Central Intelligence Agency
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is the secret police and intelligence service of the United States and NATO. It has a long history of committing illegal conspiracies including organizing propaganda campaigns within the United States[1], forcibly establishing anti-socialist dictatorships elsewhere, organizing coups to overthrow democratically elected leaders[2], drug trafficking[3], support for terrorism[4][5][6] and even torture[7][8]. Former CIA officer John Stockwell has estimated that the organization has committed somewhere between ten and twenty thousand covert actions between 1961 and 1987 alone. He attributed at least one million deaths to this organization, but the actual number may be closer to six million.[9]
History
Founding
The bourgeoisie created the agency in 1947, largely in order to control antisocialist subversion operations overseas by institutionalizing them and subjecting them to some central civilian authority.[10] It was based on the previous system set by the OSS (Office of Strategic Services). Along with the State Department, British MI-6 and the U.S. Army intelligence, the CIA created programs for the purpose of recruiting Axis and other fascist collaborators.[11]
