    Default The Science of Spying (1965) - Secrets of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)

    I was listening to Bob Nevritt last night and he mentioned the US national security
    act of 1947 which allowed intelligence agencies to lie to the American public if
    necessary.....Hence the term...'National Security' to basically cover all sort of
    covert actions.

    I found this great old documentary which opens up some of their activities,
    in the fifties and early sixties in overthrowing legitimate governments and
    includes interviews with CIA director Allen Dulles and Dick Bissel. Explains
    a lot of what is going on today...nothing much has changed funding,training
    and supporting guerrillas and insurgents & helping overthrow regimes not
    in the US interest.

    This film presents an account of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) activities that had
    previously been covert, including actions in Iran, Vietnam, Laos, the Congo, Cuba, and
    Guatemala. The film includes interviews with CIA director Allen Dulles and Dick Bissel.

    About the CIA:
    The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is an independent civilian intelligence agency of
    the United States government. It is an executive agency and reports directly to the
    Director of National Intelligence, with responsibility for providing national security
    intelligence assessment to senior United States policymakers. Intelligence-gathering is
    performed by non-military commissioned civilian intelligence agents, many of whom are
    trained to avoid tactical situations. The CIA also oversees and sometimes engages in
    tactical and covert activities at the request of the President of the United States. Often,
    when such field operations are organized, the U.S. military or other warfare tacticians
    carry these tactical operations out on behalf of the agency while the CIA oversees them.
    Although intelligence-gathering is the agency's main agenda, tactical divisions were
    established in the agency to carry out emergency field operations that require
    immediate suppression or dismantling of a threat or weapon.

    The CIA succeeded the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), formed during World War II
    to coordinate espionage activities against the Axis Powers for the branches of the United
    States Armed Forces. The National Security Act of 1947 established the CIA, affording
    it "no police or law enforcement functions, either at home or abroad". Through
    interagency cooperation, the CIA has Cooperative Security Locations at its disposal.
    These locations are called "lily pads" by the Air Force. The primary function of the CIA is
    to collect information about foreign governments, corporations, and individuals, and to
    advise public policymakers, but it does conduct emergency tactical operations and
    carries out covert operations, and exerts foreign political influence through its tactical
    divisions, such as the Special Activities Division. The CIA and its responsibilities changed
    markedly in 2004. Before December 2004, the CIA was the main intelligence
    organization of the U.S. government; it was responsible for coordinating the activities of
    the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) as a whole. The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism
    Prevention Act of 2004 created the office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI),
    which took over management and leadership of the IC.

    Sometimes, the CIA is referred to euphemistically in government and military parlance
    as Other Government Agency (OGA), particularly when its operations in a particular
    area are an open secret. Other terms include The Company, Langley, and The Agency.

    CIA in the early Cold War-era (1953--1966):

    Allen Dulles, who had been a key OSS operations officer in Switzerland during World
    War II, took over from Smith, at a time where U.S. policy was dominated by intense
    anticommunism. Various sources existed, the most visible being the investigations and
    abuses of Senator Joseph McCarthy, and the more quiet but systematic containment
    doctrine developed by George Kennan, the Berlin Blockade and the Korean War. Dulles
    enjoyed a high degree of flexibility, as his brother, John Foster Dulles, was
    simultaneously Secretary of State.

    During this period, there were numerous covert actions against left-wing movements
    perceived as communist. The CIA overthrew a foreign government for the first time
    during the 1953 Iranian coup d'état, at the request of Winston Churchill. Some of the
    largest operations were aimed at Cuba after the overthrow of the Batista dictatorship,
    including assassination attempts against Fidel Castro and the failed Bay of Pigs
    Invasion. There have been suggestions that the Soviet attempt to put missiles into Cuba
    came, indirectly, when they realized how badly they had been compromised by a U.S.-
    UK defector in place, Oleg Penkovsky. One of the biggest operations ever undertaken by
    the CIA was directed at Zaire in support of Mobutu Sese Seko.

    At first this seemed like a mild documentary but they get into some sinister
    testimonies from former agents.....shooting poison darts into victims causing
    heart attacks and leaving no trace.

    An insightful and shocking documentary about the secret prisons across Europe,
    where people who have been kidnapped from their homelands, are held without
    trial and tortured to confess to crimes. Crimes which will justify the US's Plan to
    dominate the Middle East and it's resources. Controlled by the CIA and in collusion
    with Western Governments, these prisons are said to be necessary to fight the so-
    called "War On Terror". Learn more at

    Thank you for this.
    I also read about the National Security Act of 1947 and wanted to point out the relationship between the CIA and the Air Force.
    The USAF was created the same year as the CIA. They share bases of operation referred to as "lily pads". The biggest public one is Dulles i think,
    or Andrews? I don't recall. Anyhow.

    Worth looking into at the same time:

    Project paperclip
    Roswell Incident
    CIA/US Air force usurping the power of the army/militias


    You notice that it's the USAF that is using the drones...
    the automated army of 1....

    I was in the Air Force and have a good reason for disliking some of its policies.
    I thought that it would be different, that people would care more about integrity.

    I found that the attitude was "paycheck first country second" and it was some real BS.
    The tyrants couldn't rule us if the men refused to follow unconstitutional orders.


    that goes for CIA too, if they read this.
    It was a sad day in history when these agencies were created.

    One can get a pretty good over all training on being a field agent by watching "Burn Notice". I swear that show is crazy, if you sit there with a note pad and take notes, then research them online you can get the full details. They are responsible enough on the show to not share (For the most part) the real dangerous stuff...

    Anyway, there is a lot of good stuff on Youtube as well as PDF downloads you can find here and there if you wanna be getting the attention of the DHS and earn a place on one of their lists... weather for fun or other reasons

    CIA's secret prisons in Europe



    Published on 22 May 2012


    Documentary made by RT.com
    "The CIA's vast network of secret activities spreads everywhere, especially in the
    Middle East, North Africa and Eastern Europe. CIA secret prisons for captive terrorists were found in Poland and Lithuania. Only a handful of people knew their locations.

    The row over the secret prisons has divided Europe and triggered a political crisis in
    several countries. RT carries out an investigation in the villages of Antavilyai,
    Lithuania, and Stariye Keikuty, Poland, to find out whether or not these places had
    something to hide."

    Hi Cidersomerset. Bumping your thread with this South African’s tale of spycraft development there. Early failures against Mandela’s first liberation attempts, through other lessons and steps, to having a global reach with excellent success.

    Am posting this to enable awareness of the wider wild world, for anyone who might perchance encounter that.

    I think it’s good to know of threats in this complex world, but please don’t dwell on things that scare you, because that might attract that threat into your life. I know that this is true, through experience, not least of which were a couple or three years having the hobby “paranoid” lol.

    Cheers, everybody. 👻🐝
