Thanks so much for posting this. Very enriching to hear these men speak. There may not be much more recorded with so candid descriptions.

4:57 To construct a wilderness of mirrors in which the opponent would be confused and forever lost. Well, that is what the Who Killed Kennedy? fun house turned out to be.

@@baldogtondo7017 Garrison was hung up on the CIA (and for good reasons.) Garrison was accused of protecting the New Orleans mob. Summer can say what he likes, but I believe he has said after all this time, he still doesn't know.

Would letting the world think that there is a mail opening program whether there is one or not be a good idea? Probably, sometimes perceptions are everything. People or agencies that operate out in the open whose activities are visible to everyone have to work within visible laws as well but those who work in a hidden world need a unique set of laws specifically for their world, those laws have to be based on those their opponents use, the need for transparency is totally irrelevant whether you live in a republic or a dictatorship.

I wonder if Aldrich Ames or Edward Snowden would have been able to do what they did under his watch? I think he was shaken after the Cambridge 5 and Kim Philby were exposed.

[@mathewmcdonald3657]

Ames was a criminal spy who betrayed his country for profit and to satisfy his wife and their expensive lifestyle. His crimes led to over a dozen executions and the exposure of American spies. Snowden informed his fellow countrymen of an illegal wiretapping and domestic espionage mission against them. To mention their names together is an insult to free thinking people.

Angleton know that the cold war was fake, he knew the USA was controlled by the same people who controlled Russian and created the USSR in 1917.

Otto Skorzeny, A feared Nazi soldier, Survived the war and never spent a day in prison. He was contracted by many intelligent agencies for his unique set of skills. After he died in Spain, they found plans in his home on how to assassinate Kennedy. I don’t know if he chose the men but there is reason to suspect he laid out the blueprint on how to do it. They also found off shore accounts that connected the CIA and Skorzeny . He is the one who implemented black ops or unconventional commando warfare to the Nazis. It’s my belief that this guys skills and philosophy heavily influenced the CIA , Mossad and elite special forces

[@rosesprog1722]

@@tommyharmon214 Yes, he did spend some time in jail in 1945 but being who hew was, he escaped, of course. I'm not sure he was specifically versed in triangulation shooting though, he was more of a strategist I believe. After the Mossad had hired him once he probably could relax a little, they weren't looking for him anymore, they knew where he was but one thing is sure, he had quite a life. As to the agency, they worked with Gehlen more than with him.
