“The Spy Who Failed

“Oleg Smolenkov’s role as a CIA asset and the use of his data by the director of the CIA to cast doubt over the 2016 U.S. presidential election”

Were it not so powerful militarily and financially, the United States would be the laughingstock of the world.

This entire business about a CIA Russian spy is just another avenue travelled in America’s nonstop Russophobia lunatic wanderings.

The DNC material was not hacked as a number of true experts have told us, including the key one now languishing in a British prison.

Putin had no plan because nothing ever happened.

Nothing.

And I think we’ve all seen that when Putin plans something, it happens.

The article is interesting for its laying out of elaborate security procedures – kind of a high-level, almost academic “police procedural” – but I do feel in the end it is not that helpful, much as I respect Scott Ritter expertise.

When nothing has happened, it does seem a bit odd to scrutinize every piece of fiber and bit of dust and to construct a massive scenario of “what ifs.”

Meanwhile, the murder of Seth Rich, a genuine and meaningful event, goes virtually uninvestigated.

No wonder you are in so much trouble, America, and no wonder you make so much trouble for others.

Sorry, but “Big Intelligence” is always a failure, and on many levels.

It is not a matter of any “clods.”

It is a matter of the very nature of the institution and the nature of the people who use its output.

The CIA only has a good record at doing bad things.

I refer to its operations side and the havoc and violence they have released through the decades.

They are an army of richly-equipped thugs without uniforms, interfering in the business of others, “lying, cheating, and stealing.”

The true intelligence gathering and evaluating side of things fails and always has to a great extent.
