A Long-Forgotten CIA Document From WikiLeaks Sheds Critical Light on Today's U.S. Politics and Wars

The Agency knew that their best asset for selling their wars was Barack Obama -- the same reason so many in the security state were eager to get rid of Donald Trump.

I read about half. That was enough to be disgusted.

The CIA has been plotting against Trump since before the election...but I guess that’s not shocking news.

It did get me thinking though..if we go along with a biden presidency, knowing that he really lost and badly...

Aren’t we going to be in some part responsible for the boys that die or get maimed for life fighting wars for the CIA and deep state and too many in congress?

That would greatly sadden me.

But the legislatures in GA and PA are showing some courage.

I will keep praying for them to keep finding courage.

What Trump is achieving by opening the White House doors to Sisi is not ushering in a new policy but rather clarifying and illuminating a very old one. This Trumpian effect — unmasking in all its naked ugliness what D.C. mavens prefer to keep hidden — is visible in multiple other areas…..

That’s the reason so many in Washington — who never met a pro-U.S. dictator they weren’t willing to arm and fund — are so upset by all this. Sisi isn’t someone you invite over to your house for dinner; he’s someone you send money and weapons to in secret after you give your pretty speeches in front of American flags about human rights and freedom. What Trump is violating is not any Washington principles or ethics but Washington propaganda tactics.

And there it is. The foundational cause of Trump hate. That Trump has exposed the hypocrisy of the establishment that preaches one thing, while lining their pockets. And the trick of this club is no one is supposed to expose the hypocrisy for what it is.

I wrote this on another thread this evening that was dead, but it is applicable to this piece by Greenwald -

Regarding the Iraq war and other engagements -

History will look back on what those in charge did to “depose Saddam” and scratch their heads. They were so proud of shock and awe where we unnecessarily went all over Iraq blowing up $10,000 bridges with $100,000 bombs and $80,000,000 planes or $1,000,000 cruise missiles launched from billion dollar vessels.

I am serious. To add insult to injury, the diplomats then came into Iraq and “we, the people” paid TRILLIONS of dollars (total) to “government contractors” like James Biden to rebuild the $10,000 stuff we destroyed. You cannot make this stuff up!

Is there any doubt as to why the entire swamp wants us to continue these wars? You retire from government with your pension and then make 4 times as much administering this shit show complete with kickbacks for politicians. The wars make diplomats important and there are lots of good postings.... you can do your time in Iraq administering billions of dollars and come back until retirement and teach at some ivory tower school for a big salary or make bank as a consultant.

People should really think about this because NOTHING I said above is not true. This is what we did. Sure, the money flowed (and still flows) for the connected people, but our young people were sacrificed (some literally) and many will live with it the rest of their lives while those who sent them there were in black ties eating cocktail shrimp and rubbing elbows together while convincing themselves how great and noble it all was.

The devil himself could not have designed a more evil story!

Pretty much the entire deep state - diplomats, intel folks, DOD officials, think tanks, government contractors, and the defense industry have benefited from our continued presence on the ground in the Middle East and our fruitless efforts to build a democracy in a country that does not really want one. Hell, even the media loved it.

Think about it

We have spent hundreds of billions of dollars each year for the last two decades on this mess and our young people gave their lives, limbs, minds, and blood.

What happens to all these swamp creatures when that stops?
