Truman axed the OSS, and then created the CIA.

Saw Director Woolsey on Fox within the last 10 days. I was shocked by his washed-out appearance - he looked almost enfeebled. What’s more; he was NOT in command of the facts and kept fumbling for words.

Sadly, Director Woolsey may be sliding into dementia. While I wished the best for him, I hoped that he would not continue as a PE Trump surrogate.

“They have been at the center of at least 5 drug waves to hit America. ....... And heroin has now exploded from Afghanistan.”

Very true, but remember the true masters of the West’s intelligence agencies have been the international banksters.
Drug money makes the world go round. It provides needed solvency for the TBTF (too big to fail) institutions scattered across the globe. And, of course, the trade is largely done in dollars. The “Narco-dollar” props up the U.S. dollar much as the Saudi “Petro-dollar” does. Otherwise the dollar’s “reserve” status goes away.

I’m glad he’s gone. I was very skeptical when he was named too.

Thanks for posting that. Why am I not surprised?

Jared Kushner may as well be recruiting Hillary Clinton for a role in the Trump administration. I simply don't trust the guy.

Dan Coats is not the solution.

Rather, he smacks of sellout to the GOPe and the Schumer/intelligence threats.

But Woolsey likely a good part of the swamp to be draining too.

I think there was a place for more establishment stooges, in name only, to get this far through the transition.

My question right now is what are they doing with Coats?

:: Remember, these are spooks we are talking about ::

And, DJT has recently issued a “You’re Fired” edict for ALL _politically appointed_ foreign ambassadors and attache’s overseas.

I am not so ‘dense’ as to NOT consider many of those being severed are “spooks”.

Why are posting these tweets? Who gaf what these people tweet or think? If I wanted to read a litany of anti Trump tweets I’d go to twitter.
The story is not based on a tweet, but an actual article.

There is more to this story than meets the eye. Of that, I am sure.””

Goes without saying, this is a WaPo article courtesy of the DNC media machine.
