taught in school 0:04 is inherently dishonest 0:07 beneath the surface of the decades long Cold War 0:09 between the United States and the Soviet Union 0:12 was a drawn out hot war 0:14 between the western capitalist elite class 0:16 and the poor peasant masses of the post colonial world 0:20 as a Second World War came to an end 0:22 millions of former colonial subjects 0:24 fought for their right to autonomy prosperity and independence 0:28 from their previous imperial overlords 0:30 this clash between the landless masses of the global south 0:34 and the bourgeois elites in Washington DC, New York, London and Paris 0:38 was fought sometimes overtly but often in the shadows 0:42 throughout the second half of the 20th century 0:44 and into the present day 0:46 while the USSR in the United States 0:48 pointed increasingly large nuclear weapons at each other 0:51 and shot rockets into space 0:53 a different, yet intrinsically linked war 0:55 for the hearts and minds of the colonial world was at play 0:59 however the United States and its western allies 1:01 had a secret weapon in this fight 1:03 that they would continue to improve and hone throughout the struggle 1:07 that being the Central Intelligence Agency 1:10 folks, welcome to the Cold War 1:12 and welcome back to the history of the CIA 1:16 if this is your first time joining us on this series 1:18 I want to welcome you 1:20 I make all my videos as standalone products 1:23 as a new viewer, I recommend you watch this part first 1:26 especially as we are entering a new chapter of our series 1:29 if you enjoy the video and how I present information 1:32 the previous parts will always be there 1:34 and will hopefully be equally as enjoyable 1:37 today we are starting a new chapter in our story 1:39 with the creation of the Central Intelligence Agency 1:43 in the previous three parts 1:44 we covered the history of the wartime predecessor to the CIA 1:48 the office of Strategic Services 1:50 their collaboration with Nazis in Europe 1:52 organized crime in China and Harlem and the beginning of Operation Gladio 1:57 the future plans for a shadow anti communist army in Western Europe 2:02 as always in every video 2:03 I cite all my sources 2:05 when a number pops up at the top of the screen 2:07 like this you can find a matching bibliographic citation in the description 2:12 I have a lot to cover today 2:13 as we look at the global 2:14 cultural environment that LED to the birth of the CIA 2:17 and how the Central Intelligence Agency was finally created 2:20 with little regard for its troubling future 2:23 let's begin 2:25 I will do my level best 2:27 to stand up for freedom and democracy around the world 2:30 by keeping the United States of America strong 2:34 and by keeping our eyes wide open 2:36 as we welcome change in the world 2:39 by keeping our eyes wide open Chapter One: The Three Worlds 2:47 since the majority of our series will be taking place during the Cold War 2:50 the years roughly between 1947 and 1991 2:54 I want to use today's video to 2:56 outline some fundamental dynamics of the Cold War 2:59 and cover a few misconceptions about this 3:01 often misunderstood and misrepresented period 3:04 at least where I am from 3:05 we are taught in high school 3:07 and in most establishment documentary sources 3:09 that the Cold War was essentially an era of long troubled peace 3:13 between the two global superpowers 3:15 the capitalist United States and the communist Soviet Union 3:19 very little attention is given to the constant state of active conflict 3:23 throughout the rest of the world 3:25 this series will take a very different approach 3:28 from this traditional narrative 3:30 by looking through the lens of the CIA's activities 3:32 from the 1940s to the 1990s 3:35 a different picture emerges 3:37 this period of relative peace between great powers 3:40 becomes an era of innumerable bloodshed and struggle 3:43 between the western capitalists and the emerging countries of the developing world 3:48 I believe that learning the history of the Cold War through this viewpoint 3:52 helped me better understand the world we live in today 3:55 I hope that this will do the same for you as well 3:59 at the end of the Second World War 4:00 the globe could be broadly divided into three major camps 4:04 the first camp or the First World 4:07 as it was known at the time 4:08 was made up of the capitalist Western European countries 4:11 and their settler colonial states in North America 4:14 specifically, Canada and the United States 4:17 by the 1950s, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea 4:20 would all join this arrangement as well 4:23 this grouping of states had gotten exceedingly rich 4:25 through global colonialism over the previous four centuries 4:29 extracting the wealth from their global empires 4:31 be it minerals, cash crops such as tea and tobacco 4:35 or as discussed