also wasn't there a story about how the fbi/cia mostly get applications from people that graduated from right wing universities like liberty and such so that's what they're mostly staffed with now?

I dunno about Liberty U but they definitely have a lot from BYU.

it's a job you can only give to the shittiest, most unfun people. don't mean the snitching part, anyone can do that, but the entry requirements are basically 'be a loving square who has never lived.'

It's about the death of a baseball player with the number 45, I believe.

Tyler Skaggs of the Los Angeles Angel's of Anaheim was found dead in his hotel room in Texas at age 27. His jersey # was 45.

it's pretty much impossible to have human intelligence anymore because none of the CIA's recruits can actually do the kind of shady poo poo you'd need for real undercover work. imagine a BYU choir boy trying to chew khat in Somalia without retching.

yeah, to get a top secret you need to either be super square or lie, and unlike the Pentagon, the FBI hates liars.

they also, for the most part, do not ever drink alcohol. this makes them more reliable from the standpoint that they will never brag about secret poo poo while drunk at a bar.

Also the MTC (missionary training center) near BYU has one of, if not the most, effective immersive language training programs in the US. there's a reason the NSA put their Bluffdale facility near Provo.

iirc the story about the weiner thing is that the NY FBI office was leaking things directly to gulliani (he use to work with them) and that comey did that presser to get ahead of the story

there's also a russian angle on this and comey's decision to get ahead of it, according to this story. who even knows, its all a clusterfuck

quote:

In the midst of the 2016 presidential primary season, the FBI received what was described as a Russian intelligence document claiming a tacit understanding between the Clinton campaign and the Justice Department over the inquiry into whether she intentionally revealed classified information through her use of a private email server.
...
Current and former officials have said that Comey relied on the document in making his July decision to announce on his own, without Justice Department involvement, that the investigation was over. That public announcement — in which he criticized Clinton and made extensive comments about the evidence — set in motion a chain of other FBI moves that Democrats now say helped Trump win the presidential election.
...
Comey had little choice, these people have said, because he feared that if Lynch announced no charges against Clinton, and then the secret document leaked, the legitimacy of the entire case would be questioned.

All the shady spy poo poo was always done by local assets anyways, and now everyone is wise to the fact that you can save the life of your handler half a dozen times and they will still leave you to die when you get made because a station chief sends his password to G00G1E-HELP-EMAIL@protonmail.com because they didn't want to spend the $600 on a plane ticket for you.

iirc Ngo originally rose to semi-prominence when he got one published in the WSJ complaining that London's essential Britishness has been lost to the Muslim hordes. His proof for this was no-drinking zones, and people avoiding eye contact with him :jerkbag: this resulted in tens of thousands of comments dunking on him and he never appeared in the Journal again, until now

There are grifters and dumbfuck youtube brand makers like Tim Pool and Pants making GBS threads Gun Girl or Baked Alaska, but Richard Spencer is a very different breed of animal. When he's traveled to Europe in the past (where he is mostly banned from traveling to now) it isn't to make controversial youtube vids like Molyneux or Southern, it's to meet quietly with the hard core neo nazi groups and help them plan for fascist takeover of their own countries. He's worked relentlessly for his whole adult life advancing nazi power. His family is wealthy, he isn't trying to make a career.
