Economic Trends, International Banking, the World Oil Market, WTO, the IMF and The World Bank are top Courses at CIA’s new Institute of Higher Learning
The CIA is now operating a university somewhere in northern Virginia. According to an entry in a June 24 newsletter published by an association of former intelligence officers, some of the courses taught at the university are
“economic trends, international banking, the world oil market, and how the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, World Trade Organization, etc. and other non-governmental organizations work.”
For four years From The Wilderness has been teaching that the CIA’s primary role, its raison d’etre, was to serve the interests of Wall Street and the major banks. In our recent three-country lecture tour, our documentation of the close links between CIA and Wall Street has taken many by surprise. Thirty years ago Professor Peter Dale Scott of Berkeley disclosed that six out of the first seven Deputy Directors of Intelligence (CIA’s number two position) had gone directly from Wall Street into service at the Agency. Since September 11th, FTW’s disclosure that the CIA’s current Executive Director, A.B. “Buzzy” Krongard is a former investment banker has caused deeper rumbles. The firm he once headed, AlexBrown/Deutschebank, has been connected to insider trading on United Air Lines stock, just before the September 11th attacks. The NYSE’s current Executive Vice President for Enforcement, David Doherty, is a retired CIA General Counsel.