in the last part 4:37 opium, as well as lumber, rubber slaves, and most recently, oil 4:42 these commodities were then shipped 4:44 to the colonial homelands 4:46 where the industrial capabilities to transform these resources were established 4:50 this practice created a clear division 4:53 between the poor exploited colonial residents 4:55 that work to extract raw materials 4:57 almost solely to the benefit of their colonial rulers 5:01 then, the slightly less poor and more comfortable western working class 5:05 that work to transform the colonial resources into consumer goods 5:09 and finally, the western capitalist elite 5:12 the business owners, lawyers, stock traders, shipping magnets and power brokers 5:17 that owned the productive capabilities 5:19 and profited massively from this whole system 5:22 as we've made clear in past episodes 5:24 most of the early CIA men were from this upper crust of the First World 5:29 throughout the CIA's history 5:30 its directors and agents would continue to be pulled from Wall Street 5:34 elite law firms, and multinational corporations 5:37 that benefited massively from the open door system 5:40 left behind by global colonialism 5:42 take for example Allen Dulles 5:44 who worked at his brother John Foster Dulles's elite Wall Street law firm 5:47 Sullivan & Cromwell 5:49 Sullivan & Cromwell 5:50 represented such clients as United Fruit and the Anglo Iranian Oil Company 5:54 unsurprisingly 5:55 these conflicts of interest would manifest themselves in covert operations 5:59 and illegal meddling abroad 6:01 at the behest of these massive companies 6:04 the CIA would be lobbied by United Fruit to overthrow 6:06 the left wing government of Guatemalan President 6:09 Yacobo Arbens in 1954 6:11 Allen Dulles, the director of the CIA under Eisenhower 6:14 and John Foster Dulles, the secretary of state 6:16 in the same administration 6:18 worked to overthrow the democratically elected government of Arbenz 6:21 and replaced him with a brutal western friendly dictator 6:24 this was one year after the CIA toppled 6:27 the democratically elected government of Muhammad Mozadek in Iran 6:30 at the request of the British government 6:32 and Anglo Iranian Oil Company 6:34 once again, United Fruit and Anglo Iranian 6:37 were both Sullivan & Cromwell clients 6:39 the worlds of the western elite and the CIA 6:41 were for the most of its history intrinsically linked 6:44 with both parties 6:45 pulling from each other's ranks 6:47 George H W Bush, for example 6:49 was the president of a global oil company called Zapata Oil 6:53 among other business ties 6:54 before he became director of CIA in the 1970s 6:57 William Casey, director of CIA under Reagan 7:00 was a partner at the elite corporate law firm 7:02 Hall Casey Dickler and Howley, before his tenure 7:06 this is but a very short list of 7:07 the deep ties between the CIA and the American elite business class 7:12 the reason I put so much emphasis on this point 7:14 is because this interplay between 7:15 American capital and the Central Intelligence Agency 7:18 let to countless illegal and undemocratic operations abroad 7:22 largely in the developing world but also in Europe 7:25 and even, as alleged by some, domestically in the United States 7:29 throughout this series I will continue to point out 7:31 the conflicts of interest 7:32 and the business dealings of relevant CIA figures 7:35 to continue to paint this picture 7:36 of the true motives of America's spy agency 7:39 The Second World on the other hand in 1945 7:42 consisted of the Soviet Union 7:43 and the new Eastern Bloc states that occupied in Eastern Europe 7:47 following the fall of Nazi Germany 7:49 as previously mentioned 7:51 traditional histories of the Cold War 7:53 focus almost entirely on the cold conflict 7:56 between the USSR and NATO 7:58 through nuclear posturing 8:00 proxy wars and moments of diplomacy 8:03 for the purposes of this series 8:04 and as I will explain in depth throughout this part 8:07 the competition between the first and Second World 8:09 will not feature very prominently in this series 8:13 at least not in the traditional sense 8:15 the real point of interest for the burgeoning CIA 8:18 was the Third World 8:20 the Third World was essentially 8:21 every country that was still under colonial rule 8:24 or had previously been under western colonial rule 8:27 at the war's end 8:28 this represented nearly two thirds of the globe's population in 1945 8:33 throughout the Cold War 8:34 the colonized world would fight a bitter struggle 8:37 against their former colonial overlords 8:39 for autonomy and the right to choose their own destiny 8:43 the right to control their natural resources 8:45 and the choice on how to organise their society 8:48 in 1945 however 8:50 most of the Third World remained 8:51 under direct European or American control 8:55 India, parts of the Middle East, and large