CIA Director Once Voted for Communist Presidential Candidate

CIA Director John Brennan voted for the Communist Party candidate in the 1976 presidential election.

Brennan told a congressional panel last week that he “froze” while taking a CIA polygraph test four years later when the questioner asked him if he had ever worked with or for a group that was “dedicated to overthrowing the U.S.,” CNN reported.

“This was back in 1980, and I thought back to a previous election where I voted, and I voted for the Communist Party candidate,” Brennan said at a panel discussion regarding diversity in the intelligence community during the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s annual conference.

Someone had asked whether experience in political activism could harm someone who later attempts to obtain a security clearance. Brennan said the CIA is committed to upholding the values of the Constitution.

“We’ve all had indiscretions in our past,” he said. “I would not be up here if that was disqualifying.”

Brennan said he decided to acknowledge his vote for Communist Gus Hall, the Communist Party USA’s four-time presidential candidate, when undergoing the lie detector test.

“I said I was neither Democratic or Republican, but it was my way, as I was going to college, of signaling my unhappiness with the system, and the need for change. I said I’m not a member of the Communist Party, so the polygrapher looked at me and said, ‘OK,’” Brennan said.

“So if back in 1980, John Brennan was allowed to say, ‘I voted for the Communist Party with Gus Hall’ … and still got through, rest assured that your rights and your expressions and your freedom of speech as Americans is something that’s not going to be disqualifying of you as you pursue a career in government,” he continued.

The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation is a communist group.

Barack Obama, from Dreams from My Father, Three Rivers Press, New York, Revised Edition, 2004, ISBN 1-4000-8277-3, p. 76-7:
"But by the time I met Frank [Frank Marshall Davis] he must have been pushing eighty, with a big, dewlapped face and an ill-kempt gray Afro that made him look like an old, shaggy-maned lion. He would read us his poetry whenever we stopped by his house, sharing whiskey with Gramps out of an emptied jelly jar."

Obama's Red Mentor Praised Red Army
AIM Report | By Cliff Kincaid | April 30, 2008

Barack Obama's childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA (CPUSA), wrote a poem dedicated to the Soviet Red Army. "Smash on, victory-eating Red Army," he declared. He also wrote poems attacking traditional Christianity and the work of Christian missionaries.

The "Red Army" poem goes beyond hoping for the communists to beat the Nazis in World War II and hails the Soviet revolution. It says:

Show the marveling multitudes
Americans, British, all your allied brothers
How strong you are
How great you are
How your young tree of new unity
Planted twenty-five years ago
Bears today the golden fruit of victory!

Obama's Communist Mentor
AIM Column | By Cliff Kincaid | February 18, 2008

excerpt...

"through Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his 'poetry' and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just 'Frank.'

The reason is apparent: Davis was a known communist who belonged to a party subservient to the Soviet Union. In fact, the 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified him as a CPUSA member. What's more, anti-communist congressional committees, including the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), accused Davis of involvement in several communist-front organizations."

Frank Chapman, a CPUSA supporter, has written a letter to the party newspaper hailing the Illinois senator's victory in the Iowa caucuses:

" Obama's victory was more than a progressive move; it was a dialectical leap ushering in a qualitatively new era of struggle. Marx once compared revolutionary struggle with the work of the mole, who sometimes burrows so far beneath the ground that he leaves no trace of his movement on the surface. This is the old revolutionary 'mole,' not only showing his traces on the surface but also breaking through."

-People's Weekly World (PWW), official newspaper of the Communist Party, USA:

This A-hole needs to be dragged out of the CIA and strung up on the White House lawn.

[keat]

Even before I learned this, I’ve always felt Brennan was one of the most disgusting people on earth. I rank him up there with Soros and Obama.

[ETL]

Who vetted this idiot?

Like that would make a difference? W have a communist in the White House. The real idiots are the people who vote for these scum.

[Carl Vehse]

Note that CIA Director John Brennan did not apologize or express any regret for supporting the Communist Party and its candidate, Gus Hall. So now we have a CIA Director who is an admitted traitor to the United States of America.

There's a Memorial Wall at CIA Headquarters in Langley, VA, to honor CIA employees who gave their lives in service to the United States.

John Brennon has just pissed on that Memorial Wall.

Enemy islamist, just like the so-called CIC.

CIA has been a globalist operation for years.

I agree. It’s a relic from the cold war. Now it is nothing more than a bunch of Ivy League kids sitting around reading diversity manuals.

Indictment during the 'Red Scare' and rise to the head of the CPUSA [Communist Party USA]

Seen as a Moscow loyalist, Hall's reputation in the party rose after the war. In 1946 he was elected to the national executive board of the party under the new general secretary, Eugene Dennis, a pro-Soviet Marxist–Leninist, who had replaced Earl Browder after the latter's expulsion from the party.^[4][11]

Hall's mugshot, taken during his prison sentence in
Leavenworth, Kansas for "Conspiring and Teaching
Overthrow of the U.S. Government by Force or Violence".

The Kenyanesian Usurpation was brought to you by BOTH parties.

The Constitution says natural born citizen.
That means one who is naturally an American because they couldn’t be anything else, born here of citizen parents.
Everyone in DC wanted that changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
The Senate passed a resolution declaring McCain a natural born citizen because he had TWO citizen parents, even though he was born in Panama.
Then Obama runs and wins based on just being born here, even though he told us on his website he was born a British subject.
So the standard went from born here of citizen parents to just TWO citizen parents to just being born here in one election cycle without amending the Constitution.
This was done intentionally because Rubio (no citizen parents), Cruz (foreign birth, one citizen parent), Jindal (no citizen parents), and Haley (no citizen parents) were all ineligible and the future of the GOP.

The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because they all cooperated in the violation of the Constitution.

Why am I not surprised?

This has been my fb profile pic for a few months.

When I changed it, I also removed all my personal info, posts and pics. The only thing I've been using fb for since then is sharing news articles. Like this one. I'm sure my family thinks I'm crazy but probably less so all the time. They rarely "like" my posts yet no one has unfriended or even unfollowed me.

[Uncle Sam 911]

I was never that stupid or traitorous as a young man. And I did not move up in government.

[henkster]

I had “youthful indiscretions.” They usually involved alcohol, fast cars, good friends who came up with dumb ideas and maybe once in a while a girl.

But my “youthful indiscretions” never consisted of Treason.

[faucetman]

Hey, my first vote was for Carter. A YUGE number of people voted for Obama... TWICE!

Everybody makes mistakes.
