So tell us ALL where you're getting your National Intelligence from?

If you don't believe the Thousands and Thousands of NSC Professionals in The 17 Intelligance Communities, then "who" are the people you will believe?

From your link:




Congressional staffers who require access to intelligence in connection with their official duties receive security clearances based on background investigations conducted by the FBI. They are not required to take polygraphs. As a general rule, only committee staffers receive clearances; those in Members' personal offices do not.


By contrast, the other "national security" committees receive copies of the NID and the MID but must request copies of other finished intelligence (including NIEs) from lists that are regularly provided by the principal production agencies (CIA and DIA). These lists are keyed to the particular jurisdiction and level of clearance of each committee. At this juncture, none of these committees has electronic access to intelligence reporting.

) If they refuse/don't take the oath they aren't cleared to receive the intelligence reports. Leave the sematics to others, you don't play it well.

2) I'm sorry allow me to clear that up. Without reporting to the appropriate oversight committee in a nonpartisan way, at least the ranking members, it is meaningless. Hope that clears things up a bit for you.

President to intel head..."I believe that the Serbs are responsible for the deaths of perhaps 100,000 or more innocent Albanians who they have buried in mass graves." If the intel head says "absolutely sir you are 100% correct and now all we have to do is get the media on our side and we can intervene on behalf of the innocent Albanians who should have their own state." But if the intel head were to say "Mr. president, there is no evidence that what you believe is what is happening. Its true there are bad feelings between the two sides that were allowed to come out after the break up of the USSR but its pretty much a two way street with hard core Serbs on one side and Albanian narco-terrorists on the other side. The two sides have probably murdered about 7500 each and they probably are buried in mass graves. Definitely not something that rises to the level of our intervening, not to mention that it would be unconstitutional." If that intel head had said that he would be replaced by someone that fit the presidents belief. As it turned out in this case the second opinion of the "intel head" turned out to be the truth and in consequence we went in and killed about 7500 Serbs and destroyed much of their infrastructure.

It didn't have to be shared with the PEOTUS. It should have been shared with the House and Senate Intelligence Committees.

Punting/equivocating with your claim of "that's all part of it too" is unacceptable. It's NOT.

Greetings Mr. Happy and Happy New Year. Good to see it got kicked off on the right foot.

Am I supposed to be happy when you say stupid things? Are you happy that it gives you an opportunity to deflect instead of address my rebuttal?

Yes. They referred to having identified those who gave the info to Wkileaks. Whether the are the hackers or no I'm not sure but they were all part of the same apparatus supported by the Russians as Clapper said at the highest levels.

Certainly you can't deny WMDs in Iraq and the lies we were told. Maybe you had no bone in that fight, but many Americans lost family members either in the war or in the lack of care and PTSD.

But you don't know that. You have no idea, at all.

Correct. I'm simply repeating what was said in the hearing.

So tell us ALL where you're getting your National Intelligence from?

If you don't believe the Thousands and Thousands of NSC Professionals in The 17 Intelligance Communities, then "who" are the people you will believe?

I believe in observation. How do you trust agencies that have lied and spied to and on you? You would like to believe that because we call these people professionals they are capable and honest to the American people. But in fact they are trained in the art of lying , half truths and disinformation. Do you really think they turn that off for the American people? C'mon man!

But wasn't it the intelligence community who gave the neocons possibilities they believed a grave danger?

So you are just going to pretend that video isn't about Bush / Cheney / and The Neocons?

I bet you can't even try looking at the Video without denying it as any truth.

Have a nice Weekend.

I definitely think you have a point. I agree that they have and continue to keep things from the American people. So the question for me comes down to who do I mistrust more. Who does it benefit if the country implodes as we seem to be in the process of doing. This allegiance with Russia is very disturbing to me. I don't see how this anti American movement by some will benefit our country in the long run. I'm very nervous that we're only making ourselves more vulnerable by refusing to believe anything our government says.

Maddow's opinion is not fact.

I'm basing my opinion on memory of the time. I disagree with the Iraq Wars, start to now, but don't think there were lies presented.

They get it from Comrade Trumpf of course ...

He taught them many things that they didn't know yesterday! :grin:

Trump met with CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey and other officials at his New York offices. He says of the officials, “I really like those people a lot” and he believes they also learned from the discussion.

You do what a Narator is ... ? :huh:

If you don't want to believe the people who are talking, that's your choice. But I'm betting their investigative reporters are a lot closer to the facts than your Memory.

I just gotta ask..... can you name the 17 you speak of?

There are only 16 that I know of.......

By the way of those 16, 1 does not collect any of it's own intel, 5 would have very little input if any at all to this issue, 5 more are DOD so again not really their main focus.

The "intelligence" gurus have been lying about most stuff for many decades including their support for some spectacular lies such as the "magic bullet" lie, "Gulf of Tonkin" lie, "pan cake theory" lie, "Israelis are our friends" lie, "Iraq, Syria, Yugoslavia, Libya, Somalia, Iran are our enemies" lies etc.

Since they are habitual liars, go ahead and believe them now. You will get exactly what you want. Lies.
