Fantastic thread on the origins of the #MKULTRA program, the BLUEBIRD and ARTICHOKE projects that explored the limits (but not the ethics) of mind-control research in the ‘50s and ‘60s. What #CIA director #WalterBedellSmith and his deputy (and eventual successor at CIA) #AllenDulles accomplished through these #ManchurianCandidate programs moved the Agency, over just a few years, from being a necessary evil, to just plain evil.

Fantastic @AnthonyKimery piece from 1992 on the long and weird relationship between #GeorgeBush and the #CIA, one that predated by decades his “official” service to the Agency. We know a bit more, today, about aspects of the Bush story, like Bush’s ties to #LeeHarveyOswald’s Texas handler #GeorgeDeMohrenschildt, but this article is absolutely the place to start for any deep dive on GHWB.

Former #CIA CI chief #JamesAngleton isn’t buried in Washington. He’s buried in Morris Hill Cemetery in his hometown, Boise, Idaho.

🚨 This is one of the most important moments in history for victims of Neuro-Weapons.
U.S. National Security is now admitting Brain Control tech exists, it’s being used on Americans, and the #CIA is covering it up!
The truth has arrived🔔⚠️

Putin’s deadly arsenal extends beyond borders. From poisonings to shootings, his Russian spy agencies wield a chilling reach. Stay vigilant, stay informed.

It’s a fair description of #AllenDulles to say that for an entire generation he was the face and public persona of the #CIA. A capable writer, one who didn’t mind the bombastic drone of the Sunday talk-show circuit, Dulles spoke for an entire culture. He could be said to be the rival of #JEdgarHoover of the #FBI, in terms of popular culture. Odd, then, that #JFK understood this quite well about Hoover— “You don’t fire God,” as he famously remarked when others suggested Hoover’s removal from office— but he didn’t understand that where Dulles was concerned.
(Obviously Hoover had a tremendous capacity for blackmail; that helped him cultivate support for decades. But the same could be said for Dulles, and that fact didn’t help him, professionally, at the end of his career.)
When Allen Dulles’funeral took place in 1969, the CIA director at the time, #RichardHelms, escorted the widow; but it was the Agency’s counterintelligence chief, #JamesAngleton, who carried the ashes.)

😳 ” #Russia has never been able to become a nation. It was always an empire with the tsar, with the Soviets, and now with Putin”, – Borrell
👀 “It is a constant of Russia, and its political identity, and as a result a threat to his neighbours – and particularly to us.”
