Ron Paul: "The CIA Runs Everything"

rodstradamus
US House Rep. Ron Paul says the CIA has has in effect carried out a “coup” against the US government, and the intelligence agency needs to be “taken out.”

Speaking to an audience of like-minded libertarians at a Campaign for Liberty regional conference in Atlanta this past weekend, the Texas Republican said:

"There’s been a coup, have you heard? It’s the CIA coup. The CIA runs everything, they run the military. They’re the ones who are over there lobbing missiles and bombs on countries. … And of course the CIA is every bit as secretive as the Federal Reserve. … And yet think of the harm they have done since they were established [after] World War II. They are a government unto themselves. They’re in businesses, in drug businesses, they take out dictators … We need to take out the CIA."

Paul’s comments, made last weekend, were met with a loud round of applause, but they didn’t gather attention until bloggers noticed a clip of the event at YouTube.

Paul appeared to be referring to news reports that the CIA is deeply involved in air strikes against Al Qaeda targets in Afghanistan and Pakistan. A suicide bombing late last year against Forward Operating Base Chapman in Afghanistan took the lives of seven of CIA operatives, including two contracted from Blackwater. The event highlighted the CIA’s deep involvement in the war effort.

Paul’s reference to the CIA being “in the drug business” refers to long-running allegations that the CIA has funded some of its covert operations with proceeds from drug-running. That claim was most famously made in a 1996 investigative report from the San Jose Mercury-News, which alleged that cocaine from the Contra-Sandinista civil war in Nicaragua was making its way to the streets of L.A. via the CIA.

Also, the CIA have infiltrated the Ron Paul Presidential Campaign:

    • The CIA has had it’s own hidden agenda since it’s reorganization and transformation from the OSS immediately after WW2. Many times acting in its own best interest, often in direct conflict with the FBI, U.S. Military, DEA and the American people themselves. There has always been not only a culture of silence but also a sense of superiority, often deciding for themselves without any sort of oversight what is best for the United States. But, is the CIA to blame for everything…of course not! That would be giving them to much credit. I believe a closer examination of the CIA’s operations will show as many failures as successes. They still provide a valuable need in national security, collecting foreign intelligence and engaging in counter-espionage. The CIA’s involvement in Drug smuggling goes even farer back then center and South America but started during the Vietnam conflict with Air America. Also there has always been a strong connection the skull & bones Ivy League, wasp recruits from the CIA and Corporate America. Many times the CIA actions in Central and South America have directly benefited U.S. corporations. Do these mega-corporations control the CIA…NO WAY, the CIA is filled with arrogant, and desk bound cowboys and a small number of former Delta and Special Forces paramilitary agents who wouldn’t stand for being controlled by anyone. Is there a beneficial relationship between the CIA and American Corporations (especially American Corporations that operate in foreign countries…of course.)?,,,The information, Ron Paul is trying to exposed can be found in a multitude of books.

      Unimatrix, I know your game. I see you out there denying 9/11 Truth, promoting Global Warming, race-baiting and slandering the patriot movement. You're straight out of the Bill Maher/Chris Matthews playbook. Even Rachel Maddow makes you look like a yuppie, bleeding heart, fake liberal socialist. Just b/c you smoke pot doesn't make you cool...its not too late to wake up.
