The author claims superior expertise (and authority) as a former official in CIA and FBI.
Assuming she is telling the truth about her prior lives, I’d still recommend caution.
The intel agencies frequently confuse themselves with special ops personnel. They are mistaken in believing they measure up. They ought to stick to collecting intel information. It’s something they have been reasonably good at, now and then.
FBI agents have come to believe they are street cops. That isn’t what their agency was created to do, and they are out of their depth when trying to take on street-cop duties. And they cannot hope to come up to the bar, in counterintel and security threats originating outside our borders (assuming they haven’t merely devolved into the dirty-ops arm of the Left).
As far as my own expertise and authority goes, I spent more than two decades while on active duty, working closely with intel and security agencies. All of them.
“.... The intel agencies frequently confuse themselves with special ops personnel. ...”
In my experience, those people post-Intel career and their booking agents purposely blur the difference between what they did and special ops. They also rely on TV\movies, etc. to keep that distinction confused. More money that way!