swaths of Africa 8:58 remained under the British 9:00 Indochina, Syria and much of the rest of Africa 9:03 was still French 9:05 Indonesia remained in the control of the Dutch 9:07 and the Philippines remained under American control 9:10 this would not be a sustainable system however 9:13 as colonial resentment, nationalism and Marxism 9:16 spread throughout the global south 9:18 furthermore, the Soviet Union 9:20 and later Mao's China and Castro's Cuba 9:23 were vocal supporters of the decolonization of the west's former colonies 9:27 giving moral and at times material support 9:29 to these causes 9:31 these tensions between former colonial overlords 9:34 and the exploited peasantry of the Third World 9:36 is where the Cold War became a hot war 9:39 and where the CIA would be used as a tool of neo colonial subjugation 9:43 and western capital Chapter Two: Red Planet 9:48 during this period of colonial unease 9:50 the rise of global socialism 9:52 was the western elite class's worst nightmare 9:55 Marxist rhetoric of class warfare and redistribution of wealth 9:59 left serious anxiety with the rapacious global corporations 10:03 that had been ruthlessly exploiting the postcolonial states for the past century 10:08 the idea of forgoing these insane profits was untenable 10:11 to the American, British and French ruling elites 10:15 Marxism was also a natural fit in the decolonized states 10:18 as the people living under this arrangement 10:20 were some of the most exploited people on the planet 10:23 soon after the end of the Second World War, in 1949 10:27 Mao Zedong's People's Liberation Army in China 10:30 inspired countless colonial peasants across the globe 10:33 as he armed farmers and laborers 10:35 against the western backed nationalists of Shangkai Shek 10:39 this peasant revolution rang alarm bells in the halls of power across the west 10:43 as it made it clear how effective grassroots insurgencies could be 10:47 at toppling unpopular western backed governments 10:50 it is important to note here 10:52 a fact that is often overlooked in today's conversations about the Cold War 10:57 communism as a global force 10:59 was an idea that needed to be actively fought 11:02 and destroyed by the western elite class 11:04 as it posed an existential threat to their existence 11:08 inherent in Marxism is the redistribution of wealth 11:11 and most scary to the western capitalists, was land reform 11:15 wherein the new nationalist or Marxist government seized all foreign owned land 11:20 and redistributed to the people within that society 11:23 essentially cutting off the western middleman 11:26 this was a devastating prospect 11:28 for the western oil firms 11:30 mining firms and agricultural corporations, such as United Fruit 11:34 which ran their Central American and Caribbean plantations 11:36 like feudal kingdoms 11:38 communism was untenable for these corporations 11:41 that had deep political power 11:43 within the institutions of the west 11:46 another ideology that was rising across the world, was nationalism 11:51 contrary to popular depictions of the Cold War 11:53 not all Third World revolutionary leaders 11:56 were Marxists in the early Cold War 11:58 actually quite the opposite 12:00 these states, these national states 12:02 were prominent throughout the Cold War 12:04 embracing a third way 12:06 outside of the communist-capitalist paradigm 12:08 that was laid out by the superpowers 12:11 these states decided to work both sides 12:13 and try to create their own destiny 12:15 in the 1960s countries such as Egypt, Indonesia, India 12:19 and the Democratic Republic of the Congo 12:21 would form the Non Aligned Movement 12:23 an anti colonial movement of states that work to maintain autonomy 12:27 and remain neutral in the growing Cold War 12:30 this however, was still untenable to the CIA 12:33 and their elite benefactors 12:34 as nationalists believed equally in the dreaded land reform 12:38 that we mentioned earlier 12:40 therefore a cycle began to form 12:42 that would repeat again and again across the globe 12:45 as we'll see in the series 12:47 where nationalist leaders will be pushed by the CIA 12:50 to embrace Marxism 12:52 due to harsh and often violent opposition from the west 12:56 these states will be forced to gain support 12:57 from communist states such as the Soviet Union and China 13:01 to complete their revolution 13:03 so in turn 13:05 most of the CIA's activities throughout the Cold War 13:08 were not directly aimed at the Soviet Union 13:10 or undermining the activities of Communist China 13:13 they were aimed at manipulating global circumstances 13:16 to ensure that western capital 13:18 remained in firm control of the Global South's wealth 13:22 this is a bit of a spoiler 13:23 to the end of the Cold War here 13:25 but they largely succeeded in this goal 13:27 as you will see throughout this series 13:29 the main