This discussion covers the book titled "The Secret Team - The CIA & its Allies in Control of the United States & the World - Fletcher Prouty," critically examines the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) operations and its pervasive influence within the United States government and globally. The author, claiming firsthand experience in providing military support for covert CIA operations, argues that the CIA often circumvented established protocols and lacked proper oversight, even from high-ranking officials. The text details how the CIA allegedly manipulated information and secrecy to expand its operational scope, particularly in the context of anti-communism and the Vietnam War. It highlights instances where CIA activities were conducted under various covers, blurring the lines between intelligence gathering and military or diplomatic actions. Ultimately, the document suggests that the CIA's unchecked power and its "Secret Team" allies significantly shaped U.S. foreign policy, often leading to unintended and detrimental consequences.

This conversation covers Antony C. Sutton's "Wall Street Trilogy," (https://amzn.to/46lMS0O) argues that American financial interests played a significant, often overlooked, role in supporting and shaping various totalitarian regimes. It contends that Wall Street financiers, like those from J.P. Morgan and General Electric, provided financial and technical assistance to the nascent Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, and the Italian Fascist state, viewing these regimes as opportunities for economic exploitation and control rather than ideological adversaries. The text further suggests that figures such as Franklin D. Roosevelt were deeply connected to these financial elites, and that his New Deal policies mirrored "corporate socialism," which centralized economic power. It also touches upon attempts by certain American business figures to establish a fascist-style government in the United States, and highlights how information regarding these connections was sometimes suppressed.
