- Some fascinating extracts from an interview with
James Angleton who retired in 1975 as the head of counter-intelligence at the CIA. For more than 50 years, he was one of America’s top counter-spies, and as such, one of the most influential men in the world.
He is firmly convinced that, ever since the war, the Soviet Union has been engaged in a drive for world domination, and that the KGB has played a major part through its intelligence services.

Mr. Angelton said, “We are dealing with a bunch of liars when we deal with the Soviet Union.” Boy, I’m glad we have the CIA here in this country. They never lie to us!
Even an imperfect democracy is preferred to a totalitarian state. Fock Russia. 🤠
He was the last honest man, you dingbat. He resigned because he didn't accept the faulty intelligence that suggested Oswald was a Russian spy.
@@markanthony7798 Today it's looking like Russia will literally be freer than the West. I'm talking mandates on experimental sauce, it not in Russia but here in our crooked bullshit democracies. The CIA plays into that, and so does the FED. It was taught by British Intel to serve the oligarchy, and the oligarch has focking lost it, just look at news, its worse than Soviet level.
Hahahaha😂🤣😅😆😁😄, I know that’s right, but we are blind to the faults of our own family’s and yet we can always spot the tiniest of blemishes on the face of another
But honestly I think that Russian citizens are as just unaware of the evil stuff that their government does just as we are uninformed about the evil things that our government has done, and the people who feed on conflict and grow fat on the sorrow of the fallen patriots and their loved ones and that is all countries, their lies and half truths and propaganda media machines are under the thumb of the same shadowy figures that wield the real power in secret behind the puppet regimes who they have put in office and it doesn’t matter where they come from or what stories they tell us to keep us in fear of our fellow man, so that we keep buying their guns and 💣, so that they can keep getting richer and richer, while they gorge themselves on the souls of the fallen heroes of their own soldiers and they have murdered untold millions around the world and they have never served a day,( case and point ; George Bush jr and the WMBs and a million dead Iraqis, or his father that is complicit in the assassination of our own President, as he was filmed leaving the book depository on the day those evil pukes stole our freedom and the dreams of that freedom for the coming generations and to see him laugh when he was asked about it was an affront to every decent hard working man and woman, and to everyone who has ever suffered the honor and the privilege of donning a uniform to protect their own country and it made me very angry 😤 he has never bothered to tell us why he was there

Me too!I have been an Intelligence Fanatic for years and now saw this.
winston maraj from all accounts he was a real creep. I can see that. I read he was in love with JFK mistress Mary Meyer Pinochet. He got her diary after her murder, was caught sneaking into the home. He apparently did not care for Kennedy at all.
Search "church committee james angleton" and there's a 45 minute long congressional hearing where he's testifying.
What have you heard. I am interested
@@jorgemarangunich490 there's a lot. He was a CIA head. He had involvement in JFK'S assassination. Heavily involved in his mistresses murder a year after, Mary Meyer. I think he may have been involved in the murder of Mary Sherman from the book "Mary's monkey". He just a pos CIA spook. Corrupted and crooked as hell. Everybody thought he was odd and strange that knew him. He was a company man.
Fascinating. I'm something of an espionage buff, so I have read a lot about Angleton, and this is the first time I have heard him talking in an interview
Hay. I'm looking for a book on james anglton. I know theres afew out there but could you reccomend one??

indeed he did
@Generic Name I think he made a few rules himself..
I've found that all anti-c0mmunist rhet0ric from the west (especially U$A) is projection

Sure. Not even sure you know what he did for work.
History has a tendency to repeat itself we must guard against the mistakes of the past That is the lesson of history
Up to and including communism.
He's a good person but a bit esoteric and a bit romantic! Philby liked him for obvious reasons!
When he speaks of the Soviets, it seems that he is describing the CIA itself.
Indeed, but how should it be different?
Secret services are quite similar everywhere ;-)
No he's talking about the democrat party. Same thing.
Alice Wonderland, precisely what does Angleton say about the Soviets that causes you to want to change the subject to the CIA?
I heard his name in Connection with Lee Oswald and JFK ASSASSINATION
Alice, when you find out the real truth, you'll honor Angelton...Of course, unless you're a Russian troll.

