John Ratcliffe has officially been confirmed by the Senate as the new director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

On Thursday, the Senate confirmed Ratcliffe in a 74-25 vote.

Prior to becoming the incoming director of the CIA, Ratcliffe was a former congressman from Texas.

During the last four months of Trump’s first term, he also served as the director of National Intelligence. He was confirmed to that role in a narrow vote in the Senate of 49-to-44.

His previous role is now being sought by Democrat-turned-Republican Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.

John Ratcliffe is the second individual to be confirmed by the Senate since President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Prior to his confirmation, Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) was confirmed and sworn in as Secretary of State.

Did the CIA bring an ISIS RADICAL into the United States?!

The FBI has arrested a man from Afghanistan for planning an ISIS-linked Election Day attack on Americans. To make matters worse, he was a security guard for the CIA back in Afghanistan and was brought here by our government after its botched withdrawal. So, what happened here? Was he radicalized before or after we brought him here? The government has yet to clarify, so Glenn asks former Navy SEAL and "Off Leash" host Erik Prince for his take: "That's the first of many, I believe..."

EX-CIA OFFICER: Larry Johnson~ NATO’ Nightmare; North Korea Backs up Russia with 1 Million Missiles & Nuclear Warhead

Larry Johnson: NATO's Nightmare: North Korea Backups Russia with 1 Million Missiles & Nuclear Warhead. In this explosive analysis, former CIA officer Larry Johnson delves into the alarming scenario of North Korea potentially supporting Russia with an unprecedented arsenal of one million missiles and nuclear warheads. This development presents a formidable challenge to NATO and could significantly shift the balance of power in global geopolitics. Johnson examined the implications of such a massive militaristic alignment, exploring how North Korea’s involvement could enhance Russian military capabilities, especially in the context of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. He assesses the strategic motivations behind North Korea’s decision to back Russia and the potential consequences for NATO’s security posture. Furthermore, Johnson discusses the logistical and strategic challenges of integrating North Korean military assets with Russian forces, analyzing the potential effectiveness and the geopolitical signals it sends to the West. He also considered diplomatic repercussions, including how this alliance could complicate relations between major powers and the United Nations' response. This insightful video is crucial for understanding the broader implications of North Korea’s involvement in supporting Russia, analyzing potential shifts in international relations, and assessing new threats that could redefine NATO’s strategic calculations.

Here is still more indication of which side this administration is on as if it weren’t obvious.

“Senior CIA official posted a pro-Palestine image on her Facebook page,” by Demetri Sevastopulo and Felicia Schwartz, Financial Times, November 28, 2023:

A top CIA official posted a pro-Palestine image on Facebook two weeks after Hamas attacked Israel, in a rare public political statement by a senior intelligence officer on a war that has sparked dissent within the Biden administration.

The CIA’s associate deputy director for analysis changed her Facebook cover photo on October 21 to an image of a man waving a Palestinian flag that is often used in stories criticizing Israel. The Financial Times has decided not to name her after the intelligence agency expressed concern about her safety.

Posting an overtly political image on a public platform is a very unusual move for a senior intelligence official….

In a separate Facebook post, the senior intelligence official also published a selfie with a sticker saying “Free Palestine” superimposed on the photograph. One person familiar with the image said it was posted to Facebook years ago and long before the current conflict.

“The officer is a career analyst with extensive background in all aspects of the Middle East and this post [of the Palestinian flag] was not intended to express a position on the conflict,” said the person familiar with the situation….

Anthony Fauci, the former chief White House medical advisor, secretly visited the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) headquarters to “influence” the outcome of the agency’s investigation into the origins of COVID-19 during the pandemic, according to the Republican chairman of the House coronavirus panel.

Representative Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), the head of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, uncovered “concerning information” that was retrieved through his panel in a letter he sent to the Inspector General (IG) of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Christi Grimm.

On Tuesday, the letter was publicized.

Allegedly, the letter “lends credence to heightened concerns about the promotion of a false COVID-19 origins narrative by multiple federal government agencies.” 

“According to information gathered by the Select Subcommittee, Dr. Anthony Fauci, then-director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, played a role in the Central Intelligence Agency’s review of the origins of COVID-19,” Wenstrup wrote. “The information provided suggests that Dr. Fauci was escorted into CIA Headquarters — without a record of entry — and participated in the analysis to ‘influence’ the Agency’s review. Our goal is to ensure the scientific investigative process regarding the origins of COVID-19 was fair, impartial, and free of alternative influence.”

It remains unknown who revealed the information to the subcommittee. However, the letter references one individual, Special Agent Brett Rowland, and requests that the IG make him available for a “voluntary transcribed interview.”

The specific date of Fauci’s undisclosed visit to the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, was not mentioned in Wenstrup’s letter to Grimm.

“The American people deserve the truth — to know the origins of the virus and whether there was a concerted effort by public health authorities to suppress the lab leak theory for political or national security purposes,” Wenstrup announced in a statement, requesting information related to the “movements of Dr. Fauci throughout the pandemic.”

“In addition to these documents, we request you make HHS Special Agent Brett Rowland available for a voluntary transcribed interview at a date to be determined,” Wenstrup said. 

Wenstrup searched for documents and communications between the HHS, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, and the U.S. Marshals Service. The sought-after documents were reportedly meant to protect Fauci, and its information also pertains to the former White House coronavirus czar’s admittance or entry into any CIA-owned, operated, or occupied buildings. 

“This allegation is the latest distraction put forth by House Republicans after months wasting taxpayer dollars on seemingly endless conspiracy theories, all while failing to produce any new evidence related to the origins of COVID-19,” a spokesperson for the HHS told Newsweek via email.

In February, reports stated by the Department of Energy and FBI explained that the virus most likely stemmed from a lab leak at Wuhan. However, Fauci, 82, strongly advised that the lab leak theory was “inaccurate.”

“You have to look at the data. I don’t see any data for a lab leak,” Fauci stated. “That doesn’t mean it could not have happened, and that’s the reason I always keep an open mind about that.”

A document request from the coronavirus subcommittee, with an October 10th deadline, requests the following.

