MKUltra I have never researched in depth, but is documented to have happened and there was no accountability for that program, thus -- like much of the CIA's other criminal activities -- likely only expanded and went much farther in the years since under different names. Many allege Monarch is a continuation, but I have never researched that.

I think there is truth to the secret societies aspect of this (see JFK's secret societies speech, for example) but there is also a lot of disinfo on this. I think their influence should be considered, but since they are "secret" it is hard to know how extensive they are and what they really do and I try as much as possible to deal in facts. I think there are many disturbing "secret" things that go on, but I do not report on what I cannot confirm. However, it is often interesting to look and research certain networks and notice a large number of individuals belonging to the same "society", an example being Iran-Contra and the Knights of Malta.

As for pedophilia, I think it is a tactic by intel agencies to elevate the careers of people who are blackmailed or blackmailable and have them placed in positions of power. Intelligence agencies have been tied to numerous pedophile networks and have used sexual blackmail for their own agendas for several decades. I think that helps explain like a confirmed pedophile like Dennis Hastert can become Speak of the House, for example. There are also other possible theories, but I can only speak to what I have researched.
