I am glad for the leaks too. In this day of hard to get TRUTH, every whistle blower is a hero imho.
There is no doubt in my mind that the CIA has the capabilities described in the Wikileaks release. If the person or persons who provided that information to Wikileaks knows or has reason to believe that “the CIA” has used or is using that technology on American citizens - “US Persons” - they are patriots, not traitors.
However, I seriously doubt that the CIA, as an institution, has done so. It is far more likely that persons within or close to the CIA, or with access to CIA technology and loyal to Obama and Brennan and acting on their orders is capable of doing so and probably has.
One has to look at the Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the highest levels of our government, facilitated by Obama Inc.
“Thoughts?” ... leaker should share the Nobel Peace Prize with Snowden, as they both exposed to us the extent these faceless hacks intrude on every asp4ct of out lives and thought.
Glen Beck? Is he on or off his mess this week?
The swamp is worse than most can imagine.
In order to MAGA we must MGCA!
President Trump, Make Government Constitutional Again!
“He was saying that whoever in the CIA that leak that information to WikiLeaks is as big of a traitor to our country as the Rosenbergs’s are.”
Nah, the Rosenbergs betrayed the American people to a foreign power. The leakers betray an out of control government to the American people. Pretty much diametric opposites.
And to think that the agency was once led by a muzzie.
I will blame you. If you were listening to Michael “Barack is Great” Medved or Glen “I am Great “ Beck, you deserve all the blame. Hewitt sucks, and Levin as well.
The CIA/NSA/DHS/... responsibilities are better left to our military and states, who's power is somewhat curtailed by a periodic change of duty station, and in the case of states, closer to the people.
The above, out-of-control agencies, are far worse than standing armies our founders attempted to protect us from in the Constitution.
I know many will disagree, but IMO, the Federal government should be limited to providing a Federal Marshal service and FBI back to providing "investigative" services as was its original intent.
I am prepared and ready for the whole enchilada to be laid bare for all to see. Let the chips fall where they may. We will recover. Progressivism will not recover.
As for Wikileaks....they’ve not ever been proven wrong, so I believe his revelations have—in the end—been good. Our freedoms are being usurped.
I thought the CIA’s charter, or whatever, was external. No domestic spying.
What exactly did our enemies like Russia and China learn from these Wiki leak dumps they didn’t already know? Nasa is my guess.
What did the American people learn/realize from these Wiki leaks revelations on how our goVT spooks spy on us “we the people” ?
OK I can turn my smart-spy TV back on now.
I do not pretend to have an answer, but have always assumed from that report forward, that there was a strong possibility of a similar division, as different factions, in and out of Government, grappled with foreign policy questions; especially as so often our State Department appeared to be embracing policy that seemed actually opposed to American interests.
I admit that I have no personal knowledge of the answer.