  • Any documents authorizing, supporting, or affiliated with Fauci’s claimed movements into any CIA-owned, operated, or occupied buildings between January 1st, 2020, and December 31st, 2022.
  • Any documents and communications between or among contractors and employees of Health and HHS and the IG regarding Fauci’s whereabouts as it pertains to the CIA.
  • Any documents and communications between or among contractors and employees of HHS and the IG and employees or contractors of the U.S. Marshals Service regarding Fauci and the CIA entry.
  • Any documents and communications between or among contractors and employees of HHS and the IG and employees or contractors of the NIH and NIAID.

GUNNING FOR US: Biden admin continues arming more federal agents than members of the U.S. military: Why?

BY J.D. HEYES

SEE: https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-11-22-biden-admin-arming-more-federal-agents-than-military.html;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

(Natural News) In another sign that Barack Obama and his sycophants are really in charge of Joe Biden’s White House, the current administration is rushing to arm as many federal agents as possible, the same way Obama did during his two terms.

The question is, why?

According to a report by The Federalist, the Biden regime appears to be arming more agents than U.S. Marines, adding that “the idea that agencies are empowered to effectively create their own laws and go out and enforce them with armed federal agents should be alarming.”

“Congress authorized $80 billion this year to beef up Internal Revenue Service enforcement and staffing, Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy warned that ‘Democrats’ new army of 87,000 IRS agents will be coming for you.'” wrote Mark Hemingway for the outlet.

“A video quickly went viral racking up millions of views, purporting to show a bunch of clumsy bureaucrats receiving firearms training, prompting alarm that the IRS would be engaged in military-style raids of taxpayers,” he continued.

“The GOP claims were widely attacked as exaggerations — since the video, though from the IRS, didn’t show official agent training — the criticism has shed light on a growing trend: the rapid arming of the federal government.”

Hemingway goes on to cite a report issued in 2021 by the watchdog organization Open The Books, “The Militarization of The U.S. Executive Agencies,” which noted that more than 200,000 federal agents now have been authorized to carry firearms and make arrests, noting that currently, there are only 186,000 Americans serving in the Marine Corps.

“One hundred three executive agencies outside of the Department of Defense spent $2.7 billion on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment between fiscal years 2006 and 2019 (inflation-adjusted),” the report says. “Nearly $1 billion ($944.9 million) was spent between fiscal years 2015 and 2019 alone.”

Open The Books also reported that of all agencies, the Department of Health and Human Resources has 1,300 firearms including a single shotgun, five automatic carbines, and 189 automatic weapons of all kinds. Even NASA has armed agents; the country’s space agency has a SWAT team with all the associated weaponry, along with breaching shotguns, machine guns, and armored vehicles.

Meanwhile, the Environmental Protection Agency now has drones, radar equipment, night vision goggles, and GPS trackers — along with a stockpile of guns.

“A 2018 Government Accountability Office report noted that the IRS had 4,487 guns and 5,062,006 rounds of ammunition in inventory at the end of 2017 — before the enforcement funding boost this year. The IRS did not respond to requests for information, though the IRS’s Criminal Investigation division does put out an annual report detailing basic information such as how many warrants the agency is executing in a given year,” Hemingway wrote.

He added that, according to the watchdog report, more than 100 Executive Branch agencies have investigators who carry firearms, and what’s more, there isn’t an independent authority that monitors or tracks the use of force across all federal agencies.

RealClearInvestigations contacted agencies from the HHS, EPA, and others who refused to provide or said they didn’t have up-to-date stats on how often firearms in their possession were used or details on how armed operations were carried out.

“I would be amazed if that data exists in any way,” Trevor Burrus, a research fellow in constitutional and criminal law at the libertarian Cato Institute, told Hemingway “Over the years of working on this, it’s quite shocking how much they try to not have their stuff tracked on any level.”

Of course, refusing to track the number of firearms or how each agency is using them means that the federal government has plausible deniability for those uses.

What we do know is this: The more guns the government has, the more necessary it becomes for private citizens to protect and defend their Second Amendment rights. Any federal entity pushing gun control while arming up reveals they are intent on becoming tyrannical.

Civil rights sell-out: Biden State Department gives law enforcement, intelligence agencies unrestricted access to personal data on millions of Americans

Image: Civil rights sell-out: Biden State Department gives law enforcement, intelligence agencies unrestricted access to personal data on millions of Americans

BY ETHAN HUFF

SEE: https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-11-11-biden-state-department-access-personal-data.html;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

(Natural News) The personal data of more than 145 million Americans are being indiscriminately handed over by the Biden regime’s State Department to various law enforcement and intelligence agencies for illegal and unconstitutional probing, according to a letter sent from Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) to Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Without any proper legal due process or apparent oversight, Biden’s State Department is reportedly pulling private information from people’s passport applications without their knowledge or consent and passing it off to other government agencies. Wyden’s letter is part of an ongoing investigation into Operation Whistle Pig, a wide-ranging leak investigation launched by a Border Patrol agent and several of his supervisors at the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol’s National Targeting Center.

“I write to express serious concern that the Department of State is providing law enforcement and intelligence agencies with unfettered access to personal data, originally collected through passport applications, of the more than 145 million Americans with a passport,” Wyden’s letter reads.

It adds that “the breadth of this access highlights the potential for other abuses. In a July 13, 2022, briefing for my office, State Department officials confirmed that 25 other federal agencies have access to the Department’s database of passport applications.” (Related: In April, Biden’s State Department issued a memo claiming that covid “most likely” escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China.)

The Biden regime is an unlawful and unconstitutional regime

Among the data being collected from Americans and passed from the federal government to law enforcement and intelligence groups are names, addresses, birth dates, biometric data like fingerprints and facial images, email addresses, phone numbers, gender, race, Social Security numbers, and other private information.

“The [State] Department’s mission does not include providing dozens of other government agencies with self-service access to 145 million Americans’ personal data,” Wyden’s letter goes on to state.

“The Department has voluntarily taken on this role, and in doing so, prioritized the interests of other agencies over those of law-abiding Americans. While there is a legitimate role for the use of this information by law enforcement, the current unregulated system of interagency access to millions of Americans’ records goes far beyond what a reasonable person would expect or tolerate.”

There is no legal requirement that the State Department provide any of this information upon request, except through a normal legal process such as a subpoena or court order. In this case, there is none of that present, which means the Biden regime is committing an unconstitutional act.

