Orange coloured narcisoidal egomaniac is destroying CIA, according to seasoned CIA's own professionals. Above mentioned guy has some perceived grievances towards the institution and he started firing it's leaders, now most insiders are seeing writing on the wall and are pre-emptively leaving. CIA is drifting towards becoming propaganda outlet, instead of being efficient information collection machine.

Likely another case of TDS, but haven't you noticed?...Across the board, everything is being destroyed, from our institutions to social norms...

I admit to only briefly skimming that video as I have the attention span of a fly but it reminded me of John Kiriakou. He's the whistleblower that objected to 'enhanced interrogation techniques' in Guantanamo Bay and he served jail time for it.

The relative merits of that are not why I bring it up. Credentials do not necessarily credibility make, that's why. He was a CIA officer with an extensive background and his book details some of it. What it also details, at least to me, is that he was unable to keep his personal life and opinions from negatively affecting his job. Lately I've seen him as an authoritative talking head on TV expounding literal nonsense about US Navy operations for which he has zero background yet his CIA career is presented to make it sound as if it does.

You read Billy Waugh's book Hunting the Jackal: A Special Forces and CIA Ground Soldier's Fifty-Year Career Hunting America's Enemies he is only commenting on his own extraordinary experiences and it is devoid of his personal opinions. Kiriakou is a self important piker by comparison and Waugh would beat him up for his milk money.

Remember the road flares tied to balloons UFO some years back in northern New Jersey? I saw several 'experts' with military backgrounds on TV laying out their credentials and then proceeding to say how this is 'technology not of this world'. Credentials aside these are just opinions that may or may not necessarily be more informed because of them.

I have a few more days of enforced idleness, I may have a look at it later.

What's worse it's media driven and deliberate.

A hundred plus years ago the big problems in the US were counterfeiting and anarchists. Well, we solved one of those problems but the other seems to be cyclic.

Yeah, he was an operative in whose line of work life was literally on the line during working hours. Its not like he was doing some desk job. Plus he was doing long hours, trying to advance his carrier and all of that. Its not unusual at all that his marriage was strained.

His found out his wife cheated on him and he got into a traffic accident shortly thereafter where he lost his temper belted a local, in Greece I think. Blew his cover and created a diplomatic incident. I can sympathize but professional detachment is mandatory and he blew it. From what I read in his book the CIA like many large organizations is rife with cliques and personalities.

Absolutely nothing in his career gave him the slightest familiarity about US carrier operations and yet I saw him several times spewing gibberish about them wrapped in the guise of CIA expert. The casual viewer just assumes he has some special knowledge. Hell, based on what I heard I probably know more about them and I am just a nitwit. There's one of those pesky credentials again feigning expertise in an area he has none.

Billy Waugh on the other hand, was a CIA officer and former special operator that hunted Carlos the Jackal who knew how to be invisible under any circumstances, even if he was pissed about something.
 
She went to Home Depot to buy bomb making materials? What aisle is that stuff in? One thing's for certain - no HD employee assisted her, maybe she used the app. What a moron.

I don't want to see anyone hurt but have to admit administering a high colonic to the state legislature has a certain fascination.


NY woman arrested in ISIS-inspired plot to bomb state Capitol was once a ‘little girl waving the American flag after 9/11’

An ISIS-inspired New Yorker who plotted to bomb the state Capitol in Albany was once a “little girl waving the American flag after 9/11” — before she turned to terrorism and started celebrating the deadly attacks.

Jessica Bowie, 35, was arrested in Albany on Wednesday after the FBI foiled her alleged diabolical plan to place a bomb in a DoorDash food delivery bag at the Capitol and “destroy as much of the building as possible,” the feds wrote in a criminal complaint.

Jessica Bowie, 35, who allegedly planned a deadly ISIS-inspired attack on the New York State Capitol in Albany, was allegedly once a “little girl waving an American flag after 9/11.”
Bowie – who became radicalized after converting to Islam five years ago and was going by the Islamic name “Aisha Saif” — met with two FBI informants on the day she was captured, inside a car where she made the chilling admission that she was no longer the same person who once adored the United States.

“She went from a little girl waving an American flag after 9/11 to now having stickers of the falling towers,” Bowie eerily told one informant, according to the complaint.

She was just 10 years old when the World Trade Center fell in 2001.

In the video and audio-recordings from Wednesday, Bowie also handed $150 in cash to the same informant to purchase a handgun — which was actually inert — a magazine and ammunition.

The informant showed Bowie an inert explosive device that was built using components she purchased from a Home Depot on Aug. 5, while wearing a burqa.

The wannabe terrorist then gave the informant $200 to donate to a bombmaker to fund the construction of more explosive devices — stating she “wished she could fund a big operation,” the complaint said.

If her roommate accidentally discovered the bomb components, Bowie coldly told the informant she “would have to kill the roommate quietly,” emphasizing she “would have to cut her.”

After exiting the vehicle with the firearm and the phony explosive, she was swiftly cuffed by the FBI — who also found knives on her and a “handwritten bayah,” or an oath of allegiance to ISIS.

Authorities had tracked her for five weeks before the planned massacre — in which she allegedly plotted to “take out at least half” of the 200 people inside the state Legislature building.

“I want to destroy as much of the building as possible and kill the senators while they are meeting,” she separately messaged an informant on July 29.

“I want them to lose a lot of important documents as well.”

She had monitored the Capitol for weeks, taking pictures from various vantage points including an “observation hall nearby,” according to the complaint.

After she pulled off the attack, the ISIS-inspired militant was ready to escape to Syria, according to the feds.

And if her plot was successful, Bowie told an informant on Aug. 5 she could return to the US to plot more attacks — such as “New Year’s Eve in Times Square,” and “all kinds of good stuff that could be done in the future,” the complaint said.

It is not clear what led her to affiliate with Islamic extremists, but federal authorities on Thursday said the Schenectady resident had become radicalized online — and allegedly created several profiles on social platforms to “espouse anti-American messages.”

An account linked to her posted “Praise be to Allah for September 11th” on May 28, according to the complaint.

What do you think? Post a comment.
“She told a source that she went from a little girl waving the American flag after 9/11 to now having stickers of the fallen towers. Folks, let that sink in,” FBI Special Agent in Charge at the Albany Field Office, Craig L. Tremaroli, told reporters at a press conference Thursday.

“Again, Ms. Bowie didn’t just want to kill lawmakers; she wanted a complete destruction of our government.”
 

Trump's DHS boss says investigation confirmed Ilhan Omar DID marry brother, warns of deportation​

Trump's top immigration official claims an internal investigation found that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar 'married her brother' and could be facing deportation.

'We know that she married her brother to try to bring him into the United States,' Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said of the Minnesota Democrat. 'We know he lives now in London.'

He was speaking about the second man Omar married, who the Daily Mail has previously reported is Ahmed Elmi. Both are originally from Somalia.

She allegedly was still married to her first husband, Ahmed Hirsi, at the time of the second marriage, the congresswoman has told friends who relayed the account to the Daily Mail.

Omar has long denied the allegations. She has since remarried a third time and is wed to political consultant Tim Mynett.
