At the end of Trump's speech to a room filled with 400 employees of the CIA, Trump said, rather cryptically, that maybe he'd build them a bigger room 'by someone who knows how to build and we won't have columns, do you understand that?'

Actually he wasn't being cryptic at all he was making a comment on the architecture of the room. The hall he was speaking at is full of massive columns that block peoples ability to see a speaker.

I think that would mean that he was talking down to them - that they wouldn’t understand the concept of moving them to a larger room without columns built by people who know how to build such rooms. Why say they’d use qualified builders?
There are no CIA buildings designated for construction by unqualified builders.
I think he was saying he wants to expand the CIA (build a bigger room) and install leadership that is not 5th column and knows whom to purge among rank and file (knows how to build). And to clarify, because he was using veiled language, he asked “Do you understand that?”

Columns have a lot of meaning in the secret societies that the Bush/Clinton level globalists are involved in as well. The “Pergamon altar” at Obama’s DNC nomination in Denver in 2008 is just one example of this symbolic messaging. This wasn’t just a shot across the bow by Trump, it was a grazing blow.

HERE HERE! Exactly my thoughts. I can’t decide because the so-called “offensive” word was removed.

Would it have offended me? I doubt it. I believe in FREE SPEECH. That includes offensive words. I know one such word that is almost never said in TV shows because it might offend people.

That word is JESUS.

Was that the offensive word that was removed? How can I know?

My suggestion—as if anybody will care what an old lady thinks—is that the time is long past for quibbling over cuss words and whose delicate sensibilities might get bruised.
We are at war. CW II is already gearing up. In the coming years people will see and hear things far worse than swear words.
People need to either recognize leaders -—such as yourself, Matt and others—and start making worthwhile concrete contributions, whether it be riding hard their congressmen, or training for urban warfare, dusting off their first aid skills, stocking safehouses and setting up communications channels-—or they need to get the hell out of the way.
I’m sick and tired of pussies and whiners and snowflakes on our side. They’re objectively helping the other side.

Yep! Just because Trump won doesn't mean the fighting is over. The millions marching yesterday tells me it's just getting started.

From the link: "One source who attended Trump's appearance said many people there were troubled by the political aspect of the remarks, in which the president speculated about how many people in the room may have voted for him."

Concern troll.

The crowd knew why he was there, and they seemed to respect him for it.

No one under 60 knows what a fifth column or a fourth estate is.

I'm thinking someone who works for the CIA just might know.

Disguising active counter-measures? What else?

Concealed sniper post or posts.

I would have believed the statement was completely architectural, had he not added, "Do you understand that?", which changes the context entirely.

Are you sick and tired of FR mods? So-called “snowflakes” don’t control FR mods. The mods decided to remove the post. Take it up with them. Make sure you ridicule them and insist they don’t understand the situation our country is in and how we must immediately disown all attempts at respect and courtesy when conversing among ourselves. Prove to them that the constant profanity at DhimmiecraticUnderground.com helped DEMS win the last election so they understand we must mimic them immediately!

Make sure the mods “finally” understand your fellow FReepers do not deserve your consideration or respect and you simply won’t jeapordize the republic by employing civility. And then MAKE them do your bidding.

Sure sounds like the MSM and they are still at it

***************

The fourth estate has become a fifth column

And they’re reaching for the third rail

I believe Trump is on the right track in showing the MSM irrelevant, and basically outing the problem children of the CIA as the politically appointed leadership.

This is the guy who called Broom Hillary corrupt to her face in front of everyone in the room and the rest of the world via the camera as he roasted her and others at a dinner party during the campaign. A bull in a China shop deliberately overturning the tables.

We used the phrase here on Free Republic to describe a rogue CIA group trying to take down the POTUS

Dick, I love your meme and the picture. Exactly the right tone. I’m not looking for a go-along, get-along guy right now. I want a warrior.

Trump has his own intel assets. I also see the changes over the past weeks. I think it’s good. I think he meant exactly what he said and he emphasized it by asking them if they *got it*.

Brennan was not asked to stay on. He’s pissed and bitter and Reince made sure the media knows the administration knows it.

New Sheriff, new broom.

Thanks, the fact that Trump wants to get all info the intelligence community which he will judge for himself is a stunning reversal. Just the facts, ma’am is how Trump approaches making decisions.
