deep

state

vote for Trump hey Johnny hey py I'm having a hard time understanding this story I have to admit that this concept of the

deep

state

It's been poisoned by politics and Trump uses it for everything he doesn't like and that makes it difficult to seriously address it but I think we have to keep digging like we think there's something here it's the real Deep State it's the real Deep State there's a moment in the '60s where you really like to see how this thing really works where the power really rises to this moment where the US and the Soviet Union are in this sort of massive staring contest, there's nuclear weapons involved, everyone thinks the whole world could be wiped out in this conflict and Cuba is centered right in the middle of it all, off the coast of the US, but they are on the Soviet side of the conflict, the United States right now.

They want nothing more than to take Cuba to make it their own and they have been trying to kill Fidel Castro in a million different ways, they are looking for an excuse to invade and push back. On top of all this, the Soviets began sending nuclear weapons to the island. America has no idea until one day a spy plane is flying over the island and they take this wild photo. I mean, it doesn't look like a wild photo, it just looks like it. like a random field in Cuba, but you get closer and you see canvas tents, trailers, missile launching equipment.

I mean, the US government immediately knows what they're looking at here. The world's most destructive weapons are actually hiding under these tents ready to be launched right in America's backyard right off its coast nuclear war 103 miles away over the past week unequivocal evidence has established the fact that a series of offensive missile sights are now being prepared on that imprisoned island is a crisis a Cuban missile crisis and a man in Washington Suddenly, DC has to make a really difficult decision. Everyone around him wants him to invade Cuba, but he's not sure if it's right, but here's the catch to the whole thing instead of staying at work that night and resolving this crisis with his advisors.

Kennedy gets into a car and drives around town to enjoy a cocktail. He came here, to a house in Georgetown, the home of Joe Alsa, one of the most influential newspaper columnists in the country. It was the eve of nuclear war and the president of the United States had his dinner date in Georgetown and the reason is because at that party were the people he trusted, the people who really had power in Washington during that time, the Most of them lived here in this neighborhood, many of them next to each other, all within a few blocks.

William Colby, the Far East. head of the CIA, would later become the director of the Bolan chip agency, a former ambassador to the Soviet Union, Alan does who, boy, Alan, where does he even begin? He is the longest serving director of the CIA and lived here in Georgetown. Frank Weisner, one of the founding officers of the CIA lived just six blocks away. Felix Frankfurter, a Supreme Court Justice just a couple of minutes walk away, and Kennedy himself had a home in this neighborhood. The reason JFK kept his appointment in Georgetown that night was because this is where the power lies. in Washington he was across town from the capital building the headquarters of American democracy the decisions were made here by unelected men who had an immense amount of secret power these were powerful men who were neither elected nor accountable and at this point' drunk on the worst kind of power, the secret kind of power that corrupts the kind of power our Founders sought to check and balance with all their founding documents, but here at Georgetown had gone beyond anything the designers of the country could have accomplished. we predicted that in a shadowy and separate part of our government, a deep state that was actively blackmailing Congress and working to undermine the president of the United States and being terribly successful at it, unelected deep state agents who defied voters to push their own secret agendas. in the intelligence community they have six ways as of Sunday to get back at you, so even for a practical and supposedly tough businessman, you are really dumb to do this, as far as I know, we don't get involved in murders, kidnappings and other things like that.

I think serious questions need to be raised about some of the foreign policy mistakes this country has made over the last 20 to 25 years. There is some truth to the idea that there is a permanent group of people who continue the work of government as administrations come and go. Is it possible for these entities to leave? Rogue was absolutely the agency involved in the type of internal surveillance that has been portrayed in news reports. My feeling is that it is not right. I'm doing this.

Could you start by introducing yourself to who you are and what you do and what your relationship is to this?

The theme of the CIA story is yes, so my name is Jefferson Morley. I'm a journalist in Washington. I have been a journalist in Washington for the last 40 years. In the old days, spy agencies were a wartime thing when the United States was around. In war, they would establish an international spy operation to better fight that war, and then when the war was over, they would join or get rid of the spy agency entirely. The idea here was that a spy agency was resource-consuming and threatening. civil liberties a lot of power concentrated in a group of unelected people it was worth it during the war it was not worth it during the peace, but then the biggest war of all came to America's Pacific doorstep and changed everything and the bombings for part of the enemy, so now Roosevelt has a license rather a license to do whatever he wants and one of the first things he does is consult with a man named Bill Donovan Wild Bill, a Wall Street corporate lawyer who was obsessed with the power of intelligence.

