The FBI was choosing sides in a gang war, taking a tip from the CIA.

Its the American way.

Black Massmentioned once that Bulger was given LSD 50 times by the CIA while he was in prison.

My first reaction was to mutter lucky motherfucker under my breath.

He was used to take out crime in South Boston.

There was a time when the south of Boston conjured images of Prince Spaghetti day.

I was tortured weekly as a kid on account of that commercial.

Any commercial film about the FBI has to get the FBI sign of approval.

Its been that way at least since Edward G. Robinson starred inConfessions of a Nazi Spy.

The FBI are very careful and they are very thorough.

They might even be watching you read this article.

Whatever really happened to Whitey Bulger had been redacted and retooled long before it was rebooted by Hollywood.

Bulger himself said his trial was a sham.

The FBI gets into CIA territory in their involvement in the crime wars of Boston.

They choose a side and look the other way.

Weve seen done this countless times in movies about the CIA, fromSalvadortoKill the Messenger.

They will go out of their way to protect him.

He really does believe he is using the FBI as a weapon.

He has completely dehumanized them.

FBI agents arent people because cops arent really people.

The power goes to their heads and they dont cant tell a schlug from a thug.

Whitey may or may not be deluding himself when he swears he is no rat.

Hank Brennan, one of Bulgers lawyers, sat for an interview.

Bulger maintained throughout his questioning that he was never a rat.

According to the documentary, the FBI and the Justice Department thought they were using Whitey as an informant.

The way Whitey saw it, the Feds worked for him.

They were his paid lackeys.

The experiments were done as part of the mind control program called MK Ultra.

Some conspiracy theorists posit that JFK was killed because he wanted to smash the CIA into a million pieces.

There are many who believe Sirhan Sirhan was a programmed executioner who was triggered to kill Robert F. Kennedy.

Others have their doubts about the official stories to many public executions.

The official story says Bulger was an FBI informant who was protected by corrupt agents between 1975 and 1990.

That clears the government by putting away all the players.

But the CIA and the FBI had been fostering collusion for years.

The CIA routinely props up dictators, fosters revolution and occasionally tampers with gang wars.

Mexicas Guadalajara drug cartel was boosted by the CIA.

Other stories connect the CIA with Honduran drug lord Juan Matta-Ballesteros.

The CIA didnt limit their drug promotions to South America.

The CIA smuggled opium from China and Burma to Bangkok, Thailand, through Air America.

I learned that from the movies too.

McCoy also connected the CIA to parts of the French Connection scheme during the First Indochina War.

There are no official records of what they got out of Bulger while he was tripping.

CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all the files on the MK-Ultra program destroyed in 1973.

Bulger wrote in his since-published notebooks that he had a morbid fear of LSD.

The FBI was also no stranger to working with criminals.

He was caught in Santa Monica, Calif. in 2011.

A jury found Bulger guilty of 31 of 32 criminal counts.

On Nov. 14, 2013, a federal judge sentenced James Whitey Bulger to two life terms in prison.
