Spooks and Scary Stories

We often talk about the "deep state" which I call the mafia branch of our government, but perhaps the "dark state" is a more appropriate descriptor. I've speculated before that Wallace was removed and Truman inserted as FDR's veep in order to insure the creation of the CIA. Of course the FBI has existed longer, starting in 1908 with J. Edgar Hoover joining in 1917. Theoretically the FBI is domestic and the CIA international, but the lines have blurred. I find both organizations rogue agencies ignoring law and promoting their own power and control. I think they are both scary.
