I can't believe I forgot to watch the show last night. I've heard the same story from Jesse before. "Creepy!" is the right word. But consider how encompassing is CIA control, given an illustration of this kind. Outrageous!

Last night on his show our friend Jesse Ventura related a story that was creepy. One month after becoming governor, the CIA summoned him into the bowels of the state capitol . Jesse asked them what this was all about and told them it was against CIA mandate to operate within the USA. They didn't answer. He says what creeped him out was how ordinary they appeared, like your neighbors. This stuff is insidious.

"At least, I would like to submit here the original reason why I thought it necessary to organize this Agency during my Administration, what I expected it to do and how it was to operate as an arm of the President.<br />

I think it is fairly obvious that by and large a President's performance in office is as effective as the information he has and the information he gets<br />

We have grown up as a nation, respected for our free institutions and for our ability to maintain a free and open society. There is something about the way the CIA has been functioning that is casting a shadow over our historic position and I feel that we need to correct it."<br />

Great find!<br />

What HST misjudged was that the agency would be usurped by other factions in this country's ruling elite. Maybe it could have gone down the path Harry envisioned it, but I have a feeling that if the founding fathers had been flies on the wall in the oval office when Harry was signing the national security act, they'd be shouting "you'd better watch out!" . See, because Caesar thought he was Caesar, it's just that a bunch of Brutus' also thought they were Caesar.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I have to wonder, that if Dulles and others didn't plan this whole thing out, in other words, get a pliable president to sign their act, then they were home free to do their shinanigans. And maybe they thought, hey, this General Eisenhower would be a great choice to consilodate our power, except that Eisenhower turned out to have a bigger conscious than they thought, but still , he was basically their tool. Then along comes this Kennedy dynasty ! They must have been sweating bricks. So they did what they did best, get a guy like Ed Lansdale to plan out a masterful takeout, and then, problem solved. (I actually marvel more each day about the brilliance of the takeout and coverups, they were masterful, because it took researchers decades to figure out the details, and with Doug Horne's new treatise added to the other stuff published since 1994, they know most of it now).
