The CIA and FBI are a Waste of Money: Where there is danger and disruption, they are usually the root cause

It’s most apparent when we hear about stories regarding the various three lettered agencies of American intelligence and how they deal with UFO sightings that all those branches of government have little to no respect for the American Constitution and that it’s time for us to consider getting rid of them altogether. The sad truth is that the big enemies we face are not world powers intent on our destruction, like China. The real terrors we have are in our government forces who purposely use terrifying conditions to justify their grabs for power. That was never clearer than when President Trump went to North Korea to set foot there and expose the scam. If the goal was to bring peace to the world by reaching out and making friends, Trump got caught solving the problem, with North Korea, with Russia, and other places. But what we learned was that many of these threats were creations of our own intelligence departments provoked so to move our nation politically into a direction they desired, such as in the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, which was created essentially because the FBI and CIA didn’t talk and share information as they should have before 9/11.   Regardless of what conspiracy theory you might hear on the matter, government failed us with 9/11, and our reaction to it was to make the government bigger and more powerful, intruding into our lives even more. Well, if they failed the first time, what made anybody think they would do better if there were more of it? We have since learned a lot about our government, and after the first four years of President Trump and the obvious activism by the FBI to remove him from the White House, which is something they started as soon as the election was over, we can no longer claim innocence on the matter.   It’s time to admit to ourselves that our own CIA, FBI, NSA, and many other security agencies in America are more dangerous than the threats they pose to protect us from.  

I didn’t always not trust law enforcement. For many years I wore a hat that proudly displayed the CIA logo, and I wanted to believe in them. Yet too many times over the years, my personal experience with law enforcement has shown me that they are all prone to real human problems. They allow the drug trade to flourish because there is money for them. And power. They fail as people and cheat on their wives, using their power as agents of authority to provoke sexual encounters. They are prone to bribes, laziness, and corruption of all kinds, even the best of them. I think we need law enforcement in our society; we can’t have anarchy. But we also must have checks on their power, and the bigger they are, the more secretive they are, and the more dangerous they are because they are prone to all the corruption that other people are. But they have authority over our lives, unconstitutional authority that they frequently violate and shouldn’t have. My opinion about the FBI, the CIA, and others are based on watching them fail over time. I wanted to like them, but they have let me down a lot over the years, and it’s not a gleeful admission to say that they should be defunded and dismantled.

In many cases, these law enforcement agencies are much more dangerous than the enemies they are supposed to protect us from. We don’t need government agencies that kill American presidents, as the classified documents regarding Kennedy’s assassination clearly indicate. We don’t need a corrupt legal system driven by those same CIA types who ran Nixon out of office, which we now know was a complete political hit job no longer in the category of conspiracy. If the same criteria were applied to Barack Obama, for instance, he would never have been president the first time. And Biden would have never made it to the campaign trail. Time and history have not been on their side at the CIA and FBI. They aren’t that old, and their history has been terrible from the start. Then they were caught in a manipulative coup to get rid of Trump, which is now well-chronicled. If they don’t respect the voters, then who do they respect? Who are they working for?

When there are investigations into UFOs, they are always at the center of the conspiracy theories, the Constitutional violations of people’s personal rights. Suddenly the Constitution is thrown out, and national security is stamping all over people’s Bills of Rights, and suddenly law enforcement is kicking down people’s doors, putting them in quarantine, and concealing information. If a UFO crashes in your back yard, you don’t lose your rights to property and liberty.  But the way our military treats the matter, you never had any rights, unless they grant it like some fat king sitting on a thrown.  It didn’t just happen in Roswell, New Mexico. It happened in Missouri with a crash there. It happened over Los Angeles. It happened over Washington D.C. It has happened all over the place, and it’s quite evident in hindsight that we’ve had all the wrong people investigating these things and publishing all the wrong results. We don’t have these government agencies to be worse than the villains themselves. And when they get involved in killing off and destroying Presidents that voters popularly picked, we have a big problem. 

Just this year, we learned the 51 intelligence agency personalities who said that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation lied to us. These were supposedly some of the most respected members of American intelligence. And we learned that Peter Stzrok and his lover Lisa Page were not unusual in their hatred of Trump and the voters who picked him. There was a culture, and there still is with Christopher Wray, of contempt for the American people in the FBI who think they are a fourth branch of an unelected government. And they believe they have power over the American people the way a king would over his subjects. They think they know better than we do and that they’ll decide what we know and when we know it for our own good.

Meanwhile, they attack political rivals and violate Constitutional protections without a second thought if they think they can get away with it. I don’t think there are forces anywhere on earth that are more dangerous than the FBI and CIA. No hostile country. Why has the CIA been so involved in the drug trade with Mexico? We know this has been a problem since before Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas. We could go on and on with this. The bottom line is that American intelligence cannot be trusted, they have a history of not representing American values, but they fight for a globalist agenda, and they are too big and do entirely too much damage. And the real threats to America don’t come from Russia or North Korea.   Our government helps those enemies look much more dangerous than they really are, so we cleave to the CIA and FBI for protection. When most of the time, they are the cause of the original problem. We’ve certainly given them a chance to do the right things. But they have purposely behaved in a way that violated our trust. Much of their power is only a century old; from what we’ve seen, it’s time to scrap them altogether. I would go so far as to say they are worthless.   They don’t make America safer. They are the cause of most of the dangers, and it’s time to admit it to ourselves and to stop feeding that monster with more wasted tax money. They have made a mess of America, and it’s time to clean it up.

