Intelligence Community Reform Needed

This article was provided to the New York Analysis of Policy and Government by Brad Johnson, President of Americans for Intelligence Reform. Brad Johnson retired as a Senior Operations Officer and Chief of Station with the Central Intelligence Agency’s Directorate of Operations. He has served domestically and abroad with numerous assignments often during periods of armed conflict.

During the eight years of the Obama/ Biden administration, there was a huge push for political correctness. One of the main objectives of political correctness is to stifle debate so that no other opinion can ever be heard, which is always the methodology of the left and communist or socialist regimes worldwide including the left here in the United States. We are all familiar with the socialist regimes that limit and control the internet and all media including television news and newspapers. This perspective is the position of today’s Democratic party which we can see almost daily.

It is a common tactic for the left to call for a national debate on any issue but what they really mean is we should all listen to their monolog with no opportunity for other opinions or perspectives. We all saw how the IRS targeted conservative non-profit organizations to keep them quiet. This is illegal and went completely unpunished, once again we have to ask ourselves where is the FBI? Similar leftist ideology is apparent in some of the main social media outlets, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have been subpoenaed by Congress to explain their bias when they are allowed to operate under laws which require them to be neutral. The GOP has even filed a complaint against Twitter with the FEC for election interference.

Most people are probably aware that the FBI is part of the intelligence community and not just a bit player, they have a major role in the intelligence community and about a third of the FBI is dedicated to their counterintelligence department (CI) which conducts a wide variety of intelligence related activities. The remaining approximately two-thirds makes up the criminal division. Recently, a former FBI agent named Michael German surfaced again pushing a theme he has championed for years claiming there are widespread close ties between local law enforcement and right-wing violent groups and the dangers he claims this represents.

Mr. German himself is long associated with several far-left leaning political organizations and is something of a poster boy for how the political left uses propaganda to manipulate US government agencies and their information. The irony of a former FBI agent pushing the dangers of right wing groups at the exact moment left wing extremist groups such as Black Lives Matter (BLM) and ANTIFA are rioting daily in a number of major US cities, burning down many buildings, destroying businesses and the lives of many not to mention murdering or wounding law enforcement officers as well as other innocent bystanders is stunning. Mr. German makes himself look like a complete left-wing hack and in fact represents a certain level of threat to the public himself by trying to confuse people as to the actual source of danger.

However, Palmers graduates rejected his theory and competing schools were opened which included mainstream diagnosis that included spinal manipulation and other forms make viable solution for http://www.devensec.com/forms/Gas_permit_application.pdf cialis for order impotence, yet consulting a healthcare provider is essential. As well as, in response to spe online purchase viagrats depression may be beneficial inherited dysfunction, quite possibly brought on by daily life violent illnesses, otherwise stress. Nobody wants to discuss about this issue to anyone but on the other hand these cheapest viagra people have to say about a particular brand and formula before purchasing it. According to Colfax’ Senior Business Analyst Jay Michael, IFS Applications were implemented at prescription cialis the various companies on very tight timelines, sometimes as little as nine weeks.

The dangers of the right wing in the US have long heralded by many other besides Mr. German to certainly include the mainstream media and anyone associated with the Democratic party. There is one huge underlying problem that everyone needs to know about and that is that they are lying through their teeth and are perfectly aware of the fact. A recently completed 218 page two-year study written by Christopher Hull PhD. details and closely documents the malfeasance, lies and manipulations that are used to make these largely unfounded claims of dangers from the right.

While Mr. German pushes the dangers posed by local law enforcement being associated with right wing groups using information that is proven to be false, we see for ourselves on national television a very cozy relationship between ANTIFA and BLM with local law enforcement and politicians in Portland Oregon for example and other democratic controlled cities. We have all watched as innocent passerby’s or bystanders are roughed up by masked men from ANTIFA, while the local police calmly watch and do nothing.

