Welcome to Keith's night. Don't tread on anyone in the libertarian Institute. This is a video I did years and years ago. Thought I'd put it back through circulation. So please excuse the subpar audio along with a couple Miss pronunciations.

This is the CIA assassination manual, a study of assassination, table of contents, study of assassination, definition employment, justification classifications planning, and NG with examples preface here, you find a transcript of the CIA file titled, A study of

assassination. This unsigned, an undated estimated publication date, December 31st, 1953 19-page typewritten file, was part of a collection of CIA documents pertaining to operations PB fortune and PB success and was Declassified under the Freedom of Information Act on May 15th 1997. They were able to cover this one up for quite a while. After years, of answering Freedom of Information, Act request with its standard. We can neither confirm nor deny that such records exist.

The CIA is finally Declassified some 1400 pages over 100,000 estimated to be in, its secret archives on a Guatemalan destabilization program. An excerpt from this assassination. Manual' appears on the op-ed page of the New York Times on Saturday, May 31st. 1997. Seven operations, PB fortune and pbsuccess were the CIA code names of the 1952 254 attempts to topple the Guatemalan. Government under democratically elected.

President Giacomo árbenz Guzmán. Árbenz Guzmán was elected president of Guatemala in 1952. Continue. A process of socio economic reforms that the CIA disdainfully refers to and its memorandum. As an intensely nationalistic program of progress. Lured by a touchy anti-foreign, inferiority complex of the Banana Republic. The first CIA effort to overthrow the Guatemalan president. A CIA collaboration with Nicaraguan dictator, Anastasio

Somoza to support a disgruntled. General named Carlos Castillo armas and codename operation. PB Fortune was authorized by President, Harry Truman in 1952 as early as February of that year. CIA headquarters. Han generating memos with subject titled Guatemalan communist Personnel to be disposed of during military operations, outlining categories of persons, to be neutralized through executive action, murder or through imprisonment and Exile. The a list of those to be

assassinated contain 58 names. All of which the CIA has excised from the classified from the Declassified documents pbsuccess authorized by President Eisenhower in August of 53 carried a 2.7 million dollar budget for psychological warfare, and political action, and subversion, among the other components of the small paramilitary War. Also important to mention Eisenhower gave the green light in 1961 to assassinate Patrice lumumba in the Congo.

But according to the cia's own internal study of the agency's so-called K program up until the They árbenz Guzmán resigned on June 27th, 1954. The option of assassination was still being considered while the power of the CIA psychological War codenamed. Operation Sherwood against our Ben's. Guzman rendered that option. Unnecessary. The last stage of pbsuccess called for a rollup of Communists.

And collaborators. Do we really trust these people with who should be categorized as a communist, your called a fascist for? Nowadays or a racist or sexist or an extremist who's a threat to society, Although our beds Guzman and his top aides, were able to flee, the country after the CIA installed, Castillo armas in power, hundreds of Guatemalans were rounded up and killed between 1954 1990. Human rights groups estimate that the repressive operations

of successive military. Regimes killed more than 180,000 individuals among them. Mayans massacred. Our the Mayans massacred and 626 documented government-sponsored or government committed attacks on Native Villages. Today only remembered by a small number of people a broads as the cause for 1992 Nobel Peace. Prize winner, rigoberta, Menchu, and ethnic Mayan to start her struggle for civil, white rights

and peace in the region. This document has been carefully reformatted and let's get into it. A study of assassination. Definition assassination is a term thought to be derived from hashish. A drug similar to marijuana said to have been used by Hasan. IBN Sababa to induce motivation in his followers who were assigned to carry out political and other murders. Usually at the cost of their lives.

It is here used to describe the planning, the planned killing of a person who is not under the legal. Section of the killer who was not physically in the hands of the killer, who has been selected by a resistance Organization for death and whose death provides positive advantages for that organization. Employment. Assassination is an extreme measure not normally used in clandestine operations.

It should be assumed that it will never be ordered or authorized by any US headquarters, even though the president was authorizing, these Truman and Eisenhower the letter, May in rare instances. Agreed to its execution by members of an Associated Foreign Service. This resistance is partly due to the necessity for committing Communications to paper. No assassination instructions should ever be written or recorded.

