CIA Origin & Training• Origin
– Successor of OSS (Office of Strategic Services)– Established through the 1947 “National Security Act”– Services included
• Sabotage• Anti-Sabotage• Evacuation Measures• Aid of anti-communist countries
– Gathered information of other countries• Training
– John Mulholland wrote a magic book for $3,000• Click for more
– Helpful to be a scientist– Sign up in college– Agents go through rigorous physical and mental
training
CIA: Spying & Defense• Methods of Spying
– high altitude plane (Lockheed U-2)• Took pictures of gov’t buildings, weapons factories, and
testing facilites– CIA agents could really never infiltrate the Russian
high control (stuck to planes and few spies who could)– During early cold war, spent only $4.7 million on
spying• Three years later, they spent $82 million
– Attempted to put spies into Russia, but most were killed or captured
– Video!!!• Defense
– CIA deployed submarines to patrol pacific in case of attack
– Missile defense systems built at west coast– Created National Reconnaissance Office to listen to
Russian High Command
CIA: Punishment for capture/Abuse of authority
• Abuse– Ex-CIA agents helped with the “Watergate Scandal”– “Family Jewels” – Illegal activities the CIA was
involved in• Assassinated foreign leaders, & conducted illegal
surveillance of 7,000+ anti-war protesters – Experimented on humans with LSD and other drugs
• Punishment for capture– Not nearly as terrible as Soviet punishments– Usually were discharged if they weren’t killed by
Russians– Prisoners
• Cold Cell – strapped to table naked in a freezing room• Water Boarding – Simulated Downing • Standing cells – forced to stand straight up for a week
KGB: Origin & Training• Origin
– Designated as a state committee attached to the Council of Ministers
– Changed in 1978 so that KGB officials were part of the council by law
– They are the Russian CIA
• Training
– KGB soldiers, the Spetsnaz were trained much like the Navy SEALS or Army Rangers
– Taught to not talk• Heightened pain resistance, given cyanide if captured
KGB: Spying & Defense
• Spying Methods– Usually captured and interrogated– Infiltrated US top secret projects
• Defense Methods– Showed off atomic weapons testing to show
“supremacy”– Had submarines patrolling pacific
KGB: Punishment for Capture
• Spies captured in the US were traded for spies the USSR captured– Once they returned they were fired,
disciplined or even killed for being caught– Most spies were double agents and only got
fired because they might be useful in months or years to come
