Even some of my high school buddies then knew what the CIA is really all about, and what it’s been doing in countries such as the Philippines.
So far, it has assassinated at least one president (Magsaysay), removed at least two presidents through manufactured coup d’ etat (Marcos, Estrada) and installed in their stead subservient puppets (Cory, Gloria, Fidel, etc.).
The quotes below should sum up what this clandestine monster really is:
Popular culture tells you that schools and parents don’t know what’s going on, the police are dogs, politicians are all liars and scum, and any crime that’s not committed by the Mafia is done by the CIA.