Consequently. The decision to employ, this technique must nearly, always be reached in the field at the area where the actor will take place decision and instructions should be confined to an absolute minimum. Of persons. Ideally only one person will be involved. No report may be made, but usually the ACT will be properly covered up by normal new Services. Whose output is available to all concerned. For more on this.

Please research operation Mockingbird for how the Central Intelligence Agency controls new Services. Justification murder is not morally. Justifiable self-defense. May be argued if the victim has knowledge which may destroy the resistance. Organization. If divulged assassination of persons responsible for atrocities or appraisals may be regarded as just punishment, killing a political leader,

whose Burr get awning. Career is a clear and present danger to the cause of Freedom. May be held necessary, but assassination can seldom be employed with a clear conscience. Persons who are morally squamous should not attempt. It. Classifications. The techniques employed will vary according to whether the subject is unaware. Are of his danger aware but unguarded or guarded, they will also be affected by whether or not.

The Assassin is to be killed with the subject here, after assassinations in which the subject is unaware, will be termed. Simple, those where the subject is aware. But unguarded will be termed Chase. Those were the victims guarded will be termed guarded. If the Assassin is to die with the subject. The ACT will be called lost. If the Assassin is to escape the adjective will be safe. It should be noted that no compromises should exist here. The assassination must not fall alive.

The Assassin must not fall alive into enemy hands. A further type of division is caused by the need to conceal. The fact that the subject was actually the victim of an assassination rather than an accident or natural causes. If such concealment is desirable, the operation will be called secret. If concealment is immaterial, the act will be called. Open. Well, if the assassination requires publicity to be effective, it will be termed terroristic following these

definitions. The assassination of Julius Caesar was safe, simple and terroristic. While that of Huey Long was lost guarded and open, obviously successful, secret assassinations are not recorded as assassination at all of Thailand and Augustus, Caesar may have been the victims of safeguarded and secret assassination. Ian's Chase assassinations usually involve clandestine agents or members of criminal organizations the Assassin in safe.

Assassins. The Assassin needs the usual qualities of a clandestine agent. He should be determined courageous intelligent resourceful and Physically Active. If special equipment is to be used such as Firearms or drugs. It is clear that he must have outstanding skill with such equipment. Except in terroristic assassinations. It is desirable That the Assassin be transient in the area. He should have an absolute minimum of contact with the rest

of the organization. And his instructions should be given orally by one person. Only his safe evacuation. After the ACT is absolutely essential, but here again, contact should be as limited as possible. It is preferable that the person issuing instructions, also conduct any withdrawal or covering action, which may be necessary. Terry in Lost assassination, the Assassin must be a fanatic of some sort politics, religion. And revenge are about the only feasible motives.

Since a fanatic is unstable psychologically. He must be handled with extreme care. He must not know the identities of the other members of the organization for, although, it is intended that he died in the ACT. Something may go wrong while the assassination Assassin of Trotsky has never revealed. Significant information. It was unsound to depend on

this. When the Act was planned planning, when the decision to assassinate has been reached the tactics of the operation, must be planned based on an estimate of the situation. Similar to that used in military operations. The pre limitary estimate will reveal gaps in information, and possibly indicate a need for special equipment, which must be procured or constructed.

It when all the necessary data has been collected and effective tactical, plan can be prepared, all planning must be mental. No papers should ever contain evidence of the operation in resistance situations, assassin. Assassination may be used as a counter reprisal since this requires advertising to be

effective. The resistance organization must be in a position to warn High officials publicly that their lives will be the price of reprisal action against innocent people such a threat is of no value, unless it can be carried

out. So it may be necessary to plan the assassination of various responsible officers of the oppressive regime and old such plans in Readiness to be Only if provoked by excessive brutality, such plans must be modified frequently to meet changes in the Tactical situation techniques. The essential point of assassination is the death of the subject. A human being may be killed in many ways.

But sureness is often overlooked by those who may be emotionally, unstrung by seriousness of this act. They intend to commit the specific technique employed will depend upon a large number of variables, but But should be constant in one point, death must be absolutely certain the attempt on Hitler's life failed because the conspiracy did not

give this matter. Proper attention techniques may be considered as follows manual if it is possible to kill a man with the bare hands, but very few are skillful enough to do it. Well even a highly trained Judo expert, will hesitate to risk, killing by hand, unless he absolutely has no alternative. The simplest of local tools are often much. The most efficient means of assassination, a hammer, ax wrench screwdriver, fire poker kitchen, knife, lampstand or anything hard heavy.

