Yeah why would a HUMINT collector need to be able to speak anything other than English I'm just absolutely baffled

The positions being filled are not HUMINT, they are people like former Director of CIA Pompeo and Deputy Directors. The CIA isn�t being filled with unqualified Liberty U grads, and if it was, the ones without second languages wouldn�t be involved in HUMINT until they met language requirements. If the Trump Admin has their fingers that deep into staffing, we would see a stream of leaks, correctly.

Basically what you said is dumb.

Who Trump appointed to Secretary is career CIA, hired from within making what the previous poster said make little sense. He literally appointed the old guard, something you won�t find in many of the non-military appointees Trump has made. She has a BA in languages, and at least speaks Turkish and Russian from a cursory google search.

Speaking of spy books, have any of you read this: https://www.amazon.com/Billion-Dollar-Spy-Espionage-Betrayal/dp/0345805976

(gently caress Ames, gently caress traitors )

It�s a good intro to the genre. Well researched and (important and rare in this category) well written.

I haven�t read much into it but I also hardly see it mentioned.

holy poo poo. This is literally a subplot from Red Storm Rising, only instead of it being a clancy fever dream, it actually happened four times

Yeah. That incident is why people with insider knowledge have a short life expectancy. When the foxes guard the henhouse and all that. :commissar:

They did a decent job on his neck vag and ridiculous hair but need to do more with the anus lips and that physique is nowhere near enough of a waddling fat rear end.

I saw the Kevin Spacey movie headline that said �Kevin Spacey movie makes $126 on opening night� and my brain immediately thought �gently caress that dude�s movies make $126 million?� But nope, it made one hundred and twenty six dollars :lol:

And they probably rounded that number up from like $125.67 or something.

Tbf I think the Fifa sponsored movie about sepp blatter did worse

I'd also say atlas shrugged bc I haven't heard anyone speak about it since it released

Edit holy poo poo they made the trilogy and recast the roles every movie

Vincent Van Goatse: Nov 8, 2006; Enjoy every sandwich.; Smellrose

That film was filmed a couple years ago and was scheduled for release last year, but then it came out that Spacey was a bad toucher so they shelved it. Now they're dumping it in a few theaters to fulfill contractual obligations for a theatrical release.

Yeah, atlas shrugged was going to be at least two movies. I remember when there was talk they were trying to get brad pitt to play Rearden and Angelina to play the protagonist oval office.

I can't help but believe those movies were backed by someone like the Kochs.

"Billionaire Boys Club" is not the wisest film title choice in today's atmosphere either.
