James Jesus Angleton summed up his career in the CIA in a mid 1980’s interview with author, Joseph Trento:
“You know how I got to be in charge of counterintelligence? I agreed not to polygraph or require detailed background checks on (Wall Street lawyer and spy) Allen Dulles and 60 of his closest friends. The real problem, Angleton concluded, was that “there was no accountability. And without real accountability everything turned to xxxx.
You know, the CIA got tens of thousands of brave people killed… (ETK: Actually, the figure is estimated in the range of 6 to 30 million). We played with lives as if we owned them. We gave false hope. We – I – so misjudged what happened.
Fundamentally, the founding fathers of U.S. intelligence were liars. The better you lied and the more you betrayed, the more likely you would be promoted. These people attracted and promoted each other. Outside of their duplicity, the only thing they had in common was a desire for absolute power.
Allen Dulles, Richard Helms, Carmel Offie, and Frank Wisner were the grand masters. If you were in a room with them you were in a room full of people that you had to believe would deservedly end up in hell. I guess I will see them there soon.”

“I toiled wholeheartedly in the vineyards because it was fun, fun, fun. Where else could a red-blooded American boy lie, kill and cheat, steal, deceive, rape and pillage with the sanction and blessing of the All-Highest?”

“It is the function of the CIA to keep the world unstable, and to propagandize the American people to hate, so we will let the establishment spend any amount of money on arms….” -John Stockwell, Ex-CIA Station Chief and highest CIA employee to “go public”
Coming to grips with these US/CIA activities in broad numbers and figuring out how many people have been killed in the jungles of Laos or the hills of Nicaragua is very difficult. But adding them up as best we can, we come up with a minimum figure of 6 million- and this is a minimum figure. Included are: one million killed in the Korea War, two million killed in the Vietnam War, 800,000 killed in Indonesia, one million in Cambodia, 20,000 killed in Angola, and 22,000 killed in Nicaragua. These people would not have died if the US taxdollars had not been spent by the CIA to inflame tensions, finance covert political and military activity, and destabilize societies.
