All kinds of shady stuff goes on. There is a poster here who always makes fun of my claim that Bing Crosby and his brother were involved in helping to frame an Indonesia leader by producing a fake honey trap
The details of whether the actor (Bing Cosby wasnt in the film) actually wore a mask are sketchy. Infamous CIA cutout claims they didnt use a mask.
But the event DID happen. It back fired because it did not tarnish the reputation of the leader.
People should really read the story behind the Indonesia Leader attempted coup by KGB and CIA.
Here is one example of the story.
You can read that and then understand why, of course, Russia tried to influence our election. Countries do it all the time.
Why wouldn’t some intelligence operatives take advantage of the wackiness of the Dems to try to destabilize our govt. It was a golden opportunity for other countries. Heck, China probably even tried.
In my view, they succeeded ..at least in part..in their goal.
John Brennan should have been an expert at destabilization.