It remains unknown the level to which each of the 25 law enforcement and intelligence agencies on the dole has access to said data. Some may only have access to a small amount of it while others have full access – we just do not know because there is no transparency.

Wyden also alleges that a Border Patrol agent misused government databases to pursue a rogue leak investigation into a news reporter and her relationship with a congressional staffer. The Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) launched a probe into these allegations, as well as into the work of said Border Patrol agent.

What the OIG investigation has uncovered thus far as part of a more than 500-page unredacted report forms the basis of the Operation Whistle Pig investigation, which you can learn more about at this link.

“Abuses of this access came to light through a report of an investigation by the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General (OIG) into activities at Customs and Border Protection (CBP),” a letter about the investigation states.

Empowering the deep state: Biden secretly signs executive order unleashing the U.S. surveillance state on Americans

BY J.D. HEYES

SEE: https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-10-11-biden-secretly-signs-executive-order-unleashing-surveillance-state-on-americans.html;

(Natural News) President Joe Biden’s handlers quietly had him sign an executive order late Friday evening when no one was looking that demolishes what is left of Americans’ constitutional protections against unauthorized government intrusion into their lives.

In particular, Biden’s order repeals the restrictions placed upon signals intelligence collection — that is, electronic spying — that were actually put in place by his former running mate, Barack Obama, and as is typical with Democrats, the language of the order is completely contradictory to what the order actually does:

The Executive Order of October 7, 2022 (Enhancing Safeguards for United States Signals Intelligence Activities), establishes enhanced safeguards for the United States signals intelligence activities that supersede the safeguards for personal information collected through signals intelligence established by Presidential Policy Directive 28 of January 17, 2014 (Signals Intelligence Activities) (PPD-28)

There are no “enhanced safeguards.” Rather, the guardrails have been removed.

Here is what Obama’s order established:

The collection of signals intelligence shall be authorized by statute or Executive Order, proclamation, or other Presidential directives, and undertaken in accordance with the Constitution and applicable statutes, Executive Orders, proclamations, and Presidential directives.

(b) Privacy and civil liberties shall be integral considerations in the planning of U.S. signals intelligence activities. The United States shall not collect signals intelligence for the purpose of suppressing or burdening criticism or dissent, or for disadvantaging persons based on their ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion. Signals intelligence shall be collected exclusively where there is a foreign intelligence or counterintelligence purpose to support national and departmental missions and not for any other purposes. [Emphasis added]

(c) The collection of foreign private commercial information or trade secrets is authorized only to protect the national security of the United States or its partners and allies. It is not an authorized foreign intelligence or counterintelligence purpose to collect such information to afford a competitive advantage[4] to U.S. companies and U.S. business sectors commercially.

(d) Signal intelligence activities shall be as tailored as feasible. In determining whether to collect signals intelligence, the United States shall consider the availability of other information, including from diplomatic and public sources. Such appropriate and feasible alternatives to signals intelligence should be prioritized.

That actually seems pretty reasonable — following the Constitution even if/when the electronic eavesdropping was authorized via executive order (could it be this was the precursor to spying on Trump?).

Meanwhile, Biden’s order states: “The Executive Order establishes enhanced safeguards in recognition that signals intelligence activities must be conducted in a manner that takes into account that all persons should be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their nationality or wherever they might reside, and that all persons have legitimate privacy interests in the handling of their personal information.

“In addition, signals intelligence activities present the potential for national security damage if improperly disclosed.  Therefore, it is essential to maintain the policy process refined by section 3 of PPD-28 and supplemented by the classified annex to PPD-28, under which national security policymakers consider carefully the value of signals intelligence activities to our national interests and the risks entailed in conducting those activities,” the order adds, before going on to repeal most of PPD-28.

“Revocation. PPD-28 is hereby revoked except for sections 3 and 6 of that directive and the classified annex to that directive, which remain in effect,” Biden’s order states.

Why repeal this? And why do it now? What is coming down the pipe from the regime? Is Biden planning on ramping up spying on certain figures in support of the war in Ukraine? Or — more likely — is the regime planning to start spying on political opponents inside the country, otherwise known as “Republican voters?”

If we had to bet, we’d say the latter. Otherwise, there is no reason to touch PPD-28.

DON’T FALL FOR IT: It’s all RIGGED beyond imagination~Deep state pushing for “blood in the streets” across America before Halloween

BY MIKE ADAMS

SEE: https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-08-29-its-all-rigged-deep-state-pushing-for-blood-in-the-streets.html;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

(Natural News) IMPORTANT: The failing intelligence deep state regime is desperately trying to save itself by provoking an armed uprising that can be blamed on conservatives and Trump supporters. They need this revolt to bury the damning facts that are now emerging about the FBI’s election interference (Hunter Biden’s laptop), covid vaccines killing people (the dead bodies are becoming too numerous to ignore), and the shocking truth about the engineered collapse of food, energy and supply chains worldwide. (People will starve and freeze this winter, all across western nations.)

The people are waking up like never before, which means the deep state must try to invoke more violence than ever before. This is why the narrative is being promulgated that claims conservatives are “semi-fascists,” even though the real fascism comes from the radical Left that rigged the election, destroyed America’s economy with covid lockdowns, and shattered the First Amendment by ordering Big Tech to censor all dissenting views.

Now, the deep state wants to bait Americans into an armed, violent uprising. They've got the tools to achieve it, too, since deep state jerk-offs are, in fact, master baiters. The coming indictment of President Trump is part of the provocation scheme designed to whip up the American people into an emotional state of revolt. And if that’s not enough, my sources tell me Democrats are making a highly organized attempt to rig the 2022 midterms and maintain control over both the House of the Senate, after which gun confiscation laws will be passed and signed into law to further provoke American conservatives into an attempted uprising.

It is critical that We the People do not fall for the provocations. Violence is what the regime wants to provoke, which means violence is exactly what we must reject. This is a time for all real Americans to “go Gandhi” against the corrupt establishment and demand the dismantling and banishing of this authoritarian, Marxist system of selective prosecutions and government-sponsored terrorism that has been weaponized against American conservatives.

