I’ve made the point multiple times that the function of the CIA wasn’t new. Everything the CIA did after 1948 was done prior but at the risk of being arrested and tried for crimes. The whole idea of the CIA was to continue doing the illegal operations but under the protection of the US government with a NATIONAL SECURITY stamp or get out of jail free card to provide protection and give them authority of the state.
Minions, all around the world. The question might be - where do the orders originate? What entity is really in charge?
