CIA vs FBI

I remember being a young kid. I am the youngest of all siblings. I used to get into fights or create problems, which would be dealt with by my elder brothers. They would intervene and clean up the mess their youngest brother would leave behind.

I was reckless, aggressive and completely spoiled. I violated all the rules that were set in place by our parents for all of us to follow and yet, I was the only child who was never spanked.

Little did I know that I would find similar traits in the behaviour of America's supreme intelligence agency. It has been widely accepted now that almost every terrorist the world has known was made in a CIA lab.

This is no more in the realm of conspiracy theories. Bin Laden was once called a freedom fighter and a hero by the CIA, which provided him weapons and support in order to keep the fight against the Soviets going.

I have lately been reading a book titled Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi. This is a topic I am really fascinated with. It is the story of how a beautiful Hollywood actress Sharon Tate, who had a promising career, was brutally murdered inside her Beverly Hills mansion on Cielo Drive by a bunch of hippies who were literally turned into human robots by their cult leader Charles Manson.

Manson told his followers including Tex Watson and others to go to the house of what he believed to be Terry Melcher's and kill whoever lived there. The human robot killers went there and killed a pregnant Sharon Tate and others. The FBI and the Los Angeles police arrested all the killers as well as their cult leader who were held responsible for the Tate-LaBianca murders.

However, what is hardly ever mentioned in this story is how Charles Manson was let out of jail years before these murders. He violated his parole and somehow kept roaming around freely. Another book titled Chaos by Tom O'Neill hints at a possible CIA connection to this.

The belief is that the CIA was obsessed with testing out methods and hallucinogens including the LSD to understand how mind control could be achieved and humans could be converted into robots.

The allusion in the book is that the CIA perhaps allowed these murders to take place and later also covered their tracks, all just to see the extent of this method.

Not much different from how the CIA allowed Khalid Al Mihdhar and Nawaf Al Hazmi to enter the US through the LAX airport in January 2000, while knowing about their plan to execute the big wedding terrorist attack on American soil.

The FBI later only started interviewing Manson from inside the prison just to understand what really causes people to kill innocent people just as it was kept in the dark about the activities of Al Qaeda on American soil in the months prior to 9/11.

There have been earlier experiments with the human mind inspired by Nazi techniques. Another CIA project back from the 1950s called Project MKUltra was designed to use experiments, methods and LSD called truth serum to weaken individuals and extract truth from them during extreme interrogations.

One such programme was executed by a Harvard psychologist Henry Murray who subjected Theodore John Kaczynski aka Ted Kaczynski aka Unabomber. Many so-called findings have very comfortably concluded that the extreme experiments that Ted was subjected to, which even Murray called "vehement, sweeping, and personally abusive", were not responsible for his complete mental breakdown later in his life.

The truth, however, is that it was exactly those mind control experiments that he was subjected to, which turned him into the Unabomber terrorist. Just like my childhood, the CIA created this mess only for the FBI to start getting involved into and try to fight it.

Quite funny to think that the agency that has been obsessed with truth serum never reveals the truth to the American people.
