AP IMPACT: Before the CIA, there was the Pond
What Zoltan Pfeiffer, a top political figure opposed to Soviet occupation, his wife and 5-year-old daughter did not know as they were whisked out of Hungary in 1947 was that their driver, James McCargar, was a covert agent for one of America’s most secretive espionage agencies, known simply as the Pond.
Created during World War II as a purely U.S. operation free of the perceived taint of European allies, the Pond existed for 13 years and was shrouded in secrecy for more than 50 years. It used sources that ranged from Nazi officials to Stalinists and, at one point, a French serial killer.
It operated under the cover of multinational corporations, including American Express, Chase National Bank and Philips, the Dutch-based electronic giant. One of its top agents was a female American journalist.
Now the world can finally get a deeper look at the long-hidden roots of American espionage as tens of thousands of once-secret documents found in locked safes and filing cabinets in a barn near Culpeper, Va., in 2001 have finally become public after a long security review by the Central Intelligence Agency.
The Pond, designed to be relatively small and operate out of the limelight, appeared to score some definite successes, but rivals questioned its sources and ultimately, it became discredited because its pugnacious leader was too cozy with Sen. Joseph McCarthy and other radical anti-communists.
The documents also highlight issues still relevant today: the rivalry among U.S. intelligence agencies that have grown to number 16, the government’s questionable use of off-the-books operations with budgets hidden from congressional oversight, and the reliance on contractors to undertake sensitive national security work.
...
FBI historian John Fox said only one safe was removed from the property by the contractors and drilled open, its contents turned over to the CIA, which informed the bureau about the discovery in December 2001. Fox said the FBI recovered four other safes from the council and took them to Quantico to be opened. After an investigation, Fox said the remaining documents were transferred to the CIA.

There will be a sign. An unquestionable sign, and that sign will be the spark, and the resulting light will burn brighter than anything that anyone has ever seen before.

Just internal anger that doesn't yield any actions.
If our filled-with-anger and dementia President doesn't trigger WWIII first.
The man is getting closer to forcing a major war.
The news media isn't reporting how Russia is prepping faster, as Biden sends bigger, more lethal weapons to Ukraine. $800 million last week, and a new $800 million shipment going out this weekend of more lethal weapons.
Source: www.forbes.com...
Didn’t Hillary say war with Russia was one of her first priorities if she were elected?
They never thought she would lose, but plans get adjusted.
Whoever is pulling Biden’s strings may be looking to resume that agenda. At the very least, I think it’s fair to say there are factions that would love to see a US war with Russia.
This business of sending Ukraine more and more increasingly lethal weapons… What do they actually hope to accomplish? (Besides transferring taxpayer money into the coffers of the weapons manufacturers) For that matter, what does Russia hope to accomplish at this point?
All our information, from whatever the source, has been propagandized, if not outright falsified.
It’s like everything else for the last couple years; really sinister vibes, but amidst the disinformation it’s impossible to know for sure what is truly happening or what it means. Or what it will lead to.

The Georgia Tech researchers embroiled in the Alfa Bank hoax prepared white papers for the U.S. Department of Defense about the Democratic National Committee hack and created a “Mueller List” on the Russian intelligence agency hackers, the newly obtained documents indicate. The white papers were prepared for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), a section of the U.S. Department of Defense.
