They do this a lot -- ineffectually -- in foreign countries.
Now they're doing the same thing here, and just as ineffectuality.
What scares me here is not the sinisterness of this -- but the gross incompetence, clumsiness, and obviousness of it.
This is the agency "covertly" attempting to influence foreign nations to our advantage? Using this level of deftness of touch? Hiding their hands to this extent?
I always thought Idiocracy was both a plausible and unsettling end-of-days scenario. It was unsettling because there was no heroism in humanity's last stand, just a pitiful stupidity. Other apocalypse scenarios at least give you the mercy of a powerful and capable villain -- so that even if you die, you die nobly and heroically, battling a worthy foe.
This entire episode is revealing our IC to not be some sinister and capable organization, but instead to be sinister and incompetent, incapable, and impotent.
But very energetic -- in a spastic, fumbling way -- in their determination to make their lurching presence felt.
It's frightening to think that the world is controlled by powerful unseen forces -- but it's terrifying to think the world is clumsily manipulated by borderline retards who imagine themselves to be kingmakers and kingbreakers.

The deep state has nothing to do with America either. We have time to wipe out both. But actually, a political leftist can be legitimate while the deep state never can. The deep state operates outside the constitution and does not feel constrained by it.
We did not have it to any appreciable extent before WWII. It has now developed into a secret government.
Every agency, not just the intelligence agencies, needs a thorough housecleaning and fumigation after the Kenyanesian Usurpation. Obama has embedded many enemy agents in every agency.
The CIA in particular needs neutering.
Agree on all points. Let us hope Trump does this. It's time to oust the socialist/globalist elements, root and branch.
I disagree. Information of which I have learned over the last year has convinced me that our "deep state" was created more or less by the ascendancy of Lincoln. It is no coincidence that the era right after Lincoln is know as the worst period of corruption in the nation's history.
I think the undue influence and corruption between the powerful industrialists and government continued after the gilded age, they just learned to be more circumspect about it.

This was in 1981.
The CIA has been infiltrated by incompetent progressives for some time. Witness the “secret agent” Valerie Plame (who was actually a desk jockey analyst of dubious worth) and her fraud of a husband Joseph Wilson of African uranium yellowcake “fame”.
