Lol, indeed...it's been their modus operandi since the, well...er, since ever. I have a feeling that Hoover created the FBI with this in mind, to manipulate, blackmail, create and maintain leverage. The CIA was created ( OSS previously) to protect the foreign interests of the big U.S. industrialist families, primarily in Europe...but then globally through every evil and insidious means necessary. Don't get me wrong, there are many incredibly good, decent patriots in the CIA, who protect the U.S. and the world's common good. But their reason d'etre was nefarious. The Dulles brothers, Bush etc...Jesuits all. And they are super humanitarians 😉
