    Yup, it was on shaky ground before, nevermind that a pedo and his group of cronies have had two years to destroy nearly everything and stack the deck in their favor.

      two years to destroy nearly everything

      Half the period has passed, and he is about half finished to make it everything.
      It’s insane that Americans allowed Trump to become president! 😵‍💫

          Absolutely, USA has become a rogue nation, with a democracy that can’t be trusted.

          I don’t think it’s CIA, it’s the 1% through think tanks and weirdo political interest groups like Americans for Prosperity, and American media also being owned by the 1%.
          Republicans by the way has become one of those weirdo interest groups supported by the 1%.

              It was Truman, and the reason was to continue war time intelligence gathering in peace time.
              I don’t see any reason to be particular suspicious about the original motivation for it.
              The problem is that CIA has increased the political paranoia, and USA having the CIA has normalized similar intelligence agencies around the world.

              But absolute I agree, that today CIA is very far from serving the majority of the population, but has become a part of the industrial complex and serving the interests of the 1%.

                OSS was pre Truman and the Dulles brothers were a big part of Paperclip, staffing was done from the upper class north east colleges, etc.

                IMO CIA went rouge and has been calling the shots for a while, the end of JFK was the start of their control. USA has been a sham for 60 years.
