I'm curious about the CIA, because most people think it exists to protect national security
And that gets said a lot, but I wanted to know who's security exactly in whose nation
During World War II, the US built its first spy agency
The OSS, not with soldiers with Wall Street lawyers
And they built it around one idea that what's good for American businesses
Is good for American when the war ended Congress shut it down two years later
The same guy started the CIA, same people, same mindset, new name, secret budget
And this time almost nobody watching them
After the war Truman said don't bring over Nazis who were criminals
And the CIA brought over 1600 other many ways
Scrub their records, gave them new identities and American careers
They called it Operation Paperclip, the most famous being Verener von Braun
Who ran the Nazi rocket program using concentration camp prisoners and slave labor
And then became the father of NASA and got a crater on the moon named after him
Which does seem like a successful rebranding
Allen Dole's ran the CIA from 1953 to 1961
His brother was running the State Department at the same time
And both of them had personal financial ties that the United Crew Company
So when Guatemala's elected president tried to give farmland back to his people
And that United Crew claimed the CIA didn't coo 200,000 Guatemalans died
And the civil war that followed and united through kept its land
Because apparently that's what we were calling National Security
When McCarthy tried to look into the CIA
Doubles broke into a senate office bed and fake intelligence
And ran the story through Operation Mockingbird
A network of journalists on the CIA, pay roll the 25 American newspapers and wire agencies
And when the press still got too close they just wired to have the journalists directly
24 hours a day and kept a list of every senator, every White House said
Every Pentagon source who was still talking
That same playbook ran and ran Chile, Nicaragua, the Congo and Afghanistan
Elected leaders removed friendly dictators installed
Grabbed alarms secretly funded
And when Congress specifically voted to cut off contra funding
And Nicaragua, the CIA sold weapons to Iran through Israel
Took the money funded the many way and flew drugs back on the same planes
Which is efficient I guess, from the very beginning the CIA
Had a secret arrangement with Israeli intelligence run for 20 years by one man
James Angleton who was also supposed to be the person protecting the U.S. from foreign spies
And when he died the heads of a side and shin back gathered in secret
And Jerusalem to lay a memorial stone that reads in memory of a dear friend
When many of this got looked into the same people kept coming up
The CIA planned the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba told Kennedy it would work
It didn't and Kennedy fired dolls for it
Then told the people around him he wanted to splinter the CIA
Into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds
He was assassinated the following year
Lyndon Johnson appointed the man, Kennedy fired to lead the official investigation
Into Kennedy's assassination
George H.W. Bush ran the CIA
Then helped run Iran, contrized vice president
Then his president let everyone off the hook
His attorney General William Barr told him to pardon them all
The same bar he used to work at the CIA
His father Donald Barr served in the U.S. as hired a college dropout
Named Jeffrey Epstein to teach at an elite school without a degree
And wrote a science fiction novel about elites keeping humans and sex slaves
And William Barr came back as attorney General the year Jeffrey Epstein died
In a federal jail with the cameras broken and the guards asleep
So just to recap Wall Street lawyers built a spy agency
And called it National Security 1600 Nazis got new American careers and called it science
The CIA ran a media network to control what Americans believed and called it journalism
They did coups on four continents for covert interests and called it democracy
They ran weapons and drugs when Congress said no and called it off the books
And the same families have been running and covering for it for 70 years
And calling it public service And now the Epstein falls around
And half of them are still missing or heavily redacted
And they're calling it compliance oversight is being dismantled
And they're calling it efficiency And the people asking questions are being called threat
I'm just curious how many of the things we were taught to believe
We're written by the same agency We've been funding our entire lives
Without being allowed to know what it does