CLAIM: IRS agents plan to arrest and prosecute Americans for failure to pay new “assault weapons” taxes

Over the weekend, I was told from a reliable, embedded source that the Democrats, if they hold the House and Senate, plan to pass new “assault weapons” legislation that would require nationwide registration and tax payments for each rifle (or pistol capable of holding more than 10 rounds) that a person owns. If this passes, anyone obeying the new law would effectively violate their own Fifth Amendment rights by testifying against themselves via registration of their firearms. Failure to register or pay new firearm taxes would result in one of the new 87,000 IRS agents visiting your home and arresting you at gunpoint for “tax evasion.” (This explains the need for 87,000 new IRS agents and why they need to be trained in the use of “deadly force” against the American people.)

This effort is not designed to actually confiscate all the guns, I’m told, but rather to anger the American people so much that they revolt against the government, thereby creating the chaos that the regime needs to declare an active insurrection and invoke a form of martial law that would see US troops operating on the streets of America.

Essentially, the Biden regime is trying to “J6” half the country and throw as many conservatives, Christians, and pro-2A people as possible into gulags and death camps (formerly known as “quarantine camps” under covid, of course). The regime is merely one crisis away from pulling this off.

Remember that Democrats project all their own evil intentions onto their political opponents. When Democrats claim that conservatives are “a threat to democracy,” it’s because Democrats are trashing democracy. (They rigged the 2020 election with ballot stuffing mules, after all.) When they claim conservatives are violent, it’s because radical Leftists are violent. (Antifa, anyone?) When they claim conservatives don’t value children, it’s because Democrats themselves want to mutilate and murder children via transgender surgeries and abortions.

Every accusation the Democrats hurl at conservatives is actually a description of their own dark intentions.

The coming October false flag – can it be stopped?

In addition to the warnings described above — which would take place after the midterm elections — there’s a new warning emerging about an October surprise false flag attack that’s being engineered to portray conservatives and gun owners as violent terrorists. The media narrative is already being put into place on this, as you may have noticed, and the FBI is running a Whitmer-style false flag plot to recruit disenfranchised conservatives and make them the patsies in a large-scale bombing or shooting of some kind that will be tailor-made for CNN and the media to push the final “conservatives are terrorists” narrative.

Nobody is better at plotting and carrying out large-scale acts of terrorism in America than the FBI itself, which of course masterminded the 1993 Twin Towers bombing, the Oklahoma City bombing, the Waco affair (with the help of the ATF), and the 9/11 attack in NYC. The FBI was behind each of them, running the ops, recruiting the “terrorists” and providing intelligence, hardware, and technical assistance to carry out the attacks.

This new false flag attack is likely to be carried out just in time to strongly affect the early November midterm elections, and the staged terrorism event will be used as justification to arrest as many conservative podcasters (Gavin McInnes, anyone?), social media influencers and anyone to whom some level of “revolt” talk can be attributed. The First Amendment be damned, the Biden regime is going to say that any conservatives who merely expressed disagreement with the Biden regime are by definition guilty of yelling fire in a crowded theater and subject to arrest, even if they had nothing at all to do with whatever event unfolds.

That’s the mega-false flag event that’s being planned, I’m told. At the same time, there still exist white hat forces inside the FBI, DOJ, Pentagon, police forces, law enforcement, etc., who have a real shot at frustrating or even halting this effort. There’s a civil war right now inside the FBI and the Pentagon (both), and with each passing day, more and more government agents are realizing if they don’t get on the side of freedom and the rule of law, they will watch their own country go down in flames in the coming chaos. The worst deep state actors are rapidly running out of friends, and it is notable that even J6 wasn’t able to be pulled off as they had hoped. It fizzled. And the same may happen with the October surprise being planned. (Let us pray for peace and wisdom so that all those who are able to see can discern the truth about what’s happening and thereby help stop it.)

Improved election integrity in multiple states is also a positive factor

Notably, nearly two dozen US states have passed laws improving election integrity since the stolen 2020 election, and this may be a decisive factor in preventing the Dems from successfully rigging the midterms. If the GOP can seize the House — even without the Senate — the Biden regime’s most nefarious plans for gun confiscations and a civil war revolt are sent back to the drawing board. For this reason, voting for GOP candidates is critical to saving America, even as much as we are all fed up with the RINOs and the jellyfish spines of conservative lawmakers who seem utterly incapable of doing anything useful when they gain power.

In addition, many mainstream news publishers have seen enough of the lawlessness of the Democrats to start sounding the alarm. The WSJ, incredibly, is now calling out the FBI for its unjustifiable raid on Mar-a-Lago, as it seems the radical deep staters on the Left have gone too far even for Wall Street. After all, even the WSJ knows that a civil war or martial law is bad for markets, and as much as the WSJ pushes the mainstream narrative on almost everything (vaccines, Ukraine, etc.), it has obviously come to realize that if we don’t stop this lawlessness by the Democrats, whatever free market foundation still surviving in America is likely to be obliterated.

Tyranny is bad for business, in other words. Especially when you know where this is going: Price controls for food and fuel, followed by government seizure of private producers, resulting in full-blown fascism/communism as the government seizes the means of production and plunged America into a Venezuela-like collapse scenario, run by authoritarian tyrants who answer to anti-human globalists.

Many in the mainstream who have been anti-Trump for the last six years are now suddenly realizing that the Democrats aren’t going to stop at destroying Trump… they’re going to destroy America! Thus, they must be stopped simply out of a concern for self-preservation.

So the good news is that the most nefarious plans of the radical Marxists aren’t guaranteed to succeed. There are powerful forces now lining up against them, which is precisely why they’re pulling a “Hail Mary” false flag attempt to demonize conservatives and seize even more federal power under the next declared emergency. Critically, gun owners, Trump supporters, and Christians need to stay calm and refuse to be cajoled into acts of violence. If they stay calm and resist the violence, the Biden regime ends up burying itself under corruption and fraud, and the American people have a real chance at restoring their constitutional republic.

REGIME CHANGE now under way in the USA: Biden on the chopping block as intelligence community activates emergency self-preservation actions

(Natural News) Several days ago, fake president Joe Biden called for regime change in Russia, practically begging Russia’s military generals to remove Putin from power. But that hasn’t happened. What’s happening instead is that America’s intelligence community “generals” are now moving against Joe Biden.

