I can't find another post to link this to,

but have you considered addressing the problems evident in FBI intel analyst Dr. Brian Auten's treatment of .... well, just about everything.

He's everywhere. Steele dossier, Mueller investigation, approving and pressing for FISAs, spiking the investigation of Hunter Biden's laptop, you name it, he's somehow connected.

There's something not right about Auten. Spent some hours poking around today, and can't find a bio.

The very limit bits and pieces of his career make me believe he was in the IC before FBI. His background and detailed research are heavily defense / arms control, for which the FBI traditionally has no responsibility.

My thesis is he laterally transferred or got a promotion into the FBI from a position in the IC.

If so that wouldn't be surprising. It happens a lot.

Yes. I know.

But I think it would be surprising to the average US voter.

Especially the ones that already suspect

“Once a spook,

always a spook.”

I wondered if the new found interest in the Fed CCP influence was a reflection of Tom Luongo's thinking that the Fed is aligned against Davos, and by extension, the FBI. We're witnessing an effort to tarnish the Fed in real time.

D.C. needs to be disassembled, and all the agencies spread out into the interior of the country, and investigative power into the federal government needs to be devolved directly into the state governments. The main problem with watching the watchguards of government is that any criminal behavior inside the federal government gets investigated by that same government and tried inside the boundaries of D.C. whose jury pools are 90%+ Democrats. The FBI might behave better if they could be criminally investigated by, let's say, the State AG of Nebraska and tried in Nebraska.

Right now, any politically active Democrat operative in the federal bureaucracy is pretty safe in committing crimes because they are very unlikely to get investigated, and even if they are, their trial will take place in a jurisdiction where being a Democrat is a get out jail free card.

I have written more than once on-line that this ends with politicians and bureaucrats hanging from lampposts. I am, no doubt, on the Domestic Terrorist list somewhere in the bowels of the FBI and Homeland security, and proudly so.

I'm currently listening to recent conversations on The Duran. They're discussing the increasingly dicey situation in the EU, including popular unrest. The US is a different than EU countries in history, culture, institutions, but I no longer think that your scenario can't happen. The levers of power appear to be in the hands of madmen. I powerful reaction in November could defuse some of the discontent, but the GOP as a party seems unable to embrace the American people as a whole--too many of the establishment have been bought off.

How long do you think it would take for the country to get completely effed up again were North Korea to take out Washington D.C.?

We have an untouchable class of politicians and bureaucrats in DC that know nothing will ever be done to them when they routinely violate their oath of office and commit unspeakable crimes against the nation and their fellow Americans. Until this changes, expect it to simply get worse. Without a complete regime change in DC, I do not expect anything to change for the better. And by that I do not mean merely replacing the current regime with Republicans. Both political parties are irredeemable and need to go extinct.

This is extremely dangerous and nothing at all like what I've read J Edger Hoover ever did. They've built up the Proud Boys (started as an office goof) and the Oath Keepers that to my understanding is made up of Veterans and other than this nonsense I know of no skullduggery by these groups but boy they are referred to as Far Right Extremest and we're given very small selective tidbits that are supposed to prove beyond reasonable doubt. I'd like to know if they really are or are not but too much is shrouded in Leftist's Screeds.

Something is causing internal rumblings within the FBI. There were no whistleblowers during the Russian Hoax, but now they're popping up like dandelions in spring. There is usually a reason for non-routine events like blowing the whistle on your bosses. What could be driving these FBI men/women to run up the flag hoist signaling corruption? Is it Senators Grassley and Johnson promising protection? I hope not, as I'd never trust a politician of any political stripe to cover my six.

Mr. Wauk this may be too personal, but how do such developments look to former FBI pros?

I entered the Army when fudging the numbers was routine - exaggerating the readiness of combat units despite lack of spare parts and broken, combat ineffective vehicles and weapons systems. It took years of effort and frankly retirement of a lot of top folks to grow out of that, along with a huge investment in correcting the problems.

I can't imagine how long it will take to root out this level of corruption - and corruption it is - from an organization like the FBI.

This sort of thing happened in my day, too, but ...

It was inevitably short lived. This is far more dangerous because it's ideologically driven, which was not the case in the past. That's the difference.