@@muffin6369hello, if you want to cooperate, write

If you replace KGB with CIA in literally every description of its actions by Angleton, you also have a one hundred percent accurate history of the agency.
Basically they kill Kremlin opponents in order to make it seem like KGB or Putin killed their opponents, anyone that gets cozy with the USA gets dead and becomes a "victim" of the oppressive Soviets and Putin!!!!
Dumb
CIA didn’t execute double agents.
Different tentacles of the same beast.
Angleton was at least as much of a fanatic as Kim Philby ever was.
Philby trained Angleton in CI, ironically enough. During ww2 when the brits helped set up the OSS.
Angleton kept autopsy pictures of Bobby Kennedy. I think that speaks volumes for this ghoul.
Love all the cold war video recommendations. Very interesting in late 2022
hello, if you want to cooperate, write
On the first minute if you replace Soviet Union with USA, it makes sense
Old ghoul talks of KGB atrocities when "the company" he worked for was guilty of the same and then some.
You're off by about 3 orders of magnitude 😂moran
He knew philby during the war, when philby was in washington, with burgess as his house guest, angleton met with philby every week for lunch and he was head of counter intelligence
Philby was smart. Like in the Godfather, when Michael asks Carlos, who was it ? TaTalia.
Philby was a coup, there is no organization viler than British Intel and their machinations around the globe. I mean handing Russia over to the Bolsheviks so Lord Rothschild could prospect their oil, organized crime, pederasty rings, cults, serial killer shit shows, false flag terror, it all originated in British Intel, they taught the CIA everything they know. No wonder the hardline CIA guys are getting airtime on "Thames TV".
@@hilldoggydogg635 .......false on handing over Russia to the Bolsheviks. See: .......Lockhart Plot........ Sidney Reilly ........ Promethian League ...... NSZRiS ....... Boris Savinkov ....... Intermarium ....... George A. Hill ........ Francis Cromie........ Paul Dukes ....... Lt. Augustus Agar ......ABN ..... ROVS ..... Baron General Wrangel ......
- - - understanding these provides mountains of evidence to deflate your bullshit balloon....
In effect Angleton was lunching with the KGB!
@@dianamincher6479 Of course you are correct. Philby was one of the most damaging spies in the Cold War.
It is thought that Angleton had a really hard time with the betrayal, and the impact of it fueled the freakiness he pursued after Golitsin defected and sent Angleton on a crippling, fruitless mole hunt.
If anyone asks who killed JFK - on balance the shortest answer is to provide Angleton’s name.
He is the core piece of the puzzle- without him it would not have happened in my opinion.
And easy to cover up when you have photos of Hoover engaged in flagrante delicto with Clyde Tolson like Angleton did.
Allen Dulles in my opinion.
Along with Mary Meyer.
Ben-gurion imo
🤡 shit. Good day, sir
You can see how quickly he gets triggered when someone questions his worldview....just the kind of guy who it was safe to have at the helm of unchecked and unaccountable power. He was the lone nut, not Oswald.
Too true. Like all sociopaths, wrapped too tight. These fools are the reason the worlds' in shitstate.
@@dominicseanmccann6300 Sadly true!!!
I don't think you know what had happened to him. He was in fact an honorable and serious man who felt surrounded often by sociopaths and his deal was traitors INSIDE CIA. He got into something like a corkscrew inside a corkscrew; his meticulous calm mind shattered.THEN quacks who wanted him off track at CIA...treated him with LSD & a TON of psych meds. This after calling him a nutjob paranoid since '69. He was a distant family friend, certain of this mole problem that he couldn't fix. I have sympathy and perspective. He wasn't driven by greed or bloodlust; he grew orchids. He didn't trust colleagues the evolved decades later into the Panetta - Pompeo - Haspel - Petraeus rubric. JJA never wanted anything but the right stuff. Don't lump him in with the swamp who was engineering all sorts of crap. He was an EXPERT at detecting frauds. I think he got it right and that I even may know who one of the moles is. A-hole in Houston linked to Enron. Put it together....
@@jenniferfar Where do you source this from? First I’ve heard of it...
@@lebeautymarq8834 from father. Both of my grandfathers are founding OSS, also direct descent generation taps of the Sons of Liberty thread that specifically deals with counterfeiting, this became the earliest Secret Service. We owned a small place in Mexico that was a safe house, no family could use it for vacations. It's also found in numerous books but avoid the one with Dartmouth connections and most of the ones written after 9-11 do not have firsthand sources. He was in fact a family friend I was only 9 when he died and we're Christian Science heritage and know all too well what doctors will do to sabotage people who are on the scent of fraud.
he is portraited by Michael Keaton in The Company movie. i d very much recommend it.
Of some interest is the attempt by Soviets to crash Wall Street. JJA tried for years to expose and flip this op. 1 reason they retired him.
Too bad the movie was so f... awful. I read the book: waaaaay better. The movie literally took away huge chunks of the book. Not cool

