AMERICA HAS BEEN CAPTURED by its own military-industrial complex, which is why it uses CIA dirty tricks to create problems around the world. So said US presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr this week. He is going to become president and change this, he pledged in an interview with UnHerd.

STOP CREATING PROBLEMS
As president, Kennedy said, he will make the US a source of peace instead of conflict.
.
“I’m going to look at how we de-escalate tensions between the great powers: between China, between the United States and Russia.
.
“How do we let these countries deal with their neighbours without pressure from the United States that makes them feel like they’re going to have to go into a military mode?”
.

MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IS IN POWER
“We have to recognise that it’s not just our civilian agencies that have been captured by industry — the military agencies, the Pentagon, and particularly the intelligence agencies have been captured by the military-industrial complex,” he said.
.
“We have to recognise that and we have to say: ‘We don’t want constant wars in our country; we can’t afford them.’”

JFK WANTED TO SHATTER THE CIA
His famous uncle, President John F Kennedy, said that he realized “that the CIA had devolved into an agency whose function was to provide the military-industrial complex with a constant pipeline of new wars.”
.
For this reason, he wanted to “take the CIA and shatter it into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the wind”.

DIRTY TRICKS MINDSET
The CIA is a big organization with patriotic staff but there are clearly very problematic areas, Robert Kennedy Jr said.
.
“But I think we really need to separate the espionage functions of that agency and the Plans Division, the division that actually does dirty tricks, that kills people, that makes wars, that involves itself in actions,” he said.
.
“Because what happens is, that operations tail begins to wag the espionage dog.”
.
He believes the CIA was corrupted decades ago. “And very, very early on, [former CIA leader] Allen Dulles essentially corrupted the purpose of it by getting the CIA involved in assassinations and fixing elections.”
.

IMMENSE SCALE OF CIA-STIRRED CONFLICT
“The CIA has been involved in coup d’etats and attempted coup d’etats in about a third of the countries in the world, most of them democracies,” he said.
.
“So if our national policy as a country is to promote democracy, the CIA’s policy has been the opposite.”
.
.
.
.
WHAT THE CIA SEES AS “SUCCESSFUL”
Bizarrely, the CIA causes harm to both enemies and allies and thinks that’s a good thing, Kennedy explained.
.
“You overthrow a government in Iraq, and what happens: you create Isis,” he said.
.
“You then get involved in Syria, from Isis, and you drive two million refugees into Europe.
.
“Which destabilises democracy all over Europe, and basically causes Brexit.
.
“That’s the outcome of what the CIA considers a successful operation to depose Saddam Hussein.”
