Pentagon Weighs Cutting Most of Its Support to CIA’s Counterterrorism Missions
December 11th, 2020Something big is going down with Trump vs. CIA.
My guess is that CIA can draw upon endless cutouts and private contractors to keep doing whatever it is that Trump is trying to stop.
CIA is out of control. It has been for decades. It should have never had a paramilitary covert operations capability.
Emboldened by the early coups after its formation, the use of that covert infrastructure expanded into other activities. The JFK assassination. Iran-Contra/Cocaine (never forget the cocaine). 9/11. Decade after decade, the MOCKINGBIRD media has been there to make it all right as rain.
Good luck with trying to get that genie back in the bottle.
Via: ABC:
In a surprising move, the Pentagon has told the Central Intelligence Agency that it is weighing an end to the majority of the military support it provides to the agency’s counterterrorism missions, according to a former senior administration intelligence official.
It is unclear how the decision would impact the spy agency’s worldwide counterterrorism missions that often rely on the U.S. military for logistical support and personnel.
Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller sent a letter to CIA Director Gina Haspel outlining the decision, according to the former official, who characterized the action as both surprising and unprecedented.

This is massive. Fletcher Prouty’s ‘The Secret Team’ had no references but was highly convincing and the big takeaway was that this is how CIA operated: it had access to the full logistics and, if necessary, combat capability of the US military. They could operate out of military bases, task special forces teams, supposedly even borrow combat jets for courier missions if required! If this sticks, it pulls the teeth from the CIA.
The whole ‘plausible deniability’ thing makes the CIA a state within a state such that there is no central source of authority in the United States. For seventy-five years, at a high level, the United States has been in anarchy.
Prouty is absolutely the real deal.
I learned about Prouty by hearing radio interviews in the early 1990s. These played on a station in L.A. starting at around 3am on Thursday mornings.

I actually linked to Prouty himself re: difficulty of getting the genie back in the bottle.
I love that Daniel/Dark Journalist, called this out a week ago. I often watch him and just go “is this really all going on while everyone sits back and argues over blue or red, all lives matter, black lives matter”? And with the mockingbird media now hiring “ex spooks” (ha, if that’s not an oxymoron), and the blatant censorship going on and blacklisting of truthers & whistle-blowers, this country is most certainly a failed democracy (I’d say we have been for at least for 75 years, maybe more). We have, in the words of George Carlin “the illusion” of freedom. “It’s called the American dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.”
But this won’t last. The next administration will go back to things as usual, start some new wars, put all the progressives back to sleep, and all will be right with the warmongering congress who will continue to prop up dictators & despots, and the like.
For more background on the CIA, I found the “Death is just around the corner” podcast (especially the JFK assassination five part series) to be very illuminating. I’m only part way into it, but the host seems to have a worthwhile perspective on it.
