SOTN Editor’s Note:<\/strong>
\nThe following article is only being posted at SOTN in order that readers can come to appreciate the sheer idiocracy that the Central Intelligence Agency has come to be.<\/p>\n

Quite frankly, you can’t can’t even find people this stupid; unless, of course, they are paid handsomely to sound so incredibly stupid. \u00a0This is a former acting director and deputy director that is mouthing off about Trump because the GOP candidate poses a very real threat to CIA job security, as he should.<\/p>\n

Remember, we’re talking about The Company<\/em>, as the CIA is known in intelligence circles. ‘Companies’ like this know that everyone can be bought and paid for. \u00a0They can especially be bribed and\/or blackmailed to say incredibly stupid things to the mainstream media, the CIA’s primary organ of propaganda dissemination.<\/p>\n

Former CIA Head Accuses Trump Of Being “An Unwitting Agent Of Russia”, Here’s What He Did Not Say<\/h1>\n

ZeroHedge.com<\/p>\n

\n

Former acting director and deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 2010 to 2013<\/strong>, Michael Morell has penned a NYTimes’ Op-Ed endorsing Hillary Clinton and claiming “Mr. Putin has recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

But as one commenter details, while Michael Morell portrays himself as some sort of bipartisan warrior, this is not true.<\/strong> He\u2019s been vying for a position in a potential Hillary Clinton administration for three years now. Since he won’t disclose his close ties with Hillary Clinton, we will…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\n

<\/div>\n

He was an active participant in painting the Benghazi attacks as caused by YouTube video<\/strong>. When Hillary Clinton says ‘best information provided by the intelligence community” she is referring to her man in the CIA: Michael Morel Morell was the CIA official who crafted the “talking points” on Benghazi<\/strong> with the Obama White House according to his own testimony in 2014 to Congress. In emails later uncovered by Congress, CIA Director David Petraeus called the resulting talking-point language ‘useless.’<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2013, he left the CIA to join a Wash DC consultancy group with strong links to Hillary Clinton. <\/strong>Beacon Global Strategies, Morell’s employer, is a ten-person firm whose co-founders include Philippe Reines, a senior counselor to Hillary Clinton when she ran the State Department. Reines is still her spokesman, serving in that capacity in what New York magazine calls ‘a second full-time job. \u201cAnd if she runs again… Reines will be onboard,\u201d the magazine concluded in Ferbruary 2014. Meaning that Morell, as a senior official at Beacon, will also likely be part of the Clinton spin machine.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So with that in mind, here is Morell’s Op-Ed<\/a> “I Ran the C.I.A. Now I’m Endorsing Hillary Clinton”…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

During a 33-year career at the Central Intelligence Agency, I served presidents of both parties \u2014 three Republicans and three Democrats. I was at President George W. Bush\u2019s side when we were attacked on Sept. 11; as deputy director of the agency, I was with President Obama when we killed Osama bin Laden in 2011.<\/p>\n

I am neither a registered Democrat nor a registered Republican.<\/strong> In my 40 years of voting, I have pulled the lever for candidates of both parties. As a government official, I have always been silent about my preference for president.<\/p>\n

No longer. On Nov. 8, I will vote for Hillary Clinton. Between now and then, I will do everything I can to ensure that she is elected as our 45th president.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two strongly held beliefs have brought me to this decision. First, Mrs. Clinton is highly qualified to be commander in chief. I trust she will deliver on the most important duty of a president \u2014 keeping our nation safe. Second, Donald J. Trump is not only unqualified for the job, but he may well pose a threat to our national security.<\/strong><\/u><\/em><\/p>\n

I spent four years working with Mrs. Clinton when she was secretary of state, most often in the White House Situation Room. In these critically important meetings, I found her to be prepared, detail-oriented, thoughtful, inquisitive and willing to change her mind if presented with a compelling argument.<\/p>\n

I also saw the secretary\u2019s commitment to our nation\u2019s security; her belief that America is an exceptional nation that must lead in the world for the country to remain secure and prosperous<\/strong>; her understanding that diplomacy can be effective only if the country is perceived as willing and able to use force if necessary; and, most important, her capacity to make the most difficult decision of all \u2014 whether to put young American women and men in harm\u2019s way.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Clinton was an early advocate of the raid that brought Bin Laden to justice<\/strong>, in opposition to some of her most important colleagues on the National Security Council. During the early debates about how we should respond to the Syrian civil war, she was a strong proponent of a more aggressive approach, one that might have prevented the Islamic State from gaining a foothold in Syria.<\/p>\n

I never saw her bring politics into the Situation Room<\/strong><\/u>. In fact, I saw the opposite. When some wanted to delay the Bin Laden raid by one day because the White House Correspondents Dinner might be disrupted, she said, \u201cScrew the White House Correspondents Dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n

In sharp contrast to Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Trump has no experience on national security.<\/strong> Even more important, the character traits he has exhibited during the primary season suggest he would be a poor, even dangerous, commander in chief.<\/p>\n

These traits include his obvious need for self-aggrandizement, his overreaction to perceived slights, his tendency to make decisions based on intuition, his refusal to change his views based on new information, his routine carelessness with the facts, his unwillingness to listen to others and his lack of respect for the rule of law.<\/p>\n

The dangers that flow from Mr. Trump\u2019s character are not just risks that would emerge if he became president. It is already damaging our national security.<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia was a career intelligence officer, trained to identify vulnerabilities in an individual and to exploit them. That is exactly what he did early in the primaries. Mr. Putin played upon Mr. Trump\u2019s vulnerabilities by complimenting him. He responded just as Mr. Putin had calculated.<\/p>\n

Mr. Putin is a great leader, Mr. Trump says, ignoring that he has killed and jailed journalists and political opponents, has invaded two of his neighbors and is driving his economy to ruin. Mr. Trump has also taken policy positions consistent with Russian, not American, interests \u2014 endorsing Russian espionage against the United States, supporting Russia\u2019s annexation of Crimea and giving a green light to a possible Russian invasion of the Baltic States.<\/p>\n

In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump has also undermined security with his call for barring Muslims from entering the country. This position, which so clearly contradicts the foundational values of our nation, <\/strong>plays into the hands of the jihadist narrative that our fight against terrorism is a war between religions.<\/p>\n

In fact, many Muslim Americans play critical roles in protecting our country,<\/strong> including the man, whom I cannot identify, who ran the C.I.A.\u2019s Counterterrorism Center for nearly a decade and who I believe is most responsible for keeping America safe since the Sept. 11 attacks.<\/p>\n

My training as an intelligence officer taught me to call it as I see it. This is what I did for the C.I.A. This is what I am doing now. Our nation will be much safer with Hillary Clinton as president.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

*\u00a0 *\u00a0 *<\/p>\n

So the words of an ultimate insider confirm the Hillary is ‘best and brightest’, no matter her track record, and Trump is the devil in the pocket of Putin. Perhaps a simpler explanation of the choices (over and above the ‘war’ or ‘peace’ decision we noted<\/strong><\/em><\/a>), as Lizzie363 summarized so succinctly, Hillary Clinton is controllable by The CIA. Trump is not… Therefore it’s the institutionalized corrupt candidate you know vs. insanity you don’t.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
