yes. they’ve been in the driver seat for a long time. sadly, i was clueless about the deep-state and our corrupt gov’t/political/judicial system for most of my life.
they’ve probably been in control since very soon after Ike created them. certainly they seemed to have young JFK on a string. just look at the bay of pigs and the diem fiasco they manipulated him into. he really was reacting a lot. and then of course they arranged for his demise too.

Don’t feel like the lone ranger. To use Reagan’s parlance, I “trusted” my government but did not “verify” what was going on in it (nor did I keep watch on other critical institutions, such as the education system) because I was too busy with my own life. I have repented of that mistake!
We probably have not had an honestly elected president since before 1960.
Or earlier.
CIA was created in about 1947 IIRC
Before then we had Pinkerton Men
