McGeorge Bundy

several of which were exposed as CIA conduits in 1967.

Although Kissinger denied knowing anything about CIA support, his correspondence with William Elliot, who appointed him director of the International Seminar, proves otherwise.

Most social science funding went to psychology, as academics played a key part in the development of psychological warfare.

Project Troy in 1950 was a three-month project directed by Rands and Speyer.

Renowned social scientists were appointed to the board.

44 US and Canadian universities participated in the CIA's MKUltra programme , which experimented on unwitting subjects using electroshock, radiation, covert drugging and other nefarious means.

Although funds were distributed through a series of front organisations, a few key individuals in each institution did know about CIA sponsorship, The director of the Ford Foundation, McGeorge Bundy, reflected that everything the foundation did could be regarded as making the world safe for capitalism.

The Ford Foundation was stridently anti-Marxist.

So the prime minister at this point, the brand new Lee Kuan Yew, was furious, and his anger only increased when an attempt was made to bribe him with $3 million in cash to drop charges against the CIA people.

And there's a back and forth between, uh, at the time, Bundy, who's Secretary of State...

Uh, sorry, sorry, G- uh, George Bundy, Kennedy's special assistant to...

This fucking title.

Special Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs.

Very arrogant guy, um, more State Department than agency.

He got into an argument with Dulles over this incident.

Um, Bundy wanted all future agency operations of this sort to be cleared in advance with him.

LBJ said, take it to the civil rights community.

But George Bundy and Ford Foundation was holding all of these... retreats for King and the civil rights community.

He told Moynihan, let's go talk to him about this.

Moynihan took it down there and they damn near killed Moynihan behind it.

The ability to say, pay attention, this matters.

Last night I was listening to, it was so weird, I was, Mrs. L had a event and i was the dutiful chauffeur and i'm waiting around park avenue doing my thing i'm listening i'm listening to the days of lbj during vietnam when he was when he was talking to mcgeorge bundy and mcnamara oh my god we're doing the same thing today and so many bright and smart brilliant people are talking about this i mean there's no there's no new to it there's no new there's nothing new to this If everything matters for exactly the same reason, then nothing does.

If every road leads to Erica Kirk, eventually people stop following the road.

They say, enough of this.

Yesterday I was listening to, when I'm driving or doing, you know, tedious work, which is most of the time.

I was listening to, I think it was a compilation of LBJ and his phone conversations with McGeorge Bundy and with McNamara regarding the Vietnam War.

And I could not be believed.

could not believe what I was hearing, that these brilliant people, McGeorge Bundy and McNamara, whom I interviewed one time in my initial days with WABC, in days gone by, and I thought,

they got that wrong, and oh my God, do we have it wrong now.

There's so much to discuss.

Uh, John McCloy, a powerful Wall Street lawyer close to the Rockefellers, liberal Republican.

McGeorge Bundy, a former Harvard dean, National Security Advisor to Kennedy and Johnson.

And then Robert Oppenheimer, the atomic physicist who gave us the atomic bomb.

Jimmy Carter, a president.

Byrd is a chronicler of the American establishment.

His prior subjects include presidents like Jimmy Carter, advisors like McGeorge Bundy, and scientists like Robert Oppenheimer.

Cohn lurked around the edges of these stories, the anti-establishment force who both fed off and sabotaged the establishments.

Now with Trump, Cohen's politics have won.
