Donald Trump, speaking to a packed room in KSA, was waxing lyrical about the new 'Golden Age of the US".

Inside the CIA: America’s Secret Intelligence Agency
From Cold War Tactics to Cyber Wars: The CIA’s Global Reach In the shadows of global politics, where nations maneuver not through diplomacy alone but through secrecy, deception, and surveillance, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) stands as one of the most powerful and enigmatic institutions in the world. Born from the ashes of World War II and raised during the height of the Cold War, the CIA has evolved from traditional espionage operations to become a digital-age intelligence giant. Its reach extends across borders, ideologies, and technologies—operating in a world where knowledge is power and information can change the fate of nations. As threats have shifted from Soviet missiles to cyberterrorism and AI warfare, so too has the CIA adapted, making it not only a historical cornerstone of American security but also a critical player in today’s global power struggle.

Should you ever find yourself in the Surrey Thames-side town of Runnymede, it may be worth looking out for the monument dedicated to the Magna Carta. What is interesting about the Magna Carta memorial is not so much what it commemorates, as who it is doing the commemorating.
