Every scumbag the CIA could find worked for them. I'm currently reading "Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA" by Tim Weiner. As the writer said: "In World War II, the United States made common cause with communists to fight fascists. In the Cold War, the CIA used fascists to combat communism."
I already knew the CIA had hired known Nazi war criminals, and allowed those they put in charge, to hire anyone they wanted. It then happened that the spies the Nazis hired, hired other Nazis, SS and SA members to gather intel, that even the Nazi Reinhard Gehlen, that they had put in charge of the organization, didn't know who he had working for him. When the CIA realized that most of the intel they received was fabricated or just plain gossip, and that Moscow had infiltrated the group, they shut it down.
Today, I found out that they hired a WWII Ukraine terrorist, and Nazi collaborator Mikola Lebed. They even smuggled him into the U.S. and protected his cover. He had slaughtered Poles, Ukrainians and Jews. He remained in the U.S. unpunished, until his death in 1974.
I also learned today that during the Korean War, the CIA parachuted hundreds of Koreans and Chinese into both countries, as well as Burma, and that every one was either shot or captured. They were basically suicide missions. Every bit of intel that the CIA and military received in return, was false or fabricated by China or North Korea.
Weiner writes: "A generation later, American veterans call The Korean War, the Forgotten War. At the agency, it was deliberate amnesia. The waste of $152 million ($12,039,887.64 in today's money), on weapons for phantom Guerrillas was adjusted on the balance sheets. The fact that a great deal of Korean War intelligence was false or fabricated was kept secret. The question of what it had cost in lost lives was unasked and unanswered."
And I'm only on page 63 of the 700 page book. I can only imagine how worse it will get. And to think this agency still exists, and still runs secret covert missions, and does so within this country, makes me want to puke. The lawless CIA that was created after WWII is still the lawless agency that exists today.
Throw that book in the trash; the CIA did everything they could to promote communism across the globe.
To be fair, the Israelis (Mossad) did as well.
When JFK spoke out against “secret societies” in the gubmit, next thing you know he was killed. And so was the patsy suspected of assassinating him.
