Hello! Just wanted to say that you might be right - that Manning is a communist agent misleading the people supporting him - we will have to see what Manning does at his trial.
However, you make the assumption that the CIA is all one pro freedom organization. It is not. It is riddled with communists and, in fact, the left has dominated the agency for a long time. The CIA “missed” the economic hammer Reagan was putting on the Soviet Union and bad mouthed Reagan’s Soviet policy as “stupid and dangerous.” They never acknowledged it was breaking the economic back of the Soviet Union. They spent the entire time Bush was in office undermining his foreign policy as well. They are quiet as a mouse on Obama’s background...
After the fact (with the Soviets collapsed), everyone wondered “how could the CIA have missed the falling of the Soviet Empire”? They did not miss it. They were trying to derail Reagan by offering up only bad news on his politically incorrect “evil empire” strategy. They were trying to rescue the Soviet Union.
Obama could easily have been anti-American, pro communist and have been an agent of the CIA.
Something for you to consider regarding the "collapse" of the Evil Empire and Communism:
Did Communism Fake Its Own Death in 1991?
American Thinker ^ | January 16, 2010 | Jason McNew
In a bizarre 1984 book [New Lies for Old], ex-KGB Major Anatoliy Golitsyn predicted the liberalization of the Soviet Bloc and claimed that it would be a strategic deception. ..."
"Golitsyn's argument was that beginning in about 1960, the Soviet Union embarked on a strategy of massive long-range strategic deception which would span several decades and result in the destruction of Western capitalism and the erection of a communist world government."
"Golitsyn published his second book, The Perestroika Deception, after the Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991. This book contained further analysis of the liberalization, in addition to previously classified memoranda submitted by Golitsyn to the CIA. The two books must be read together to get a complete picture of Golitsyn's thesis."
