CIA OPERATIONS IN AMERICA TODAY

In order to discuss the CIA's presence... anywhere in the world... one needs to have a grasp on the missions they have charged themselves with. They are a civilian foreign intelligence agency. The task they've given themselves is to adjust the political environment in any country in the world. They do things like train revolutionary forces, create dissidents, arm insurgents, train foreign military personnel in torture, perform human experimentation on Americans (MKULTRA), break new ground in torture (Abu Ghraib/Black Sites), institutionalize propaganda and psychological operations at home and abroad, and much more. 

Some researchers have stated the agency supplements it's Black Budget with the sale of illegal drugs. Certainly there is enough hard evidence to support this statement. In fact there is mounting that they have U.S. Army personnel guarding poppy fields the Taliban wanted to destroy. Now the world has an opiate addiction problem. While this may be a coincidence, again, their own documents bear out this claim. The Iran-Contra Scandal would be an example. As long as the agency has existed it has used the trafficking of drugs as a tool for investment, financing, social and political manipulation, and criminal purposes. 

The CIA has in the past embarked on operations in the U.S. that give rise to concerns about its mission at home. In addition to the aforementioned violations of American’s rights, they have and are engaging in potentially treasonous activities. Some of these activities include the targeting and elimination of “dissidents,” psychological operations, control of news and social media, blackmail of U.S. government officials, violations of human rights, and surveillance of Congress. This is not a complete list by any means. In a democracy, the operations of a military intelligence organization on its own soil can only mean it is plying its trade here at home. 

This action raises the question why? Why are they eliminating people with opinions they don’t like? As the U.S. is a democracy, free speech and protesting are (were) protected. Yet these acts are now targeted, along with many other seemingly innocuous traits such as Christian religious affiliations, former military duty, former law enforcement duty, and gun ownership. Looking at the criteria required to be a possible target a a pattern begins to emerge. 

The groups being targeted are those that would oppose a coup either through communication or action. In the case of communication, a campaign of censorship would contribute the silencing of dissent. In the case of action, the confiscation of guns would reduce the chance of armed revolt. Taken in the context of a War on Terror, the goal isn’t to eliminate domestic terrorists, it is to remove dissidents and potential concerns, not to protect the people, but to protect the coup. 

The coup has begun, while the people seemingly are too busy to notice. While they do not trust the government, they let it change the foundational laws that define us as a country without resistance.
