We only know what we know now because they got caught at it. When you're a spying agency, when do you stop spying? The CIA dealt drugs in Nam', Columbia, Mexico and they're doing it now in Afghanistan using US soldiers to guard the crop. I don't know how much more blatant they would have to be before the scales will fall.
For example, I'm still surprised that many don't know of George W. Bush's grandfather's Former Senator Prescott Bush (AKA: Hitler's banker) involvement with the attempted coup of FDR, in the infamous Business Plot..
It was the spectre of a 1917 revolutionary Russia here in the good ol' USA that scared some Wall Street tycoons shitless. And when the food riots broke out in Michigan during the depression, they had to call out the state militia. And then again having Dougie Mac and Eisenhower no less, repel the Bonus Army when they showed up in DC demanding the premiums they were promised for service in WWI for later, now - when they needed it. Membership in socialist and communist organizations sky-rocketed. J. Edgar Hoover's career got a huge boost hunting spies and commies, and formed the chrysalis of what would become the Police State that we now recognize so well. Total Information Awareness, indeed.
The New Deal was the price to avoid that revolution, and some didn't want to pay it. The Wall Street Coup attempt was investigated by Congress, but you won't find it listed in any school text books. Particularly in Texas. FDR himself quashed any further investigation into the attempt.
- Instinctively we know all this. Practically, we ignore it -- hence, all the problems......
