- ―Clay Kaczmarek on the CIA's role in overthrowing governments.[src]
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is a civilian agency of the United States government responsible for providing national security intelligence assessment to senior policymakers. The CIA also engaged in covert activities at the request of the President of the United States.
At several points throughout the CIA's history, the Templars and Abstergo Industries have manipulated the agency's actions in favor of their plans for a New World Order, notably through toppling democratic governments around the world and replacing them with Templar-influenced dictatorships.
History
In 1953, the CIA, along with the United Kingdom's MI6, overthrew the Iranian government of Mohammad Mosaddegh and helped the Iranian Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, take absolute power. They also funded and trained his secret police, the SAVAK. The following year, the agency planned the overthrow of Guatemala's president, Jacobo Árbenz.[1]
In an operation masterminded by Henry Kissinger, the CIA also orchestrated the 1973 Chilean coup d'état, when president Salvador Allende was killed and General Augusto Pinochet took power.[1]
During the Cold War, William King Harvey, a high-ranking CIA officer, joined the Assassin Brotherhood and, with the approval of the Mentor, founded the Bloodstone Unit, an extremist Assassin cell led by Boris Pash. Harvey later secretly defected to the Templars and manipulated the Bloodstone Unit to further the Order's goals by working with the CIA to orchestrate the coup against President Ngô Đình Diệm of South Vietnam, and the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy to acquire his Apple of Eden.[2] Harvey, through his manipulation of Alekseï Gavrani, also engineered the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964, which led to an escalation of the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War, in accordance with the Templars' plans.[3]
