1950s: Origins of the CIA's "Pedophile Academy"
“Oh we do have our stable of weird people working for us. Did I ever tell you about the Pedophile Academy? We actually had one down at Camp Peary, (in Virginia) right near (the CIA’s) Jim Critchfield’s place. I don’t know if you’re aware of it, but we called it ‘The Farm,’ and it was supposed to be a secret training center for young agents. Allen Dulles set up this training center down there for pedophiles. They were in training to seduce, molest, and most especially photograph the young children of targets. Not only, Allen reasoned, would our graduates have a spanking good time but they could get wonderful action photos of the wee ones to blackmail their families with. I understand they broke it up when one of the graduates nailed a (CIA) Deputy Director’s son at a summer camp.”

Is it possible Alefantis was referring to "The Farm"? (And, when the CIA claims an operation is closed, are they always telling the truth?)
"That little baby loved the farm"

That little baby looks haunted.

For Context, I believed "The Farm", was mentioned. The Farm is where young recruits go to train. I don't believe it's the name of the pedo academy, but was just used as a reference for the training camp near it.

Yeah, "The Farm" has been name dropped in countless TV shows, spy novels and movies.

Okay, so at least by 1970 everyone was calling it "The Farm".
From OP:
Possibly these guys nicknamed the Pedo training facility "The Farm" first and the name stuck thereafter, and no-one knew about the pedo shit? It looks like the interview was from 1980 or thereabouts and I'll say that yeah, from memory, mentions of "The Farm" weren't a thing on TV back then. Stuff like Silence of the Lambs made all that stuff popular and Thomas Harris was one of the earlier, if not earliest, writers to use this sort of "investigative craft lore". Psychological Profiling only became known in the popular sense after John Douglas wrote Mindhunter, and Harris based Will Graham in Red Dragon off that. Douglas basically pioneered the science.

Someday we will find out what Area 51 really is too.

According to Wagner, the course was dropped from the CIA training curriculum after the Watergate scandal due to increased attention being paid to COA practices. This is what needs to happen now. They must be called out. Immediately. Evidently they are like roaches. When a light is shined upon them they will run and hide. Then get out the can of Raid.