Donovan had very strong opinions and said you need an intelligence service in times of war you are going to war Wild Bill Donovan would be in charge of the Office of Strategic Services or OSS, a centralized intelligence agency that would be given immense power to do whatever it took to keep our people safe and keep our team on top this was the birth of modern intelligence a euphemism for spy and lie and deceive and sneak and break coerce divide and conquer no idea was too crazy for the OSS during this time as a paramilitary operation by tying explosives to a bunch of bats and unleashing them on Tokyo boys skiing in Nazi-occupied Norway. , creating fake companies, recruiting all his former colleagues on Wall Street, bringing in bankers and movie directors fake radio stations anything to demoralize divide or confuse the enemy the OSS is the first intelligence agency that the United States had and one of the Wild Bill's favorite things were having parties at his house.

Are we the first here? great night to plan and plot your operations with your friends in Georgetown, a neighborhood in Washington DC that is strikingly beautiful here is Bill Donovan's house, it is now worth $17 million, it is beautiful and this is where I would have a drink and chat with other powerful people Washington runners. would recruit new agents from American high society, earning the agency the nickname "oh so social", pretty smart, okay, but remember, remember that spy agencies like this were a wartime thing only and the War ended in 1945 and the OSS was disbanded and Germany's forces surrendered. to the United Nations, what do we do with the OSS now that we are at peace? and Truman says we don't want to risk having an American taste as a political policeman.

What he meant, especially in the context of defeating the Nazis, you know? that's what led our enemies to stay, they had a secret intelligence agency, the gapa, that ended up imposing political norms and imposing tyranny and we don't want, we don't want to risk Harry Truman being here doing the right thing and signing a piece of document that says that the OSS can no longer exist. I mean, Truman was scared and said this was really great for helping us win the war, but this is too much power in the hands of unelected officials who possess secret information, but it was too much.

Putting the genie back in the bottle late would prove to be an impossible task. Is it significant that all these guys live within four blocks of each other in Georgetown? Yes, it is very significant because they are a product of this wartime culture. This is a party that just has to turn out here is the number one goal for the Reds and who's on target, so there was a brief moment after World War II when the Cold War didn't exist, we were at peace, but almost The tension immediately began. arose between these two great empires that had been allies to defeat the Nazis but were now skeptical of each other and the senators suddenly declared that it was impossible to know where the war begins and where it ends the Soviet Union and its agents have destroyed the independence and The democratic character of a whole series of nations in central and eastern Europe and that was when all the Intel people who had run the OSS, many of them who lived in Georgetown, by the way, began to call for the resurrection of the OSS, a centralized intelligence agency that we can use to fight this new global war with the Soviet Union, but I'm not saying that a group of other legislators the Constitution wasn't designed for us to put so much power in the hands of men who are doing secret things.

Doing this will result in a police. power-led state that hogs bureaucrats too much power for military leaders and their insatiable appetite for more money for more men and more power whatever that means for democracy Truman's mindset changed and what Truman's mindset changed was the growing confrontation with the Soviet Union and soon the Documents were signed and a new agency was formed, the Central Intelligence Agency, the CIA, when Truman signs the National Security Act, he says that we have to be careful not to have an American taste , so that thought is still in his mind. The CIA was the United States' big shiny new weapon in the Cold War and its mission was to obtain and distribute intelligence and perform other intelligence-related functions and duties affecting National Security.

What does that mean? Everyone knew what that language meant. Everyone knew what it was. and we just weren't going to talk about it because we didn't want to put it down on paper like what are they doing with this vague Homeland Security Mandate oh wow, they're going to town, you gotta stir up the ingredients for your chocolate cake. It feels so clean but so smooth and fluid.1945 to 1959. The Americans wanted to have Nazi rocket scientists on their side so they could develop their own rocket capability. James Angleton, for example, protects a general under Hitler. The CIA gets involved in the Italian elections. 1948. thumbs up on Italian democracy and making sure we American allies win Operation Asia launches a coup in Iran 1953 the CIA and MI6 organize a coup to overthrow the democratically elected government now that we encourage the Shah to take that action No I will deny it to ciaq Guatemala 195 Banas, of course, bananas again, the democratically elected government reformers wanted to undertake Agrarian Reform and the CIA actually overthrew it at the behest of the United Fruit Company.

