32. CIA front companies and other black money support torture
Sat Apr 12, 2014, 05:19 PM

The CIA pays other contractors to help hide their torture. They compartmentalize their operations to hide what they do from others in their own agency. Plus since their budget is hidden except to the House and Senate socalled oversight committees they even hide that and more as we have seen.

Gun running,money laundering, arms dealing, drug running, private prisons ie Poland, and even legitimate business plus other hidden money makers are lucrative businesses which can support CIA actions which will never be caught in any Congressional oversight because its out of the loop and provides millions if not billions for black op agendas.

Since I've dealt with FOIAs we are finding that
the use of private contractors now puts the FOIA outside of its jurisdiction. Boz Allen is an example
that the NSA uses so citizens can not see what the government is doing. So you know have a government inside of a government. that's really running the show.


This tortue story is like others have said is just a tip of the iceberg.