And handy will suffice a length of a rope or wire or a belt will do with the assassination. If the Assassin is strong and agile. All such improvised weapons, have the important advantage of availability and apparent innocence. The obviously lethal machine gun failed to kill Trotsky. We're an item of Sporting Goods succeeded in all safe cases where the Assassin may be subject to search. Either before, or after the ACT, specialized weapons should not be used even in the Lost case.

The Assassin may accidentally be searched before the ACT should not carry an incriminating device. If any sort of Lethal Weapon can be improvised at the near sight. If the Normally carries weapons because of the nature of his job. It may still be desirable to improvise an Implement at the scene to avoid disclosure of his identity accidents for secret assassination.

Either simple or chase. The contrived accident is the most effective technique when successfully executed, it causes little excitement and is only casually investigated the most efficient accident and simple assassination is a fall of 75 feet or more onto a hard surface. Elevator shafts stairwells unscreened windows and bridges will serve Bridges. Fall into water are not Bridge falls into water are not reliable, and simple cases. A private meeting with the subject may be arranged at a

proxy at a properly cased. Location. The ACT may be executed by sudden, big arrests blank of the ankles tipping the subject over the edge if the Assassin. Sets up an outcry playing the horrified that witness no alibi or sir impetus withdrawal is necessary. In Chase cases. It will usually be necessary to stun or drug. The subject before dropping him. Care is required to ensure that no wound or condition.

Not attributable to the fall is discernible after death Falls in to see or swiftly flowing Rivers May suffice if the It cannot swim, it will be more reliable. If the Assassin can arrange to attempt to rescue as he can, thus be sure of his subjects death and at the same time establish a workable Alibi. If the subjects personal habits, make it feasible alcohol, may be used blank to prepare him for a contrived accident of any kind

Falls before trains or subway. Cars are usually effective but require exact timing and can sell them be. Free from unexpected, observation automobile, accidents are less. Satisfactory means of assassination. If the subject is deliberately run down. Very exact timing is necessary and investigation is likely to be thorough.

If the subjects cars. Tampered with reliability is very low, the subject may be stunned or drugged and then placed into the car, but this is only reliable when the car can be run off. I Cliff or into deep water without observation. Arson can cause a Accidental death. If the subject is drugged, and left in a burning building, reliability is not satisfactory. Unless the building is isolated and highly combustible drugs in all types of assassination. Except terroristic, drugs can be

very effective. The Assassin is trained as a doctor or nurse in the subject is under Medical Care. This is an easy and rare method. An overdose of morphine administered as a sedative will cause death without the disturbance and is difficult to detect. The size of the dose will depend upon whether the subject has

been using narcotics regularly. If not, two grains will suffice, if the subject drinks heavily morphine or a similar narcotic can be injected at the passing out stage and the cause of death will often be held to be acute. Alcoholism specific poison such as arsenic or stri Sheen are effective, but their possession or procurement is incriminating and Accurate dosage is problematical poison was used unsuccessfully in the assassination of Rasputin and cola Han, though.

The latter case is more accurately described as a murder edged weapons. Any locally obtainable Edge device, may be successfully employed a certain minimum of anatomical knowledge is needed for reliability. Puncture wounds of the body cavity. They not be reliable. Unless the heart is reached, the heart is protected by the rib cage and is not always easy to locate abdominal. Wounds were. Once nearly always mortal but modern medical treatment has

made this no longer true. Absolute reliability is obtained by serving, severing the spinal cord in the cervical region. This can be done with the point of a knife or a like blow of an axe or Hatchet. Another reliable method is the severing of both jugular and car. Toid blood vessels on both sides of the windpipe if the subject

has been rendered. Just by other wounds or drugs, either of the above methods can be used to ensure death blunt weapons as with edged weapons blunt weapons require some atomically knowledge for Effective. Use their main advantage. Is there Universal. Availability, a hammer may be picked up almost anywhere in the world. Baseball and bats are widely distributed. Even a rock or a heavy stick will do and nothing resembling a weapon needed.

It need be procured carried or subsequently disposed of Blues should be directed at the temple, the area, just below and behind the ear and of the lower rear portion of the skull. Of course, if the blow is very heavy, any portion of the upper skull will do the lower frontal portion of the head from the eyes to the throat. Can withstand enormous blows without fatal consequences, Firearms are often used in assassination, often very ineffective.

