The CIA has launched a new podcast to help spread prop, propaganda about their agency. This is,
this is the CIA's effort to whitewash the idea that, yeah, we, we did kill Allende. Yeah, we did,
we did kill Diem. We've, we've, we've carried out all these assassinations. We've put coups in
place all over the world. And oh, by the way, now we're messing with American politics. Now that,
that one, that one gets real close to home. Whether, you know what I've, I think
Trump was, honest to God, he was just a horrible, horrible person and politician. And I have worked
everything I can do to, to, to, to, to defeat him in that effort. But I've also been conscious when
the CIA gets involved in presidential politics in the United States, that's very dangerous. And
like him or hate him, I swear to you, they're, they're involved. They've been involved in this
presidential process for several years now. Yeah. And, and, and this new move, I mean,
starting a podcast, this is absolute insanity because it is, you know, we know from the first
episode that's come out, it's pure propaganda. They want to go out there and, you know,
dispel some of the myths about the agency by having members of the agency tell us how great
they are. They're gonna go out there because they already have, they're gonna tell us, oh,
we're killing these people in drone strikes. But they're not gonna mention, oh, by the way,
we also just murdered a hundred, 200, 500 civilians with the same drone strike because oops,
we missed the first time. Which actually is what Kevin Gostola pointed out from, because
he's done such a good, good job of covering things like this. But this is 100% propaganda
from the United States government to whitewash a horrible agency with a despicable history.
Whitewash 75 years of spook conduct that when you start taking a look at it, it should scare
the hell out of every American citizen because it's not just about taking care of, you know,
it's not just about taking care of us. A lot of ways it's, it, there's hustling us involved,
there's covering up that's involved. And I gotta tell you something, I, the, the CIA, the CIA has
had a free, they've had a free ride. Yeah.
For too long. Every now and then a politician will come along like Frank Church and say,
I want, I want you to open your books a little bit. We need to start seeing
what you've been up to. And I think, I think we're almost approaching that time right now
Well, and a lot of people need to understand too, it's not just what the CIA has done overseas. It's
what they've done here on American soil for 75 years. I mean, hell, they, they had files on
Elvis. They thought, oh, well, his gyrations, I mean, literally one of their files said, well,
his gyrations are corrupting a nation. Yeah.
So this. Or Martin Luther King.
Exactly. Or any civil rights movement or any, any cults.
Environmental activists. Oh God. You know, talking about targeting
environment. Well, now, now again, I don't take a stand on this pro-abortion or this is not a stand.
But now you've got them going after pro-lifers in a way that I understand there's gotta be some
way to contain really crazy conduct, but it's gotta be on both sides. You don't just say,
well, we're gonna target these folks because it's politically correct for us to target these folks.
I, I don't know, man. I, I just think that once the public starts really understanding,
Howard Zinn was of course the greatest writer, Chalmers Johnson, Matthew Mintz, you know, those
folks were great writers and they told the story about what was going on with organizations like. I
don't know who's writing about anymore. Maybe Matt Taibbi. Who, who who would you, who would
you say is up there really following this kind of thing? I, I'd say Matt Taibbi for sure.
I, I think definitely Kevin Gosztola who is mentioned in this article.
Yeah. In fact, we've had him,
you know, on Ring of Fire multiple times. Yes. Yeah, he's brilliant. He's
absolutely brilliant. And he's very young
and very smart. And so he's been doing a heck of a lot of good stuff on this too.
Yeah. Well, we, we need them in there because there are no more Howard Zinns.
There are no more Chalmers Johnsons or Matthew Mintz or these people. And
if nobody's looking at 'em, that's real dangerous.
