What follows in my best attempt to draw connections to the presence of the CIA in a particular country and claims of torture by them or people they trained. I will also include other types of programs in which mass murder was commonplace and torture is assumed to have occurred. We will also show a pattern of abuse of power and flaunting of every law that exists regarding the treatment of Prisoners of War, Civilians during Wartime, Civilians during Peacetime, Civilians of the United States, and Civilians of Allied Countries. In some respect, this is done to show that there is no oversight, no accountability, and no internal checks and balances whatsoever to prevent, abate, or somehow recompense the world for their actions. No CIA operative has ever paid a price for any illegal activity engaged in by the agency sanctioned or not.
The charter that created the Central Intelligence Agency specifically states that they are not accountable to the U.S. government, the people, nor anyone else. Their interpretation of the Patriot Act, Posse Comitatus, and the foundational documents of America, such as the Constitution further entrench the agency in its secrecy without fear of ever being prosecuted for any action or lack thereof. They are, essentially, a government within our government. There has been some debate over exactly what their charter is. Conspiracy theories abound. Some say they are the military arm of the world’s corporations and elite. Others say they are a Deep State running the government through black mail and bribery. Certainly, evidence can be found to support some of these claims.
The average American bases its knowledge of the Agency on what is portrayed in Hollywood movies. The picture painted is one of deep patriotism and personal risk. The reality is not so glamorous. I intend to show you the real CIA, the one the rest of the world knows. While for much of its existence it has primarily operated outside of the United States, it has also run operations inside the U.S., primarily for human experimentation and the destruction of dissidents. Since it is precluded from disclosing its budget or revenue (yes, the CIA does have money coming in) it engages in illicit activities such as human trafficking, drug trafficking, and maintains relationships with La Cosa Nostra (LC) and other criminal organizations.
Some researchers say the CIA’s union with organized crime forms a worldwide network that encompasses the globe. These people call that organization “The Octopus.” Their government destabilization operations across the world have ushered in some of histories worst atrocities. Their torture programs are infamous. Their drug trafficking operations have created vast wastelands of minority populations living at substandard poverty levels. These are the facts. The conspiracy that surrounds the agency make the facts look tame.
Let’s begin.
The CIA Didn’t Just Torture, It Experimented on Human Beings
"In its response to the Senate report, the CIA justified its decision to hire the duo: “We believe their expertise was so unique that we would have been derelict had we not sought them out when it became clear that CIA would be heading into the uncharted territory of the program.” Mitchell and Jessen’s qualifications did not include interrogation experience, specialized knowledge about Al Qaeda or relevant cultural or linguistic knowledge. What they had was Air Force experience in studying the effects of torture on American prisoners of war, as well as a curiosity about whether theories of “learned helplessness” derived from experiments on dogs might work on human enemies."
Remarks before the Nazi War Criminals Interagency Working Group
"What secrets are hidden in these files – obviously we do not know that yet. But, we can perhaps get an idea if we just consider some possibilities. A recent report in a London newspaper described the story of Erhard Dabringhaus. Dabringhaus was an U.S. Army (CIC) intelligence officer in post-war Germany. During the years between 1946 and 1952 he helped recruit agents that served as a backbone of what would become the CIA. One prime area of recruitment was involved Nazis – even more specifically, SS men. Perhaps the most infamous of these men was Klaus Barbie, also known as "The Butcher of Lyon." He was responsible for the deportation of 7,500 people, participated in 4,342 murders and was involved in the arrest and torture of 14,311 resistance fighters."
