The Rise Of America’s Secret Government

by | Nov 3, 2015

With creation of the Central Intelligence Agency came a secret government that was unaccountable to the American people. It assassinated foreign leaders, journalists, and others who it determined were enemies. It overthrew governments it felt were not toeing the US line to the required degree. There were minor smack-downs like the Church Committee in the 1970s, but in all the “secret government” has continued to amass power and defy the American people. What role did this secret government have in major events like the assassination of President Kennedy? Today’s Liberty Report is joined by David Talbot, author of the explosive new book, “The Devil’s Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America’s Secret Government.” Watch below:
