The CIA Democrats: A Balance Sheet of the Primaries

With the end the primary season, the Democratic Party leadership and their allies in the national security apparatus have completed the first stage of what might be termed a “friendly takeover” of the Democrats by candidates recruited from among military, CIA and civilian national security cadres.

The World Socialist Web Site first identified the phenomenon of the CIA Democrats in a series published in March. At the time we noted the large number of candidates drawn from the military-intelligence apparatus seeking Democratic nominations in competitive congressional districts. If the Democrats won the November election, we warned, such military-intelligence operatives would hold the balance of power in the new House of Representatives.

Of the 44 districts we identified in March—since grown to 46—military-intelligence candidates have won 30 nominations, a success rate of about 66 percent or two-thirds. That testifies to their extensive support from the Democratic Party leadership, from longtime financial backers of the Democrats, and from the top levels of the national security establishment.

Should read Balance Sheet if anyone can fix that for me.

Hit the abuse button on your post. It should be taken care of.

all the more reason to expect election fraud, rather than voter fraud, in the mid-term elections.

Dem voters wouldn’t have a clue about this.

Hmm. Very worrisome information. Marxist spooks with connections to intelligence apparatus. Great darkness is in the works.

If a civil war doesn't occur to put a stop to this takeover of our government, our descendants are gonna be living in a totalitarian dictatorship of a Marxist mold.

I have little faith in positive election process changing the scenario. The best hope we've had in decades has selected a do nothing AG, and I'm not even sure if he was intentionally chosen to do just that. Nothing. Something doesn't add up with Trump's lamentations about his AG when it's within his power to replace him.

As far as popular support, it's hard to gauge actually how much genuine support the Marixts have. They deffinitely gained a few hundred thousand stooges during the Obama usurpation. With such a powerfull propaganda complex in place beguiling the masses into believing that socialism is more popular than it really is, it's hard to tell what the true extent of the situation is.

Very young candidates running in some elections, some looking like they were on the Farm (their training school).

Thanks.

I view it as government cannibalism. One unelected operational branch of the government is running candidates that represent its own interests, rather than the people. This should maybe be emphasized in campaigning against them.
