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.