I received intel over the weekend that the IC (Intelligence Community) three-letter agencies had come to the realization that if they didn’t stop Biden’s accelerating destruction of America, they would all be wiped out as America collapsed. I shared this intel in a Monday morning podcast and article that you can read here. The title of that article tells the story: “ANALYSIS: Embedded “good guys” are turning against the cabal… It’s ALL coming out… and the awakening cannot be halted.”

Yesterday, the Washington Post and CNN took action that confirmed all this, running bombshell stories that exposed details from Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell.” In essence, the CIA ordered the Washington Post to start exposing the Biden crime family. This is all being done in preparation for Biden’s removal from power.

As Zero Hedge wrote yesterday, “Hunter Biden Dam About To Burst? WaPo, CNN Go Scorched Earth Over ‘Laptop From Hell'”:

Two weeks ago, the New York Times confirmed the laptop exists and is legit – and confirmed several previously reported aspects of the story, including correspondence between Hunter and his business partner Devon Archer, both of whom served on the board of Ukrainian energy giant Burisma.

Today, the Washington Post and CNN are piling on – with the post confirming yet-more details of the laptop contents, and CNN running a blistering segment and reporting that the federal investigation into Hunter is ‘heating up.’

So the same corporate media that lied and covered up the truth about the Biden crime family has now been ordered to unleash the truth about the Bidens in preparation for Biden’s removal from office.

It’s not yet clear exactly how Biden is going to be removed, but the action is imminent

We don’t have any details on how Biden will be removed, but we are aware that indictment documents for the Bidens are currently circulating among three-letter agencies. The FBI, CIA, NSA, DHS, etc., are all fully aware of the extent of the Biden crimes — as they have been since early 2016, it turns out — and they are now deciding how much to release publicly in order to set the appropriate narrative for Biden to be removed from office.

Hunter Biden will likely be indicted, and Joe will be sufficiently close to the accused crimes that he is forced to resign. So this means the 25th Amendment option isn’t the most likely outcome here. Rather, there will be evidence released from Hunter Biden’s laptop that ensnares the fake president, forcing his resignation as the media fans the flames of outrage.

The reason the IC and media are on board with this is because they need to chain a lot of bad baggage to Biden and then place the blame for all those things squarely on his shoulders while protecting the Democrat brand for other potential candidates. So you’re going to see the media articles and deep state leaks focusing on things that are very specific to official abuse of power carried out by the Bidens themselves, and not anything that would cast a wider net on the DNC or the Democrat party as a whole. After all, they need to limit the damage to the Democrat brand in the 2022 mid-terms.

Crucially, the IC has no intention whatsoever of installing Trump into power, and I want to be clear about that. This isn’t a reversal of the 2020 election theft; it’s simply the IC deep state practicing its own self-preservation emergency procedures to make sure they don’t get wiped out by Biden’s insane, unbounded criminality and incompetence.

New intel on the wave of suicide bombers headed for Western Europe (and maybe even America)

We have also received important intel — scrubbed of all OPSEC details that might compromise security for US forces — warning about a wave of suicide bombers being recruited in Afghanistan, armed with suicide vests in Iran, then transported to Ukraine and placed under temporary control of Russian military units. Their ultimate goal is to move into Western European nations (NATO nations are the target) by posing as Ukrainian refugees.

They are armed with kinetic explosive vests which can be easily disassembled and reassembled in order to evade detection during border crossings. Importantly, some of the terrorists are in possession of explosive vests augmented with dirty bomb materials (i.e. radioisotopes). These are not extremely radioactive but are more along the lines of low-level radiation, just enough to make an area unsafe to inhabit and spread the fear of a “radiation dirty bomb.” These materials likely do not pose an acute risk of radiation poisoning, or they would be too unsafe to transport by the suicide bombers themselves.

We are told that suicide bomber attacks are now anticipated in Paris, London, Berlin, and other prominent cities in NATO countries. Likely targets will be “soft” targets with a high human density such as cafes, concerts, theaters, etc.

Part of this effort is designed to create economic and political instability in the West, combined with the economic difficulties caused by Putin demanding payment for energy exports in Rubles (which goes into effect tomorrow, if it is fully enforced).

Many enemies of the West are seizing upon this moment in history to unleash a variety of attacks from multiple vectors: Currency attacks, kinetic attacks, radiological attacks, refugee “flooding” of NATO nations, energy scarcity, etc.

Terrorists will likely attempt to enter the USA

We are also told that efforts will be made by suicide bombers to gain access to the continental United States (CONUS) with anticipation of suicide bombing attacks on low-security soft targets in the USA. Importantly, this means that our military intelligence believes these suicide bombers will not attempt to go after high-security targets such as the actual White House grounds which are very, very secure, but rather will target unguarded civilians who gather in large numbers at social events such as concerts, restaurants, theaters, etc.

We are not passing this along in order to incite fear in anyone, but rather to help our readers be prepared to anticipate these events which have already been set into motion by the global dynamics of war with Russia, economic sanctions, commodities shortages, currency wars, etc. An individual person’s actual chance of being caught in a suicide bombing in the USA is virtually zero. The far greater risk to us all is how a tyrannical government regime will respond to the escalation in terrorism violence by expanding surveillance of citizens, rolling out more security checkpoints, unlawful searches of ordinary citizens, and potentially even racial profiling of anyone who resembles a Middle Eastern profile.

In other words, the real danger to America is not the suicide bomber terrorism, but the reaction of government tyranny against its own citizens and the exploitation of another crisis to take away individual liberty. Note that the only reason such terrorists have easy access to the continental United States is because the US government outright refuses to secure the southern border. This is all being engineered on purpose.

ANALYSIS: Embedded “good guys” are turning against the cabal… It’s ALL coming out… and the awakening cannot be halted

BY MIKE ADAMS

SEE: https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-03-28-embedded-good-guys-are-turning-against-the-cabal-its-all-coming-out.html;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

(Natural News) We have received a batch of new intel from US military sources. Although it’s always difficult to sort out fact from fiction, this is a credible source, and previous intel from this source has proven mostly accurate.