The CIA is now helping American corporations. The influence of American corporations on the actions of the CIA is unistable Alan Dallas. was on the board of directors Howard Hunt Burch O'Neal David Phillips CI coup and Congo early 1960s caku in Chile 1973 Las Vegas assassination operation against General Schneider in 1970 coordinated with Kissinger's office thank you, it's a pleasure see them all MK Ultra mind control experiments in 1950 the CIA launches a massive program to develop means of controlling people's minds. About 40 American academic institutions were involved in this type of LSD.To people without their permission we can develop a truth serum by dosing someone with LSD 60 times in a week the nsa operation electronic surveillance Shamrock 1945 to 1975 the first nightmare no warrant with God's pigs b there were hundreds of CIA assassination plots operation Phoenix eventually Bill Colby who was and later the director admitted they had killed 20,000 people Operation Chaos by Mocking Bird Co Watergate Jim Critchfield Frank Weasner James Angleton Roosevelt John Fostery CIA Coup in Indonesia Coup C in Greece CIA involvement in the Guatemalan Civil War was a 20 year CIA crime spree There is no other way to describe it, so in the 1970s the CIA is a powerful well-funded intelligence machine that is doing a lot of secret things around the world and they start blackmailing legislators to scare them away from being investigated and monitored in these agencies. damaging personal information about a lot of people when I was doing my book on Angleton, a guy told me one day when he went to meet Angleton, Angelon quoted to him what he had said to his wife in bed the night before Jesus and that's why they had this capacity. and people knew that they had this ability, you know, the Kennedys knew that Jay Edgar Hoover had information about his affairs with various women.

Happy birthday, the gentleman presided over this type of knowledge they had. Angleton and Hoover were masters at using those kinds of secrets. As leverage, Kennedy had this thing hanging over his head and he knew that Hoover had that on him and then you know he couldn't fire Hoover and a lot of this power is concentrated among a few people, many of them unelected and many of them living right here on these streets in this neighborhood of Georgetown living in fancy houses having fancy cocktails and running the Western world is exactly the nightmare of the founders of the country and the nightmare of President Truman and a month after the assassination of President Kennedy Harry Truman publishes a article in the Washington Post and says the CIA should be abolished wow and says it has tarnished the historical reputation of the United States the man who signed the paper that created this CIA comes out and says he is sorry, eventually Americans begin to wake up to the fact that your government is going off the rails as this war in Vietnam drags on.

More and more Americans are standing up and saying enough of demanding accountability for a National Security apparatus that had gotten out of control and what is the government doing in response? They start spying on the protesters. Operation Chaos was the CIA spying on the anti-movement. the war Johnson calls Dick Helms and says what's going on there, the communists have to be behind this and so they start infiltrating the anti-war movement and they come back in about a year and say: well, you know MOS and the North Vietnamese, they really like this anti-war movement, but it's not controlled by them, it's not funded by them, it's pretty much an American thing, you know? but that doesn't change anything and the chaos continues to grow and finally in 1970 there are 30 officers working on it, hundreds of agents and you know, the ostensible purpose of the chaos is to detect a foreign hand.

I mean, chaos existed for seven years at a time. They were asked to report on it, they came back and said this is not foreign control or foreign funding, which was obvious to anyone who was involved in the anti-war movement, there were a lot of people inside the CIA saying, " We know we are spying on our wives and children, basically, you know they go to protests and we read the reports at night. We shouldn't be doing this. Are we trying to extremize an entire people? What have we become as a nation? ?When we became aware of the fact that these unelected men were wielding too much power and spying not only on the entire world but on Americans themselves, we have been victims of excessive secrecy not only with respect to Congress's inability in the past to exercise power.

Proper oversight of intelligence activities, but also excessive secrecy, have created these types of shenanigans within the executive branch. Senator Frank Church helped lead the charge in taking all of these secrets and excesses and throwing them onto the national stage and shedding light. about them, never before. There has been a full public accounting of the FBI's internal intelligence operations. The American people are learning for the first time how bad this was. 800 witnesses. 10,000 documents. Their secrets were shared. INC. FBI. NSA. Murder conspiracies. Does this gun fire the dart? Yes, he does, President, when he shoots. shoots silently, almost silently, yes, spying on Americans, a completely complete list of everything those people thought or did on any topic you can imagine, they are concerned about attacking people like Martin Luther King Jr and other feminist or rights activists civilians. they were told to attack the new left through disinformation and disinformation anti-war protesters were spied on and intimidated coel Pro is the name of the Bureau's effort to destroy people and organizations or as they use the words disrupt and neutralize the bureau that's how it was In As for sending anonymous letters to Dr.

King and his wife King, there is only one thing left to do. Know what? He has only 34 days to do it. He is already there. What Dr. King interpreted as a suggestion of suicide, didn't we understand it, Senator? The CIA's LSD mind control experiments were also detailed to the public. One of the first things they found were the MK Ultra documents and so were the FBI and CIA's attempts to infiltrate Free Press by planting journalists inside. In our newspapers we would later learn in some investigative reporting that this infiltration of the Free Press was much more widespread than Church even discovered.

It reported that the CIA had paid up to 400 journalists during Operation Mockingbird and there is no doubt that it was In a massive and effective effort, the church committee made a few things clear, first that, in fact, a group of unelected government employees used immense power and resources of the United States government to carry out programs that were illegal, unethical, and generally out of line with American standards. values ​​and norms and they did it in secret, outside of any set of accountability, in part because the US Congress wanted to give them money and turn a blind eye.

