when cnn came along the cia had a demand for them pretty much already inked, not even right to call it a deal

wb hugh

it was at and t who shook hands and let the cia have secret access to their trunk lines

And tech companies are letting the same thing happen with the NSA @OldHB

and when the nsa came along at and t did it again with their more advanced comms

yep

Is Elon and his companies independent or is he being controlled?

Although Apple fought back

I know elon does deals with the goverment sometimes

when cnn came along there were already demands from the u.s. government to allow the cia and the military to direct what they can print

Elon isn’t controlled

He only deals with the SEC and NASA

*what media corporations can print

I guess its good elon isnt controlled

The CIA was extremely fucked up

stifling livelihood like that probably made it all that much easier for at and t to buy up news companies, even without any extra help from the cia

In the 50s-60s especially

Gulf of Tonkin

Operation north woods

Etc

Mkultra

post ww2 phantoms made americans let the cia do whatever they want

Im outta herei gotta sleep

especially since ww2 put the screws on american thinking and education levels with all this whizbang about these new things computers and encryption

I’m Hugh Mungus

Some might ask Hugh Mungus what?

ppl were like, nope, better let the smart boys deal with all of that, here, have all the power and lack of oversight you need, in fact i never want to hear about it unless its important, in fact here let's have the civil defense corps inform us when threats are coming so you don't have to, in fact let's not even have to know you exist, in fact this conversation never happened o.k.

cia: o.k. sign here

The Cold War era set up the stage for the modern world

Heh yeah

Also civil liberties were much worse back then

joe public: okay, signing ... and ... done. alrighty now, you have yerself a good d--

cia *k-pow*

cia: somebody bury this guy. i have a signed letter to put in a vault.

the rest is h i s t y

I think jfk was assassinated by the cia

For rejecting operation north woods plan

😑

No. Cause he wanted to end the federal reserve

the fact that we in the u.s. of a. even *have* an authority figure or agency of the government who we have to be afraid of and know nothing about but what they tell us is fucked up enough to basically just see it as like a suspension of the entire premise of america itself

@Poppy welcome

Yeah he spoke out against his own bloodlines

The powers that be