According to the information received by this source and then filtered for us (to remove any OPSEC details), there are some bombshell developments underway right now inside the deep layers of the Pentagon and the Biden regime. First, inside the Pentagon and even the intelligence community, there is growing consensus that the Biden regime is rapidly putting America on a path of economic destruction and that it must be stopped from within. Thus, the number of people inside the CIA, FBI, DHS, DoD, etc. who are now switching hats — from “black hat” to “white hat” — is rapidly expanding.

What I’m told is that many of these people are of course corrupt, greedy bastards, but there are limits to what they will tolerate. They are opposed to the pedophiles running the Biden regime, for example, and they are fully aware of the child trafficking allegations/evidence found on the Hunter Biden “laptop from Hell.”

In addition, they have a pretty good racket going and they don’t want the racket to collapse. This means they need to stop Biden from completely destroying the US dollar and America’s economic system. In other words, even those who voted for Biden and who are part of the corrupt bureaucracy are realizing that if they don’t stop this madness, they will all be destroyed as America falls. Thus, out of a sense of self-preservation (and in some cases, human decency), they are turning against the cabal and hoping to preserve their positions of power in the process.

I’m told that indictment papers for Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Hunter Biden, and Joe Biden are already circulating within the intelligence community. All the players are fully aware of the serious crimes of official corruption that have been committed by these people, spanning several decades. The intelligence community influencers are attempting to prepare a way to remove Joe Biden from power, publicly expose the Biden crime family and still maintain some degree of credibility for Democrats in the mid-term elections. If this seems like an impossible task to you, most of the deep state experts also agree. There is no way to expose all this without ripping the credibility of the Democrats (and the controlled media) to shreds, and that’s the main reason why there is internal pushback against this strategy.

That’s also why there is a contingent within the deep state that seeks to remove Joe Biden using another method — such as a false flag operation — so that he can be “taken out” and given a hero’s funeral, much like the official funeral of traitor John McCain, who was part of the Russia collusion coup attempt against Trump.

Biden’s funding of Iran is feared to unleash a wave of radicalized suicide bombers across Western Europe and the United States

There’s another factor in all this that’s weighing heavily on the FBI, CIA, DHS, DoD, and other security agencies, we’ve learned. Biden’s new deal with Iran is going to flood Iran with billions of dollars in fresh cash that will enable Iran to fully fund a wave of radicalized suicide bombers who will be unleashed onto Western Europe by pretending to be Ukrainian refugees seeking protection in the West. Some of these operatives will also sneak into the USA across the open southern border, most likely pretending to be South American. Once in the USA, they can easily acquire the weapons and explosives they need to carry out their murderous tasks of causing chaos and fear across America.

Effectively, Joe Biden is now the world’s No. 1 funding source for radical terrorism in the Middle East. And high-level officials inside the intelligence community are fully aware that Biden’s actions are going to place themselves and their families in danger, given that some of the terrorism targets in the USA are almost certain to include radical Islamic extremists targeting government installations of some kind. (The Pentagon was specifically mentioned in all this, although it’s not clear how any terrorist could threaten the Pentagon building or grounds, given how high the security is around that installation.)

In my own assessment, I tend to believe that terrorists will prefer “soft” targets such as nightclubs and heavily attended sporting events, etc., where they believe they can accrue very high casualties due to the density of people in a small space. Think Las Vegas shooting, or the Orlando gay nightclub shooting from a few years back.

Whatever form it takes, it is verified that the US intelligence community believes Biden’s actions in funding Iran will unleash a new wave of actual terrorism in Western Europe and America. We’re not talking about the fake, staged FBI events like the theatrical kidnapping of Michigan Gov. Whitmer. That was pure theater run by the FBI. What we’re talking about now is actual unbounded violence carried out by well-funded terrorist groups funded by the government of Iran which is effectively funneling Biden’s US money into his terrorism operations.

They are rushing to remove Biden to try to salvage the mid-term election outcome for Democrats

For these reasons (and others), the decision has been made within the intelligence ecosystem to get rid of Joe Biden. It is only a matter of what means will be used to achieve that goal. It seems likely that the timetable for this would be accelerated by the deep state itself, given how Biden’s disastrous polling numbers are dragging down Democrats’ chances in November like an anchor and chains wrapped around some poor guy’s ankles. Unless something radical changes, the Democrats will lose their House majority, and with it they will lose House investigatory subpoena power which they have used to threaten and intimidate their political enemies since early 2019. (Adam Schiff, anyone?)

The Biden loyalists, of course, are desperately trying to stay in power despite the internal war being structured against them by the intelligence community. Their desired strategy is to escalate the Ukraine conflict into a world war with Russia, declare a wartime emergency, cancel the mid-term elections and rule with a totalitarian police state while arresting anyone who dissents by labeling them, “Russian agents of disinformation.” This strategy now looks likely to fail, but there is still a risk that things could escalate quickly in Ukraine and alter the odds.

In truth, there are Russian agents embedded in the Biden White House right now. One of them is a frontwoman for the media, it turns out. Another prominent figure is the actual architect of Ukraine’s corrupt politics, whose family came from Russia two generations ago. (Do your homework on Nuland, if you dare…)

The SECRET civil war is already underway

There is a better-than-even chance that Joe Biden will be arrested and removed from power before he can pull the trigger on global thermonuclear war. But there’s also a real chance that he will destroy America before there is enough internal consensus to move against him. What’s clear in all this is that the regime’s war against the American people has shifted focus; now they’re at war with other factions inside the government itself, not merely pro-Trump patriots. They are in effect fighting a two-front war in America.

In effect, we are watching an internal, “secret” civil war unfolding by the day. You can expect all sorts of fireworks from this action, as various factions of the deep state and intelligence community will wage false flags, assassinations, blackmail, and staged child trafficking stings against each other. These are some of the most vicious, immoral people on the planet, and they are now unleashing their worst weapons against each other. As a small sample of the kind of thing that goes on, consider this story based on Rep. Madison Cawthorn who reveals what goes on in D.C. in an effort to gather blackmail on officials and elected reps:

Rep. Madison Cawthorn revealed last week that since moving to Washington, D.C., he has been invited to orgies with politicians and saw powerful people do “key bumps” of cocaine in front of him, all while the media collected scandalous stories to blackmail people.

Speaking to John Lovell on the Warrior Poet Society podcast, Cawthorn was asked if House of Cards, the show starring Kevin Spacey as the Democratic chief whip and his “secret life of corruption and power and money and perversion,” was anything too close to the reality of what goes on in Washington DC.

