COMMENT ON AN ARTICLE BY JOHN KIRIAKOU IN CONSORTIUM NEWS
“What was this CIA Officer [White House Whistleblower] Thinking?
“Given Langley’s intolerance for whistleblowing, the current case now in the headlines has a couple of curious features”
I guess I'm not greatly surprised to learn that a secretive organization, busy with the dirty work of empire, doesn't really like having whistleblowers around, despite its professing otherwise and having formal protocols and procedures in place for dealing with them.
“Omerta” must be a strict code just as surely as it is for that other (private enterprise) American mafia.
I remain unconvinced that CIA has any genuine interest in bringing down Trump, which is, of course, what they would have been doing if the still anonymous whistleblower, as hinted at, was a deliberate CIA plant in the White House.
I’m open to being convinced otherwise, but I just do not see a motive.
Trump appears to do the establishment's bidding in almost all matters.
In America's offshore branch establishment, Israel, a key associate in many CIA works, Trump could not be more popular.
Trump carries right on with all the violent projects across the planet.
What would be the CIA’s motivation for bringing him down?
And for any major Federal agency, especially one so sensitive in nature as CIA, to team up with the interests of just one of the two political parties, the Democrats, does seem an extremely risky thing to do. It isn’t plausible to my mind.
It was different when Obama was still president, as all the security agencies owe some allegiance to the President.
I think Obama, himself an immensely secretive man, had quite a few operations against Trump’s election underway. He certainly had the CIA Director publicly speaking against Trump. Since when do CIA Directors, on their own, do that? And on the basis of a custom-manufactured dossier from a former MI6 agent with all kinds of smarmy American contacts?
After all, how many times has CIA worked to manipulate and bend facts to give a sitting President supporting "evidence" for something that he, or they, wanted to do abroad? The invasion of Iraq was a glaring example of that. The various recruited and supplied mercenary groups – al Nusra, the White Helmets, ISIS - working against the government of Syria, pretending to be independent organizations or extreme jihadi types, are another.
