What world do you live in where MLs just want to murder people instead of dealing with them with compassion? And lmao at the weak connection with the CIA, as if they didn't spend the entirety of the 70s and 80s attempting to stop MLs.
i would add like 50s and 60s too
In other words ever since communism became a real thing
wasn't that really the main point of the OSS and CIA anyway?
Yep. The founding fathers of the CIA were Wall Street fascists and Nazi friendos. Got a bunch of horrific Nazis out of any punishment whatsoever. There were even rumors that FDR wanted to charge Allen Dulles with treason for befriending a bunch of Nazi brass during the war. Good thing for Dulles, the CIA, and Wall Street that FDR kicked the can before then, and even better that they had organized for their man (Truman) to be VP that term.
Tldr: the CIA was started by Nazi-sympathetic US capitalists as an anti-communist organization.
