Former CIA director R. James Woolsey Jr., a veteran of four presidential administrations and one of the nation’s leading intelligence experts, resigned Thursday from President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team because of growing tensions over Trump’s vision for intelligence agencies.

No, I think this is a big deal.
That story is just kind of a cover story.
Remember, these are spooks we are talking about.
I have always believed the CIA had something to do with killing Kennedy.
Once Trump made that announcement..I knew it was going to hit the fan.
I really do hope he stays safe.
Fighting the Federal Reserve AND the CIA can get you killed by the powers that be.
Operation Mockingbird.
Never really went away.
Always there is some form or fashion.
Good riddance.
They wouldn't let him play, so Woolsey-Boolsey threw a tantrum and walked out.
Clinton’s former CIA Director resigns from Trump’s team.
“while politicized and in need of cleansing, the IC is not our enemy. “
I would argue that they are. They have been at the center of at least 5 drug waves to hit America. They protected the Corsican Gang of French Connection fame, they protected the Golden Triangle heroin trade during Vietnam. They protected the cocaine trade at the Mena airport in the 80s to fund the Contras. They have been happy to let the Mexican cartels run wild and have favored Sinaloa. And heroin has now exploded from Afghanistan.
Realistically, they were at a minimum, fully complicit in the murder of JFK.
They pushed the WMD story. We all get excited about gas shells here and there, and they grasp onto that. But everyone was worried that Saddam wanted a nuke. That war wasn’t to all round up some sarin and mustard gas shells.
They were founded by a cabal of Ivy League banker connected types and have worked feverishly for every NWO scheme since then.
They switched sides in the war on terror in Libya and supplied and supported black flag waving Al Qeida with money, weapons, AAA missiles, etc.
Now they have turned their intelligence sights on normal Americans.
Id like to hear an argument that we shouldn’t be at war with them.
Yep. This stuff never really stops - they just announce it has stopped, and then change the name and keep on keepin’ on.
“’I didn’t wanna fly under false colors’”
You can’t “fly under” false colors.
You can sail under false colors; you can fly false colors; but you can’t “fly under” false colors.
What is the matter with people? Are they actually stupid? Forrest Gump stupid? How did they get where they are when they can’t even use common idioms correctly?

Here is an Op-Ed from the Washington Post from Harry Truman who created the CIA. It was published 4 weeks after the death of JFK.
Read it and tell me he didn’t believe they were behind it.
After a national tragedy, he ran straight to his desk to write this.
Woollsey was just on Fox. He sidestepped several questions, but I came away with two conclusions:
1. Although he was closely involved with the Trump campaign, he hasn’t been involved as an advisor within the transition team, instead providing on background and on the record explanations to the press about Trump’s national security and intelligence plans. Of course, that begs the question of why his role changed after the campaign.
2. He said the recent (post 9/11) changes to the intelligence community have been unwise, and he would prefer that the CIA return to its OSS roots, with less bureaucracy at HQ and more emphasis on field operations. This sounds like what was earlier reported to be Trump’s position which Trump has just walked back.
If there was more to the story the Post would tell us.
Woosley has not been in the loop for “weeks” and he’s tired of the Press referring to him as a senior advisor to the Trump transition on matters of national security.
So he makes a big deal over his “spokesman” coming out to the press and making a formal announcement over something that had been de facto true for “weeks”.
That’s the WHOLE story. Friggin’ all of it.
But the ominous tone of the story and lede causes people to feel dreadful and believe it said more than it did. And it plays to established media images.
First rate propaganda.
And Fake News.
Not aware of the latest walk back. Is trump walking back his position on changing up intelligence?
Truman specifically said it was NOT created to be a field “cloak and dagger” (his term) agency. He wrote that its purpose was to be a clearinghouse for data, from all federal agencies, to channel quality data to the president.
Its original purpose wasn’t field ops.
Trump had 3 different campaign managers over the course of his campaign. Everybody shouted the Trump Train is Derailing, but it just kept rolling stronger & faster. Trump doesn’t tolerate stupid & isn’t afraid to say Your Fired.
He knows what he is doing & I wouldn’t be surprised to see shake ups at any point during his Presidency. The man has built a worldwide empire.
One minute he is a bubbling idiot & the next his business holdings are so vast, he can’t unravel them & will cause conflicts of interest during his tenure.
The only fools are those who underestimate him and don’t take him seriously.
