Crisis in Intelligence and the Way Forward Korea IT Times October 21, 2021 Emanuel Pastreich 1. Making the Information Crisis into an Opportunity for Brave Reform The crisis in intelligence in the United States has reached an extreme today as the multitude of contractors that feed on massive, and often obscure, budget, clamor to be fed without any concern for the long-term interests of the citizens of the United States, the constitution that defines that nation, or the security of our brittle planet.
This chicken and egg question is hard, impossible, to resolve. Perhaps it is better to say that I imagine a world in which we could have a limited government that actually works for the benefit of the people. If you think that is impossible, then many of my statements obviously will not make sense. Basically multinational corporations are also governments, a special kind of highly profitable fascism.
Hi Emmanuel - just read your article delivered on 9/11/23. Brilliant. Would you like to come on the podcast RichardGage911:Unleashed! soon and discuss those very important concepts? The website is https://richardgage911.org
With awareness of the apparently comprehensive institutional meltdown across the West, it was difficult to read this article.
Not wishing to strangle any new initiative or idea. Just let us observe that reform of the most powerful governmental agencies from within is either 1) a realistic one, and which people like you are hardly likely to influence in this media environment, as it is very different from, say, the 1930s or the 1960s 2) just something that is without basis in reality. Given the regular claims of former CIA insiders like Phil Giraldi and John Kiriakou, the latter looks more likely.
It's possible that we, the whole world, are first going to experience a crash, before a sufficient awakening that would lead to substantial institutional improvements. And such a crash, if the past and present are any guide, would have to affect the power elites more than Vietnam, fake elections, the plandemic*, and the current rise of the mortality rates for 10% in America.
Steven Starr warns that even a limited thermonuclear war would have catastrophic environmental consequences for the whole world, with estimates of around a billion dead worldwide.**
That might fit the bill. Though, even after major wars and crises in the past two centuries, the post-war reforms have been only partially successful and good. That is a result of systemic reasons, outlined by e.g. Darren Allen in his essay The Myth of Reform.
(**) However, those are claims based on models, and the author on statistics and probability William A. Briggs warns us that 'all models only say what they're told to say.'
Hopefully this doesn't sound too heavy on references, and pretentious :)
Before you write an article, next time, do some research and find out what you are writing about. I comprehend that you so much want to rule over us that you don't care if ignorance gets in the way. The OSS, NSA, and CIA were initiated by Truman in 1947 as he created them by importing Nazi SS agents, 5000 of them into the agency. Donovan, the first director, was garbage, Dulles, the first recognized director, had been a bankers lawyer for wealthy Nazis. You are so damn ignorant. Intelligence has never been good. They began to make a bogeyman of Russia from the start due to the Germans within the ranks. Stop pretending to be for the people, stop pretending to be capable of thinking on your own, and stop pretending to be knowledgeable of history. Furthermore, no "creator" (I was made by my parents having sex) made me, and I have innate rights, as a human being. No "creator" gave me rights that can be taken away. You need to start to think beyond your Ivy League college you are so proud to be a graduate of, and man up and realize that you are not deserving to be president any more than the other privileged dominant class creeps who want to lord over us.
Big Tech has become an appendage of the Intelligence Communities and the Government at Large, not the other way round. Granted it is hard to tell at times who is on first, but if you just take the Twitter Files as our best and most illuminated recent example, it was Twitter that was seen as most anxious to do the bidding of the FBI and the censorious government apparatchiks who had the most to lose from the light of truth being shined on any number of weighty subjects. The Big Tech firms, like all Fortune 500 companies, will do the bidding of their biggest customers, whether they be Chinese purchasers of Billions of dollars worth of jet aircraft, or the US government, which holds sway for Billions In government contracts, and perhaps more important even than that, holds the keys to a flourishing viability, a glorious future, in the form of advantageous regulations, the promise of future contracts and an always favorable place in line. It is indeed a symbiotic relationship, as Fascistic arrangements always are, but there is a 1-2 pecking order that should not be confused.

(*) to qualify the term 'plandemic': (https://denisrancourt.ca/entries.php?id=116&name=2022_08_02_covid_period_mass_vaccination_campaign_and_public_health_disaster_in_the_usa)

This was a message from Eastern Europe.

Methinks you have it backwards.
