Their HQ address is public. There were some mofos playing Pokémon go around there last spring. Why don't you go organize a protest out there and shut them down.

I disagree. The world is not a nice place. Other countries don't play fair, neither should we. I am certain there are all kinds of nasty things the CIA does that the public will never know about and I am ok with that.

Bay of Pigs, WMD's, etc...the list of treasonous acts is very long.....This agency is not about America's interest...They do the work for the globalist and MIC. Donald Trump ran on the promise to put America's interest first...CIA has to be eliminated.


Another little damning factoid is that the CIA had no idea that the USSR was about to collapse. How did they miss that?

Overstated.
National security, defense and war are all built on basis of economics. That is never more true than in the case of a cold war. Reagan recognized that, as did the CIA. We spent (and bluffed, aka SDI) the USSR into oblivion. When a win is inevitable, speed and nature of enemy collapse is the only question. CIA analysis was off in timeframe of the latter, mainly because speed of collapse was on one far extreme of a predictable range.

The problem with our current CIA is leadership, oversight, and response to both.

The very things we criticize dictators around the world for is exactly the kind of behavior that the CIA engages in. And CIA actions around the world have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. If you feel that these acts are ok, don't criticize foreign governments for aggressive wars or human rights violations.

This can't be done. The best Trump can do is remove the spook bosses and replace them and then possibly have the bosses gut each dept from within and re hire.

Why do we need a CIA and an NSA?
