“Two Stories Signal
Trump's No Longer Running the Show”
Two stories?
Sorry, but there is a mountain of evidence, both on the
macro-level of policies and pursuits abroad and on the micro-level of personal
behavior and the abrupt changing of the staff around him.
There was a turning point with the phony
Clinton-CIA-corporate press-FBI Russian-influence attacks.
I can't pinpoint the day, but it is clear that there was a
point where Trump completely buckled. Even his speech and communicating
patterns have changed quite noticeably.
It was truly cowardly of him, but then these people, especially
the CIA, can create an immense amount of difficulty for you if they are so
motivated.
And they can be very intimidating, I'm sure. After all, they
kill and overthrow and corrupt abroad, and they do not have to ever even
testify truthfully as to what they've done. This was made clear by past
Director Helms after the Kennedy assassination.
CIA resembles a huge gang of psychopathic frat boys with
unlimited resources to play dirty tricks. And with so many decades of
essentially free run, they have absorbed a set of attitudes and ethics that
ordinary people simply cannot understand.
After all, the CIA's real business abroad - as an immensely
well-financed covert army serving America's establishment in everything from
corrupting foreign elections, arranging coups, disrupting economies, and even
training mercenaries - gives them the tools and resources and the inclination
to apply the same set of tricks at home.
I don't know why anyone would think otherwise.
A free society simply cannot have such an institution. It is
a violation of every principle of democracy, human rights, and just plain
ethics.
Genuine information collection abroad is fine, but that has
long been only a small part of what CIA does. The operations side of the
institution is overwhelmingly dominant, almost using the information side of
the house as a cover story.
Again, they serve the corporate and institutional interests
of a world empire, and you cannot have both a world empire and a decent society
at home. It just cannot be, and you have the evidence right before your eyes,
but, as a wise man said, there are none so blind as those who will not see.
A footnote: George Bush Pere, so far as we know, was the
first actual CIA President. He was a lifelong “made man” going back to activities
during the Kennedy years around Cuba. They don’t name the headquarters building
after you just because you served a brief two-year term as Director, and his
name actually is contained in one obscure document turned up after the Kennedy
assassination.
I suspect, for many reasons, Obama was the second “made man”
President. His whole personality - with an intense embrace of secrecy and
hatred of leaks - and much about his resume – unexplained gaps and
irregularities in his life - suggests the possibility.
There is the narcissistic personality, too, frequently
crossing over into psychopathy, as with the murder of Gadhafi and destruction
of Libya, the filthy program of murder and destruction in Syria, and his
support for an industrial scale hi-tech extrajudicial killing program which
just happens to be run by CIA.
