  2. CIA • The CIA stands for Central Intelligence Agency • It was created in 1947 by the National Security Act of 1947 signed by President Henry S. Truman • CIA is a descendant of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) of World War II • Due to the creation of the CIA many disposed Nazi operatives were recruited to become agents • They were offered financial aid and to be exempt from going to war trail for the crimes committed in WWII • In 1950 the Pacific Corporation was created as one of the many CIA enterprises

  3. CIA • Project BLUEBIRD was approved by Director Hillenkoetter ; it was the CIA’s first behavioral control program • In 1951, the Columbia Broadcasting System started to get along with the CIA • This led to President Truman creating the Office of Current Intelligence • Things changed up when the Project BLUEBIRD was renamed to ARTICHOKE

  4. KGB • The KGB stands for Комитет государственной безопасности (KomitetGosudarstvennoyBezopasnosti) • On Stalin's death in 1953, MVD (Ministry of Internal Affairs), Lavrentiy Beria merged the MGB and the MVD • Presidium eliminated Beria with charges of “criminal anti-party and anti- state activities” and executed him • Due to this the MGB was renamed KGB and separated from the MVD

  5. KGB • The KGB failed to rebuild most of their illegal U.S. resident networks • McCarthyism and destruction of the CPUSA hindered recruitment

  6. Espionage • A spy who breaks the country’s laws maybe deported, imprisoned, or executed • The Rosenberg's are an example of spies who got executed from breaking the law • The U.S. court convicted Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, of handing the Soviets atomic-energy secrets during WWII • The Internal Security Act was another anti-Communist measure that was passed in 1950 • It required organizations and party members to register with the federal government • Due to the Cold War anti- communism efforts of exposing alleged Communists in the U.S., it created a climate of fear and suspicion

  7. Soviet Spy Ring • During World War II the Soviet Union wanted to uncover the military and the defense secrets of the Untied States • When the Manhattan project was taking place in the US the Soviet Spy Ring knew about it before the FBI • The Cambridge Five were a part of the Soviet Spy Ring • They were former students from Cambridge University who became spies for the Soviet Union during WWII • There were so many different types of people that gave atomic secrets to the Soviets, but no one knows how many people got away with it • Some of the people we do know today are: John Cairncross, Kluas Fuchs, and Theodore Hall
