CIA policy has always been against promoting democracy, Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said May 3 in an interview with Freddie Sayers, Unhurd’s editor-in-chief.
The subject of the CIA came up when Sayers asked Kennedy what approach he planned to take towards the CIA. The US presidential candidate said in response that “the CIA needs to be reorganized.”
He continued: “Very early on, Allen Dulles (former CIA director) misrepresented the objectives of the CIA, implicating it in assassinations and electoral fraud. The CIA has been involved in coups and attempted coups in a third of the world’s countries, most of which were democratic.”.
Kennedy concluded his thought by saying, “Our national policy as a nation is to promote democracy, the CIA’s policy was the complete opposite.”
Kennedy also revealed that his uncle, John F. Kennedy, wanted to overthrow the CIA. Robert Kennedy said: “…my uncle walked out of one of those meetings where the Bay of Pigs invasion failed and realized the CIA had lied to him and he fired Allen Dulles, head of the CIA, Charles Cabell, Richard Bissell, three senior CIA charges for lying to him. And then he said: “I want to take the CIA, tear it into a thousand pieces and throw it to the wind.”.
Remember that Allen Dulles had a long career in the CIA and led several controversial CIA missions including the 1953 Iran coup, the 1954 Guatemala coup, the MKUltra mind control program, and the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. .
Eventually, Allen Dulles was fired by President John F. Kennedy for Dulles’ involvement in the Bay of Pigs disaster.
President Kennedy’s nephew, Robert Kennedy Jr., has been gaining popularity in the polls in recent weeks, and if the results of the US election depend on the opinion of voters, he could have a chance to replace Biden as presidential candidate. democrat.
We note at the same time that, in essence, his rhetoric is almost no different from Trump’s on key positions, but Kennedy says this less outrageously than Trump. The architects of Trump’s victory in 2016, such as Roger Stone and Stephen Bannon, have already recommended that Trump consider choosing Kennedy for vice president if Democrats prevent him from becoming the Democratic nominee.