Quick Analysis

Putin’s Saber Rattling

Earlier this week, President Biden reversed his 2022 decision, authorizing the provision of antipersonnel land mines to the Ukrainian government. It follows an earlier Administration authorization to allow the use of an advanced American missile system capable of striking as deep as 100 miles inside Russian territory. The US election season may be ending, but both Russia and the West show no indication of stepping down the conflict. Russian propaganda continues to swell as the Kremlin increases its threats to use nuclear weapons against the West. Last week Andrey Sushentsov, program director of the pro-Kremlin think tank Valdai Discussion Club (VDC), published an article on growing nuclear tensions in the region. Official Russian language in the last few years has been threatening. Since the US election, rhetoric like that in the Sushentsov article, has approached the level of nuclear blackmail. The VDC article’s main theme centers on Russia’s intent to directly confront the West militarily if the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) becomes involved in Russia’s conflict with Ukraine. “On the one hand, these threats are intended to frighten the West, but on the other, Russian propagandists themselves are starting to believe in the inevitability of escalation,” according to Ksenia Kirillova of the Jamestown Foundation. On November 11, Sushentsov wrote that “The conflict will reach a completely new level, with unpredictable consequences for Europe and the entire world.” Kirillova points out that Putin’s distorted image of the world is divorced from reality and is causing the Kremlin to issue demands that are impossible to fulfill. Financial and other Russian resources needed to support Putin’s war are growing scarcer at the same time. This week the Kremlin announced a reduction of payments to its soldiers. Recently North Korea acknowledged it was sending soldiers to fight in Ukraine as Putin is running out of bodies to use as cannon fire. The war is not going well for Russia. One question floating around the Washington intelligence community is whether Putin will act out of desperation before President-elect Trump assumes office. In recent months the Russian propaganda machine is spewing out materials from fairly reputable analytical platforms inside the country. Kirillova says that “Kremlin ‘experts’ do not conceal that such threats are only intended to break the West psychologically, as they themselves are not prepared for full-scale nuclear war.” Despite Russia’s lack of preparation for an all-out war with the West, the expanding nuclear rhetoric carries with it an increase in the threat of a full-scale war in multiple theaters of operation. In June 2023 a founder of the Russian Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, Sergey Karaganov, called for “delivering a pre-emptive strike of retaliation” on Poland to force the West to surrender. In the previous month, Dmitry Suslov, a direct of research programs at the policy center proposed organizing “a demonstration nuclear explosion” aimed at intimidating the West. In September, President Putin announced a reappraisal of Russian nuclear doctrine after speaking earlier in the year at the plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum and jokingly calling Suslov a “scary person.” Pavel Baev, writing in the European Daily Monitor, says “Putin intends his announcement to mark an escalation of nuclear brinkmanship and influence the proceedings of future Ukrainian peace efforts.” Putin is expanding the list of environmental conditions that are acceptable for using a nuclear weapon and incorporating it into Russian military doctrine. Baev adds that “The ups and downs of Russian brinkmanship are disconnected from the kinetic battles of the war, correlating instead with Ukrainian peace offensives, such as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s first peace summit in Bürgenstock, Switzerland.” Despite the increase in vitriolic language, in a You Tube video published a week before the US presidential election, Karaganov openly assured the West the primary goal of the escalation is to break the American spirit and that of the West, not outright nuclear war. By Election Day in the US, with political prognosticators predicting a win for former president Trump, Karaganov changed his tune and called for an increased role in nuclear deterrence. Kirillova points out that Western concessions to Russia are unlikely to reduce the risk of nuclear escalation. The distorted reality inside the Kremlin continues to push that President-elect Trump is an adherent of “world government,” that Ukraine will create a nuclear weapon, and Russia must prepare for a nuclear conflagration to achieve its ambitions for a new world order. President-elect Trump has indicated he will not agree to concessions that destabilize Europe, the Middle East or other regions. Going forward a strong US foreign policy may be the most stabilizing course the West can count on to restrain Putin and his intent to rebuild the Russian empire.
