CIA directed in 1995 to seek Video Pirates
Fox News Channel | 9/18/01

Posted on 09/18/2001 7:35:33 AM PDT by MarketR

This just in to Fox News....Jim Christiansen, former CIA operative just said on Fox News that the CIA was directed in 1995 to seek out Video Pirates instead of terrorists.

He stated that during a top level meeting in which CIA and FBI were present, the station chief said that all efforts were being direscted toward Video Piracy instead of terrorism. The station chief, when questioned, stated that the directive came from the DCI. Who, of course, takes his orders from the President.

Well, appeasing Hollywood is more important than defending America.

I just heard the same thing! This needs to be shouted from the rooftops! I thought the Terrorist expert on Fox did a great job but did you notice how fast they got rid of him. He told it like it was! Wonder if we will hear anymore about this?

I sure hope they nipped that in the bud. Now I can finally get some sleep. /sarcasm.

Makes total sense. The porno industry probably put lots of pressure on Clinton to stop piracy of their videos. He had to respond.

I am flabbergasted, abhorred, what other words can I use.

He even said that they were tracking weapons of mass destruction and were called off that duty to do this. Can you believe this?

The intelligence agencies were specifically told to forgot about terrorism! Not to worry about nuclear arm shipments, submarines, fighter aircraft being sold and smuggled.

Probably because Clinton was in on those deals as well!

Here's the body of the post above and a BUMP!

Dave Christian - National Advisor on Defense Issues just stated that during a meeting in 1995 with the intelligence agencies (CIA, FBI, etc...) while they were discussing potential smuggling of nuclear weapons, submarines, etc... a CIA section chief told the group that their new directive was to stop video piracy - this was their new top priority. They were told to forget about terrorism! He also stated that many of the agents were very upset and this was directed by the people in power in 1995!

Just reported on Fox News

Let's make sure Hannity knows about this! (I'm sure he does, but a gentle poke to get him moving won't hurt.)

The former President of the United States, the 42nd President.

Thus our current President is 43 (no "X") and his dad is X41.

You're right. I wrote it down as Dave and typed it as Jim. My only excuse is the anger I'm feeling.

My apologies to Mr. Christian and Fox News.
