America's intelligence agents use 'psychological profiling'
and manipulation to 'control the president', a CIA whistleblower
has claimed.
John Kiriakou admitted the agency uses basic deception tactics
against the commander-in-chief as he was probed about operations
and 'deep state' agenda during a recent sit down on The Tucker
Carlson Show.
He alleged that although the president appoints the director,
the agency's long-serving agents are actually hold the power.
Kiriakou, who claims 'top level' agents 'really love' when a
president-elect has 'no background in intelligence or foreign
policy', said the CIA begins its efforts to control the president
before he is even given keys to the White House.
'The day after an election the director of the CIA authorizes
a president-elect to begin receiving a PDB - a president's
daily brief,' he told Carlson.
'They go with this 16-page document marked at six levels
above top secret and they say "Mr President-elect wait
until you see the cool things we're doing all around the
world." And they've sucked him in. They've made him
one of the guys.'
Kiriakou claims agents eagerly feed the president
classified information and then analyze his reactions
to information they've provided.
. . .
At least SOME of this is probably true.
On the flip, be VERY VERY careful of ANYTHING
on a Tucker Carlson show. Tuck AIN'T RIGHT
anymore.
Remember what was said about "presidents" in
"Hitchhikers Guide" ? Maybe not THAT far off.
Presidents are almost never scholars - their
skill is in persuasion. True, false, whatever ...
they don't know or care. Joe sure as hell
knew NOTHING anymore.
Pretending to let new presidents "in" is a
brilliant psych ploy by the way.
There's a HUGE diff between 'consumer politics'
and REALPOLITIK. Mostly presidents will only
deal, be aware of, the former. The REAL shit
happens well behind the scenes - read yer
Machiavelli ... as true now as ever.