The Nixon Conspiracy: It’s much worse now, assassinate the individual to preserve the Beltway

After reading The Nixon Conspiracy, by Geoff Shepard, coming up on the 50th anniversary of Watergate, it is evident that Richard Nixon was a very good man, an excellent president, and that the world owes him an apology. Shepard in 2018 was able to unseal documents that showed the prosecution’s roadmap against President Nixon, which was presented to the Grand Jury at the time, was 100% a political hit. It took him 50 years of research as an original defense team member to gather all the evidence to show it. You might recall that Hillary Clinton was part of the prosecution as a young person then. This case brewed in Shepard all these years as he has spent his life trying to prove that Nixon was innocent and what he found out was that the prosecution really had nothing in their prosecution road map that was the truth. It turned out to be very similar to the modern-day Russian Dossier that Democrats funded; it was wholly made up and withheld from the defense during the time of the trials that put several Watergate conspirators in jail for a bit, G. Gordon Liddy, Howard Hunt, some ex-CIA Cubans, and John Dean. He later flipped his story to the prosecution angle once he realized that the whole thing was a political hit on Nixon that none of them would survive. The cover-up always answered the pressure from the media and a prosecution that conspired with the judges in the case to abandon all due process, particularly the 5th and 6th amendments, and destroy a popularly picked president.  Nixon wasn’t one of them, he was an outsider, and even Republicans wanted him out. So, they used the system to get him out and bring untold destruction to our country, which has never really recovered. 

This is relevant to our present circumstances because we just watched all this happen to President Trump, except on steroids. We did with the Washington D.C. Beltway culture to empower all the malcontents in the same way Vladimir Putin was empowered after invading Crimea to invade Ukraine presently because nobody had responded to him with force when it happened the first time. Putin crossed the red line, and nobody punched him in the face. So, of course, he made more extensive plans for the future, which we see playing out today. I did read Bill Bar’s new book, One Damn Thing After Another, this week and found it wholly unremarkable except for the revelation of what a Beltway type of person thinks, which is how many of the prosecutors and judges got pulled into the conspiracy against Nixon, then Trump in the context of the three branches of government wanting to assassinate the presidency out of sheer resentment by the type of person the people of the country picked to sit there. Barr has a certain arrogance, a belief that the system is more significant than any individual, and a hatred for what the individual represents to the system they have served their whole lives. But more than that, they hate the people who are individuals out there in flyover country who don’t respect their power in Washington. That, in essence, was what Watergate was all about. After the killing of the Kennedys, a new kind of political hit became the latest fashion. And the playbook was tried out on Nixon. It was successful. So it was then applied for the next 50 years culminating in a four-year period of two impeachments, a phony Russia, Russia, Russia investigation against Trump using the exact same methods. And when none of that worked, they pulled the nuclear option with Covid to change laws and rig the election. Bill Barr clearly knows that’s what happened, but like John Dean before him, Barr altered his story to preserve the system at the expense of the individual. Trump needed to be brought down to protect their system at all costs. 

But that system doesn’t serve the people; it serves the Beltway. And when we elect presidents that they don’t like as the popular majority in the nation under the electoral system, the system has created ways to terminate that action because they control the rules and regulations of our land and in the case of the declassified documents from Watergate unsealed in 2018 finally, we see that the prosecution made up the entire narrative and that Judge John Sirica conspired with the prosecution ahead of all court dates to seal the deal before the deal was ever presented. Only so many years later, after some of these people have died away or retired into oblivion, can we see things clearly. And by now, the media has hammered this story into the public consciousness. When people think of Nixon and the Republicans, they think of corruption. The Washington Post reporters who broke this story with the help of Deep Throat, who drove the narrative in public, Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, saw themselves as the fourth branch of government, co-equal. True or not, they would bring down President Nixon and change how the public felt about him. Nixon, a good guy, tried to play fair, but the game wasn’t fair. For him, it was like playing Battleship. The media and the prosecution would send a missile his way, and he blindly had to figure out where it was coming from on the board on the other side. Is it G1 or M24? Eventually, as the impeachment trial kicked into gear in the House, Nixon felt it would be better for America if he resigned. He wasn’t sure if his people had actually screwed up, so he didn’t see any way out of it. He had his share of Bill Barr lawyers telling him to preserve the system at the expense of the individual, so Nixon resigned. He shouldn’t have. He should have fought it out. But that is hindsight talking. He wouldn’t have known just how deeply corrupt the system had been against him. Only 50 years of investigation would reveal that. 

Geoff Shepard has written the most important book on Watergate that has ever been done. All the movies, other books, and countless hours of commentary have been wrong. Just as they turned out to be one-sided against Trump. We are seeing with Watergate assassinations against the people’s right to pick their Executive Office representative. They did it to Nixon. They actually tried to do it with Reagan. Still, after he actually took a bullet from Hinckley in his first term, the Beltway backed off, not wanting to be associated with further public relations issues. Reagan was a skillful actor, and they feared his ability to communicate. But they certainly did it to Bush, who complied like a loser. And Trump was not an option for them; he never was. They were going to teach us all a lesson for voting for him in the first place. And those people are still very much in power. And they won’t give that power up willingly. It will have to be forced from them in very uncomfortable ways. But at least now we know. Geoff Shepard has written the paramount book of the Watergate experience and showed the nation just what a good president Nixon had always been. But the system was too corrupt for him and for the people who picked him. And what we now know is that system is much worse now than it was in Nixon’s day. The corruption now is much, much worse.