I do think you DID have a hand in striking down "brother John", actually... you slippery eel.
I am reading “Cold Warrior” which portrays him as a paranoid CIA leader. I also read “Spy wars” by Tennet Bagley who portrayed him in a completely different light
Wow that's an awful lot of projection. Not that he is wrong, just that what he chooses not to say is that he and his organization were just as guilty (if not more so) of the charges he makes.

"It is now clear that we are facing an implacable enemy whose vowed objective is world domination by whatever means and at whatever cost. There are no rules in such a game. Hitherto acceptable norms of human conduct do not apply. If the United States is to survive, long-standing America concepts of "fair play" must be reconsidered. We must develop effective espionage services and must learn to subvert, sabotage and destroy our enemies by clever, more sophisticated and more effective methods that those used against US."
Doolittle Report September 30, 1954
“Accordingly just as, in counting, those who are not clever in manipulating their counters are taken in by experts, in the same way in arguments too those who are not well acquainted with the force of names misreason both in their own discussions and when they listen to others.”
“For this reason, then, and for others to be mentioned later, there are both deductions and refutations that appear to be genuine but are not really so.”
“Now for some people it is better worth while to seem to to be wise, than to be wise without seeming to be (for the art of the sophist is the semblance of wisdom without the reality, and the sophist is one who makes money from an apparent but unreal wisdom); for them, then, it is clearly necessary to seem to accomplish it without seeming to do so.”

Angleton was very" camera averse "
Angleton noted the agreement between the KGB and Cuban DGI... This same coalition trained and supported KGB agent Lee Harvey Oswald and his KGB wife Marina 🚩
@@kxkxkxkx What's your evidence base for asserting Marina was KGB?
10:35 "you don't have to be a great, or large, or wealthy country to have a good intelligence service. As long as you have the norms, as long as you have the disciplines, as long as you have the motivation, singleness of purpose, you can be a small service, have one great penetration, then you can move the world."

@@aardwolfx9273 LOL.

@@WorshipInTruth - creep. Bet his sight scared kids.
North Korea in a nutshell.
The KGB certainly undertook assassinations, and the CIA also practises what he euphemistically calls "executive action" as well. Angleton dissembled his entire life.
Angleton was only 23 in this interview
😂😂
My bold question to Angleton...
Mr. Angleton, you were quite diligent in ensuring that Lee Harvey Oswald was to be monitored and that his movements were to be consistently recorded and any and all documents copied into two separate files.
My question for you Mr. Angleton, and I apologize in advance for my bluntness, but I can't find another way to word this... why was there a period of halting that took place in tracking Oswald's plans, when it was aware that he was on route to Dallas, Texas?
It doesn't strike me that there would be any fear of breaking the charter rule that was set in place, because your operations were always so well organized and covert.
I'm just perplexed as to how Oswald was seemingly unnoticed upon his arrival to Dallas, Texas, since Oswald had been tracked the moment he landed in Mexico City.
CIA Chief of Western hemisphere David Atlee Phillips publicly ADMITTED in a live presentation in California with Mark Lane, that Oswald NEVER WENT to Mexico City in September 1963.......it was all a CIA LIE !!! The man in Mexico was an IMPOSTER as FBI Director Hoover had proven the very weekend of the assassination. The CIA was FRAMING Oswald !! Phillips also admitted this to his own brother before he died. However, the recently released secret JFK documents by Trump in 2017 contain a sworn statement by Watergate figure Frank Sturgis that Phillips WAS a COMMUNIST !!!.......and that the CIA and U.S. government was FULL of them !!!
@@johnfoster535 Sturgis was a kook who lied about working for the CIA. Phillips was also a kook who made up stories. It would be hard to find a pair of less reliable sources.
US counterintelligence tracked Lee Harvey Oswald since 1959, when he was the VERY FIRST US Marine to defect to the USSR ☝️ they knew he was in Dallas with his KGB wife Marina, but he convinced them he was a regular spy instead of an assassin 🎖️
“Mother” who couldn’t even catch Kim Philby, as Ted Shakley said what the hell was Angleton doing this whole time?
Well ... they were good friends... the betrayal must have hurt him a lot
The best counter-intelligence man on the planet and still managed to F-up the one thing he was trusted to be good at.
The British couldn't catch him either.
It was British responsibility to do their own housecleaning. Sadly Intelligence was a old boy's club, and if you had the right school tie you weren't vetted properly. The Cambridge and Oxford classes of the 1930s were heavily influenced by the Communists because they were the only ones standing up to Fascism at that point in Spain. Most grew out of it when Stalin's atrocities became known, but some, as we know, never did, and they were trained to hide in plain sight
..............said as if catching Philby would have been easy. Philby was extremely talented. He spied for over 25 years and escaped in 1962 before they could put the cuffs on him.