I can remember members of Congress who rejected the responsibility of knowing what was happening, members of Congress saying, "Don't tell me I don't want to know." I think it's as harsh an accusation from Congress as any accusation against anyone in the intelligence community when Dulles wanted to get approval for the CIA budget. What you had to do was take a Topline number to the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee and he would tell you this is what we want for this year and the Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee would say, okay, that's it. what you have and please.

You don't tell us anything about what you're doing with it, and therefore there was no internal challenge to this world of CIA people, but there's another thing that's crucial here, which is that when you listen to these hearings you see people who who thought they were doing the right thing who thought they were doing what was necessary to protect the country during a very scary time after a period of 30 years, suddenly you woke up one morning and here was this creature that had been created that no one on the line I had really contemplated each of these steps and I believe that initially they were innocent, honest and honest steps, many of these agents were Sincere Patriots, but they were operating in a system free of accountability and transparency, even within the Deep State there are people who do things for good and altruistic reasons and then there are people who do things for their own selfish or bad reasons and you know exactly how many there are in each category, you know, it's something impossible to delineate.

I got caught up when I should have known better and where many other smarter and more sophisticated people have been absorbed into other areas, so after the church committee comes all kinds of new oversight regulations, new committees are formed, there are new regulations and suddenly the intelligence community now finally has some kind of oversight the deep state reigned now they did fight the church was undermined and intimidated by these agencies CIA people I mean they hated Frank Church Jim Angleton was going around and saying that Frank Church was a KGB agent dick Helms raged against him Kissinger couldn't I don't think American intelligence was opening up, on the other hand, the Americans were saying, Oh my God, this is what was being done in our name, but Overall this is a story of American democracy doing what it is supposed to do and reigning in the worst impulses of humans with power and in the process avoiding disaster for at least a few decades one of you is about to be elected leader of the most powerful nation in the world, have they formed any guiding principles for wielding this enormous power when it comes to foreign affairs? politics that will be my guiding question: is it in the interest of our nation? peace in the Middle East it is in our nation's interest to have a hemisphere that is free for trade some very, very sketchy details that reach us here at Sky Center a new threat and a new call to empower spies and professional bureaucrats to keep us safe by doing secret things and by passing the Patriot Act we will make America safer while safeguarding our civil liberties and privacy and then of course new agencies all with variations of the same name 911 is kind of like Pearl Harbor there is this wish, you know we have been attacked, anything goes, we have to fight back, this is an existential struggle and the same spirit of the early Cold War, anything goes, returning in a big way after 9/11 and the CIA. seeks or asserts without being controlled all kinds of powers that had not been exercised before implementing the torture program massively expands warrantless wiretapping the kind of things we had seen Angleton do in the chaos those exact same techniques are revived and expanded after 9/11 you know, on a large scale, taxpayers funneling money into millions of new top secret jobs. 22 capital buildings of new office space springing up around this area where I live to house all these new secrets and within them cascades of new programs.

There are so many programs with strange names that no leader could ever hear of, much less regulate them all, there is not much effective oversight over something that has become so big and so dense and none of it should be known to the public. Until now. someone who is worried about history repeating itself decides to tell the truth our breaking news tonight is the identity of the man who sent the Obama administration to defend and explain this week his name is Edward Snowden he is a former employee and technician American CIA computer scientist today came out as the leaker of classified NSA documents explaining a secret South and we're all wondering what if we really needed this now, what if we needed all these dark windows and top secret PowerPoint decks where they design how are?

They are going to spy on us, what if our safety depends on what happens inside all these buildings, so we continue to fund them, but in doing so we must at least acknowledge what we are doing here? We are trading a portion of our freedom for a sense of security, and in the process we are creating and nurturing a kind of new branch of our governmental power, one that operatesoutside of this elegant triangle that the founders constructed to trip up corrupting forces that risk always possessing men with secret powers. power, almost everyone agrees that there is excessive classification, there is too much classified information, but information is power and the fewer people have it, the more power the people who have it have and the result is that when man more The most powerful man in the world arrives at the most powerful house in the world promising Rin all this to control the excesses, in reality he discovers that he cannot, is not able to change much of that, instead he sits there and observes many of the things he criticizes.

He grows under the supervision of what he is supposed to control and discovers that he does not have much control over these attacks directed against Al-Qaeda terrorists are in fact ethical and just. Secrets keep us safe, but secrets also degrade this delicate thing of ours. It's called democracy and accountability, that is, until we are saved from their eternal and seductive poll, the United States must not adopt the tactics of the enemy. The means are as important as the ends.
