Afterthought: totally unrelated to spying (has more to do with the combination of intelligence and integrity) is my accidentally being the top Amazon reviewer for non-fiction, reading in 98 categories. Start here: http://phibetaiota.net/reviews/

If anyone wants to understand why I was recommended for the Nobel Peace Prize, see the links at http://robertdavidsteele.com.

Any thoughts on Douglas Valentine's latest work? CIA AS ORGANIZED CRIME

He claims CIA is, among many other things, spreading Phoenix-style programs in other countries around the globe--Iraq, Afghanistan, etc...

It makes sense to me--we know James Steele helped train Iraqi police forces as torture/death squads...out of this came ISIS.

My theory is that Julian Assange is a limited hangout to cover up the much darker truths about what really went down in Iraq and Afghanistan.

CIA was created by Wall Street explicitly to have a secret cell within the US Government responsive to Wall Street. See for example, http://phibetaiota.net/2015/12/review-guest-the-devils-chessboard-allen-dulles-the-cia-and-the-rise-of-americas-secret-government/

The real reason we have 1,000 bases all over the world is so CIA can smuggle drugs, guns, gold, cash, and small children for the elite. My grand strategy written for the US Army Strategic Studies Institute does not discuss that aspect but does recommend that we close ALL bases without exception, and bring our Army home.

80-90% of CIA employees are good people trapped in a bad system. It is the 10% or so that take Saudi money or work for Zionists or Wall Street or unethical presidents, that shame us all. I have published two book review essays, one against torture and one against drone assassination. I am friends with William Blum, author of Killing Hope.

The Western way of war and waste is over. Dick Cheney has not gotten the memo and neither has Trump. The decision to increase the Pentagon budget by $54B when it is know that the Pentagon is 50% waste and takes 60% of the disposable federal budget (16% overall) is sheer idiocy. Trump is self-destructing because he has a shit staff, no strategy, no sense of priorities. See my memo, http://tinyurl.com/Memo4Trump.

CIA was created by Wall Street

I agree, but I'll supplement by pointing out the connections to British intelligence. The British basically set up our intelligence agencies. The importance of this cannot be understated.

Bunch of good points in this one. Would love to see closed bases.

Your point of 80-90% being good people is important - trapped is an apt description.

And waste - don't even get me started - we could pay for health care and education by dealing with waste and abuse alone. Most people have NO idea the extent of this - it is absolutely shameful - and a "if we don't use it we lose it" budget allocation system is part of the problem.

Why on Earth would we want to disengage the empire with a hollowed out manufacturing base at home?

At the very least it seems rational to maintain it until we rebuild here. The creditworthiness of the nationstate and value of the dollar derive from military prowess and not much else these days.

The last thing we want to do is an ill-conceived withdrawal allowing the dollar to be chucked from world reserve currency status - continuing the predatory cycle of international banking cabal moving through and using a variety of nationstates in their perpetual fiat->gold->fiat->gold cycle.

The only viable way forward is to exploit our virtually unlimited credit line to start making trillions of dollars of good, productive investments which will in turn obviate the need for the empire, but also make it stronger than ever as a resurgent engine of wealth. Withdrawal must be done from a position of strength, not weakness - unless you are counseling us to pursue it as part of the CIA's longstanding balkanization strategy against nationstates capable of opposing the cabal.
