"The world's most powerful investment bank [Goldman Sachs] is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money." - Matt Taibbi

Fuck anyone who doesn't credit this guy as one hell of a phrase turner.

Technically gifted writer?

Brennan was appointed by Obama. The rank and file employees of both the CIA and FBI tend to be very conservative.

 

[Bendintheriver]

The CIA is the actual power in charge behind the scenes. Get rid of it.

What’s hilarious is that if we allowed the employees of the CIA and FBI to elect our presidents it would be nothing but an endless stream of Republicans. These are two of the most conservative departments our government has. But somehow they are a huge problem now that Trump is in office. Odd.

You have no clue what in the hell you are talking about. The lifer's in the CIA and FBI are anything but Republican. You can't name one fed department that is majority Rep.

If you don't know what you are talking about, don't talk.

I must say, that was a fascinating essayhttps://taibbi.substack.com/p/were-in-a-permanent-coup

Bad article, just more deep state tinfoil hat BS

We should trust the government and do what they say

Authoritarian follower

Congress oversees the IC

If you think conspiracies are everywhere, you'll see them everywhere

If you cant address the obvious conspiracy you're part of the problem

Got a link to show your point? I know two retired FBI. Both conservative. I have met several current FBI. All conservative. I have never met a cia agent to my knowledge. That's a small sample. But I'm curious where you get the facts that the FBI and cia agents are anything but republican.

All of them? No. A majority? Oh hell yes. Now they may not be Trumpist Republicans because they tend to be very intelligent.

I think you're working off a template that's over 30 years old. While it was true 30 years ago, it's no longer the case. And upper management has been dominated by Rats and the clearest way to advance in both institutions has been to parrot the left's agenda.

Trump just needs more tim to get his guys in there POTD.

Trump doesn't appoint the entire rank and file Kunt.

Nope. Just like with cops, the personality type that leads someone to be conservative also leads them to be CIA/FBI. Unlike cops however they tend to be very smart. Both institutions are also incredibly incestuous. If mom or dad are in the FBI/CIA their kids stand a much greater chance following them (likely taking their political ideology with them).

We are seeing for the first time ever a major distrust of the FBI/CIA from the right and to a similar degree a blind trust from the left. That’s partisan politics for you.

You mean "conservatives" like Valerie Plame and Peter Strokz and Lisa Page?

 

[RaceBannon]

The FBI CIA complex in DC isn't the rank and file

 

[SFGbob]

Do you think Page and Strokz would have behaved in the manner they did if the dominate culture they were operating in was Conservative? Do you think they would have been as open with their contempt for half of the American public if the worked in an environment that didn't at least wink and agree with them?

And by open contempt he means private text messages between the two...hell they had open contempt for Dems as well in those text messages. Strokz was behind the October 16 Hillary letter that may have decided the election...

There are plenty of Rs and Ds in every agency and they vary a bit depending upon which party is in power because of appointments. But as someone who works with the feds frequently, what is most pronounced is the attitude carried by many fed employees that reveals their political underpinnings. I would sum it up this way: Right leaning, law and order types see their work as carrying out a mission. Left leaning, societal steering, moral relevance types see their work as a good public job with great benefits and opportunities for advancement.

Do with that information whatever you wish.
