Bay of Pigs, WMD's, etc...the list of treasonous acts is very long.....This agency is not about America's interest...They do the work for the globalist and MIC. Donald Trump ran on the promise to put America's interest first...CIA has to be eliminated.


Another little damning factoid is that the CIA had no idea that the USSR was about to collapse. How did they miss that?

Overstated.
National security, defense and war are all built on basis of economics. That is never more true than in the case of a cold war. Reagan recognized that, as did the CIA. We spent (and bluffed, aka SDI) the USSR into oblivion. When a win is inevitable, speed and nature of enemy collapse is the only question. CIA analysis was off in timeframe of the latter, mainly because speed of collapse was on one far extreme of a predictable range.

The problem with our current CIA is leadership, oversight, and response to both.
