>Do you know how and why the CIA in the United States was created?
During WWII the Japanese were unable to ship all the loot back to Japan, and much of it was stored on some island in the Philippines. Advance US troops secured the site, and that became the seed money for the CIA. Then the odd bit of Air America (was it?) in Vietnam, I don't know, narcotics here and there, probably plenty of action in South America. No war on drugs with the CIA. I think I prefer them to your politicians.