battlefields of the Cold War 13:31 were not Berlin or Moscow 13:33 they were in the global south 13:35 and this would be a dirty war 13:36 full of trickery, crime and injustice 13:39 so with all that laid out 13:42 let's discuss the creation of the CIA 13:44 and the passing of one of the most significant pieces of legislation 13:48 in American history, the National Security Act of 1947 Chapter Three: From OSS to CIA 13:57 after Truman ordered the dropping of 13:58 the nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki 14:01 in August 1945, Japan agreed to unconditional surrender 14:06 and the world's six year long nightmare was over 14:09 only two weeks after the wars end 14:11 President Harry Truman ordered the OSS 14:14 the USS wartime spy agency 14:16 to largely disband, leaving only a few agents in key European locations 14:21 Dulles, Donovan, Angleton and all the other OSS boys 14:25 went back to their now seemingly boring desk jobs 14:28 in the upper crust of American society 14:30 Colonel William Donovan's days as the leader of American intelligence were over 14:35 and this mostly marks his departure from our series 14:38 although, as we will see 14:39 Donovan remained intimately connected to the future CIA 14:43 through his help in creating shell companies 14:45 to help funnel illegal funds to Gladio forces across Europe 14:49 as I mentioned in previous parts 14:51 CIA agents rarely retire from their intelligence roles 14:54 they simply shift into other useful business 14:57 for Wild Bill, this was the case 14:59 but for now, we say goodbye to this character 15:01 his influence in helping save Nazis from Nuremberg 15:05 will be remembered 15:06 between the dissolution of the OSS in 1945 15:09 and the creation of the CIA in 1947 15:12 there was a transition period 15:14 President Truman was very reluctant to create a peace time intelligence agency 15:18 due in part to his Liberal leanings 15:21 Truman feared that creating an operating agency 15:23 that had unlimited power 15:25 to conduct illegal operations across the globe 15:27 was potentially dangerous to American and global democracy 15:31 however pressure for the creation of a new spy agency 15:34 came to him from all ends of the security state 15:37 firstly the FBI proposed their bid 15:40 to undertake the new spying functions 15:41 of the US government abroad 15:44 under their authoritarian director J Edgar Hoover 15:46 the FBI had formed a strong 15:48 domestic intelligence network in the United States 15:51 spying on leftists and subverting political action on American soil 15:56 allegedly, Hoover forever cunning 15:58 actively sabotage the creation 16:00 of a civilian intelligence agency 16:02 by doctoring a report that was delivered to Harry Truman 16:05 outlining the OSS activities during the war as largely ineffective 16:10 of course he wasn't wrong 16:12 but he was clearly just trying to persuade the president 16:15 to give him ultimate control of the agency 16:17 so this isn't exactly a noble move on his part 16:20 J Edgar Hoover will continue to have a mixed relationship 16:23 with the future CIA 16:25 as we will explore in the next parts 16:26 when we uncover the shadowy blackmail network 16:29 that tied both agencies together 16:31 but that's for another day 16:33 The Joint Chiefs of staff at the Pentagon also argued 16:36 that they should become the sole proprietor of American intelligence 16:39 as they already had an international foothold 16:42 and were already conducting global espionage 16:44 under their military intelligence branch of the Pentagon 16:47 an organization that will continue to rub shoulders of the CIA 16:50 throughout its history 16:52 ultimately the former OSS men won this arms race 16:56 for the future of American intelligence 16:58 after several meetings with former OSS agents 17:01 on January 24th, 1946 Truman reluctantly created 17:06 the Central Intelligence Group under the War Department 17:09 a very short lived agency 17:11 with minor authority to conduct international activities 17:15 apparently Truman created the CIG 17:16 to simply provide him with a daily intelligence brief 17:20 little did he know 17:21 that he had opened the door for the development of the future CIA 17:24 and all its ensuing operations 17:27 The Central Intelligence Group 17:28 attempted to leverage its limited powers to act against global communism 17:32 but largely failed to make any real impact 17:35 their first operation took place in Romania 17:38 where they attempted to mobilize an irrelevant right wing party 17:41 known as the National Peasant Party 17:43 to resist the Soviet Union and create a western aligned state in Romania 17:47 the OSS had created a small network of anti communist 17:50 allies in Romania during the war 17:53 due to the efforts of Wild Bill Donovan 17:55 and another important figure of the early CIA, Frank Wisner 17:59 wizner or