' The close association between Bronfman and Reinfeld would later come back to haunt them both, particularly when Reinfeld’s longtime bodyguard, James Rutkin, testified in front of the Kefauver Committee in the early 1950s.
Rutkin would tell all regarding the “early days” of the Bronfman family business, including the relationships of both Bronfman and Reinfeld with mobsters like Zwillman and Lansky.
Some Bronfman family biographers, like Nicholas Faith, have alleged that Rutkin sought to use his testimony in a failed attempt to blackmail the Bronfmans, threatening to reveal more if he was left uncompensated.
Among Rutkin’s claims regarding the Bronfmans, several pertained to the family’s hotel business in Canada that had preceded their liquor empire.
Rutkin, describing the Bronfmans as “four brothers from Montreal,” teased the Kefauver Committee, stating first that “if you want to find out more about the [Bronfman owned] hotels, you can ask the Canadian Mounted Police, and they will tell you about the little hotels, and you can use your imagination.”
He later added that these hotels serviced people who slept “very fast,” and that the same room would be rented “quite a few times during the night,” implying that the hotels were in fact brothels.
Several Bronfman family biographers also mention these accusations, which had dogged the family since their earliest days in the hotel business.
Some believe that Sam Bronfman tacitly confirmed that this was the case many years after Rutkin first made these claims, when he remarked “If they were [brothels], they were the best in the West!”
Nevertheless, in the early 1950s at the time of the Kefauver hearings, the Bronfmans alleged that Rutkin’s claims were “absurd,” and they declined to pony up any of the “hush money” that Rutkin was rumored to have been seeking.
Yet, despite their best efforts, Rutkin’s testimony, which received considerable publicity due to the televised broadcast of the hearings, created a whirlwind of rumors that refused to be snuffed out for some time, at least until Rutkin turned up dead, having allegedly slit his own throat with a borrowed razor in 1956.

Not good.

Why doesn't this work; why doesn't that work?
   Because we bought into an extractive system that we thought was a regenerative system, and it turns out that system has been extracting from us and abandoning us instead of comprehensively including us in regenerative solutions.
   Because professionalism was always based on extracting from everyone involved.
   It was not, in fact, a set of necessary compromises in order to get stuff done.
   It was the misleading facade from the beginning, and was never what it purported to be.

' By July 1966, the [Naval Field Operations] Support Group was given the mandate to establish “a worldwide intelligence collection organization while preserving non-intelligence attributability of collection operations.”(60)
Internal Navy communiqués and information sharing identified the Support Group by name; soon, to help obscure the organization’s activities, it was granted the code-name “Task Force 157.” ' (...)
' TF-157’s operational autonomy was only partial. It answered to both the Office of Naval Intelligence and the CIA.
Though, between the two, the Agency apparently had an edge for nabbing the various projects that TF-157 developed.
When it came to organizing the networks of proprietary companies, it was again to the CIA that TF-157 turned. “Ed Wilson is the man you need,” the CIA told the task force. '

' After a time in the FBI, [James McCord] joined the CIA, taking a position within the CIA’s Office of Security – the in-house body that monitored the internal security of the Agency, ran counterintelligence operations, and provided cover or support for some of the CIA’s most sensitive operations.
Specifically, McCord was assigned to the Security Research Staff within the Office of Security. There, he honed the craft of electronic eavesdropping, surveillance, and “audio countermeasure programs” to protect sensitive CIA stations and outposts in Europe.(83)
These were all of the sorts of techniques that were brought to bear in the course of the Watergate burglary.
They also raise some important questions – for example, if McCord was an adept at these sorts of affairs, why were the burglaries so remarkably sloppy?
McCord had also served as deputy to Paul Gaynor, the longtime head of the Security Research Staff and a powerful figure within the CIA as a whole.
From his commanding place within the Office of Security, Gaynor played an essential role in some of the CIA’s darkest projects, such as Project ARTICHOKE – a “special interrogation” program that, with its focus on hypnosis, sensory deprivation, chemical substances, and “psychological harassment” that was the immediate forerunner of the notorious MK-ULTRA program.(84)
The groundwork for ARTICHOKE had been laid by an earlier project, BLUEBIRD, described in CIA files as experiments involving “drugs and hypnosis.”(85)
Jim Hougan writes that Gaynor was reputed to have maintained an extensive array of files on US citizens, with a particular focus on sexual proclivities; these files were known around the Agency as the “fag files.”(86)
These allegations can be found among the statements made in the 1975 official report of the Rockefeller Commission, an entire section of which is dedicated to the file systems maintained by the CIA’s Directorate of Operations.
One telling passage of the report reads:
"Miscellaneous files maintained by the Office of Security includes lists of individuals with known or suspected foreign intelligence connections, files associated with handling defectors (some of whom may now be US citizens), lists of individuals from whom crank calls have been received by the Agency, and lists of persons previously charged with security violations. The Office of Security formerly maintained extensive computer lists of approximately 300,000 persons who had been arrested for offenses related to homosexuality, but these lists were destroyed in 1973."

To be honest, it has been conspicuous how trafficking organizations can disable members of our communities and then those community members are forgotten by the communities.
