Trump Is Looking at Plans For a Global Network of Private Spies (vice.com)
David Gilbert, writing for Vice: The White House is reportedly looking at a proposal to create a ghost network of private spies in hostile countries -- a way of bypassing the intelligence community's "deep state," which Donald Trump believes is a threat to his administration. The network would report directly to the president and CIA Director Mike Pompeo, and would be developed by Blackwater founder Erik Prince, according to multiple current and former officials speaking to The Intercept. "Pompeo can't trust the CIA bureaucracy, so we need to create this thing that reports just directly to him," a former senior U.S. intelligence official with firsthand knowledge of the proposals told the website. Described as "totally off the books," the network would be run by intelligence contractor Amyntor Group and would not share any data with the traditional intelligence community.
The Left has been screaming about the CIA since the 1950s.........how the CIA has been responsible for everything from assassinating "progressive" dictators in Chile to JFK in Dallas. In the 80s the CIA was claimed to have developed and spread AIDS to eliminate Blacks. And now that Trump might (might have you!) be considering reforming the CIA you're all pissing your pants.
Just what the hell do you people want?

"Russian" in this context is a nationality. While "Race" was once used to distinguish people by language, location or politics, that custom disappeared several hundred years ago. Perhaps the gulag's educational system has not kept up?
It's not just the Gulag; there's no shortage of Americans calling Trump "racist" because he purposed a ban on Muslim immigration from certain countries, or because he wants to build a wall between the US and Mexico. This wanton abuse of the word "racist" is quite common.
They wished that General George Patton had continued fighting at the end of WW II and leveled Moscow.
Given the inedible waste of the cold war which followed, and the insane number of lives lost to communist policies inside the USSR, that might very well have been the better option. It would certainly have been better for the many vassal states which, for decades, were ruled by the dictators in Moscow.
Hitler was an untranationalist conservative faggot vegetarian who killed his bitch self rather than face the music - like all Republicans will eventually.
During the Obama administration Google had more visits to the White House than any other entity or party. More than one a week, over 8 years. You think this is completely innocent?
Even better, remember all of the news stories about insurance and pharmaceutical company profits and injustice concerning their pricing leading up to the debate and ultimately vote for the Affordable Care Act? Have you realized that the Affordable Care Act did not address any of those underlying problems with insurance and pharmaceutical companies? Have you acknowledged to yourself that what it did was leave in place all of the injustices, abuses, and avarice and just shift the responsibility for making sure these companies' shareholders get even wealthier directly to the backs of the middle class?
You are blind and stupid only because you have internalized someone else's world view. You hide the truth from yourself because to look at it you would have to incriminate yourself due to how often you have lied to yourself, compromised your principles, attacked others for their pure motivations because they were ideologically opposed to your party. There is a price to pay for giving away your voice and power to an entity that has it's own agenda contrary to yours. You pay on the way out.
Think for yourself.
When the only tool you have is a claw hammer every problem starts to look like the back of someone's skull.