The Assassin, usually has insufficient technical knowledge of the limitations of weapons and expects more range, accuracy, and killing power can be provided with reliability. Since certainty of death is the major requirement Firearms should be used, which can provide destructive power at least a hundred percent in Access of that, thought to be necessary. And ranges should be half that consider practical for the weapon Firearms. Have other drawbacks that our possession is often.

Incriminating, they may be difficult to obtain. They may require a degree of experience from the user. They are blank. They're blank is consistently overrated. However, there are many cases in which Firearms are probably more efficient than any other means. These cases usually involve distance between the Assassin and the subject or comparative physical weakness of the Assassin as with a woman, the precision rifle in guarded assassination, a good hunting or target rifle.

Should always be considered as a possibility. Absolutely absolute reliability. Can nearly always be achieved at a distance of 100 yards in ideal circumstances. The range may be extended to 250 yards. The rifle should be a well-made bolt or falling Block action type handling, a powerful long-range cartridge a 300. Fa B. Magnum is probably the best cartridge readily available other excellent calibers are 45 Magnum, 271 stir 1068 by 60 Magnum, yada yada, and others of

this type. There are, these are preferable to ordinary military calibrators since ammunition available for them, is usually of the expanding bullet type where most ammunition for military rifles. Is full jacketed and hence, not sufficiently lethal military ammunition. Should not be altered by filing or drilling bull. As this will adversely affect accuracy, the rifle may be of the bull gun variety with extra heavy barrel and set triggers.

But in any case should be capable of Maximum Precision. Ideally the weapon should be able to group in one inch at 100 yards, but two-and-a-half groups are adequate. The site should be telescopic, not only for accuracy, but because such a site is much better in. Dim light or near Darkness. As long as the bare outline of

the target is indiscernible. A telescope site will work even if the rifle and shooter are in total darkness and expanding hunting, bullet of such calibers as described above will produce extravagant laceration and shocked at the short or mid range. If a man is struck just once in the body cavity, his death is almost entirely certain Public figures or guard officials may be killed with great reliability and some safety of a firing Point can be established prior

to an official occasion. The propaganda value of this system may be very high, the machine gun machine guns may be used in most cases where the precision rifle is applicable. Usually, this will require the subversion of a unit of an official guard at a ceremony though, a skillful and determined. Team might conceivably dispose of the a loyal gun crew. Without commotion and take over

the gun at a critical time. The area fire capacity of the machine gun should not be used to search out a concealed subject. This was tried with predictable, lack of success on Trotsky. The automatic feature of the machine gun should rather be used to increase reliability by placing a five-second burst on the subject. Even with full jacket ammunition. This will be absolute. Lethal is the burst pattern.

Is no longer than a man. This can be accomplished at about 150 yards, in ideal circumstances, a properly padded and targeted machine gun can do it at eight hundred and fifty yards. The major difficulty is planning the first burst exactly on the target as most machine Gunners are trained to spot their Fire On Target by observation of strike. This will not do an assassination as the subject will not.

Wait the submachine gun. The weapon known as machine pistol by Shenzhen Germans and machine. Carbine by the British is occasionally useful, full an assassination, unlike the rifle and machine gun. This is a short range weapon since it fires pistol ammunition, much less powerful to be reliable. It should deliver at least five rounds into the subjects, chest through the 45 caliber Us weapons. Have a much larger margin of killing efficiency than the 9.

Mm European arms, the Assassin. The assassination range of the submachine gun is point-blank. Okay, well, accurate single rounds can be delivered by sub machine Gunners at 50 yards or more. This is not certain enough for us as a nation. Under ordinary circumstances. The SMG should be used as a fully automatic weapon in the hands of a capable Gunner. A high cyclic rate is a distinct Advantage as speed of execution is most desirable. Particularly in the case of multiple subjects.

