The CIA are cool now, guys.

in #politics6 years ago

According to Wolf of Wall Street actor and Investigate Russia propagandist Rob Reiner 'when you libel James Clapper and John Brennan you libel America'.

John Brennan famously oversaw a CIA campaign of torturing innocent men in Guantanamo and James Clapper lied to Congress about the mass interception of communications by the NSA in the wake of the Snowden revelations. Hashtag Resistance nutcases are putting unelected intelligence agents on a pedestal and worshipping them in the hope that they might oust Trump.

Trump will be gone in a few years, but the CIA and the NSA will be surveilling innocent people's data, overthrowing democracies that the US doesn't like and supporting the military-industrial complex long into the future with 'dedicated servicemen' like Clapper at the helm.

It is the ultimate Faustian bargain - replacing a undoubtable evil in Trump with an even worse, less transparent and more ruthless force in the elected US intelligence bureaus that have plagued the world for so long.

Reiner should be careful what he wishes for.

Sort:  

HAHAHAHAHAHA, the CIA that is known for toppling heads of state through assassination, black sites and torture would NEVER lie. No no no no, they the good bois.

What a fucking joke.

Trump is not my favorite and never will be,but at least he is blunt which makes him more transparent than his predecessors.Like when he said "we should just take their oil",instead of " let's bring them Democracy!' And people were like "nobody said before we are there for profit!!"

Trump is the old rusty chainsaw you have to use to cut a tree down -- he's not the best, smartest or cleanest tool, but he's the only one we have that can tear the thing up.

You mean he is someone who is going against the establishment?

to a certain extent, while at the same time embroiled in it. he's a divisive character.

Fair point. I wouldn't say he is any better or worse than his predecessors. They are all evil.

What do you think who was the last "not evil" president?

Probably Eisenhower, as he warned against the burgeoning military-industrial complex.
