“Moscow Points Out
Faults in US Version on Damascus Dropping Sarin Bomb in Idlib Syria”
Note that when a Director of CIA asserts anything,
thoughtful people only listen to learn how facts are being twisted, not to
learn any facts.
We know, since Director Helms' testimony after Kennedy's
assassination, that lying under oath is something the CIA is allowed. He said
so. So even in affairs of great internal importance, the CIA can lie if it
believes it serves its purposes.
Moreover, we know that the real activity of great parts of
the CIA - the operations division - is not collecting facts about the world to
inform the American government but sowing discord in disliked countries and
manipulating internal affairs in other countries.
CIA is a “dirty tricks” and manipulation outfit, much like
Mossad, although they tend to minimize that big part of their job in their public
relations. They do everything from manipulating the elections of others and
giving pay-offs to cooperative foreign politicians to organizing coups and
assassinations and dealing in drugs.
Nothing prevents their carrying the same set of assumptions
and attitudes over into the internal affairs of the United States, except a law
forbidding their internal operations.
But we know to a certainty that that law was ignored in the
past – for example, CIA long opened any domestic letters and parcels it wanted
to – and the truth is, if you are permitted to lie under oath and you
manipulate things as everyday work in other countries, any mere law cannot control
your behavior at home.
There can be little question that the same tricks employed
abroad come to be employed in domestic affairs.
