It was headed by William J. (&#8220;Wild Bill&#8221;) Donovan. It was a strategic part of the Allied war effort. In one instance, a group of agents stopped the German U-boats from sinking the oil tankers as they were leaving Venezuela to supply allied troops with oil. The agents found the person with the shortwave radio who was telling the U-Boats when the tankers were leaving port. The OSS was an important part of the war effort. The OSS was the root of what is now the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Unfortunately it does not seem as though the patriotism and devotion to America and its principles of government that was part of the OSS has carried over to the CIA.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, The Gateway Pundit posted two articles about the latest videotapes released by investigative reporter James O&#8217;Keefe. The first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2024\/05\/breaking-james-okeefe-releases-undercover-video-cia-contractor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">article<\/a> deals with the videotape, and the second <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2024\/05\/breaking-rep-matt-gaetz-calls-investigation-bombshell-okeefe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">article<\/a> deals with the reaction to the videotape by some in Congress. Basically, the videotape is of a CIA operative saying that the CIA intentionally withheld information from President Trump during the Trump administration. The CIA has responded to the videotape by claiming the agent is lying. Based on the past behavior of the CIA, we can all draw our own conclusions. The actual video is included in both articles.<\/p>\n<p>The first article reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Amjad (Amjad Fseisi, a project manager working in Cyber Operations for the CIA with top-secret security clearance) reveals to OMG\u2019s Undercover American Swiper that intel agencies not only kept intelligence information from a sitting United States President and Commander-In-Chief, they also used FISA to spy on President Trump and his team and are still monitoring President Trump according to Amjad who says, \u201cWe monitor everything.\u201d Amjad adds \u201cwe also have people that monitor his ex-wife. He likes to use burner phones\u201d \u2013 information only an insider with access to highly sensitive information would state.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u201cWe steal it [information]\u201d and \u201cWe hack other countries just like that,\u201d Amjad, who states he currently works on the CIA\u2019s China Mission Center, explains how intel agencies obtain information. He also describes a broken intelligence system where \u201cWe don\u2019t share information across agencies\u201d because the CIA is \u201cvery reluctant\u201d to share information with the \u201ccareless\u201d NSA.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>O\u2019Keefe Media Group\u2019s bombshell undercover footage supports earlier reports by investigative journalists Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi, and Alex Gutentag that revealed how the American intelligence community illegally ran a spy operation against then-candidate Trump\u2019s presidential campaign in 2016 and illegally acquired intelligence that was later used to justify the Federal Bureau of Investigation (@FBI) official probe, \u201cCrossfire Hurricane,\u201d which in turn led to Special Counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s investigation that ultimately did not find evidence of Russia collusion by the 2016 Trump campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Contractors like Fseisi hold the duty to withhold sharing confidential or national security information. In denying his statements, Fseisi may have realized he could be held liable for violating internal agency provisions and federal laws like the Executive Agency ethics provisions, which restrict what he may share with others outside of his contracted-to agency. Additionally, any government worker or agency head who withheld information from a superior (i.e. President Trump) may violate: (a) obstruction of justice by deception (18 USC 1512); (b) conspiracy to obstruct (18 USC 371); and false statements (18 USC 1001). Agency regulations may also provide offenses related to insubordination, reflecting poorly on the agency in public, or misrepresentation or dishonesty.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The second article reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Conservative Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) isn\u2019t wasting any time getting to the bottom of this very serious and disturbing story. Rep. Gaetz has already formally called on the Weaponization Subcommittee to IMMEDIATELY launch an investigation into the BOMBSHELL report by James O\u2019Keefe\u2019s OMG Media Group.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Amjad claims that the CIA withheld information because they considered President Trump a &#8216;Russian asset.&#8217; That was not their decision to make. Have they considered the Chinese money flowing into the Biden family where there is NO product or service involved?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was formed under President Franklin Roosevelt during World War II.
