Hello everybody, here we are with Daniel Ganza, and he's got a book out called USA, The

Rufluss Empire, how the CIA has played a huge part in its expansion. Congratulations on

the book, and I'm looking at the contents table. The scope and breadth of this book is

it will probably take a weekend to interview you. What's going on here? Thanks for coming

on. Well, yeah, that's the book Sean, and thanks a lot for inviting me so we can talk

about it. We've got 30 minutes this evening, and I'd like to focus on the CIA. What are

your definitions of the CIA? Who do they work for? What do they do? What are they supposed

to do? They work for the rich to protect their vested interests. And how do they enforce

that? Well, for instance, you know, the CIA has one part which you call the analytic

department. So they look at world structures, see how many people live in Russia, how many

tanks they are in Russia, see whether the Chinese are building a new ship and these things.

So that's the analytics guys. They don't engage in paramilitary activities. They basically

read and then write and read and write and read. Very much like journalists, like professors

at university, they are the study guys. But there's another part which is the COVID action

department. And within the CIA, this COVID action department, for instance, can go in another

country and arm another group, which will then get into fighting with another group. So

in Nicaragua, they armed the contras and the contras would then fight with the Sandinistas.

And in Afghanistan, the CIA obviously was training Al Qaeda of Osama bin Laden in the 1980s

and then Al Qaeda was fighting the Soviets. So you basically arm somebody who then kills

your enemies. That's the paramilitary stuff. And specific examples, which make it easy

to understand that the CIA is protecting vested interests, is that the CIA in 1954 overthrew

the government of Guatemala. The government at the time of Jacobo Arbins was the president.
