It is the CIA’s job to protect America.
It is NOT its job to spy on Americans.
If they think this is their job, its time to eliminate the CIA
“It is the CIA’s job to protect America.”
Unfortunately the CIA has NEVER believed that protecting America was their intended purpose. For a chilling account of what the CIA is really about read “The Devil’s Chessboard” by David Talbot.
“If they think this is their job, its time to eliminate the CIA”
The best moment of the CIA was during the Cold War when they knew the Soviets were trying to steal our (natural gas) pipeline control software. So the CIA developed some ‘alternate code’ for the Soviets and with it came the largest non-nuclear explosion in recorded history (in Siberia). And the Soviets learned a lesson - don’t steal code from the US, you can never trust it.
But, at this point, if the elimination of the FBI, NSA, and CIA results in the US having to deal with an extra terrorist attack or two every year, SO BE IT, it’s a relatively small price to pay when compared to losing our ability to have fair elections. And it does seem to be the only choice - if we have those 3-letter agencies, they WILL interfere in elections, and have the Democrats and media FULLY SUPPORTING them. So, sadly, they must go.
