12 former top intel officials blast Trump’s move to revoke Brennan’s security clearance
BY JOHN BOWDEN - 08/16/18
Twelve former top U.S. intelligence officials on Thursday condemned President Trump’s decision to revoke the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan, calling it a blatant attempt to stifle Brennan’s criticism.
In a statement of support reported by multiple outlets, a dozen former officials including CIA directors dating back to the 1980s declared that “security clearances should be based on national security concerns and not political views.”
‘Insinuations and allegations of wrongdoing on the part of Brennan while in office are baseless,” the officials said. “We all agree that the president’s action regarding John Brennan and the threats of similar action against other former officials has nothing to do with who should and should not hold security clearances.”
“We have never before seen the approval or removal of security clearances used as a political tool, as was done in this case,” they added. “Beyond that, this action is quite clearly a signal to other current and former officials.”

From The Conservative Treehouse:

In this election, GOOD is going head-to-head against EVIL. When I say GOOD -vs- EVIL, let me give context.

These are the stakes. Given the nature of potential nuclear weapon use, three simultaneous global conflicts (likely 4 with Taiwan), a looming World War III, hundreds of thousands (perhaps millions) of slaughtered people, the likely elimination of the dollar as the global reserve currency for around half the world, a dollar-based central bank digital currency created by the United States Treasury if Biden wins, the catastrophic consequences in the lives of ordinary Americans, and essentially the end of projected USA power and the economic security that goes with it, there may not be a familiar tomorrow if the election goes the wrong way. With that in mind, the lowest possible consideration in my mind is 2028.

Next up, put this thinking cream into your coffee as we sip through the thought processes.

They crossed the Rubicon in 2020 with 51 high ranking Gov Intel members purposefully and specifically lying to the public. Does everyone realize the scale of that, and what it meant when they took that position on such an openly visible lie right to our faces, using our highest-ranking government intelligence members?

They don’t exactly come back from that; it was an all-in position…. and they did it. What does that stuff in 2020 tell you about 2024?

What they will do, based on what they have already done, is the stuff we should be thinking about.

Whether they “suggested” or not, their intent ws to mislead the public.

And, Iraq didn’t have Uranium nor is Iran enriching it.

Using their government titles to push a false narrative to insure the political outcome they wanted. Good little commies.