Cawthorn said he was astonished at the levels of “sexual perversion” that happen in the nation’s capital.

He told Lovell that as a young guy who’s always paid attention to politics, he was shocked that some he “looked up to” throughout his life have now invited him to attend “sexual get-togethers,” which he said were actually orgies.

The House representative from North Carolina added that cocaine and drug use was rife among DC insiders.

We are on a knife’s edge, and the future of America is in real jeopardy

The end result is impossible to predict from the outside, looking in. There’s a chance the good guys pull this off and the Bidens, Clintons, and Obamas end up indicted or imprisoned. There’s also a chance that all the people who have a conscience are purged from the system and we end up in a draconian, totalitarian regime ruled by psychopaths and mass murderers.

So interpret this in whatever way suits you best, but do not think the patriots have this in the bag. They don’t. Not yet anyway. Nevertheless, the momentum is on their side, and the more damage Biden does to America’s economy, culture, and currency, the more rapidly the “white hats” are gaining friends and allies at every level.

Expect mega-fireworks long before July 4th.

Biden’s Handlers Release at Least 50 Afghans with ‘Potentially Significant Security Concerns’ Into the U.S.

BY ROBERT SPENCER

New in PJ Media:

Back in September 2021, Joe Biden reassured Americans that the Afghan refugees whom he was bringing into the United States would be as benign and harmless as Aunt Harriet. Old Joe’s crack team (no, not Hunter) of experts would make sure of that by “conducting thorough scrutiny — security screenings for everyone who is not a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident.” Well, here’s a shocker: Biden, one of the world’s least trustworthy human beings, lied again: Not only were most of the refugees not vetted at all, but on Thursday it came to light that at least fifty Afghan refugees with “potentially significant security concerns” were admitted to the United States with no problem, and are here now. Thanks, Joe!

Wait, it gets worse. The Defense Department’s inspector general reported Thursday, according to the Washington Times, that not only did Biden’s handlers bring these security risks into the country, but now they have no idea where they are: “It looked at a sampling of 31 security risk evacuees identified as of Sept. 17 and found only three could be located.” Nor is that likely to be the extent of the problem: “Tens of thousands more names remain to be checked.”

The Defense Department’s audit explained laconically: “Not being able to locate Afghan evacuees with derogatory information quickly and accurately could pose a security risk to the United States.” Well, yeah. And so once again one has to wonder: Are the people who are running Joe Biden’s presidency really this careless and stupid, that they thought vetting these Afghan refugees was something they could dispense with when in a hurry, and that there would be no downside? Or is the situation even worse? If a gang of traitors who actively wanted to weaken the United States were ensconced in the White House, how could this have been mishandled any more than it has been?

The Times report suggests that the whole thing is just a result of poor planning and organization, not the massive betrayal of American citizens that it appears to be at first glance: “Investigators said a key set of Defense Department databases was off-limits to the vetting team in the early months of the evacuation effort, because of agreements the Pentagon had with other countries. Eventually, officials developed a workaround.” But that doesn’t make the situation any better. If unvetted Afghan refugees were brought into the United States because the vetting team didn’t have access to the necessary databases, the resettlement process should have been halted until those databases became available. Instead, an unknowable number of Afghans who could be jihadis or potential jihadis have been deposited into American communities, where they’re being welcomed with open arms by people who don’t have a clue about what they’re dealing with.

There is more. Read the rest here.

Horrific CIA Experiments & Programs Exposed by Victim

The Central Intelligence Agency has been conducting horrific programs involving mind control, sexual abuse, psychological terrorism and more, author and self-declared survivor of these schemes Dr. Juliette Engel tells The New American magazine's Alex Newman in this interview from the Red Pill Expo. Dr. Engel, who said she was sucked into this world by her father, explained that the "satanic" programs and experiments such as MK Ultra have roots in Nazi Germany and the New World Order. Later, after Engel broke free from the evil, she moved to Russia and helped rescue human-trafficking victims.

Was Facebook whistleblower just a CIA PSYOP? Haugen’s attorney is former intelligence officer with ties to Trump-Ukraine impeachment, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer

(Natural News) The more we learn about the “Facebook whistleblower,” Frances Haugen, the more the entire situation looks like a massive circle jerk and psychological operation (PSYOP) aimed at throwing us all off the real dangers of the deep state and the big tech behemoth that it serves.

“This Facebook whistleblower nonsense is likely an intel op or set-up. Facebook’s ‘Whistleblower’ Frances Haugen’s lawyer is Andrew P. Bakaj. Andrew P. Bakaj is a Washington, DC attorney and former intelligence officer with the Central Intelligence Agency,” begins a Twitter thread from an account called CulturalHusbandry that is followed by a number of blue-checks.

“He was the principal attorney representing the whistleblower who filed the initial complaint that led to the launch of multiple investigations by the US Congress into the Trump-Ukraine scandal, the impeachment inquiry into President Trump, and, ultimately, the first Impeachment of Trump,” the thread continued.

“Bajak also has a work history for Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer. Bakaj, now a managing partner at the Compass Rose Legal Group, interned for Schumer in the spring of 2001 and for Clinton in the fall of the same year, according to Bakaj’s LinkedIn page,” the user wrote, adding that Bajak was summarily rewarded by the deep state.

“The Department of Defense recognized Andrews [sic] work by awarding him Investigator of the Year, Investigations of the Year, and the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General Career Achievement Award. His work at DoD and CIA is all political and inward-facing,” the thread noted.

“And as the Trump-Ukraine Non-Scandal proved, his work is HIGHLY political and at the behest of powerful internal factions that realign as needed to maintain centralized authority, or expand authority when opportunity arises,” said CulturalHusbandry. “This is what is happening with the Facebook nonsense.”

The poster went on to predict that what’s coming next is more, not less, censorship.

“You’re watching an intel op play out that will likely result in MORE censorship on platforms, not just Facebook, but most if not all major social media. And this is almost guaranteed to be targeted towards conservative ideas, groups, and individuals,” the threat noted. “At some point, big tech didn’t play ball with the US Gov. and the US Gov. said no problem, we’ll create the situation that allows for the result we want. If this turns out to be the play we are seeing, the censorship after-effects are guaranteed.”

