monastic superiors.
Tendency away from peace and toward militarization. The opposite of the isolationism of the post-WWII period. A bizarre obsession with hard-line prevention of Communism- which is interesting as that is how Hitler gained power, in part, in the 1930s under the guise of protecting citizens from Communist invasion/influence. One would think the turn would be away from fascism and war after such a devastating conflict. There must be far deeper motivations for the CIA and others to take such a hard stance- probably related to money and power with the Cold War as a catalyst for certain agencies/players to profit; but who?
