History of the USSR's/Russia's efforts to "manipulate" American opinion, Serial failures of the U.S. "intelligence community"
On July 19, 2018, the New York Times ran an op-ed by Will Hurd, the sitting Republican Congressman representing the 23rd District of Texas.
It was entitled “Trump Is Being Manipulated by Putin. What Should We Do?”
Mr. Hurd, identified as a “former C.I.A. officer”, began his op-ed thusly:
As of today, the overwhelming evidence indicates America’s own deep state and corrupt insiders/spooks like Brennan, Comey and Stzok meddled deeply in America’s election. The word we should use is “treason.”
Democrats generally supported CIA until the Kennedy/McGovern wing seized control of the party and then they damn near destroyed the agency.
The only reason Democrats claim to respect the intel people now is they installed their own hacks in senior positions and politicized the agencies like Hussein did most of the government.
Same people who assured us that Iraq had WMD’s and did not have a clue about 9/11.
Over at 70 year history, the CIA has tarnished America from one end of the world of the other. Their intelligence has been spectacularly bad constantly. They have missed every attack on America, cause the assassination of Kennedy, been involved in at least four different waves of dope smuggling. This constant Adoration of the intelligence agencies needs to end
They also said N. Korea was “3-5 years away” from a nuke right up until they detonated one. Nor did they correctly predict China, India or Pakistan getting them. And they never saw the fall of the Soviet Union coming.
Bill Binney’s program alerted on the key players of 9/11 on a retroactive analysis of the data but NSA shut his project down...mere weeks prior to 9/11.
People even here denigrate conspiracy theories, but there’s a lotta smoke comin’ from NSA these days which makes me wonder.
One question: “Cui bono?”
Answer: NSA, and generously-so.
It is not beyond the realm of possibility that they let 9/11 happen for their own purposes.
