In 1976 former CIA director, John Brennan, voted for the Communist Party candidate for US President, Gus Hall.
Brennan asserts that his vote was due to his disillusionment with the US government after the Watergate scandal.
Although he claims to have revealed this during the CIA hiring process in 1980, I have a hard time buying that, 1) He had such a change of heart in just four short years that he makes the leap from voting for the party that wanted to destroy the US to feeling so patriotic that he felt the calling to serve the very government he didn’t trust in 1976.
And, 2) Who were the people making the hiring decisions in 1980, to allow an avowed communist sympathizer to get hired by the CIA?
Why was he not shown the door IMMEDIATELY?
Are any of these people, or their protégé’s, still employed at the CIA?
Socialists and communists have long sought to infiltrate western governments, particularly the US, with deep cover operatives, aka “Moles”.
Kim Philby, one of the most notorious Russian spies in British history, was recruited in college as a disillusioned youth and subsequently hired by British intelligence.
This is not something new for the Russian government or the KGB.
Reports indicate that John Brennan treated the office of CIA Director more like something one would expect to see out of the KGB.
Recruiting foreign intelligence agencies to approach Trump campaign associates in order to justify surveilling said associates and having the FBI investigate them, and goes on to become a darling of the leftist media.
The propaganda machine and deep state are in full swing as they try desperately to retain power and persecute their political opponents.
As Andrey Vyshinsky once said, “Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime”.
Vyshinskey was the state prosecutor under Joseph Stalin who ran the trials of those Stalin felt were disloyal to the state or political opponents.
Sound familiar?
Leftist ideological prosecutors seeking to fulfill an agenda by going after those that stand in opposition to the ruling class?