just Wiz for short 18:01 was the charming son of a rich Mississippi landowner 18:04 in the Jim Crow South 18:06 he came from an incredibly privileged background 18:09 as did many of his other colleagues 18:11 but he allegedly didn't even dress himself as a child 18:14 instead he would just lay on the bed 18:16 and let a servant dress him for him 18:19 Wisner attended a prestigious private school 18:21 and went to the university of Virginia 18:23 where he was a part of the mysterious secret society of seven 18:27 this society remains so secret 18:29 the names of its members 18:30 are only revealed upon their death 18:33 secret societies will play a crucial role in future CIA operations 18:37 as shadowy forums for backroom deals 18:39 and liaisons between organized crime 18:42 and legitimate figures of the security state 18:45 Wiz graduated from college with a law degree 18:47 and like so many other future CIA agents 18:50 joined a white collared law firm on Wall Street 18:53 Wisner was the OSS station chief in Romania during the war 18:56 where he helped organize a small 18:58 community of German fascists into an anti Communist stay behind force 19:03 to fight the future Soviet invasion 19:06 Wizner's stay behind organization in Romania 19:08 foreshadowed the future Operation Gladio 19:11 that would place fascist paramilitary cells across Western Europe 19:14 to fight communists 19:16 despite his best efforts to combat Romanian communists 19:19 wizarders networks were completely wasted by the Central Intelligence Group 19:23 as once they were activated in Soviet occupied territory 19:26 they were quickly rounded up by Russian intelligence agents 19:28 and sent to the gulags 19:30 to add to the failure 19:31 the CIGS misstep LED to a quicker official integration of Romania 19:36 into the Soviet Union by Stalin 19:38 fearing more subversive activity in the territory 19:41 The Central Intelligence Group did provide 19:43 one important lesson to the future CIA 19:46 there existed a massive gap in intelligence experience 19:50 and capabilities between the Americans and the Soviets 19:53 at this time 19:54 especially given Stalins repressive and omnipresent reach 19:58 throughout the USSR 20:00 The Soviet Union had been running their secret agency Cheka 20:03 the predecessor of the KGB since 1917 20:06 and had become masters at counter intelligence 20:09 comparatively to the relatively new American intelligence apparatus 20:12 that had only been in effect since 1941 20:15 throughout the Cold War 20:17 American covert operations behind the Iron Curtain 20:19 would be mostly futile 20:21 which LED the agency to fighting the advance of communism 20:24 on other fronts around the world instead Chapter Four: The National Security Act 20:29 under the CIGS second director Air Marshal Hoyt Vandenberg 20:34 the agency would be reformed into the CIA of today 20:37 but not without the help of the venerable Allen Dulles 20:40 while the CIG failed to subvert the Soviet Union in Europe 20:44 our old pal Allen Dulles 20:45 was working hard at his former law firm 20:47 Sullivan & Cromwell on Wall Street 20:49 although on paper 20:50 Allen Dulles was working as a lawyer during this period 20:53 he did continue to liais with his former OSS colleagues 20:57 to plot the course of the future CIA 20:59 he and Wild Bill Donovan created a work plan for the future agency 21:03 in the years of 1946 and 1947 21:07 he was also elected as the president of the council of Foreign Relations in 1945 21:12 a powerful think tank of former army men, business leaders and politicians 21:17 that work to preserve American supremacy across the globe 21:21 Dulles did not retire from spy craft after the war 21:24 he was simply on a hiatus 21:26 these efforts to remain intimately connected to the post war security state 21:30 paid off massively, when in 1947 21:33 Dulles was called forward by the Senate Armed Services Committee 21:36 to lay out the architecture of the future CIA 21:40 the outline he devised was largely based on Wild Bill Donovan's dreams 21:44 a highly funded top secret unaccountable agency 21:48 that could operate globally without any limitations 21:52 the report was presented to Truman in 1947 21:54 and after years of constant lobbying by the FBI 21:58 the Pentagon and former OSS agents 22:00 he finally agreed to the proposal 22:03 coincidentally 22:05 or maybe not so coincidentally 22:07 1947 was also the year that Truman declared his famous Truman Doctrine 22:12 where he officially positioned the United States 22:14 as an overt enemy of communism across the globe 22:18 he stated to Congress in March 1947 22:21 while requesting military aid to anti communist forces in Greece 22:25 quote I believe that it must be 22:27 the policy of the United States to support free people 22:30 who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities 22:33 or by outside pressure 22:35 