The overthrow of Iran installed a far-fight anti-Commie Fascist regime with a horrible secret police. Chile is another.
The business of the United States is business. Or in other words, the CIA acts in the National interest...more or less. You mean the Cocktail Party Putsch? This needs more than just my "like", so I'll simply say...
This morning's story: The CIA has been and will hack into any and all iphones, smart tvs, etc., to spy on what we are doing. I mean no disrespect to to anything or anyone. I wish I could have fought in WWII, I couldn't join the military because of asthma, I'm just pointing out the wrongs of our security state and the supposed "righteousness" of it.
Read John Stockwell. He is legit because his works had to be looked over by the CIA/government before he could release them.
MK-Ultra, working with the Mafia to knock off Castro, that plan possibly turned on our own president out of anger over Cuba, this is all on the record fact. Bringing in Nazis. If the end justifies the means, then yes they are the beacon of hope, but if were talking the tactics of it all, Fascism cloaked.
Have you gone soft in the head Gunslinger? You are apparently unfamiliar with the definition of the verb "spy." Show me one spy agency that does not actually spy on anyone.
On its own citizens. It's not supposed to be a domestic spying program. If the FBI did it its one thing, but the CIA is strictly supposed to be against others countries.
You sure about that? AFAIK, In Search of Enemies was not reviewed by the CIA before it's publication. That was one of the reasons the CIA sued him. The case was eventually dropped, but the particulars of the case are slim on the internet.
Show me one incidence in the wikileaks release that shows CIA domestic hacking. That is the NSA's job(not the FBI's).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Plot goes over it a bit. Not at all clear whether or not it was a hoax and it doesn't sound like Butler was ever really a "part of it".
In the 70s during the Church Committee besides MK-Ultra, which is abhorrent on its own, they had an illegal domestic spying and mail-opening program.
From the Internet Archive...The Plot to Seize the White House https://ia802702.us.archive.org/22/items/pdfy-17F0BVXrHcyQbghI/The Plot To Seize The White House.pdf Interview with the author. The apparently only reason Butler was chosen was his supposed popularity among the ex-soldiers, despite Butler's rabidly anti-Business attitudes. https://www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/warisaracket.html
Butler testified in front of Congress under oath about the whole thing. This isn't some internet conspiracy. Fascism was a fad that was sleeping the globe in wake of the depression and in a sense its also corporatism.
There's also some doubt as to how serious the "conspiracy" really was. Note that at the time it wasn't viewed as all that serious.
They wanted Butler to be the "spokesman" of the corporate fascists of America. They thought he had the military reputation to lead a following. Read what Butler said he felt the actual role of the Marines were in terms of American business interests. He compared himself and his outfit to racketeers.
