Of-course it would. You think Ron Paul would have put up with this shit? The first thing he'd do is cut the funding out from underneath the CIA. They wouldn't be able to afford the bullet to assassinate him with.

Iran-Contra? The JFK assassination? Operation Ajax? MK ULTRA? These are just the things that we know about.

No, the CIA are not an untouchable superhuman spy conspiracy. They are however one of the most reputable intelligence agencies on Earth and easily capable of overthrowing a nation in turmoil.
