<b>The Secret Wars of the CIA</b><br><br><br><br>
The CIA is not now nor has it ever been a central intelligence agency. It is the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">covert</span> action arm of the President's foreign policy advisers. In that capacity it overthrows or supports foreign governments <span style="text-decoration:underline;">while reporting "intelligence" justifying those activities</span>. It shapes its intelligence, even in such critical areas as Soviet nuclear weapons capability, to support presidential policy. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Disinformation is a large part of its covert action responsibility, and the American people are the primary target of its lies</span>.

John Stockwell is a 13-year veteran of the CIA and a former U.S. Marine Corps major. He was hired by the CIA in 1964, spent six years working for the CIA in Africa, and was later transferred to Vietnam. In 1973 he received the CIA's Medal of Merit, the Agency's second-highest award. In 1975, Stockwell was promoted to the CIA's Chief of Station and National Security Council coordinator, managing covert activities during the first years of Angola's bloody civil war. After two years he resigned, determined to reveal the truth about the agency's role in the Third World. Since that time, he has worked to expose the criminal activities of the CIA. He is the author of In Search of Enemies, an exposé of the CIA's covert action in Angola.<br><br><br><br><br><br><b>Stockwell</b>: "We create a CIA, a secret police, with a vast budget, and let them go and run these programs in our name. We pretend like we don't know what's going on, though the information is there for us to know.<br><br>
Nicaragua. This is the most famous covert action of the fifty that are going on today. They say there are thirteen "major" ones. This is not the biggest one. Afghanistan is. We've spent several hundred million dollars in Afghanistan. We've spent somewhat less than that, but close, in Nicaragua.<br><br><br><br>
You have a target: a government that you don't like. You pick a country you're going to go after. The reasons are quite whimsical. We go after a country for a while, and if it doesn't work, sometimes we wind up being friends with them. They pick a government. They target them. They send the CIA in with its resources and its activists: hiring people, hiring agents to tear apart the social and economic fabric of the country. It's a technique for putting pressure on the government, hoping they can make the government come to the U.S.'s terms, or that the government will collapse altogether and they can engineer a coup d'etat, and have the thing wind up with their own choice of people in power.<br><br><br><br>
What we're talking about is going in and deliberately creating conditions where the farmer can't get his produce to market; where children can't go to school; where women are terrified inside their homes.<br><br><br><br>
To destabilize Nicaragua, beginning in 1981, we began funding this force of Somoza's ex-National Guardsmen, calling them the Contras, the counter-revolutionaries. We created this force, which did not exist until we allocated money. We armed them. We put uniforms on their backs and boots on their feet, gave them camps in Honduras to live in, medical supplies, doctors, training, leadership, direction, as we sent them in to destabilize Nicaragua. Under our direction, they have been systematically blowing up bridges, sawmills, graneries, government offices, schools, health centers. They ambush trucks so the produce can't get to market. They raid farms and villages. They use terror to traumatize society so that it cannot function.<br><br><br><br>
The CIA was forming the police units that are, today, the death squads in El Salvador. The leaders were on the CIA's payroll, trained by the CIA in the United States.<br><br><br><br><b>The Cia trained and funded Osama Bin Laden.<br><br></b><br><br><br><br><b><i>CIA is the covert operations division of the U.S. goverment and as such has engaged in many terrorist activities.
