Big Intel: How the CIA and FBI Went from Cold War Heroes to Deep State Villains

Big Intel: The Rise and Fall of the US Intelligence Apparatus The story of the FBI and CIA's transformation from Cold War heroes to tools of a growing police state is a dramatic and revealing one. Once dedicated to fighting America's enemies at home and abroad, these institutions have become embroiled in a growing police state, targeting the left's political enemies and spying on ordinary citizens. The roots of this transformation can be traced back to a loose network of Marxist academic agitators known as the Frankfurt School, whose ideology appealed to the Ivy League elites populating the CIA. The FBI, however, took longer to succumb, with its staunchly anti-Communist director, J. Edgar Hoover, initially impeding the subversion of the bureau. Despite this, both institutions eventually fell under the control of cultural Marxists, leading to a shift towards political correctness and "pride" propaganda. Today, the intelligence services are trapped in a "diversity, equity, and inclusion" house of mirrors, with agents struggling to maintain their independence. This book chronicles the parasitic infiltration of the CIA and FBI, revealing the emergence of a leftist security state. By understanding the origins of this phenomenon, Americans may be able to defang Big Intel and return their intelligence services to the service of democracy.