The submachine gun is especially a adapt and adopt Dead to work in door adapted to work in door when more than one subject is to be assassinated. And effective technique has been devised for the use of a pair of sub machine Gunners by, which a room containing, as many as a dozen, subjects can be purified in about 20 seconds with little or no risk to the Gunners. It is Illustrated below while the u.s. Submachine guns fired. The most lethal cartridges, the

highwomen. Higher cyclic rate of some foreign weapons, enable the Gunner to cover a Target quicker with acceptable pattern density. The Birdman model 1934 is particularly good. This way the Danish Madsen SMG has a moderately good cyclic rate and is admirably Compact and concealable. The Russian shgs have a good cyclic rate, but are handicapped by a small light projectile which requires more hits. Or equivalent killing effect. Shotgun a large bore shotgun is a most effective killing

instrument. As long as the range is, kept under 10 yards. It should normally be used only on single targets as it cannot sustain. Fire unsuccessfully the barrel may be sawed off for convenience, but this is not a significant factor in its killing performance. Its Optimum range is just Out Of Reach of the subject 00. Buckshot is Add the best shot for a 12-gauge gun, but anything from single balls to birdshot will do, if the range is right. The Assassin should aim for the

solar plexus. As the shot pattern is small at close range and can easily blank the head. The pistol while the handgun is quite effect in efficient. As a weapon of assassination, it is often used partly because it is readily available and can be concealed on the person to and partly because its limitations are not widely appreciated. While, many known assassinations have been carried out with pistols. Lincoln Harding Gandhi such attempts fail, as often as they succeed Truman.

Roosevelt, Churchill, if a pistol is used, it should be as powerful as possible, and fired from just beyond reach, the pistol and shotgun. Are you? In similar tactical situations, except that the shotgun is much more lethal. And the pistol is much more easily concealed in the hands of an expert, a powerful pistol is quite deadly, but such experts are rare and not usually available for assassination missions. These are efficient calibers, less.

Powerful rounds can suffice but are less reliable sub power cartridges. Such as 3225 should be avoided in all cases the subject. It should be hid solidly, at least three times for complete reliability, silent Firearms. The sound of the explosion of the propellant in a firearm can be effectively silenced by appropriate attachments.

However, the sound of the projectile passing through the air cannot, since the sound is generated outside the weapon in cases, where the velocity of the bullet greatly increases, that of sound the noise. So generated is much louder. More than that, of the explosion since all powerful Rivals have muzzle velocities over 2,000 feet per square. Second. They cannot be silenced pistol

bullets. On the other hand, usually travel slower, then sound and the sound of their flight is negligible therefore pistols machine guns, and any sort of improvised, carbine or rifle, which will take a low-velocity, cartridge can be silenced. The user should not forget that the Sound of the operation of a repeating action is considerable. And that the sound of bullets strike, particularly in bone is quite loud. Silent Firearms are only occasional use full an

assassination though. They have been widely publicized in this connection because permissible velocity is low effective. Precision range is held to about 100 yards with rifle or carbine type weapons with the pistols silent or otherwise are Efficient, just beyond arm's length. The silent features attempt to provide a degree of safety to the Assassin, but mere possession of a silent. Firearm, is likely to create enough Hazard to counter the advantage of its silence.

The silent pistol combines the disadvantages of any pesto, with the added, one of its obviously clandestine purpose, a telescopically cited, closed action, carbine shooting a low velocity bullet of great weight and build for C could be very useful to an assassin in certain situations. At the time of writing. No such weapon is known to exist, explosives bombs, and demolition, charges of various sorts have been used frequently and assassination such devices

in terroristic. And open assassination, can provide safety and overcome guard barriers, but it's curious that bombs have often been the Implement of lost assassinations the major. After which affects reliability is the use of explosives for assassination. The charge must be very large and the detonation must be controlled. Exactly. As to time by the Assassin who can observe the subject a smaller moderate explosive is highly unreliable as a cause of death and Tom DeLay are booby-trap.

Devices are extremely prone to kill the wrong man, in addition to the moral aspects of indiscriminate, killing the death of casual by standards can often, Reduce public reactions unfavorable to the cause for which the Assassin, assassination is carried out bombs or grenades should never be thrown out of subject. While this will always cause a commotion and may even result in the subjects death. It is sloppy unreliable and bad propaganda.

The charge must be too small. And the Assassin is never. Sure of one, reaching his attack position to placing the charge close enough to the Target and 3 firing the charge at the right time placing the charge. So repetitiously in advance permits a charge of proper size to be employed, but requires accurate prediction of the subjects, movements, 10 pounds of high explosives, should normally be regarded as a minimum and This is explosive of fragmentation.