I think it's more nuanced than that. If you are working against a communist/socialist party in a Latin country, the opposition is going to be the pro Catholic faction. There would be very little tradition of two democratic but opposing parties. You pick your poison, and go with the one you're larger enemy supports. Don't forget Moscow had no time for democratic socialism either

Angleton was completely flummoxed when Kim Philby was finally exposed and defected. Philby had helped set up the entire counterintelligence approach of the CIA in the early postwar years. Angleton had complete faith in Philby.
Man, this dude was nuts. He should have taken more vacations and maybe even some compulsory time off. The end justifies the means kind of public servant who probably had some big figures executed...

No disagreement.
............................................found a pair of Nazis....................
he love`d the game
The irony of the James Jesus Angleton’s service was that he was mentored and was very close friend of ‘Kim Philby’ until the latter was somewhat unmasked as a Soviet agent in 1951 when Burgess and MacLean officially defected to USSR.
Therefore, Mr. Angleton who was extremely intelligent was directly providing classified information to the Top Soviet agent in Kim Philby causing numerous failures for the western democracies.
His other shortcoming was his witch hunt seeing a mole behind any desk in the CIA in the 1950s and early 1960s.
The man was both brilliant and extremely destructive.
This man was certifiable insane. But that doesn't mean he was wrong

Can anyone reccomend a good book on this guy. Hes been this mysterious entity that pops up here and there in books iv read about the cold war.... fascinating character
Marys mosaic - Audible. He features a lot in it.
"Secret history of the CIA" by J. Trento is the best ☝️ truly mind boggling!
The Ghost, by Moley. A great read!
“CIA Rogues and the killing of the Kennedys” by Patrick Nolan. This book shines a bright light on Angelton and points to him and his fellow CIA co-conspirator Richard Helms as being repeatedly guilty of using so-called “executive actions” to assassinate world leaders, using means such as the horrific MKULTRA program to carry out various diabolical operations such as “the Big event” (JFK’s murder in Dallas) & RFK’s murder in L.A. One of Angelton’s favored techniques according to the author was using patsies to take the fall for planned assassinations carried out by others, as well as using “compartmentalization” within the CIA to prevent discovery of the CIA’s involvement in what would be considered to be nefarious plots by the general public. It is a well-researched and compelling scholarly book on the subject of this man and the CIA.
"CIA Rogues and the Killing of the Kennedys" by Patrick Nolan. Goes into detail about Angleton and Richard Helm. I'm reading it now and it's fascinating.
Angleton can only think of one covert op by the Russians (lol)
The cold War was the biggest windfall for the Inteligence business (EVER)...
Poor fellah didn't see the "active measures" programme coming. Yuri bezmenov.
People should read Tennent H. Bagley's 2007 book "Spy Wars," and his follow-up PDF "Ghosts of the Spy Wars" to see what Angleton's talking about here.
@Comrade Kabo what, specifically, is he saying that is incorrect?
@Comrade Kabo The Soviet view of the struggle between capitalism and communism and their intentions to eliminate it, as well as to remake humanity were widely published and spoken of by Soviet leaders. Other communist leaders around the globe subscribed to those views..
Angleton merely took them at their word.
.
The fact that the Soviet Union and other communist regimes were slave states were the reasons many spies for the West cited as the reasons they betrayed their countries..
The fact that communism murdered 100 million people - more than every war in recorded history added together - in under 75 years, combined with their oppression that denied freedoms so common as to be widely taken for granted in the West, qualifies communism as the greatest crime to occur on the planet and earned it the evil appellation.
Angleton is wrong about elections granting the president the authorities and immunity from prosecution Angleton claimed.
John Yoo, call your office.
Angleton was also wrong about some of the things Golitsin talked him into, such as denying the existence of the Soviet/Sino split and the legitimacy of defectors that followed Golitsin.
.
Golitsin did get some things correct and was very helpful. He and other defectors did the right thing to enjoy a superior life under a superior system. .
Any Russian with access to classified material should do the same so they, too, can have a better life.
@Comrade Kabo 100 million murdered by communists is verified by their own records, documented in the seminal "Black Book of Communism."
Communist goals are, as I said, found in their own statements about not only imposing communism globally, but in fundamentally changing mankind into being "The new Soviet man" (which they failed at, of course).
Peoples around the globe voted against communism with their feet. Millions tried to escape communism, and there were not millions fleeing capitalism trying to get into one of those wretched communist countries.
While only a handful of commies were able to own cars - and were stuck with crappy Ladas and Trabis, ordinary Americans were driving Mustangs and Corvettes. Working class families had 2 cars and apartments that, in Russia, would house 5 or 6 Russian families.
When a Russian managed to save enough for a television, it was likely to arrive without a picture tube.
Good grief, Western pencil erasers were in big demand because Russia could not make erasers that worked.
There was always a huge black market in communist countries for Western blue jeans, rock and roll records, hi-fis, shoes, VCRs, movies and even ball point pens because communism could not make decent ones.
There was never a black market in the West for Russian crap.
They couldn't even make postage stamps with glue on the back that worked. All the post offices had pots of glue set out because of this.
Good luck making a xerox copy of anything in Russia. Those machines were kept under KGB guard.
Despite an abundance of good soil, the Russians could not feed their own people and relied on wheat shipped from the U.S.
No one wanted to move from the West to Russia, but Russia needed an Iron Curtain to hold their people in. .
But the commies could never stop the yearning to go to the West.
Russian youth tried to dress like Westerners, buy to Western records, walk and talk like Westerners, go to Western-style clubs to listen to Western music while dancing like Westerners drinking Western booze.
Then they go out for a bite to eat at McDonald's.

