Our main piece this week is an interview with David Talbot on his 2015 book, The Devil's Chessboard, which centers on the early CIA and especially the role of Allen Dulles. The observations made about Dulles correlate pretty closely with what is known about the Deep State in the USA. We conclude with Adam Lebor throwing light on another of history's dark corners - the Basel based Bank For International Settlements.
Thanks to Black Ops Radio for the David Talbot interview, which is carried out by Len Osanic and Jim DiEugenio. Thanks to Tony Gosling for the interview with Adam Lebor.
Our main piece this time is a 100 minute interview from October 2015 of David Talbot about his new book, The Devil's Chessboard. This centers on the life of Allen Dulles, and observes that, by regularly ignoring orders and effectively following a private foreign policy he became a key figure in the establishment of the US deep state. We shall hear next time how little oversight the CIA was subject to. We conclude with a short interview of Adam Lebor, about his book on the shadowy Bankers' central bank, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).
