The Truth About Wild Bill Donovan And The Precursor To The CIA: OSS

The historical record does not match the facts. The same problems plaguing OSS, have continued with CIA.

After 911, there were calls to end CIA in some quarters. It was pointed out the CIA didn't share information with the other 19 Intel agencies (and their subgroups), that it spent enormous amounts of time fighting and spying on these same agencies going so far as to recruit people in other groups to spy on them for CIA!  Few realize that the Directors of CIA answer to a board that restricts any reform. The vast majority of classified files are to hide incompetence and stupidity, usually of our politicians. Attempts to classify less and declassify more don’t get very far, politicians determine budgets! .............What most people don't realize...........is that the group CIA replaced, The Office Of Strategic Services (O.S.S.) had all the same criticisms leveled at it!

Infiltration of OSS by pro- Russian spies. John Grombach counted 15 spies in his OSS office alone, when you start adding up all the OSS offices here and abroad, this was a massive security breach.......Allan Dulles, the first head of CIA, would play a monumental role in bringing down Joe McCarthy- by feeding him a fake name and dossier on a military figure. Though still classified, look for a military leader accused by Joe McCarthy. Dulles himself had been completely compromised by the Germans in WW 2 and was pretty much useless during the war. He failed upwards. 

 The FBI record is also dismal. They often knew who the spies were in the FDR administration, but because they used illegal methods to gather their information none of them could be prosecuted. On record they could show they had the names, but off the record we now know why they didn’t prosecute them.

The top priority of both CIA and the FBI is protecting Democrats.

Along with the propaganda campaign to destroy Joe McCarthy, was a campaign to hide and disguise the true nature of the Democratic Party. .............FDR was the first President to go to J. Edger Hoover of the FBI and ask for information on the sex lives of his friends and foes. This began early in his first term, and FDR quickly began using the information to put his administration into a state of fear. While our government was being infiltrated by a giant Soviet shadow government, Hoover was busy sending his agents out to report on and entrap FDR's friends and enemies alike............To Read More....