and with the utterance of these words the Cold War had begun 22:40 Truman's words about freedom and fighting for the oppressed 22:43 sounded really nice on the surface 22:45 but as we will see in the next part of the series 22:48 these words would manifest themselves immediately 22:51 in the support of fascist paramilitaries 22:53 and a deeply unpopular monarchist government in post war Greece 22:57 Truman could not simply create the Central Intelligence Agency 23:01 out of thin air though, he needed congressional approval 23:04 so in June 1947 a congressional committee was convened 23:08 and Allen Dulles was brought into DC to present the proposal 23:11 at this point with the rise of the Red Scare 23:14 and the encroachment of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe 23:16 the US government was looking for any way 23:19 to subvert the spread of socialism across the globe 23:22 so in 1947 Truman signed the grotesque National Security Act 23:27 which I consider to be up there with the Patriot Act 23:29 as one of the most devastating pieces of legislation for American civil liberties 23:34 The National Security Act of 1947, created firstly 23:38 the National Security Council 23:39 a new direct line between the White House and the Joint Chiefs of staff 23:44 essentially further blurring the lines between the political arena 23:47 and the military 23:48 but also adding an extra layer of fog 23:51 between military decision making 23:53 furthermore, it also created the secretary of defence position 23:57 which unified all military branches under one civilian leader 24:02 the act also created the US Air Force 24:04 which had previously been under the army 24:06 with good old General Vandenburg 24:08 the leader of the Central Intelligence Group as its new leader 24:11 and finally, the National Security Act 24:14 included the creation of the Central Intelligence Agency 24:18 an independent civilian intelligence agency 24:21 with an operating budget a staff and a global reach 24:28 and just like that, with the signing of one act 24:31 President Truman created one of the most influential 24:34 and damaging organizations in the modern world 24:38 the CIA would be able to conduct 24:39 illegal regime change operations 24:42 political assassinations, coups and all sorts of other immoral acts 24:47 due to 11 words in the National Security Act 24:50 nowhere does the OC prescribe the 24:52 outright authority to conduct a ny of these operations 24:55 but it does include 11 innocuous words 24:58 that would define the CIA's mandate until the present day 25:02 the act firstly 25:03 allows the CIA to correlate evaluate and disseminate intelligence 25:07 which is all very standard intelligence work 25:09 but it's what comes next that is very problematic 25:12 on top of those functions 25:14 the National Security Act allows the CIA to perform quote 25:18 other functions and duties related to intelligence 25:22 affecting national security 25:24 these 11 words 25:26 that do not define anything in particular 25:28 would form the legal basis for 25:31 all the activities we will be covering in this series 25:33 all the illegal coups, assassinations drug smuggling, blackmail and extortion 25:39 would be covered by this vague and unassuming passage 25:43 and all this illegal activity started in Greece in 1947 25:48 where a brutal civil war was unfolding between communists and monarchists 25:52 and this is where the CIA operated for the first time 25:57 and we will cover this in the next part of this series 26:00 and that's all I've got for today folks 26:02 so thank you so much for watching it 26:04 the full way through 26:05 if you made it this far and you enjoyed the content 26:08 please give me a thumbs up 26:09 leave any thought you have in the comments below 26:11 I try to read every comment and respond in the best way I can 26:16 so thank you so much as always you know 26:18 subscribing goes a long way as well 26:20 keeps you notified when new videos comes out 26:23 and I try to upload 26:24 I've been uploading every two weeks 26:26 and I think that's been a pretty good schedule for me so far 26:29 as I previously mentioned 26:30 we're gonna be covering the Greek civil war 26:32 which is the first CIA operation that's officially on the books 26:35 and we might also cover a bit more Gladio stuff 26:37 I know I told you guys 26:39 that I would cover some Vatican stuff in this part 26:41 I just really didn't have the the time for it in this video 26:44 I try not to exceed 30 minutes and that's really a big topic 26:47 so if we have time next week with Greece 26:49 I'll try to cover all the other 26:50 sort of early gladiovatic and stuff 26:52 I promise um 26:53 but I can't promise anything so we'll see 26:55 um that being said 26:56 thank you so much for watching this full way through 26:58 and as always you know, this is the history of the CIA 27:01 and remember to always keep your eyes wide 27:04 open take care

