A friend sent me a link to the article below along with the following note:<\/p>\n
Since Obama political appointees have infiltrated the Intelligence Community, it has gone political.\u00a0\u00a0 No one before Obama put political appointees there.\u00a0 For example, in 2012 Obama put his White House lawyer as the NSA AG – never done before – always someone who knew the mission and had risen through the ranks held every position BUT the Director.\u00a0 As Congress has to approve that position – that is the only position that was ever tainted with politics.\u00a0 True for all other positions as well.\u00a0\u00a0 NSA, NGA, and DIA were always under the Department of Defense umbrella until 911.\u00a0 After 911 they created a DNI – which caused loyalty issues for those that forgot we took an oath to the constitution not to any department or person.\u00a0\u00a0 That’s how Brennan got appointed.\u00a0\u00a0 That is how the spying on the Trump campaigned happened – Obama put people in place prior to the 2016 election to enable getting information about the opponent’s campaign to insure HRC won.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n On February 14th, 2021, Zero Hedge<\/a> posted an article about what has happened to our intelligence community. The article is titled, “Opening The CIA’s Can Of Worms”<\/p>\n The article reports:<\/p>\n \u201cThe CIA and the media are part of the same criminal conspiracy,\u201d <\/em><\/strong>wrote Douglas Valentine in his important book,\u00a0The CIA As Organized Crime.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n This is true.\u00a0 The corporate mainstream media are stenographers for the national security state\u2019s ongoing psychological operations aimed at the American people, just as they have done the same for an international audience.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n We have long been subjected to this \u201cinformation warfare,\u201d whose purpose is to win the hearts and minds of the American people and pacify them into victims of their own complicity, just as it was practiced long ago by the CIA in Vietnam and by\u00a0The New York Times, CBS,<\/em>\u00a0etc. on the American people then and over the years as the American warfare state waged endless wars, coups, false flag operations, and assassinations at home and abroad.<\/strong><\/p>\n Another way of putting this is to say for all practical purposes when it comes to matters that bear on important foreign and domestic matters, the CIA and the corporate mainstream media cannot be distinguished.<\/strong><\/p>\n For those who read and study history, it has long been known that the CIA has placed their operatives throughout every agency of the U.S. government, as explained by Fletcher Prouty in\u00a0The Secret Team<\/em>; that CIA officers Cord Myer and Frank Wisner operated secret programs to get some of the most vocal exponents of intellectual freedom among intellectuals, journalists, and writers to be their voices for unfreedom and censorship, as explained by Frances Stonor Saunders in\u00a0The Cultural Cold War<\/em>\u00a0and Joel Whitney in\u00a0Finks<\/em>, among others; that Cord Myer was especially focused on and successful in \u201ccourting the Compatible Left\u201d since right wingers were already in the Agency\u2019s pocket.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n All this is documented and not disputed.\u00a0 It is shocking only to those who don\u2019t do their homework and see what is happening today outside a broad historical context.<\/strong><\/p>\n With the rise of alternate media and a wide array of dissenting voices on the internet, the establishment felt threatened and went on the defensive.\u00a0It, therefore, should come as no surprise that those same elite corporate media are now leading the charge for increased censorship and the denial of free speech to those they deem dangerous, whether that involves wars, rigged elections, foreign coups, COVID-19, vaccinations, or the lies of the corporate media themselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n There is no way I can summarize this article, so I am asking you to please follow the link and read the entire article.<\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n Robert Kennedy, Jr., by name and dedication to truth seeking, conjures up his father\u2019s ghost, the last politician who, because of his vast support across racial and class divides, could have united the country and tamed the power of the CIA to control the narrative that has allowed for the plundering of the world and the country for the wealthy overlords.<\/strong><\/p>\n So they killed him.<\/strong><\/p>\n There is a reason Noam Chomsky is an exemplar for Hedges, Greenwald, and Taibbi.\u00a0 He controls the can opener for so many. He has set the parameters for what is considered acceptable to be considered a serious journalist or intellectual.\u00a0 The assassinations of the Kennedys, 9\/11, or a questioning of the official Covid-19 story are not among them, and so they are eschewed.<\/strong><\/p>\n To denounce censorship, as they have done, is admirable. But now Greenwald, Taibbi, and Hedges need go up to the forbidden gate with the sign that says \u2013 \u201cThis far and no further\u201d<\/u><\/em> \u2013 and jump over it.\u00a0 That\u2019s where the true stories lie.\u00a0 That\u2019s when they\u2019ll see the worms squirm.<\/strong><\/p>\n If we don’t limit the actions of the Intelligence Community and their ability to control the news Americans actually receive, we will lose our republic.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A friend sent me a link to the article below along with the following note: Since Obama political appointees have infiltrated the Intelligence Community, it has gone political.\u00a0\u00a0 No one before Obama put political appointees there.\u00a0 For example, in 2012 … Continue reading
