Enes Kantor, NBA player, Turkish Muslim, recently sworn in as a citizen of the United States, added "Freedom" to his name after he was sworn in as a citizen. He has been all smiles. He wears the new name of Freedom on his NBA jersey.

Most recently after becoming a citizen, he has appeared on many media outlets and said that in the U.S., people have the right to travel, to speak freely — freedoms he did not enjoy or imagine in Turkey. He celebrates his free speech when he wears shoes while playing basketball that say "No Beijing 2022; Free Tibet; Taiwan belongs to the people of Taiwan; Save Uighur." He said the NBA begged him not to wear the shoes. He replied to the NBA that this is America, and he has the right to free speech, and he wore the shoes. He said he may get fired, but someone has to speak out. He said his sister and parents have been persecuted in Turkey and cannot get jobs because of him, but he said someone has to speak out. He said America is the greatest country in the world and the First Amendment safeguards the greatest right we have. He said that when he came to America, he did not know what freedom was.

Back in the day of Wild Bill Donovan somewhat different obviously.
That he viewed MI5/6 as professionals is a whole another story.
You can't fix stupid,we are going to have to eliminate them in Rev II.
I don't want it but it will come.
One rule I learned the real-hard-way. Never
Ever blame stupidity when there’s a nefarious concern to be considered.
Pallets of cash, that’s how we do it.
The first step is wanting to win. Get back to me when we’re ready for that.
Not a chance there will be a Rev II.
If you and your buddy down the street form a resistance group, the third member will likely be a FIB informant.
Tactically, taking on an enemy where he is strong is silly.
