Every once in a while the Libertarian part of Zyklon Ben's brain lights back up and he'll post something cool like that CIA one, this one or this much older one or kinda this one. Otherwise he defaults to the typical racist shit.
Ben Garrison is unironically the best political cartoonist of the modern era.
That MPD one is actually pretty solid...like it doesn't hit you over the head with labels lol
Yeah, basically from the jump they gave them power to essentially do anything. Once you remove civilian oversight and allow them to keep things secret they're just going to act with impunity.
They had autonomy from the US, but they did not control the US. It took awhile for the higher ups in the US government to be replaced with CIA loyalists.
Eisenhower could've fired Dulles without getting Oswald'd, Kennedy could not.
Oh, they were always shit, but they, and the rest of the deep state, didn't always have total control over US foreign policy.
They've gotten much more powerful over the years due to decline in the size of foreign intellegence agencies and ballooning budgets during the Bush years.
That has to be one of the worst depictions of JFK I’ve ever seen lol
