The Power Elite blows a fuse

Rating: 8/10 (1 January 2007)

This film, based on the true founding of the CIA from its' beginnings as the OSS in World War II, shows the CIA in its glory and in its mistakes. A power within the government, it was (is?) made up at the highest levels by trustworthy patriots from America's "best" most accomplished families, usually from Yale and almost always WASPs. No Jews or Negroes need apply.
These people think that America belongs to them and that the rest of us are "just visitors." They know that generation after generation of them will continue to run the government, the state department, and the White House. Oh, maybe one of them may not occupy the Oval Office, but he will be controlled by the families, by these legacy Yalies and their Skull & Bones secret societies.
