CIA

The CIA, over the years, has not had effective oversight, and it has repeatedly betrayed the public trust by engaging in activities that would not be approved by anyone of good will. It is closely connected to the vast right-wing conspiracy.

It trained Central Americans to torture at the "School of the Americas", funded right-wing death squads, engaged in 'regime change' that put strong-man dictatorships in place, and precipitated wars in almost every part of the world.  

Covert agencies are not accountable. They not only have budgets that are large and hidden, they have been responsible for all US wars since WWII (every one unsuccessful) and many illegal activities. We know that the CIA has run drugs into Los Angeles, that Afghanistan under the Taliban produced almost no narcotics but now it produces a large part of the worlds drugs, the agency has engaged in renditions, torture, assassinations, regime changes...and it has supported dictatorships in many parts of the world.  If good US citizens were fully informed, there would be an even more massive change of politicians.

Secrecy is one of many enemies of democracy and the Constitution. If we want the kind of government the framers intended, there should be no black budget...and no CIA.

Secret Wars of the CIA (John Stockwell, 1987)

Death squad leader 'was top CIA agent' 23 Mar 2009 The late President Milosevic's secret police chief and organizer of Serb death squads during the genocidal ethnic cleansing of disintegrating Yugoslavia was the United States' top CIA agent in Belgrade, according to the independent Belgrade Radio B92. The claim that from 1992 until the end of the decade, Jovica Stanisic, head of Serbia's murderous DB Secret Police, was regularly informing his CIA handlers of the thinking in Milosevic's inner circle has shocked the region. Stanisic is said to have loyally served his two masters for eight years. He is facing war crimes charges at the International Criminal Court at The Hague.

CIA Drug Running

Gary Webb reported on CIA complicit drug smuggling into Los Angeles and he was for all practical purposes fired from the San Jose Mercury News for doing it. Not only was this a branch of the Iran-Contra illegal war, but it had the effect of making a large number of (mostly democratic voting) minorities ineligible to vote. A win-wing for the vast right-wing conspiracy.

"Anyhow, one part has E. Howard Hunt drooling over this wonderful coup, and he says that the JESUITS were great help. I think he says that the Archbishop in NYC or Italy contacted the Jesuit top guy in Guatemala, and they provided both Intelligence and Propaganda against the government of Jacobo Arbenz --- who was only trying to get the dirt farmers a little more bling -- or food."
