Several years ago, I read an article by someone who seemed like he knew what he was talking about, given the details he offered.
The bottom line was that the CIA had secret money that was unknown by the Congress.
This money came from Saudi oil money.
Back when the US dollar was taken off the gold standard (Nixon, 1971), they offered US military protection for the Saudi oil fields in exchange for the Saudis only using the US dollar as the exchange currency for their oil.
Other countries fell in line, as well, and this was the birth of the Petrodollar.
But the other part of the story that the public does not know is that there was also an agreement for the Saudis to use their excess cash flow to buy US Treasury bonds, propping up the US dollar, and the INTEREST WOULD FLOW THROUGH TO SECRET ACCOUNTS THAT THE CIA CONTROLS.
The CIA uses this money flow from the oil money/bond investment interest to fund their off-budget, secret black ops.
