    Default CIA Stories: The CIA is Born

    Quote 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/UCG2...4F5U8xpqs1cs1Q

    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.

    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)