As for Haugen, we already know she’s a Democrat operative, as The Post Millennial reported earlier this week after she ‘blew the whistle’ on “60 Minutes.”

“Reports indicate that Haugen is working with Bill Burton and his consulting firm, Bryson Gillette. Burton worked under the Obama administration as deputy press secretary. The former Facebook employee’s communications team is allegedly seeking guidance from Burton,” the outlet reported, adding:

Over the course of ten months, the former Facebook employee leaked internal documents to Wall Street Journal which has since been dubbed by the outlet as “The Facebook Files.”

On Haugen and Burton working together, former director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee Kevin Laughlin said the move seems “well-orchestrated.”

“It does have the appearance of being an incredibly well-orchestrated communications campaign,” said Laughlin.

In the past, Burton has been highly critical of Facebook and has even compared the social media giant to tobacco companies. He said that tobacco companies knowingly sell dangerous, deadly products that make them increasingly addictive so consumers will continue to buy them — just like Facebook.

Interestingly, Haugen criticized Facebook during her 60 Minutes interview for a lack of censorship, though the social media behemoth, like the others, have regularly barred conservatives and conservative content for the flimsiest of reasons, all while allowing leftists to spew hate and misinformation including ‘mainstream media’ outlets that continually published lies about former President Donald Trump.

So again, this all sounds like a deep state intel op, like the Twitter thread suggests, which — when you think about it — actually makes perfect sense.

CIA Director Meets With Taliban Leader Begging For an Extension

Former Navy SEAL's message to Biden goes viral amid chaos in Afghanistan

Former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink says he posted his message to the president on social media because he 'felt that nobody was making any statements taking ownership of the situation that was happening' in Afghanistan.

BY RICK MORAN

SEE: https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/rick-moran/2021/08/24/sickening-cia-director-begs-taliban-leader-for-an-extension-of-august-31-withdrawal-deadline-n1472168;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

CIA Director William J. Burns held a secret meeting in Kabul on Monday with the Taliban leader Abdul Ghani Baradar, as the United States looks for an extension of Biden’s own deadline of August 31 to remove all Americans from Afghanistan.

The Taliban said yesterday that they see the August 31 date as a “red line” and will refuse to grant the U.S. additional time to leave.

CNBC:

A Taliban spokesman told Sky News that the group will not accept such an extension.

“It’s a red line. President Biden announced that on 31 August they would withdraw all their military forces. So if they extend it that means they are extending occupation while there is no need for that,” Suhail Shaheen said, according to the report.

“If the U.S. or U.K. were to seek additional time to continue evacuations, the answer is no. Or there would be consequences,” he added.

The Taliban spokesman added that it would “provoke a reaction” if Biden extended the withdrawal deadline.

Exactly what that veiled threat means is unclear but the Taliban could cause a lot of problems for the U.S. in trying to get its people out of Afghanistan. Currently, the airport from which the evacuations are taking place is extremely vulnerable to external attacks. The Taliban is providing security, but what if they were to pull their protection? This would be the least disruptive move they could make if they don’t agree to an extension of the August 31 deadline.

Washington Post:

The Biden administration is under pressure from some allies to keep U.S. forces in the country beyond the end of the month to assist the evacuation of tens of thousands of citizens of the United States and Western countries as well as Afghan allies desperate to escape Taliban rule.

Britain, France and other U.S. allies have said more time is needed to evacuate their personnel, but a Taliban spokesman warned that the United States would be crossing a “red line” if it kept troops beyond the 31st, which he said would trigger unspecified “consequences.”

The Taliban is scoring propaganda victory after propaganda victory. The U.S. appears as a supplicant coming before the mighty Taliban begging for consideration for their helpless ones.

It’s sickening.

It will be impossible to evacuate all the Americans from Kabul who want to leave because the administration has no idea how many Americans there are living in the city or where many of them are. They also can’t possibly evacuate all the at-risk Afghans who assisted American forces during the occupation and who would be executed if the Taliban got their hands on them.

It’s going to take weeks — perhaps months — to finish the job of safely evacuating those who are in danger. And the way the Taliban is talking, they have no intention of giving the United States that much of a grace period to get the job done.

Defense Department spokesman John Kirby says it’s still possible the evacuation could be completed by the end of the month.

“We are well aware of the stated desire by the Taliban to have this mission completed by the 31st of August, I will tell you that we are still planning on completing it by the 31st of August. That is the mission that has been signed by the commander in chief and assigned to us and that’s what we’re trying to execute,” Kirby added.

Earlier on Monday, the U.S. military confirmed a brief firefight broke out at one gate into Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport.

According to the White House, 48,000 people have been evacuated from the Kabul airport since August 14. Even with the rescue effort ramping up by the military commandeering civilian aircraft to facilitate the evacuation, it would take at least a couple of weeks to get just the Americans out, not counting our Afghan allies and their families.

The situation will come to a head sometime early next week.

Former AIR FORCE General, CIA Chief Hayden Endorses Deporting Trump Supporters to Afghanistan

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

Retired Air Force general and former CIA and NSA chief Michael Hayden endorsed sending “MAGA wearing unvaxxed to Afghanistan” on board empty cargo planes.

A four-star, Hayden served as NSA director under Bill Clinton and headed up the CIA under George W. Bush and briefly under Barack Obama.

After retiring from government, Hayden joined various boards, consultancies, etc. — an archetypal example of the Deep State practice of sweet gigs and honorary degrees for the well-connected and loyal.

Today Hayden spends his free time endorsing Twitter randos’ s***posts calling for the deportation of millions of Americans into a warzone.

Is it any wonder so many Americans now hold our federal law enforcement agencies, intelligence agencies, and even the military in such contempt?

The feeling is mutual — and they started it.

The replies to Hayden’s retweet are brutal, but maybe none so much as this one:

Whether Hayden genuinely agrees with the idea of sending otherwise empty cargo jets back to Afghanistan chock-full of Trump supporters, or if he just doesn’t have sense enough to understand that a man in his position really shouldn’t joke about that kind of thing…

…well, who knows?

What I can say for certain is that Hayden is exactly the kind of America-hating chair-warmer who shouldn’t be trusted with anything sharper than a rubber band.
