The CEO and the CIA (Fiorina)

One week after 9/11, Michael Hayden, the director of the National Security Agency, the electronic surveillance arm of the U.S. government, had a long list of problems. High on the list was the fact that the NSA needed a ton of new high-tech equipment, particularly servers, right away, to handle a vastly expanded, critically important workload.

Hayden called up the CEO of Hewlett Packard, Carly Fiorina. “HP made precisely the equipment we needed, and we needed in bulk,” says Robert Deitz, who was general counsel at the NSA from 1998 to 2006. Deitz recalls that a tractor-trailer full of HP servers and other equipment was on the Washington, D.C. Beltway, en route to retailers, at the very moment Hayden called. Fiorina instructed her team to postpone the retailer delivery and have the driver stop. An NSA police car met up with the tractor-trailer and the truck proceeded, with an armed escort, to NSA headquarters in Fort Meade, Maryland.

It was an early moment in the close professional relationship between Hayden and Fiorina. Five years later, President George W. Bush named Hayden director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Upon assuming control at Langley, Hayden decided that he wanted to create an ‘External Advisory Board.’ He once again turned to Fiorina, and she went on to chair that board.

Carly Fiorina was a HORRIBLE CEO at HP. I remember hearing about it in the news back in the late 1990s or maybe it was early 2000’s? This is when the economy was booming before 911.

She had massive layoffs and the HP stock dropped by 50% under her time there. Keep in mind the overall economy was booming.

So expect THAT to happen to America under her rule. Mass layoffs of American Workers, and the overall value of the country to be cut in half.

Furthermore, Carly Fiorina was caught illegally spying on her fellow Executives. She even lied about it and was thankfully caught. It created a MASSIVE DISTRUST among the Executives and the HP board of trustees. Carly Fiorina was thrown out of HP.

Don't forget she lost an election run she made. If she can't win a local election, then why risk a national election?

Throw in her CIA background.... Then translates to more BIG BROTHER or should I say BIG SIS government under a Carly Fiorina Administration. NO THANK YOU!

Carly Fiorina is a Rat. She will lose an election, and even if she was luck to win. It would be horrible for our Republic.

Do not trust her at all!
