One of the biggest takeaways from the recent election,, a real eye-opener for me, is that the CIA, FBI - all the 3-letter agencies of the DOJ - are not (and have never been) the "good guys", the white hats supposedly battling enemies foreign and domestic. Rather, they ARE the enemies, foreign and domestic. They have actively enabled foreign bad actors eg China to wrest control of the levers of power. They ARE the "black hats" and probably have been so since their inception. I can't think of a single good thing they've done for this country. Mexican cartels are more honorable in my mind. When someone like Trump is able to beat a rigged system, confound the monolithic forces of power, and win the office of the President - to upset the applecart and actually accomplish significant positive change - he has become enemy #1 for these evil agencies.

Gee, not the people responsible for Operation Mockingbird and CHAOS? I'm sure they'd never aid in overthrowing an election.

They cut all that behavior out after Guatemala, Laos, Haiti, Ecuador, Brazil, Indonesia, Dominican Republic, Congo, Camobida, Bolivia, Chile, Angola, El Salvador, Iran/Contra, Panama..

C'mon guys, don't be ridiculous.

The CIA and others have been in control of our country. That’s why Trump said he is running to give America back to the people.

Democracy in America is a mirage, leftists like Noam Chomsky have been saying this for years. If you read Understanding Power, you will see how this happened and how the cia has been used throughout the world, to overthrow democracy.

Our elections are about choosing from a list of approved candidates. We lost our Republic a long time ago. Trump is our last chance to get it back.

Didn't Snowden say it was like an open secret within the CIA?

Not sure, but Snowden worked and leaked from within the NSA. Some people speculate that Snowden did so as a CIA asset to weaken the NSA. The NSA did offer Comey all of Hillary’s emails and communications, including the deleted ones.
