Reply #72: Perhaps in the analysts sections [View All]

These are the people who know why we have a public relations problem in the third world (and now everywhere) and who couldn't see the alleged rationale or benefits of invading Iraq. The analysts are the front that the CIA and the other agencies present to the public, these people are on the up and up and do great work. They also have no real power.

But the agents and operatives, who permeate the government, media and business are for the most part entirely venal. The intelligence community is completely unaccountable to anyone and absolutely corrupt according to the rule of human nature. There is absolutely no "oversight" or check on their interminable schemes to convert assets, topple governments (including our own), oppress and exploit peoples and resources and amass greater wealth and power. The justice/FBI operates as a clean up crew for the covert domestic operations, like the anthrax job and 911, narcotraffic, and bank rip offs.


The current American government has more in common with the politics of ancient pyramidal civilizations than a democracy. There is a small ruling class on the top unaccountable to anyone, operating secretly while churning out mythology 24/7. I am reminded of Cortes descriptions of the Aztecs with whom he competed in butchery and duplicity.