James Angleton - Mossad mole
Very informative even if you don’t agree with everything.
Very important to know history
It's repeating itself
The C.I.A.'s nickname for Mr. Angleton was , "The Cadaver."
it was mother
Outside of earshot, people used several nicknames for Angleton, in the same way that Nixon was referred to as "Tricky Dick.".
But "cadaver" and "mother" were not nicknames used to his face the way Edwin Aldrin was known as "Buzz," or as code words used in communications such as "Rawhide" was used by the Secret Service for Ronald Reagan (who was also nicknamed, "Dutch" in his younger days).
.
And in this case it's the reverse of Caesars killer, the father's bones remain along with his sins inside his son. Both disgusting and egotistical run wild, humans that caused more pain than the worst sensationalized serial killer and with your "checks and balances constitution..." horseshit in cahoots at worst or ignorance at best, either is hypocritical and inexcusable!
@@DaveSCameron That is quite a word salad. It is impossible to read and understand what your point is and how it relates to nicknames given to Angleton.
@@garfieldfarkle He's trying to sound interestingly
He spent half his career turning CIA inside as the chief bloodhound looking for a Soviet spy within the CIA, when another agent accused Angleton saw that spy every morning while shaving.
you're really wrong about that.
What an evil monster.
"The grey ghost".after it became public that his very good friend "Kim philby",was a KGB agent.angleton became obsessed with internal mole hunting.it consumed him.he became to be despised by his colleagues.
Easy to see how Angelton could perceive JFK as a threat.
Two authors I can recommend to gain insights into the CIA's role in the JFK mystery are Fletcher Prouty and John M. Newman.
Fletcher felt the Cold War was a myth created by the CIA as a pretext and justification for their evil schemes. Fletcher's book called JFK is good I thought. Fletcher was a true CIA insider who worked with Allan Dulles.
One of Mr. Newman's books is Oswald And The CIA. He is now in the process of publishing a new book series where he is trying to unravel the complex web of circumstances that led up to the John Kennedy assassination.
Prouty and Newman are the REAL patriots. Not this gargoyle.
JFK, whodunit? Start with who DIDN'T want to kill him. if more than 1 shooter, you're caught. Any conspiracy is about putting Oswald at the right place at the right time.
Whilst there are insights to be had - you discredit your recommendation with the acknowledgement that fletcher was an insider who worked with dulles. You can’t take any of these professional liars on their word. They do let slip some insights however when describing their rivals within the company because they are usually just the same psychopathic careerists you meet in any corporation.
@@allittakes Thats pretty much what Prouty said before he died. He had files on everything to protect himself, called "zipper". from Marys Mosaic.
@@pxman1946 I haven’t read that one! Will check it out finally soon … the image of Angleton getting caught picking her lock to her safe immediately after is just too much. He was a truly insane diabolical unit !
One of the most dangerous men in U.S. history.
I would ask mr. Angelton what difference would remain in between an imperfect democracy and a dictatorship (I try to quote him by heart) if Nixon's "national security is above the law" attempt had formally been accepted. We all know that in substance national security is everywhere, to a certain degree, above the law.
Interesting that Mr Angelton described the Eastern Bloc as a unified ideological body with a common purpose. Whether that was ever true is perhaps doubtful, given only 13 years later the whole Bloc disintegrated; and before that you had Solidarity in Poland, the Prague Spring in 1968 and the Hungarian rebellion in 1956. It’s undoubted there was a serious threat that had to be countered in the Cold War, but it wasn’t nearly as black and white as he made out. The intelligence ball was seriously dropped though post 1991 and has allowed the current situation of misinformation and alternative facts to flourish and for democracy to be undermined in ways the KGB could only have dreamed of.
So they CIA should edit and censor our media to protect us from disinfo? That is a term used by corporate media who most frequently push lies. In many instances, they are lying and the disinfo they claim to attack is factual truth. So who makes the decision to police speech? Why trust an organization deeply involved with social engineering to even decide that. There is also a first amendment. It's mostly big corporate media keeping us fighting each other and disinformed, they should be shuttered first, but you cannot legislate truth. The intel ball wasn't dropped post 1991, it was only tightened, to fight non-existent enemies (Global War on Terror) financed by the agency itself, MI6's long term Islamic cult of Wahhabism created by them in the 1800s takes center stage as a terrible threat, yet the main mosques are all financed by Saudi money in Western nations. They armed ISIS don't even try to deny it. The CIA literally creates national security threats if it can't find any.
He has been correct. I believe he was spot on.
these guys lost too much of their humanity in WWII
survival
Sacrificed.
@archtopone they were hired by the prime enemy- small hat bankers.
reading about how Angelton had taken LSD in the early 50's...
Poisoner In Chief, interesting read.
I guess you could call him a survivalist LOL ♞🕶
Guy sounded somewhat off his rocker, no wonder they took him out of his old position. The part about the KGB "Possible" assassination African leaders was laughable, Patrice Lumumba anybody?

