On Nov. 16, my local newspaper, the Frederick News-Post published my letter to editor titled "Anti-Russian stance is 'dangerous propaganda.'"
I ended that letter as follows: "Of course I didn't vote for Trump. But Trump's 'outsider' status gives me some hope that he will dispense with our transparently fraudulent war-making."
Last week, on Dec. 6, Trump introduced his choice for Defense Secretary to a large crowd assembled near Fort Bragg. He then said: "We will stop racing to topple foreign regimes that we know nothing about, that we shouldn't be involved with " We don't want to have a depleted military because we're all over the place fighting in areas that we shouldn't be fighting in " We want to strengthen old friendships and seek out new friendships " [The policy of] intervention and chaos [must come to an end]."
The CIA doesn't like that type of thing.
We are now supposed to be taking seriously the CIA's word that the Russian government hacked into the Democratic National Committee's and John Podesta's e-mails, then turned them over to Wikileaks, so as to help Trump win the election, and thus take advantage of Trump's evident desire to practice cooperation with the evil Russians.
The CIA's "secret report" to this effect has surfaced just in time to possibly alter the vote in the Electoral College.
In rejecting the CIA's claim of proof as "ridiculous," Trump reminds us of the CIA's supposed proof of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Trump knows perfectly well (as should we all) that the CIA lied then on behalf of "intervention and chaos."
No President since JFK has challenged the CIA as Trump already has. There is real conclusive proof that the CIA assassinated JFK, proof that is available for all to examine. See JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters by James Douglass (2008: Simon & Schuster).
