the beast that we are up against and has targeted so many people in this room.
Hillsdale asked me to speak about this particular topic, the history of the intelligence state. Obviously, the intelligence state is a concept that implies that intelligence has taken over the state and that it has somehow gone rogue. Something has gone very wrong—that intelligence, which is supposed to serve the state, has subsumed it.I will present the essential history of the intelligence state, but there is something beyond it that I think, beginning with, helps elucidate, and that may be the octopus that was just referred to. But we’ll come to meet it as we progress.I think the best way to understand this is to actually start the story in the middle, and then we will go back in time to the founding of the country. We’ll sort of speed-run the essential history, all the way up to the present. But we’re going to start in the year 1948. This is the “0 AD” of the founding of the intelligence capacities of the US government.Instead of doing what you’ll learn in an ordinary history book, we’re going to start with a document that I’m curious if anyone has ever seen. It’s called “The Inauguration of Organized Political Warfare.” Has anyone ever seen that document in this room? How many people in this room know the name George Kennan? OK, 75% of the hands went up.

This is a very good lecture on The CIA.
and it's rather long .... But an excellent read.
