CIA Boasted About Lying to Congress. Shocking? Only If You Read Axios.
The mainstream, via an Axios report, informs us the CIA openly 'boasted' about tricking Congress regarding Lee Harvey Oswald's Cuba ties in the late 70s. This isn't a revelation; it's practically a founding principle. The agency, established in 1947, has a documented history of prioritizing opacity over accountability, whether in coups or domestic operations. One might wonder why it takes decades
for such 'boasts' to surface, and inevitably, years more for anyone to face consequences. This isn't an isolated incident. The CIA's pattern of deception stretches from Operation Mockingbird's alleged media manipulation to more recent 'intelligence failures' surrounding weapons of mass destruction. One needs only recall the Senate Intelligence Committee's 2014 report on CIA torture, which
documented systematic misrepresentation to Congress and the public. So, while Axios 'reports,' we're left to ponder: how many more 'boasts' are still classified, and at what point does habit become policy?
