Video Summary

The transcript features a discussion about the perceived competence and operational effectiveness of the CIA. Initially, it explores the idea that the agency has become overly bureaucratic and less effective, with some suggesting it's "not evil enough" and doesn't take significant risks. This is contrasted with views that the CIA remains a powerful, dangerous entity involved in covert actions, regime change, and intelligence gathering, even within the United States, citing historical examples and whistleblower revelations. A significant portion delves into the concept of "continuity of government" (COG) and underground facilities like Mount Weather, highlighting how the CIA is intentionally excluded from COG operations due to concerns about its potential involvement in catastrophic events. The discussion also touches on the difficulty in accounting for vast sums of money within the Pentagon, attributed to secret programs and a lack of transparency.

An interesting fact revealed is that the CIA deliberately excludes itself from Continuity of Government (COG) plans, a strategic move to avoid potential conflicts of interest or suspicion should a disaster occur that the CIA might be implicated in

Key Details

The CIA: Bureaucracy vs. Effectiveness [00:00]

The speaker, a former CIA employee, describes the agency as a "big lumbering bureaucracy with a lot of stupid people," contrasting this with the portrayal in James Bond films.
The sentiment is echoed by another speaker who quotes Jenkuger suggesting the CIA is "not evil enough" and questions if they take risks like infiltrating groups.
This perspective is challenged by the idea that the CIA is actively involved in covert actions and regime changes, and that intelligence failures are more a matter of compartmentalization than incompetence.

"No, there are a lot of dopes."

Historical Involvement and Creation of Groups [01:14]

A former CIA officer discusses the agency's historical role, stating, "We never even infiltrated al-Qaeda. We invented them anyway."
This led to the creation of groups that partially morphed from the mujahideen, and these groups were armed, with an acknowledgment that "we created them," citing Hillary Clinton.
The misguided belief that these groups could be manipulated is seen as naive, resulting in significant loss of life, including the 9/11 attacks.

CIA's Role in Global Stability and Covert Actions [04:26]

Scott Ritter is quoted stating that the CIA is the "greatest threat to global stability" and is involved in more violations of law than any other organization.
The assertion that the CIA doesn't overthrow governments is deemed "crazy," with claims of its involvement in such actions since the Italian election of 1949.
The concept of "inner agency" is questioned, with the idea that information is heavily compartmentalized, preventing many within the organization from knowing the full scope of operations.

"The CIA is the greatest threat to global stability in the world."

Continuity of Government (COG) and CIA Exclusion [11:33]

The term "deep state" is attributed to Peter Dale Scott and discussed in relation to "continuity of government" (COG).
It's highlighted that the CIA has "nothing to do with COG" and is intentionally kept out.
This exclusion is seen as a smart move to avoid implicating the CIA in potential disasters, especially if the agency itself had a hand in them.
Underground facilities like Mount Weather and Denver are mentioned as COG sites for the designated elite.

Financial Discrepancies and Secret Programs [16:05]

The discussion touches upon the missing $20 trillion (or potentially $4 trillion) from the federal government, attributed to secret programs and waste.
Price Waterhouse Cooper's attempts to audit the Pentagon's accounting system were unsuccessful, leading them to abandon the effort.
The existence of these underground bases is linked to nuclear war preparedness from the Edward Teller era.
