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, 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 two thousand and two, really putting the rubber to the

road, as in 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 gonna take

another six to twelve, maybe eighteen months to get rid of

some of these people. And the parliaments, God knows how long it's gonna take to

get rid of the people there. We painstakingly

crafted Europe

in the image we wanted.
