What Donald Trump is Telling You<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

by\u00a0Anna von Reitz<\/span><\/p>\n

The past few days have been rife with controversy about Donald Trump, and particularly, Donald Trump\u2019s supposed feud with the CIA, which the Mainstream Media is busily promoting as a Big Deal.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Trump actually saying, from his own mouth?<\/span><\/p>\n

1. The CIA doesn\u2019t really know that Russia hacked anything about Hillary Clinton.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. That he doesn\u2019t need to be told the same things day after day as a briefing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. The information he is receiving has become politicized \u2013 tweaked and groomed to serve political agendas rather than being served up straight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Okay, well, let\u2019s just take Donald Trump at his word.\u00a0 He has heard what the CIA had as proof that the Russians did anything wrong, and in his opinion, the proof was lacking.\u00a0 So he has asked for further investigation into the matter to get to the bottom of it and find out where the proverbial Bear went — or did not go \u2013 through the buckwheat.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s just common sense.\u00a0 That\u2019s nothing controversial.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, more interestingly, he let you know what all those Presidential briefings really consist of— repetitious pap: \u201cNorth Korea bad. Iran bad.\u00a0 Iraq unstable\u2026 oil prices up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The CIA briefing he gets every morning is a waste of his time is what he is telling you, and for several reasons, that should be alarming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First, it should be alarming because you are footing the bill to the tune of billions of dollars invested in CIA operations worldwide to keep the government tuned in to what is going on behind the scenes.\u00a0 If all the President gets in return is information that any fool can get from a news reader service, it\u2019s time to pull the plug.<\/span><\/p>\n

Second, it should be alarming because there is actually a need for more intensive and directed news gathering activity than what is available through CNN.\u00a0 If that isn\u2019t happening and the CIA isn\u2019t doing it, then the real job of keeping our ears to the ground isn\u2019t getting done—and that is worse than simply being ineffective.<\/span><\/p>\n

Third, the boring sameness of the reports indicates that no real data analysis is going on.\u00a0 Proper data analysis always yields useful results.\u00a0 The results of any real data gathering would be interesting and leading to new questions— but that isn\u2019t happening.<\/span><\/p>\n

I can take the five-year averages of pork belly futures traded on the commodity exchanges of the world and turn that into a truly interesting analysis of world economic and political changes over the same time period.\u00a0 If the CIA isn\u2019t doing as much, we are in a heap of trouble.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, and most damning, the information Donald Trump is receiving from the CIA has been laundered and tailored to fit a political agenda instead of presenting facts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Donald Trump is telling you that the CIA alters the facts to suit political agendas \u2013 to get desired results out of the President and manipulate his office and his decision-making process \u2013 rather than being a trustworthy source of factual information the President can rely on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of all the problems presented by what Donald Trump has told you, the American people, this last one should really leave your ears burning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If the CIA is serving up politicized information, who or what is driving the political agenda behind the CIA\u2019s editing process?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Political parties?\u00a0 Members of Congress?\u00a0 Lobbyists? \u00a0Or some Guru of the George Soros kind?<\/span><\/p>\n

If the President isn\u2019t getting the straight skinny from the CIA, we need to scrap the whole operation and start over.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the President is being fed doctored information, he\u2019s playing blind\u00a0in a game where billions of lives are at stake.<\/span><\/p>\n

We don\u2019t even know who is doing the stacking of his deck\u00a0or why, but two things are certain: (1) Donald Trump is President-Elect and he has no reason to lie about what he is directly experiencing; (2) we are paying for it. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
