In 1996, The house of Representatives’ Permanent Select committee on Intelligence released a huge report entitled “IC21: The intelligence Community in the 21^st Century.” Located in section IX. Clandestine Service, Buried amid hundreds of pages is a single, devastating paragraph:

 

‘The CS [clandestine service] is the only part of the IC [intelligence community], indeed of the government, where hundreds of employees on a daily basis are directed to break extremely serious laws in countries around the world in the face of  frequent sophisticated efforts by foreign governments to catch them. A safe estimate is that several hundred times every day (easily 100,000 times a year) Do [Directorate of Operations] officers engage in highly illegal activities (according to foreign law) that not only risk political embarrassment to the US but also endanger the freedom if not lives of the participating foreign nationals and, more than occasionally, of the clandestine officer himself.”

 

Amazingly, there is no explanation, no follow-up. The report simply drops this bombshell and moves on as blithely as if it had just printed a grocery list.

 

One of the world’s foremost experts on the CIA –John Kelly, who uncovered this revelation notes that this is “the first official admission and definition of CIA covert operations as crimes.” He goes on to say:

 

The report suggested that the CIA’s crimes include murder and that “the target of the CS [clandestine service] are increasingly international and transnational and a global presence is increasingly crucial to attack those targets.” In other words, we are not talking about simply stealing secrets. We are talking about the CIA committing crimes against humanity with de facto impunity and congressional sanctioning.

 

Other government documents, including CIA reports, show that the CIA’s crimes include terrorism, assassination, torture, and the systematic violations of human rights. The documents also show that these crimes are part and parcel of deliberate CIA policy.

 

 

U.S. State Department Policy Planning Study #23, 1948:

“Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity [U.S. military-economic supremacy]... To do so, we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and day-dreaming... We should cease to talk about vague and...unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of the living standards, and democratization. The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we are then hampered by idealistic slogans, the better.”

American domestic and foreign policy is now, and has always been, dictated fundamentally by economics — not by moral and political values.

 

...the CIA has overthrown functioning democracies in over 20 countries."
