There is a constant narrative being fed to us all. The purpose is to demonise Russia. Why is that do you think? Putin makes a lousy role model for an angel, but conversely he is not the devil incarnate either. His security forces act no differently to others. In fact there is far more in the public domain to make the CIA out to be far greater troublemakers than the KGB ever managed to be.
This constant poisonous drip feed of unsubstantiated rumour is designed to manipulate us all into supporting yet another major war in order the military industrial complex can keep up the profit margins.

Interestingly Kennedy, in one of his last speeches:
“The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it."
and:
"For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed."

He was shot shortly after.

Previously Eisenhower warned:
"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."

Its about time the citizenry became alert and knowledgeable methinks!
Who is deep state batting for I wonder?
