In a country with a properly functioning government, Mr. Morell would have been brought up on serious charges the moment he made this admission. In America today, it's business as usual, and few people even blink.

We still have time. The previous DOJ was working with them, lets see if Pam and Cash feel differently about his. YOu do know Jim Jordon has been working hard to document all of this and refer them to a DOJ that was not listening.

DOJ should be defunded. Let mossad pay them. It's very likely that is who they work for.

This is not persuasive. The text does not say that he willingly lied. It says that he announced what he announced in part because he wanted Biden to win. Thus the timing and the intention are one thing, but producing falsehood still remains another matter. (And I’ll leave aside the problem of trusting Jim Jordan to tell the truth about just about anything.)

I’ve read the book and its female sequel: The Sisterhood-Women of the CIA, both which bring us current in American govt history…but these books cause me to continually ask: Why do We the People keep acting shocked about all this, when we subconsciously and consciously knew it was happening right before our eyes: What makes any of us think we have the right to live in denial of this CIA sell out, dating back to FDR’s sell out of the causes of The Great Depression and World War 2, that lead to the creation of the OSS and CIA…with us thinking we can get away with: “Uhu!!!! I dunno!!!”

Knowledge has proven that it doesn’t make men out of cowards, in the name of awareness! GO TRUMP, VANCE AND TULSI GABBARD🇺🇸

“If we are right,” they added, “this is Russia trying to influence how Americans vote in this election, and we believe strongly that Americans need to be aware of this.”

Another Marxist tactic to take over the country. They got a long way under Biden.

The primary reason these piece of shit liars get away with this all is because there are never any real consequences of measure.

Everyone continually gets rich corrupting every aspect of our civics and what we get as the afflicted public is passing mentions of truths some 4 & 5 years later.

James Comer couldn't come up with a single indictment after 4 years of following the money? Nope. But he had a book...and he was out there promoting it the day Biden left office.

So fucking sick of it.

thank you. A commie friend tells me Trump is seeking revenge? Now i showed him intent which changes the whole story. This also blows up Brennans media blitz using weasel words to try and get out of the narrative.

I read the devil‘s chessboard. It is not a book without its own glaring ideological aims. I noticed right at the start through the first three chapters that its purpose was a hatchet job on Alan Dulles’ role as an agent of the OSS. But what was the mission of the OSS and the CIA in the early days? Clearly, it was to defeat fascism and to win the second world war. So the author basically undermines that common cause for the sake of the noble cause to defeat Nazis so as to rescue the Jews but says nothing about the evils represented by Stalin and the Leninist goal of the Comintern, world revolution. The CIA would later be a counter force to this new threat equivalent to the evil Nazis. Why is Talbot silent about the tens of millions who were killed by the Soviet Union and communism? If Talbot doesn’t wish to give the CIA and Allen Dulles credit for fighting the communist threat, what does that say about Talbot‘s own preferences during the Cold War? Like Weiner and his book, Legacy of Ashes, it’s a hatchet job on the agency, which was using very questionable means to avoid a Third World war where millions upon millions would certainly die in a war with the nuclear armed Soviet union. Clandestine wars resort to nefarious tactics which involve covert operations to a defeat the enemy we didn’t eliminate, as Patton would argue the necessary cause but to no avail. Far fewer people would die in an amoral clandestine war than in a conventional war to preserve the free world. I grew up during that early Cold War era and many Americans who were aware of the Soviet threat agreed that communism and its foreign agents could be fought in an unseen war for the sake of avoiding conventional and nuclear war. Anyone that worked for our sake in western intelligence agencies, had to do things that we would say are immoral and unethical, but that was for a greater good. The CIA made mistakes, especially with the mind control program and they crossed the line in the Olsen case.

Was Kennedy being a diplomat by allowing the Bay of Pigs to fail or was he weak? He campaigned as an ardent anti communist but wound up having to negotiate with Khrushchev a year later because of the failure to take out Castro when he had the chance. In the heat of the Cuban missile crisis, I later read an anecdote where the president was waffling in fear about what to do when he was discussing the matter with his father, Joseph Kennedy. The patriarch of the family looked at his son, and said, parenthetically, “well, maybe you ought to just let Lyndon handle the situation if you don’t have the determination to get this resolved.”

So here we are many decades later, and the problem of revolution is still a factor that threatens the West. You may not think that the Communists are still a threat but that would be a fatal mistake. And what would a communist like to see? One of two things: control of the CIA by communists, or the complete destruction of the CIA by misinformed Americans demanding its destruction? The answer should be reforming the CIA, once again, so that it primarily produces intelligence to defend America from external enemies, and to prevent that agency from crossing over with the function of the FBI in internal matters.

In all honesty, all of these things that I’ve written screamed out at me as I was reading another book that sensationalizes and airs the dirty laundry without a truly objective analysis.

Thanks for clarifying. It is always nice to hear from an experienced viewpoint. However, it seems that the Biden’s felt blatantly entitled to obstruct justice of this great nation for their own financial benefit.

Sure, Talbot is a lefty. And yes, defeating communism was a good thing. But his criticisms of the CIA and Dulles are still true. And his history is solid.

They wanted a puppet to stay in power to keep it easy to continue as our shadow government.

Firing 51 isn't enough. The CIA should be abolished, it's been rogue since its inception. As are most of our intelligence and policing agencies, i.e. the NSA, FBI, ATF, etc.

I think they're dug in so deep that you would have to start from scratch.

Odd though (don’t you think?) just how far Trump is currently going to placate Vladimir Putin; to normalise his invasion of a sovereign nation and the murder of thousands of it’s people; to try and paint Zelensky as some sort of con man; literally threatening him with the abandonment of Ukraine if he doesn’t kiss the ring and do as he is told (which looks very much like doing Vlad’s bidding)

Y’know……. just….. odd??

Another good book about the Dulles brothers era is Brothers, by Stephen Kinzer, who also wrote All The Shah's Men.
