“Mr Brennan has a history that calls into question his objectivity and credibility.” (President Donald Trump, Aug.15, 2018.)
“Cuba is not a threat to the United States…They don’t implicate our national security in any way…The government of Cuba has not provided any support for international terrorism during the preceding six-month period; and the government of Cuba has provided assurances that it will not support acts of international terrorism in the future.” (President Obama after meeting with Raul Castro in Panama and recommending that Stalinist Cuba be removed from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, April 14th, 2015.).
Presumably the head of the CIA at the time John Brennan, who had been a close national security advisor to Barack Obama since his 2008 campaign, signed-off on (and maybe even encouraged) Obama’s decision to whitewash and legitimize the Castro-Family-Crime-Syndicate. Never mind that this whitewash required taking one of modern history’s most infamous liars at his word.
But in fact, only a few weeks before Obama’s (and presumably Brennan’s) giddy acceptance of Castro’s promise (“cross my heart and hope to die!”), Castro got caught red-handed supplying Chinese-made arms to the Western hemisphere’s oldest, biggest and most murderous terror-group: Colombia’s FARC. The terror-death toll from these Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) exceeds 200,000, and includes more U.S. citizens than were murdered by ISIS.
So maybe it was a mere coincidence that the very week Obama (with presumably Brennan’s support) planned to remove Cuba as a terror-sponsor the mainstream media (especially CNN) blacked-out any mention of this blatant terror-sponsorship by Cuba in our own backyard?
You see, amigos: In February 2015, Colombian authorities found 99 missile heads, 100 tons of gunpowder, 2.6 million detonators, and over 3,000 artillery shells hidden under rice sacks in a ship bound from Red China to Cuba that docked in the port of Cartagena Colombia.
Most Cuba-watchers immediately guessed what was up. And crackerjack Colombian (NOT CNN, heaven forbid!) reporters quickly investigated and exposed the Castro-regime’s terror-sponsoring scheme. In brief:
*The arms were from a Chinese manufacturer named Norinco and the recipient was a Cuban company named Tecnoimport.
*But the ship stopped in the Colombian ports of Cartagena and Baranquilla (where the FARC is based.)
* Colombia’s crackerjack newspaper El Espectator also reported that many Norinco-manufactured arms had already been captured from FARC guerrillas over the past ten years. This proliferation of Cuba-smuggled Chinese arms to the terrorist FARC got so bad that in 2007-08 the Colombian authorities even sent a diplomatic protest note to the Chinese.
This awkward information at such an awkward time, needless to say, might have hampered Obama’s plan (with presumably Brennan’s support) to cleanse the Castro regime from any taint of terror-sponsorship—at least for people with half-a-brain.
But shouldn’t the head of (probably) the world’s largest and most lavishly–funded intelligence agency (the CIA) have been aware of this Cuban terror-sponsorship on our very doorstep? So how could he possibly sign-off on Obama’s howler that “the government of Cuba has not provided any support for international terrorism during the preceding six-month period?
Two years earlier (with John Brennan the recently appointed CIA director by Obama) Panamanian authorities discovered unregistered Russian missile parts and actual MIG jets hidden in a North Korean ship that had just left terror-sponsoring Cuba and was bound for terror-sponsoring North Korea through the Panama Canal. All the Russian made contraband was hidden under sacks of Cuban sugar. An investigation by a U.N. panel (no less!) concluded that the Cuban smuggling was a blatant violation of international sanctions.
Shouldn’t a CIA director have been aware of this illegal, blatant and repeated smuggling of arms from one terror-sponsor to another in our own backyard?
But AH! Looking the other way was very convenient for de-classifying the blatantly guilty party from the list of terror-sponsors--a condition Castro demanded before he would deign to allow Obama to legitimize and enrich his regime. The Castros, you see, knew full well how Obama desperately craved this “opening” to Cuba for his “legacy.