Material. The latter can consist of any rock-hard blank material. As long as the fragments are large enough, metal or rock fragments should be walnut-sized rather than pain sighs. If solid plates are used to be ruptured by the explosion cast. Iron one-inch-thick gives, excellent, fragmentation military or commercial High. Explosives are practical for use in. Russian homemade or improvised explosives should be avoided while possibly powerful. They tend to be dangerous and

unreliable. Anti-personnel, explosive missiles are excellent provided. The Assassin has sufficient technical knowledge to fuse them properly 81 or 82, mm motor shells or the 120. Mm, mortar shell are particularly good, anti-personnel shells of 85, 88 90, 100 and 105. Mm guns. Yes, and how it serves are both large enough to be completely reliable and small enough to be carried by one, man.

The charge should be so placated that the subject is not even six feet from it. At the moment of detonation, a large shape charge with the blank filled with iron fragments such as one inch nuts and bolts will fire. Highly lethal, shotgun type 250 yards. This reaction has not been thoroughly tested.

However, and an exact replica of the proposed device should be fired in advance to determine exact range, pattern size and penetration of fragments fragments, should penetrate at least one inch of season, Pine, or equivalent for minimum reliability. Any firing device may be used, which permits exact control by the Assassin, an ordinary commercial or military Exploder is efficient. As long as it's rigged, for instantaneous action. With no time for use in the system.

The wise blank, electric Target can serve as the triggering device and provide exact timing from as far away, as the Assassin can reliably hit the target. This will avoid the disadvantages of stringing wire between the proposed positions of the Assassin and the subject and also permit the Assassin to fire the charge from a variety of possible positions. The radio switch can be blank to fire blanks. Though its reliability is somewhat lower and it's procurement may not be easy.

Examples blank may be presented brief outlines with critical evaluation the following assassinations and attempt on people such as Lincoln Harding, Ferdinand Rasputin Trotsky, Hitler Roosevelt, Truman Mussolini Gandhi, Abdullah conference, room technique. One enters room quickly, but quietly stands in doorway here is where the Assassin would be.

Here would be the by standards. They would be subject to opens fire on first subject to react swings across group toward Center of mass times burst to empty magazine at end of swing covers group to prevent individual dangerous reactions, if necessary fires individual bursts of three rounds, three, Finishes burst commands shift, drop back through door replaces. Empty magazine covers Corridor on command shift, opens fire on

opposite side of Target swings. One burst across group for finishes burst, commands shift, drops back through door, replaces magazine covers Corridor on command shift re-enters. Rome covers group kills survivors with two rounded bursts. Leaves propaganda. Five leaves room commands, Go covers rear with near Lee, full Magazine on command do leads withdrawal covering front with full magazine. And that is the rest of it. These are photocopies of the

assassination themselves. Now, we have a manual. But what does that prove? Maybe this is one Kook writing about something they did in 1950. E4 and Guatemala. Well, this is actually something that has certainly been used on a number of occasions. Here. We actually have more documents here are the 58 names of the people. They tried to assassinate all of which are blanked out. This this document can be verified here at the, what was

it? Should be the archives at George Washington University. I believe GW U dot edu. So we will check that. Here's a timeline of CIA atrocities from the excellent. Usually, excellent Global Research that they go through Years. Starting in 1929, referring to Henry Stimson. We have the creation of the office of strategic Services. We had CIA OSS, Operations in Italy, there was Operation Paperclip. There was infiltration of Greece. There was Radio free Europe, the

CIA creates. Its first major propaganda Outlet, Radio free Europe, operation Mockingbird, the CIA begins, recruiting American News, organizations and journalists to become spies and disseminators of propaganda. The effort headed by Frank Wisner Allen Dulles. Richard Helms and Phillip. G g is publisher of the Washington Post, which becomes a major CIA player.

