From a political standpoint this might be one of the greatest dangers we face. The entire idea of a republic becomes academic if its own security/intelligence forces are manipulating elections.

Honestly it’s the main reason why I will vote for Trump again (assuming he gets the nomination). He must have traditional America in his heart or this rogues gallery of DEI activists, powerful elites, rich internationalists, shady bureaucrats, feminists, neocons, Trans rights, former spies and above all Leftist Democrats would not hate him so.

As Gentry said the only way out if this is mass firing of leadership in all intelligence organizations. A coup and one very widespread and deep—-traditional America is in that much under assault.

With that particular community, simply firing eouldn't be enough, because they would continue to use their connections to muck around. Those fired would need to have security cleatances stripped, and made it known that their whereabouts and contacts could be monitored at any time (assuming they aren't in jail).

Bonzo’s “seventeen intelligence communities” should be shut down from now until after the elections are over and the ballots have been counted. Look what their insurrectumy gave us back in 2020. Four years of commie crap.

Dr. John Gentry, author of the new book, “Neutering the CIA: Why US Intelligence Versus Trump Has Long-Term Consequences,” told Fox News Digital: “My guess is that the the unified deep state, within the 17 tax-financed agencies that comprise the US govt intel community, will reemerge in the 2024 campaign.” Biden will again be key to suppressing the threat to biased internal policies that are the intel agencies’ driving force.”


REFERENCE——Within days of the New York Post story that detailed the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop WRT the 2020 election, 51 former US govt intelligence officials signed onto a letter in an attempt to discredit the laptop, saying it “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

The intel signers’ purpose was to protect candidate Biden and to invent a salient talking
point (a point which Biden seized upon and used to good effect in a presidential debate).

Not just our intel agencies.

Anyone else still wondering what Chrisopher Steel was doing in Italy and Canada in 2016...

We just saw yesterday an in-depth documentary on the fraudster known as Obozo. Clear Obozo is a CIA-fabricated reality, which positively proves our intelligence agencies have been working on the destruction of this Country for a long, long time. JFK’s assassination is another example of their handicraft. After all this time, it is rational to conclude that nothing official will be done to rectify any of the past illegal activity and the criminal enterprise knows it. One thing is certain, this fabricated reality can’t go on the way it’s going on. Something’s going to snap.

That will be a temporary fix at best.

Much of the Deep State is career officials who cannot be fired.

The only way to get rid of them is to abolish their entire branch, division or agency.

Is all this national security secrecy really worth it—or has the cost finally outweighed the benefits?

“ But it took a significant step forward, or not, depending on your perspective, when President Obama signed an executive order designed to improve diversity and inclusion in the federal workforce.”

“ Gentry told Fox News Digital that discussions about personal politics didn’t happen during his time at the CIA but that sources in the intelligence community during the Obama years told him that standard was largely “gone” and political activism was “common.”

The USA was murdered November, 2008 by The Transformer, Obama.

Unfortunately, we need a military coup to stop the Deep State.

There is no other solution.

And this military coup cannot come from the top, because the senior officers in the military are counted among the enemy.

So basically, there have to be 2 coups. First, a coup within the military to oust the generals aiding and abetting the Deep State...and then, second, a military coup to wrest control from the Marxists within the Deep State.

We have ceased to be a self-governing republic since the inception of these alphabet agencies. Until this Nazi front group, among many others, is purged from the country, we will have foreign agents selecting our leaders.

Deep state within the intelligence community is a secret society as in the Fabian Society with more power.

This sounds like justification for the CIA to interfere in the 2024 election to keep others from doing the same thing. Kind of like the “Let’s destroy democracy to prevent Donald Trump from destroying democracy” campaign.

He is the very thing he warns about, besides selling his book:

John A. Gentry is an adjunct professor with Georgetown University's Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service and also teaches for the Department of Defense and Strategic Studies, Missouri State University. He was for 12 years an intelligence analyst at the Central Intelligence Agency, where he worked mainly economic issues associated with the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries; for two of those years, he was senior analyst on the staff of the National Intelligence Officer for Warning. He is a retired U.S. Army Reserve officer, with most assignments in special operations and intelligence arenas. He was mobilized in 1996 and spent much of 1996 as a civil affairs officer in Bosnia. Dr. Gentry formerly taught at Columbia University, the College of International Security Affairs of National Defense University, and National Intelligence University. His research interests primarily are in intelligence and security studies. He has written or co-authored four books, edited or co-edited two other books, and written or co-authored about 40 articles and book chapters, mainly on intelligence subjects. He is a member of the Editorial Committee of the International Journal of Intelligence and CounterIntelligence. He received his Ph.D. in political science from The George Washington University.Neutering the CIA: Why Us Intelligence Versus Trump Has Long-term Consequences Hardcover – July 26, 2023


Neutering the CIA: Why Us Intelligence Versus Trump Has Long-term Consequences Hardcover – July 26, 2023
https://www.amazon.com/Neutering-CIA-Intelligence-Long-Term-Consequences/dp/1956450688

Beginning in 2016, former and currently serving US intelligence officers, mainly from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), conducted a major political campaign featuring public commentary and leaks designed to thwart the presidential candidacy, and then the presidency, of Donald Trump. This “politicization” of intelligence, which traditionally is defined as the injection of personal or organizational perspectives into intelligence products to serve personal, ideological, or organizational interests of intelligence officers, reflected a remarkable change from the once-strong CIA ethos of apolitical public service. This book describes the startling political activism of intelligence officers in recent years, identifies its causes, and evaluates its many negative consequences. Most importantly, the activists damaged the credibility of US intelligence in the eyes of Trump Administration officials and undoubtedly many future senior national leaders, thereby eroding the trust in intelligence that decision-makers must have if they are to use intelligence effectively. Although the overt activism subsided in 2021, the Biden administration has not addressed its causes. The evident success of activists in helping to defeat Trump in 2020 surely has emboldened some intelligence officers, who remain poised to attack presidential candidates whose political views they dislike. This book also identifies actions needed to address this significant threat to American democracy.
