Johnny D, in all earnestness, I think the New Left is the same as the Old Left, just a bit younger and with maybe a dash more flavor.
It's this messed-up New Right, these MAGA cultists, white-supremacy apologists or worse, low-information, Q-anon knuckle-draggers we need to be focussing on. Their hero is a bigoted, bloated Orange Clown, getting last week's allies killed, letting ISIS have back their caliphate, abusing his power daily and generally criming out loud for all to see. What the hell are we going to do with the 38%-42% stuck in the cult?
"The Justice Department's review of the origins of the Russia investigation created "unease" at the CIA, according to a reporter who has followed its progress. Uncertainty over what investigators are seeking and whether the inquiry has become a criminal investigation has prompted some CIA analysts who played a role in the intelligence assessment of Russia's activities during the 2016 campaign to hire lawyers."
Politico, citing anonymous sources, reported that Attorney General William Barr and federal prosecutor John Durham are investigating a "conspiracy theory" that a professor linked to the Russia probe was a Western intelligence asset attempting to undermine President Trump's campaign and that the CIA was involved somehow.
If Brennan did anything illegal he deserves what he gets.
That said, he's not a politician, nor currently employed by the US government nor running for any office. So, let's not let Byren and his ilk "define" anything.
>>> are investigating a "conspiracy theory" that a professor linked to the Russia probe was a Western intelligence asset attempting to undermine President Trump's campaign and that the CIA was involved somehow.
Brennan made all the Trump people meet with Russians and then lie about it?
wow.
Maybe that CIA mind control weapon really does work.
As Stephen Still sings, "I'm no fun anymore" and can only laugh for brief intervals about this ... back to reality, Bryen, you've got blood on your hands.
What should make it even more troubling for you is the realization that you're all talk ... and likely don't have to courage to act upon your beliefs, just willing to stir the pot from afar to enable others to do your bidding.
“Rasta”, as Bob defiantly stated in “Rat Race”, “don’t work for no CIA”.
The dramatic implications of this line can only be understood when viewed in the context of Jamaican politics.
Following the “loss” of Cuba in 1959, Washington sought to contain the spread of genuinely independent Caribbean regimes.
By the mid-70s, Jamaica was in a state of unofficial civil war. Two political parties, each equipped with armed gangs, battled for control of the island.
On the mainstream left, there was Michael Manley’s Peoples National Party (PNP), which held government.
It was opposed by the deceptively-titled Jamaican Labour Party (JLP) under Edward Seaga, whose funding came from the domestic Jamaican “white” elite and foreign corporate interests involved in the mining industry.
The US government interfered to help fuel the political violence. It openly aimed to install Seaga (or “CIA-ga”, as he was widely known) in power.
Manley’s offences had been to pursue greater state control over the country’s plentiful bauxite reserves and engagement with Cuba’s revolutionary government.
The CIA, through the JLP, conducted a campaign of destabilisation against the Manley government.
Marley refused to be directly associated with Manley’s 1976 re-election campaign, but he did identify with Manley’s anti-imperialist policies.
At Manley’s request, he agreed to perform at the “Smile Jamaica” concert organised by the PNP.
In apparent retaliation, a squad of four JLP-affiliated hit men tried to assassinate Marley and his wife Rita on the eve of the concert.
Rita, with blood streaming from her scalp, only survived by playing dead at the wheel of her shot-up VW.
Marley’s manager stepped into the line of fire just as the gunman opened up, taking four bullets.
A ricochet struck Bob in the arm after grazing his chest. “If he had been inhaling instead of exhaling”, notes Salewicz, “the bullet would have gone into his heart.”
Two days later, the injured Marley performed at the concert.
A few days before the attempt on his life, Marley was visited by an official from the US embassy.
Salewicz said the official “advised the singer to tone down his lyrics, and to stop aiming at a white audience in the USA; if he didn’t, he would find his visa to enter America had been taken away”.
Whether the CIA ordered the assassination attempt or not, it is beyond doubt that the shadowy, murderous organisation was supporting right-wing elements in Jamaica that wanted anti-imperialists such as Marley dead.
There were thousands of JLP/CIA-orchestrated political killings during this period.
Having terrorised Jamaica for years, Seaga took power in 1980, severing relations with Cuba and implementing neoliberal policies.
Embracing neoliberalism, Manley returned to office with US backing in 1989.
After a succession of “business-friendly” governments, most of the island’s population remains mired in poverty.
For people of the left, Marley should be remembered as a comrade in the common struggle.
Although he mistrusted Jamaican “politricks” (with good reason) and was never an orthodox “socialist”, Marley was nothing if not a vehement critic of the global capitalist “Babylon System” — which he memorably described as “the vampire, falling empire, sucking the blood of the sufferers ... Deceiving the people continually”.
To even type those words on a keyboard, you are deeply disturbed...I will pray for you this evening.
Shifting gears...all roads lead to Brennan, this goes straight to the Oval Office, if you're paying the least bit of attention you already know that, in the next several weeks your worldview is about to be turned on its head.
Get it together, you should really speak to somebody...obviously you have no idea of the pain that is being experienced as we speak in regards to Jon & Josiah's disappearance. Seek professional help.
You're representative of the general decline of polite society...how can you proclaim to be an enlightened individual while making a mockery of a mother's grief? Don't even respond to that, get your life together. I realize anyone can put on a tie dye, or grow their hair long, or get a username and a password and claim to be a community member...you have no idea what you're discussing or you'd never in a million years type those words.