Eventually, the cia's media asset will include ABC NBC, CBS time Newsweek Associated Press United, Press International, Reuters Hearst newspapers, Scripps, Howard Lee, copely news, service and many more by the cia's own admission at least 25 organizations. And 400 journalists will become

CIA assets. That I believe is according to the church Committee in 1953. We have the invasion of Iran referred to as Operation Ajax, I believe there's MKUltra inspired by North Korea's And watching program, the CIA begins experiments on mind control, most notorious involves giving LSD and Other Drugs to American subjects without their knowledge, or against their will causing several to commit

suicide. However, the operation involves far more than this funded in part by Rockefeller and Ford. Foundation's research, includes propaganda, brainwashing, public relations, advertising, hypnosis and other forms of suggestion. Operation Paperclip, while other American agencies are hunting down Nazi war, criminals for arrest. The US intelligence Community is smuggling them into America unpunished for their use against the Soviets.

Allegedly. The most important of these is Reinhard Gelman, Hitler's spy master who had built up an intelligence Network in the Soviet Union with the full us blessing. He creates the Glenn organization, a band of Nazi Refugee spies who reactive Networks in Russia. We have the atrocities the of the CIA in Guatemala that we mentioned previously. We have the atrocities and Vietnam. We have spraying Agent Orange in Laos Cambodia Haiti. There was the Bay of Pigs assassination attempts.

On Castro as I mentioned and the Congo Patrice lumumba as ordered by Eisenhower Dominican Republic Ecuador, Indonesia. Greece, again, Dominican Republic of the Congo again, operation. Phoenix, the CIA helps South Vietnamese, agents identify and then murder alleged Vietcong leaders operating in South Vietnamese Villages. According to a 1971 Congressional report. They killed about 20,000 Vietcong. Well, My Lai Massacre just slips in their operation chaos.

The CIA has been illegally spying on American since 1959. And now it's what the NSA. It's in the open, but with operation chaos, president. Dramatically boost the effort CIA agents under go under go undercover as student radicals to spy on and disrupt campus organizations protesting the Vietnam War. They are searching for Russian instigators, huh? Glad to see a lots changed where which they never find. Oh, Rachel maddow's going to

find them real soon. Chaos will eventually spy on 7,000 individuals in 1004 canonizations. This is a perfect example of that which you condone happening to the enemy and Discriminately whoever the enemy is at the time is going to happen to the rest of us. So don't justify torture spying silencing murder assassination and shit and banning because it's just a matter of time. But one it's unjust and to it's also going to affect you in the long run CIA organizations Sasson.

Eight Che, there was Cambodia, there was the unpopular move strengths, the once, minor opposition parties like the Khmer Rouge which achieve its power. 1975 which is a big new Pierzynski. Admitted the u.s. Supported Pol Pot in Cambodia, through China, because of bad, PR 1973. Allende's, Chile.

There was Operation chaos exposed Hughes, Ryan Act, Congress passes, an amendment requiring, the president to report non-intelligent CIA operations to the relevant, congressional committees in a timely fashion, number of books, written 79 back in Iran and Back in Afghanistan with operation. Mmm, that name IP operation Cyclone. Nicaragua El Salvador, back in Iran Honduras, Iran-Contra Panama, the Gulf War it. This is a long list of CIA

atrocities. And finally, we have myths and facts from the CIA themselves, the men and women, and Look at how they address these things. The CIA spies on US citizens. Well, we already proved that with operation chaos, and we have the NSA spying. So that has been refuted myth to that. This is a but on the cia's own website the men and women who work for the CIA are spies and agents. That is that. So obviously true myth 3 all CIA officers recruit and handle

agents. Yeah, the fact that they Amen, they use the terms like all again. And again is just straw Manning. What otherwise is actually a legitimate concern. All CIA officers are quite mysterious live undercover and lie about where they work. All of them 100%, you know, as everyone always says, no, that's there. Even bad at straw. Manning their own propaganda. Myth number six, the agency operates independently and is not held accountable to anyone.

The CIA is responsible to the American people. So I With that, I believe they are unaccountable. So let's see if they respond to. I don't know this video if they come out and explain their assassination manual. Let's see if the CIA comes out and apologizes for all the MKUltra assassination. Torture atrocities violently interfering in what otherwise could be voluntary? Interactions between peaceful people of the CIA makes foreign policy. Does everyone say that?

They make it as it's just made by them like Gordon, Ramsay makes a baked potato. No. They're the claim. Is they heavily influence the politicians? All CIA officers are fluent in multiple languages. This is so ridiculous. All who is saying all and they make it no one else is involved. The president doesn't even know what's going on in foreign policy. Myth 10, CIA officers are the keepers of all governments. Secrets. They're all again. No, well, we adhere to a strict
