The Untold Story About Obama's Former CIA Director, John Brennan
Posted on 9/10/18 at 12:43 am
Posted on 9/10/18 at 12:43 am
"Former CIA veteran Sam Faddis is one of the few people brave enough and with the integrity required, that has stood up and told some of the real truths about Brennan in an ‘Open Letter’, yet this letter’s contents have hardly at all been reported in the media.
Generally by nature, CIA Officers sense of service and honour to their Country, their professionalism and humility, and disdain for publicity has dissuaded most of them to enter the current very public Brennan controversy; but for how much longer?
As stated earlier, former CIA professional Sam Faddis explains what’s wrong with Brennan in his revealing letter originally published in AND Magazine, abbreviated for space below.
Dear Mr. Brennan,
I implore you to cease and desist from continuing to attempt to portray yourself in the public media as some sort of impartial critic concerned only with the fate of the republic. I beg you to stop attempting to portray yourself as some sort of wise, all-knowing intelligence professional with deep knowledge of national security issues and no political inclinations whatsoever.
None of this is true.
You were never a spy. You were never a case officer. You never ran operations or recruited sources or worked the streets abroad. You have no idea whatsoever of the true nature of the business of human intelligence. You have never been in harm’s way. You have never heard a shot fired in anger.
You were for a short while an intelligence analyst. In that capacity, it was your job to produce finished intelligence based on information provided to you by others. The work of intelligence analysts is important, however in truth you never truly mastered this trade either.
In your capacity as an analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency, while still a junior officer, you were designated to brief the President of the United States who was at that time Bill Clinton. As the presidential briefer, it was your job to read to the president each morning finished intelligence written by others based on intelligence collected by yet other individuals. Period.
While serving as presidential briefer you established a personal relationship with then President Bill Clinton. End of story.
Everything that has transpired in your professional career since has been based on your personal relationship with the former president, his wife Hillary and their key associates. Your connection to President Obama was, in fact, based on you having established yourself by the time he came to office as a reliable, highly political Democratic Party functionary.
All of your commentary in the public sphere is on behalf of your political patrons. It is no more impartial analysis then would be the comments of a paid press spokesman or attorney. You are speaking each and every time directly on behalf of political forces hostile to this president. You are, in fact, currently on the payroll of both NBC and MSNBC, two of the networks most vocally opposed to President Trump and his agenda.
There is no impartiality in your comments. Your assessments are not based on some sober judgment of what is best for this nation. They are based exclusively on what you believe to be in the best interests of the politicians with whom you long since allied yourself.
It should be noted that not only are you most decidedly not apolitical but that you have been associated during your career with some of the greatest foreign policy disasters in recent American history.
Ever since this President was elected, there has been a concerted effort to delegitimize him and destabilize him led by you. This has been an unprecedented; to undermine the stability of the republic and the office of the Presidency, for solely partisan political reasons. You and your patrons have been complicit in this effort and at its very heart.
You abandoned any hope of being a true intelligence professional decades ago and became a political hack."

Amen ... now let's see the NY Times post that letter on their editorial page.
I swear to gosh it is just about time to start hanging some of these deep staters for treason. What else do you call some of them who are openly acting to undermine and overthrow a duly elected (by the people) POTUS.

frick John Brennan, one of the worst, most evil pieces of shite to ever be a part of the US government.
Posted on 9/10/18 at 2:31 am to Volkosoby
So proud of this brave patriot for speaking out about this political hack John Brennan who wants nothing more than to attack and undermine the duly elected POTUS. I wish more CI insiders would find the courage to do the same. And of course the partisan MSM will not report on it.

Another stupid post when you cannot refute the story
Did the guy work for the cia?

frick this guy, in particular. Brennan is the epitome of a swamp creature who must be eradicated with extreme prejudice.
The tale of John Brennan is just beginning to be told, and when it's done, this guy is going to make Benedict Arnold look worthy of a spot on Mount Rushmore.
There are those who are more worthy of seeing hang for treason, but none I want to go first on principle like I do Brennan.

I like this guy's writing, very powerful and precise.

So, Zero Hedge found a CIA professional who does not like Brennan. Good for them, but it sounds like this a a classic case of the rivalry between case officers and analysts. The latter think that the former are cowboys, and the former think that the latter are REMFs. This rivalry is not news.
He started with the CIA in 1980. By the time he was assigned to brief Billy Jeff, he had been with the agency as an analyst for 14 years. Hardly the inexperienced neophyte described in that letter.
After less than two years briefing Billy Jeff, he goes back to HQ for about a year and then spends three years as Station Chief in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. That is a pretty “hands on” job.
From Jeddah, he returns to HQ, where he serves until given a political appointment by the Bush-43 administration, where he serves another two years before entering the private sector.
Do his personal politics lean Left? Almost certainly. Does he dislike and distrust Trump? Clearly.
But lets not pretend that one is any less an intelligence professional because his job was analyzing data rather than gathering it. That is like saying that Nick Saban cannot be a good coach simply because he never played pro ball.
quote:So, early in his career Brennan was Jack Ryan rather than John Clark. OK.

Jack Ryan would have never voted for a commie son

Wish he’d included Brennan’s membership in American Communist Party
