It is beyond belief that fifty intelligence officials are openly lying in a letter. Such qualities as classic earmarks of Russian information operations simply don't exist, moreover Russians are far too smart to earmark their operations, also exposing a future president whom they already own and who can easily be bribed would not be in their interest. I hope these officials will face repercussions.

All Russian disinfo seems to originate from former intel officials and other anonymous sources leaking to the media.

Then there is China hide'n Biden.

Hunter Biden story is Russian disinformation, is Russian disinformation.

The military, industrial, congressional, media, tech, banksters, intelligence industry, complex.

It isn't anything new. Even Trump isn't new, the Washington establishment and press reacted the same way to Lincoln. Even the issues are the same. Is it to be a slave nation or not. The face of slavery has changed but the social structure has not. The new plantation owners are the "elites" the slaves are in China, they are imported from south of the border, are the deplorables and working class. The succession took place under the guise of sanctuary cities, legalized marijuana, open borders, authoritarian pandemic response, ignoring the first and second Amendments, and judicial activism. Our Gettysburg was an impeachment coup attempt.

The question many people have is if the cold civil war could become a shooting war. I suspect not. The secessionists do not have a military tradition or a exaggerated sense of honor. What they do have is a variety of cults, such as BLM, AntiFa, feminists, and others, to fill the role of Nazi brown shirts. The Marxist influenced intellectuals and academics fill the role of the Southern preachers aided and abetted by individuals such as the liberation theological Pope. What we are seeing is a slow boil revolution not unlike how the Nazis came to power. They are already talking about virtual "concentration camps" for Trump supporters.

Why people go mad and elect those that insure self destruction has been one of the great questions of history. The South never had much chance of winning and Hitler was an obvious lunatic that could only have ended badly. History doesn't repeat itself but the madness of crowds is always with us.

It may have “all the classic earmarks” of a Russian operation, but that doesn’t make it one. In any event, Joe Biden is a self-confessed influence peddler (his notorious press conference, at which he proudly recounted how he got the Burisma prosecutor fired by threatening to withhold $1bn in aid to Ukraine, qv). Where there’s a stink of rotten fish, there probably is rotten fish.

Were any of these senior intelligence officials involved in finding yellowcake uranium in Iraq or handling security for Benghazi?

50 idiots can be found in any pack of 1000. Former business associates have verified the content
