Show 14-10 Summary: We continue our discussion with CIA whistleblower Pedro Israel Orta. This week, we look deeper into the CIA itself and the Deep State. We ask about rogue operations. And his take on the recent leak to the NY Times about CIA operations in Ukraine (proving Putin right, no less, so why do it?). And what about the control the CIA and Deep State have over presidents? Is it real? It”s been going on all the way back to Eisenhower and Kennedy. Did the CIA kill Kennedy? And what about that myth of “good people” in the government? Why don’t they do something?

This Week – Digging Deeper into the CIA

CIA officer turned CIA whistleblower Pedro Israel Orta spent some 18 years in the CIA. And when he encountered abuses by a CIA Chief of Base in Afghanistan, he felt compelled to report it. But he quickly found out that whistleblower protections were basically non existent. Because he was the one singled out for punishment. And he was eventually forced out of the CIA. But not before he got to see how other whistleblowers were treated within the intelligence community. Now Pedro is on a mission to reveal the CIA for what it is — from an insider’s view point.

If you missed last week’s show with CIA whistleblower Pedro Israel Orta, you might want to listen to that first, since it sets the stage for this week’s show.

What a CIA Whistleblower Knows

Pedro Israel Orta was an analyst and spent years in covert operations for nearly two decades. This week, we talk to him about in more depth about the CIA itself. And the Deep State intelligence community. Which is supposed to serve the president. But do they? Or are they on their own.

Pedro discusses how the CIA and its forerunners began to take power for itself going back to FDR. Eisenhower tried to warn us about the “military industrialized complex.” And being a former general, he was in a position to know about the rising power of the intelligence agencies. So we ask, why didn’t he do something other than warn us?

And what about Kennedy? He knew the CIA was trying to steer America into a war with Cuba. And Vietnam. And he was going to break up the CIA. So was the CIA involved with killing Kennedy? Yes, we ask.

And what about all those wars and military conflicts since Kennedy? Did the CIA manipulate America into all of them? How does the CIA control presidents into doing their bidding? Yes, we ask all that too.

But then there’s the recent New York Times disclosure that Putin was right. The CIA really was and is operating in Ukraine and using it as a front to attack Russia. (Naturally, the Times is blind to that admission, even though they give Putin all the evidence.) Was it all an intentional  leak? And if so, why?

More on Deep State Sabotage

• The prospect of a second Trump presidency has the intelligence community on edge (Politico, Feb 26, 2024)
  • Trump sought major changes at the intel agencies in his first term; former officials say he could be more radical in a second.
  • Fair warning: this whole article is rife with politics, including the spin that Trump might have colluded, we just can’t prove it. Even a pic of Trump shaking hands with Politico.
  • “Andrew McCabe, the then-deputy director of the FBI, said the bureau believed that was necessary to keep with a directive from then-President Barack Obama to compile all intelligence U.S. intelligence officials had on Russian meddling.” And that’s the problem. They stayed loyal to Obama, not the new president.
