CIA Insider Ray McGovern on The Politics Of Telling Hard Truths

Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern spills the beans on the drift of a CIA that no longer knows what the truth, is let alone how to say it. It's important to remember that the CIA had no prior knowledge of the collapse of the Soviet Union as it's in their interest like the Pentagon to be in a perpetual state of conflict. 

By this metric the CIA is just another government parasite with its snout in the security pork barrel.

Ray points out the CIA is so politicized it can't remember what telling hard truths is about and saves particular venom for spineless George Tenet who along with Colin Powell could have averted a needless war with Iraq though as he points out, it's unlikely that it ever even occurred to them. That's what happens when the system promotes people who say what people want to hear instead of what people need to hear.

Interesting to learn that Gates was one of the most voted against CIA director appointments ever.

Most Of Planet Meet For Peace Alternative To Hillary Clinton's Warmongering - Corporate Media Silent

30 nations including China, Indonesia and Russia are meeting in Tehran to find peaceful alternatives to the NATO warmongering and terrorist sponsoring in Syria. The Western corporate media is silent as ever because there's a lot of military industrial complex money riding on destabilizing Syria (like Libya was brought down) and the corporate for-profit media have no incentive in telling the full story.

It's important and valuable to the pluralist thinker in these twilight days of Western materialist fetishism to seek alternative and contrarrian points of view from places like Press TV, Tehran Times and Russia Today. 

Ron Paul On CIA Drug Trafficking

It takes a little getting used to this idea so it's worth repeating once a day till it sticks in the episodic memory and/or long term memory.  The idea that the secret services (including MI6 I can add) run the global drug trade sounds like the sort of thing the corporate media would smear as a conspiracy theory to teach the gullible public what to question and what not to question. 

Anyway here it is and I can talk at length about this subject but it's quite far down the list of real secrets. The spooks sell drugs to fund their black operations. Those are the real secrets if you dig around a bit. Particularly the tech end that keeps us reliant on oil and the conflict that arises from it.
