Episode notes
Bankers Built The OSS And CIA
- The OSS and CIA originated more from Wall Street and banking elites than from romantic spycraft myths.
- Burton Hirsch documents bankers, Rockefeller delegates, and Council on Foreign Relations figures building the OSS/CIA wartime networks that later became the deep state.
Cold War Networks Locked In Foreign Policy
- Cold War intelligence alliances solidified U.S. foreign policy influence and tied it closely to financial elites.
- Jay Dyer argues wartime networks and CFR figures institutionalized a breakaway national security state that outlasts individual politicians.
Churches Served As Intelligence Cutouts
- Religious organizations were used as cutouts for intelligence and propaganda operations during and after WWII.
- Jay Dyer cites the World Council of Churches and Unitarian relief networks being tapped by OSS/CIA figures like Frank Wisner for soft power and espionage.