UNDERHILL at 1:15:00 Georgetown Set walking tour- https://rumble.com/v6vczed-georgetown-set-tour-jfkthumbnailalger-hiss-wild-bill-donovan-joe-allsopdes-.html Lectures on the Georgetown Set- https://rumble.com/v6vcku7-gregg-herken-on-the-georgetown-set-at-politics-and-prose-swamp-bookstore.html https://rumble.com/v6vclu9-gregg-herken-on-the-georgetown-set-at-world-affairs-council-washington-dc.html The Point of these Georgetown Set posts is it was these ivy league progressives who fancied themselves as Cold Warriors (after being denounced by McCarthy as communists) and ran the anti-communist ops and wars which was basically just imperialism. From what I can piece together, when McCarthy called them communists, Wisner's ace up his sleeve was Operation Mockingbird and they ruined McCarthy with it. Alternatively, J Edgar Hoover who was leaking McCarthy the names to accuse, may have set him up for the fall after McCarthy broke their agreement and revealed Hoover as his source. https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKgeorgetown.htm https://wikispooks.com/iframeDocs/OperationMockingbird/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/44-years-later-a-washington-dc-death-unresolved-93263961/ The point is there was no war on communism, communism in Russia was an experiment run by our own govt and the people behind it, sending tech, sending info, building factories and farms, it was the Bonesmen/Illuminati. A JBS series on YT says they were the real face behind the mask of communism and before the Jacobinism (French Revolution). So the Cold War was this thing where they'd prop up one side and use it to pull money out of the other side, back and forth until the USSR collapsed. https://rumble.com/playlists/CfXd7qfZ1gc If you scroll through these reposts they should give you a good idea of the global hierarchy: https://rumble.com/c/govsimulation/reposts

Original CIA

Tremendous videos. Earlier vids that I've seen from this guy are not at this level. This gets into the Georgetown Set which no one ever talks about besides John Simkins (Spartacus site). They were the old aristocracy who ran the State Dpt then CIA. My view is they rode McCarthy's(/Hoover's) coattails and posed as anti-communists but they were not. Hoover accused them-through McCarthy-in the Army trials before someone decided McCarthy's 15 minutes were over. It was probably Hoover, who fed him the names under agreement to keep that a secret, but he gave up Hoover in the Army hearings. But it was these guys whom Hoover accused of being communists who ran the anti-communist operations in Europe & the Americas. They also ran the anti-anti-communist ops in the USA! So they were running both sides of the war on communism hoax.

Companion pieces for Col Watkins and to introduce the next one, Mafia Allies & the Global Drug Connection (a better episode). Ep.1 is here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhbY_Tr5AY4&list=PLzmYhqF9BgKPJSNcbIAHj7HSPIsuT_PTW&index=1 I dont think it's worth watching, JMO, the summary here is enough and like he says these are supposed to stand alone. These are somewhat sympathetic to communism but I think that's just a product of the education system everyone got their start in. 1,322,925 views Apr 5, 2023 #ww2 #documentary #ushistory "Welcome back to the History of the CIA.

So much good info here, I'll have to listen again and then Ill post notes. But I will say this about Col Watkins, as much as she points out the communism-fascism hoax, which on a certain level it is, she puts the communist threat in that box with the hoax and downplays it, but she doesn't do that with fascism. It seems to me that she has that backwards.

#Eustace Mullins #Antony Sutton More focused on Stalin's side but the message gets across. Trotskyism, the other wing of communism came into the Republican party from Sen Henry Jackson office, actual communist democrats calling themselves conservatives in the 70s, 80s who took over Buckley's movement completely. Communism-vs-capitalism is a scam in the sense of who's funding it but there are true believers getting the funding, Trotsky for example. It's hard to unpack any of it without getting something else wrong. But Neocons and Dems were just Trotskyists and Stalinists. The Cold War from the US side was mostly Trotskyists fighting Stalinists while posing as anti-communists. Not sure on Mullins theory it was all about Israel. That could be part of it. The guy who talks in the middle is Jay Dyer, not a legend like the other two just a guy who researches this, & gives some important names like Burnham, Rand Corp, Michael Lind, permanent revolution (Trotsky)/permanent cold war (Burnham), managerial elite (Burnham), global revolution (Trotsky-Burnham). Podhoretz who Mullins quotes admitting the Cold War as a scam is a one of the fathers of the neocon con.
