CIA Influence on European Politics

I take some hope from the fact that I was there.

I know what we did. I know

what we did to Europe. I know how painstakingly

the agency,

CIA, how painstakingly SIS,

MI6,

and to a certain extent Mossad, though they weren't in the

beginning willing partners, they became partners because they saw how

much

money was going into it.

How we, in this Asian scholar's words, taught

the dogs to bark.

We bought newspaper editors. We bought labor union

heads. We bought parliamentarians.

We bought two secretaries general, Jens Stoltenberg and

Mark Rutte. We bought whole countries in terms

of their political apparatus and what influences them.

Starting in 2002, really putting the rubber to the

road, as is billions of dollars to the CIA

and others.

USAID was an instrument. They weaponized liberal

democracy. We created the Europe that exists right

now on purpose.

And now we're paying the piper for that, I think, because

it's going to take another six to 12, maybe 18 months

to get rid of some of these people. And the parliaments, God knows how long

it's going to take to get rid of the people there.

We painstakingly crafted Europe

in the image

we wanted.
