DOGE ISN’T NOVEL: ANCESTRAL EVIDENCE

In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower commissioned Lieutenant General James H. Doolittle to conduct a comprehensive review of the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) covert operations.

The resulting document, known as the “Doolittle Report,” was a 69-page classified study focusing on the CIA’s personnel, security, adequacy, and efficacy.

The report emphasized the severity of the Cold War threat, stating:

“It is now clear that we are facing an implacable enemy whose avowed objective is world domination by whatever means and at whatever cost.”

To counter this threat, the report recommended that the United States adopt a more aggressive stance in its intelligence operations, suggesting that traditional American concepts of “fair play” might need to be reconsidered in the context of national survival.
