    Sounds an awful lot like they’re leaving the backdoor unlocked and unsupervised, knowing someone is going to try something, which they’ll then turn around and use as justification for fucking with the electoral process, or just calling them off entirely.

    Don’t need actual intelligence when the pedo regime just makes shit up based on protecting their pedo leader.

    They were ousted for a simple reason: Each was involved in the investigation of President Donald Trump’s alleged retention of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

    And like the CI-12 unit, several senior officials were ousted or reassigned because of their involvement in Trump-related investigations, sources say. The removals have cost the Justice Department and FBI decades of combined experience in identifying the types of threats that sources say could appear in the wake of Operation Epic Fury.

      Totally normal, to fire all your good investigators because they were investigating the President’s many crimes, and find you’re left with no good investigators.

    This is what accepting “unknown unknowns” as justification for war 20+ years ago would always inevitably lead to…

    Intentional ignorance of terrorist activities because any attack would be worth the justification to go to war.

    terrorism that ADL gets to label antisemitic gets the ADL platformed to tell us why Israel should rule the US and take all of its money. Similarly, 9/11 did not weaken the US empire or its militarized hatred potential, and in fact the hate got platformed to be essential to the US empire.

    What if something happpens in American soil? This is really dangerous. Do they want a reason for martial law or 9/11 unity? But on what cost?

      I’m reasonably confident that’s precisely what their plan is, and they’ll use it as a justification to call off the elections or something similarly insane.

      At the cost of a few thousand American peasants’ lives and one cancelled midterm election. It’s a sacrifice Trump’s prepared to make.

        People need to start to write to representatives about this so they start to make this a big deal, before anything happens.

        I hope nothing happens but it’s really scary how they are gutting counter terrorism. Scary stuff

          Writing to people is one option, but if the fucked-over of America could coordinate, they could reverse the country’s course in a weekend.

            I doubt. Trump makes everything an emergency. Anything people do, will be a reason for emergency declaration and no midterms… just because.

            Also I bet they will infiltrate the left and use the same style Gaza BS to convince people to not vote

    Something still doesn’t fully add up in all this. Krasnov is obviously still in the pocket of Putin, so what is Putin’s game here with respect to Venezuela and Iran?

    Do we even know Ayatollah is actually dead? What’s going on with Maduro?

      1. Grab all the Venezuelan oil first to protect the USA from rising oil prices at home, then
      2. fuck up the middle east, putting prices through the roof and disrupting oil supply to China and Europe, and
      3. wait for everyone to come begging for American and Russian oil?

      Take this with a huge pinch of salt. I’m just playing along here. I don’t know whether this is at all plausible.