So they had a ball! They played him like a fiddle, humiliating his “negotiators’ (mostly Pajama-Boy Ben Rhodes) at every turn and absolutely mercilessly, while snickering.
But perhaps we're being overly harsh on John Brennan’s stupidity (or disingenuousness) regarding Castroism? After all, he follows a long and illustrious U.S. national security tradition on the Castros. To wit:
“Fidel Castro is not only not a communist –he’s a strong anti-Communist fighter. He’s ready to help us in the hemisphere’s anti-communist fight and we should share our intelligence with him.” (CIA Cuba “expert” Frank Bender, April, 1959.)
“Don’t worry. We’ve infiltrated Castro’s guerrilla group in the Sierra Mountains. The Castro brothers and Ernesto “Che” Guevara have no affiliations with any Communists whatsoever.” (Havana CIA station chief Jim Noel, 1958.—(in fact, the Castro brothers and Che Guevara had a KGB handler named Nikolai Leonev since 1954!)
“Nothing but refugee rumors. There’s no likelihood that the Soviets or Cubans would try and install an offensive capability (missiles) in Cuba.” (JFK’s National Security advisor Mc George Bundy on ABC’s Issues and Answers on October 14, 1962.
Exactly 48 hours later U-2 photos sat on JFK’s desk revealing that those “refugee rumors” were sitting in Cuba and pointed directly at Bundy, JFK and their entire staff of sagacious Ivy League national security wizards.
FoxNews should add one conservative news anchor to the ranks ... after all the ‘night conservative commentators are supporting the whole network.

There is mounting evidence that Brennan is an Iranian agent and has been since the 1970s
Good point.
Dates are important b/c Snowden’s’ revelations indicate Obama’s government spying apparatus began capturing all electronic data on Americans in 2001.
Coordinated intentional choice to NOT pick up ...too busy spying on private American citizens?
More than likely that’s the reason.
I wonder what part he played in 9/11?
Too bad these has-beens like Brennan don’t have the same attitude that Harry Truman had:
After his presidency this happened: “When offered corporate positions at large salaries, he declined, stating, ‘You don’t want me. You want the office of the President, and that doesn’t belong to me. It belongs to the American people and IT’S NOT FOR SALE.’” (emphasis mine)
I still can’t believe the Kenyan had this grumpy old white bozo running the CIA.
If it was 2001, how was it Obama's government?
Obama was the perfect untouchable infiltrator the deep state commies and globalist move needed to run reckless in our government. They thought they furewalled it for eternity ...then God intervened...Trump wasele Ted and they are horrified. It is all going down.
Yeah, really. Where was everyone else! No one knew this? No one did anything about this?
Good lord, such corruption and incompetence.
The same agency that somehow managed to find bin Laden can’t find weapons of mass destruction or Brennans dirty background
Thanks Liz
Brennans actions are outrageous and need to be heavily publicized.
Dates are important b/c Snowden’s’ revelations indicate Obama’s government spying apparatus began capturing all electronic data on Americans in 2001.++++++++
2001 wasn’t Obama’s government. That would have been Bush’s government.
Should read.....Obama’s police state had a lot of help.....
Govt spying apparatus began capturing all electronic data on Americans in 2001.
Others who are equally as dangerous need also be rooted out and stripped of their security clearance for the good of the Republic.
Their clarion call will be, 'it's been going on forever' - as if long term corruption was more acceptable than short term corruption.
If the Department of the Treasury was giving JP Morgan insider information do you think JP Morgan would spread the word? No.
The press won't either... they're in on the corruption together.
Why hire investigative reporters for full salaries when you can call up a corrupt hack like Brennan and get all the info you want on conservatives. His 'office' spends billions on research - so Chuck Todd and the rest can get private 'briefings'.
Brennan and the other sh*ts in ‘intelligence’ weren't collecting information to protect American citizens. They were collecting information to protect the power of corrupt white liberal elites... It's criminal and might be treason.
Me too.
Thanks to Donna for the above.
