These 50 former intelligence officers are probably all working for companies, consultancies or foreign interests as registered agents that are either directly or indirectly funded by the Chinese. Not saying they are traitors but simply that they are compliantly listening to their master’s voices.

Brennan and clapper are correct. The Moscow wife of the former mayor paid Hunter Biden $3.5 million to drop the laptops off at the repair shop. The rest is history.

The 2014 transaction of $200m ($3.5 to HB) was to avoid Russian sanctions. Treasury and the State Department would have to know but they didn’t raise the issue.

50 former senior intelligence officials

It’s terrifying to realize that we had such idiots in charge of our intelligence agencies.

This can only mean that Hunter was behind the Russian disinformation plan. Use logic.

It also proves how incompetent the 50+ FORMER Intelligence Community members were when they were in charge.

I am very glad they are FORMER IC members if they are this inept.

The first one lies and the rest swear to it.

Thank God they’re not involved in national security any more. They’d sell their mother to the Chi-Coms for cash.

They're only repeating the propaganda message they've been told to bring forward.

Has a single one of these clowns done a review of Hunter Biden’s emails? The answer from their own letter is no: “We want to emphasize that we do not know if the emails, provided to the New York Post by President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, are genuine or not and that we do not have
evidence of Russian involvement. . .” This is what has passed for “intelligence” for the last two decades: treasonous partisan hacks pronouncing facts based on their own self-interests. But at least we should thank them for coming out openly, so that we know who needs to be hung for treason.

What we need to know is the following:

When each signer served in any intelligence agency and what was their job(s).

THEN, we need to know if we suffered any intelligence blunders or failures during their on-the-job work, such as”

* Benghazi fiasco and killings

* The Rise of ISIS (any idiot in intelligence should have seen it coming out of what was known about Saddam’s post-war plans for a Sunni/Shite war and uprising against America’s occupation period. The “red-beard” Saddam general was the designated leader of this underground army.

* The turn of Turkey to Islamic extremism and involvement in wars all over the Middle East From Libya to Iraq/Syria and perhaps Azerbajan/Armenia, the old Yugoslavia, Ukraine, etc.

*The deeper Russian military involvement in the Middle East/Asia Minor from (possibly Libya), definitely Syria, Lebanon (re Hezbollah), Iran (definitely), Iraq (possible via Iran), Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, the old Yugoslavia, Ukraine (absolutely), Belarus, (potentially Poland and the Baltic States, Hungary, Poland, CUBA, etc.

* The rise of a tremendous Red Chinese military buildup on earth and in space.

* The unparalleled expanding of Red Chinese penetration into Free World businesses, colleges, society groups, medical/technical research groups and institutes, newspapers and the US Congress (Feinstein, Chu, Meng, Lieu and a few others associated with their Chinese Progressive Association chapters throughout the US.

* The de facto seizure of Hong Kong by Red China

* The putting of Chinese Moslem Uigurs into essentially slave-labor/concentration camps.

* A brazen crackdown on the “freedom” movement in Mainland China

* Additional aid and possible puppeteer string-pulling in No. Korea

* Threats against Japan over WW2 islands

* Brazen daylight killings of dissidents in Russia/Moscow and overseas (esp. in England). The Old KGB never disappeared. It just changed its name.

*Upgraded and expanded “disinformation”, elections interference and propaganda manipulation

* “COLLUSIONGATE” creators thru Steele, his Russian KGB contacts, Hillary Clinton, Perkins Coi, Fusion GPS, and as-yet-uncovered agents in the US government.

* Russian/Soviet-style disinformation programs in the US media, often thru the late Soviet stooge or agent Prof. Stephen F. Cohen (Princeton) and his wife’s red magazine “The Nation”, by being on the John Batchelor Show and the Tucker Carson Show as a top Soviet/Russian expert instead of a Soviet/Russian asset, if not KGB/GRU active asset. See his article “The Soviet Union is Not a Basket Case” - It is strong and stable because the Kremlin keeps its promise”, Sunday, Aug. 21, 1983, p. c 5, first in “the Nation” and them reproduced in the Wash. Post’s communist propaganda pages of their “Outlook” weekly guest news columns/opinion/disinformation “columns”.

* Overestimating the repression of communist (not socialist) dictator of Venezuela and his successor, Maduro, against the freedom movement there, plus the extent of their economic support for their disasterous Marxist economic programs.

* Did any of them fail to see the Marxist nature of the Sandinista movement of Nicaragua and the FLMN (Front for the National Liberation of El Salvador), as well as the communist seizure of Grenada in the early 1980’s and then the more extreme communist coup by Hoard against a once Cuban/Soviet favorite Maurice Bishop (who was getting support from U.S. communist Rep. Ronald Dellums (D-CA) and his staffers, Carliotta Scott (Bishop’s American lover) and then the future US Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), Dellum’s top red staffer?

* Did these intel guys miss the major role that Red China played in the illegal Fentanyl smuggling operations into the US from Cuba, Latin America/Caribbean, and European (Netherlands)/Asia communist smuggling rings out of Red China, Hong Kong, perhaps Macao, via cutout sites in SE/Southern Asia?

Had enough of these buffoons and their failures or do you want to suffer more?

I haven’t even touched on the failures of the FBI under Mueller/Comey; DOJ under Holder/Lynch; DofState under Clinton/Rice/Kerry; illegal activities of the NSA; illegal activities of the DNI under Comrade Islamist Brennan; the failure of the DNI under “A bell is missing it’s Clapper”; and the corruption within the IRS.

I still haven’t mentioned military failures, Obama’s destruction of veteran military leaders from the frontlines of DOD, Obama’s (and Biden’s) allowing our military posture and infrastructure/equipment to deteriorate to the point that our present leaders say that we cannot win wars against Red China (esp. if Russia joins in).

* Won’t even mention massive Communist/Socialist/Progressive/Authoritarian racist penetration of Congress (See Trevour Loudon’s book “The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists and Progressives in the U.S. Congress”, esp. the second edition, “2013-2015 Edition”, documentaries of the same name, and his new ones on the US Marxist Left disguised as “progressives”. His website is www.keywiki.org. Also see David Horowitz’s good site, www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org for similar data.

I think I’ve covered the main points that I want to make. If I have left out anything else, Freepers, join in, esp. Fedora, Piasa, bitt, Travis McGee, etc.

The more information, the safer America will be.
