Former CIA Officer Larry Johnson: This Is A Controlled Leak To Prepare The Public For “Crash Landing” Of U.S. Foreign Policy
4/14/23
“...this cover story that’s been manufactured to explain how these documents came to be produced, it just falls apart. It simply falls apart based on one document, which is listed as “CIA Operations Center Report: Top Secret.” I worked in the CIA operations center, and I helped prepare those reports, that’s an internal CIA document. No one on a U.S. military base anywhere in the world will have access to that kind of document.
This is elements connected to the Director of National Intelligence. That’s the one place you can bring together CIA, FBI, NSA, DIA, all the key elements. They are the one place in the U.S. government where you can assemble all this material. And the way this was so neatly packaged up — until I saw that CIA document, I was inclined to believe that this was the work of a whistleblower wanting to flag the problems about the public discrepancy about what Lloyd Austin, the Secretary of Defense, and Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the lies they were telling in public, as opposed to the actual reality of what they were being briefed on, in top secret briefings.
This information was leaked about Israel. Part of that comes from a FISA, it’s got a FISA classification on it, which does necessarily mean this is Department of Justice/FBI territory. So again, there’s no way that some National Guardsman doing [temporary duty] at Fort Bragg would have access to that.
And I’m not basing that on what happened to me 40 years ago... I worked in SCIFs and I still have friends who do... None of them have seen anything like this, particularly that CIA Operations Center document, or the FISA document... This thing is too tidy a package, this has been wrapped up nice and neatly, this is like an episode of “Law And Order.”
something ain’t right...
The opprobrium is much too swift and much too thick to be real.
In the meantime, the leaker than no one wants to find, the Dobbs leaker, is still unfound. The laptop's files are still largely unknown, and we will NEVER read the Tranny Nashville Killer's manifesto.
What they want you to think you know, they will say a million times. When they want you not to know, has more crickets than a 17-year locust infestation.

This is one of the major problems I have with almost all of these experts commenting on clearances, they are so entirely full of shit that you really have to believe whether they ever were any of these places or did any of these things.
Just by looking at him, he’s a little punk. Nuff said.
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy is an AI/Deep Fake and there is no real person behind the leak at all.
I think it is more likely that he was about to be a whistle blower on someone big, so the powers that be stopped him with an arrest and a made-up story.
Stroked out there...

Something about that brings the names Manning and Snowden to mind.
I can’t help but think of “The Man Who Never Was.” It would be a hoot if the intent was to mislead the Ruskies about the spring offensive.
This kid is being used. Someone fed this info to him to be leaked out, probably in one of the game rooms.
The real question is who fed the info to him ?
Imran Awan tapped into all sorts of information as an example.
Seemingly foreign agents of all stripes can tap into the DC behemoth .
In the Viet Nam era there were lots of E-3’s and E-4’s with Top Secret Code Word clearances for handling and originating classified material BUT their access was determined by need to know. How did this guy get access to material he had no Need To Know? Everyone I worked with were fully aware of the consequences of mishandling classified info and we were scared $hitless. Was this guy so smart he had no fear of getting caught?
I am seeing retired CIA agents as being upwardly mobile in the business world. CEO of AB is a CIA spook.
What's that saying over at the Washington Post? You know the one, Democracy Dies in Darkness.
The focus was on in information in the leaks of Colonel Vindman even though he lied because it hurt Trump. In this case, the focus is on the leaker because it hurts Biden.
Shades of Travis McGee.
Whether one believes this ‘narrative’ or not should be placed on the balance opposite what we’ve been implored to believe as ‘truth’ for the last nearly 8 years.
I have ignored this story from the start. Just doesn’t smell right.
