Three Americans have been arrested over their alleged involvement in a failed coup in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Video shows what is thought to be two of the men groveling for mercy on the ground as they were surrounded by government forces following a shootout in the capital Kinshasa on Sunday.

Reports in local media suggested the arrested men were CIA operatives although the US ambassador in the city was keen to distance the US from any involvement.

Ambassadors are willfully ignorant in those cases.
Are they CIA? One can understand why they’re being accused. If not Biden should say ‘you’re on your own’.

The way to know for sure they are CIA is if they are faggots.

I’m not sure if I am being sarcastic or not.

The CIA code is "you're on your own" if you're caught or arrested. This is probably why one of the guys looks so frightened on the video. We'll see if they live up to it.

Only their hair stylists, fashion accessories shop owners, bath house friends and fellow Judy Garland Society members know for sure.

1995 movie Congo.
Budget conscious studios shoot scenes in cheap places (X Files in British Columbia, Canada for years, many films in Czech Republic).

To save money, they shot Congo in Chicago on Saturday nights.

Just watch. The Puppet Biden CIA will try to foment a coup in Uganda and Peru. Any non-Muslim country that bans homosexual influence on children will be targeted.

Notice, they won’t push the LGBT agenda on Islamist nations.
