@realBSaints At 37:40 Bob? Stevie? A bit of both? youtu.be/Qjp6v4cKLR0

@realBSaints Nah. When it’s for a good cause, magic happens. Example: Seems like Q got Stevie to fake a petrified Dylan’s part on ‘We Are The World’ to keep the show rolling. Who would’ve seen that coming?

“Then came Angleton’s halting speech, pausing as needed for “a sip of tea or a violent fit of coughing”: ANGLETON: You know how I got to be in charge of counterintelligence? I agreed not to polygraph or require detailed background checks on Allen Dulles and 60 of his closest friends. They were afraid that their own business dealings with Hitler’s pals would come out. They were too arrogant to believe that the Russians would discover it all. … The real problem was that there was no accountability. And without real accountability everything turned to shit. You know, the CIA got tens of thousands of brave people killed. … We played with lives as if we owned them. We gave false hope. We—I—so misjudged what happened. TRENTO (to the dying old man): How did it all go so wrong? ANGLETON (no emotion in his voice, his hand trembling): 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. I did things that, in looking back on my life, I regret. But I was part of it and loved being in it. … Allen Dulles, Richard Helms, Carmel Offie, and Frank Wisner were the grand masters.177 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” — from MARTYRS TO THE UNSPEAKABLE: THE ASSASSINATIONS OF JFK, MALCOLM, MARTIN, AND RFK, by James W Douglass
