The CIA gets to take the bad press - not that they aren't responsible for anything, but it's like the people who say "the mafia did it!" It ignores the close relationship between all these groups. The CIA's relationship with the Pentagon has sometimes been very rocky, but they cooperated on many things as well. The early CIA Directors (before Dulles) were all active-duty military men.
Yep. One "lead manager" and a lot of interconnected participants. The same crew who run things today, too.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
