead of the curve, that long ago, what are they capable of today?

I imagine that very few people at all have any clue about the real CIA, the level of subversion it was committed to, and the depth of pure evil at the heart of it.

To get a solid grasp on its real history, the Dulles brothers are the perfect case-study. I highly recommend David Talbot's The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America's Secret Government.

I wonder if the CIA is given free reign to murder whoever they feel , without the risk of prosecution ?

can they just do what they want, without oversight and just cover for each other?

they werent elected by the people , yet they run it all.

Thanks for these Gracie. I have been watching some of her videos and they are powerful and disturbing. Sometimes I can not stand to watch more than 2 minutes at a time.

If you can stomach it, here is her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG29FnXZm4F5U8xpqs1cs1Q

Thought this belonged here in the interim to Abby's next installment. If you have 34 minutes, they will be very well spent with Jimmy Dore talking to journalist extraordinaire Max Blumenthal of "The Gray Zone" about the CIA's dealings in Cuba, coupled with the quiet warfare of crippling economic sanctions on innocent people for the purpose of regime change.

Amidst Biden's new regime change operation in Cuba, Abby Martin brings you an exclusive interview with the Cuban double agent who infiltrated the CIA and revealed the US plots we are seeing play out today.

How the CIA wrought murder and terror on Indonesia. Abby Martin interviews journalist Vincent Bevins. It is still unclear how many politicians, activists, artists, teachers and intellectuals were slaughtered but the number is clearly in the millions. It isn't easy to determine, but the CIA may have murdered more than Hitler or Stalin, and they are still doing so.

Not from Abby Martin but another journalistic great, John Pilger. Pilger intervews CIA senior operations officer Duane Claridge. If you wonder how people who overthrow democratically elected governments by way of mass murder and terror live with themselves, here is a glimpse into how one of them thinks. (3 minutes)

This is big, very big.

Could JFK's pledge to break the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the wind about to come true?

This has nothing to do with a noble cause, Mark. It's about concentrating as much power in the executive branch as possible, without any obstruction. And that's an executive branch that looks as bad or worse than any covert agency currently.

Why bring the word noble into it. Noblemen are many of the biggest crooks on the planet.

My curiosity, that I pretty much woke up this morning nursing, is when all these federal employees are out of their current jobs and looking for alternative incomes, what happens if a filthy rich group of ( probably European black nobility ) absorb them all into similarly no-show employment, at least at first, and organise them into a counter revolutionary force ?

What obstruction, safeguards, or guardrails does the CIA currently have? I'll help out with an answer if you're not sure. NONE.

This may look scary to apologists of the Deep State, which has run roughshod over and has virtually no accountability to the people, and it may look especially scary to those not on board with rooting out the corruption and rot of government--which is currently at full-fledged war with humanity, waging no-less than an eugenics campaign against the people. But let's put this in its proper perspective. The executive branch has plenty of safeguards and guardrails. Namely the Constitution, the judicial and legislative branches, and most importantly, the term limit, which literally curtails any possibility of a concentration of power.

Until such time when executive action threatens to dismantle the aforementioned safeguards in attempt to concentrate power, I take no issue whatsoever taking on--not only a "covert agency", but--an unimaginable and murderous enemy of humanity with no accountability whatsoever.