Ah Jim Angleton the guy who spilled all his secrets to a KGB agent for years 😂
Too many acid trips James Jesus Angleton.
Corruption rules because they worship money
I love this guy
This guy was an usher at the funeral of Mary Pinchot Meyer.
How ironic.
Somebody fired a gun above the shipping container and then down at the creek past shawns.
Good Lord. I'm surprised to see old Jim on RUclips.
Vintage Gold indeed!
Despite the large amount of disinformation being posted in these comments (Ruskies?), he was a noted consummate professional, and the very fact he's doing this interview with the *committed* remarks he's making proves (to those with eyes/ears) that aspect in its entirety.
He gives an interview and that proves........what? LOL.
Most of the word hated him and was he stood for. No need to limit it to a few Russians, who had clearly comprised the IC world from head to toe from day one.

Ahhh you American patriots never stop living in your little echo chamber of imperialist propaganda, revisionist history and misplaced patriotism. Keep on helping the same people who plunder every other country plunder your own. keep up the good work.
Satan himself
Why would anyone give credence to a single word coming from the mouth of someone who took great pride in his ability to deceive? One would be better served to assume the opposite of everything Angleton has ever said.
One scary dude who would not move on from the cold war. He was up to his neck in the Kennedy assassination.
The devil himself
Belonged in a prison mental hospital.
"THE WILDERNESS OF MIRRORS "
Looks very much like a latter day T.S. Eliot...fascinating figure.
Ugly.
Just what I was thinking. In his college days Angleton aspired to be a poet and literary critic. He corresponded with Eliot and may have modeled his appearance on TSE's.
I can’t imagine the type of life this man lived .
Elaborate. What life do you think he led?
