Mister Drone Strike
President Trump revoked John Brennan's security clearance. According to today's The New York Times:
"Citing what he called Mr. Brennan's 'erratic' behavior and 'increasingly frenzied commentary,' Mr. Trump dispatched Sarah Huckabee Sanders, his press secretary, to read a statement saying that Mr. Brennan had abused his access to the United States' secrets 'to make a series of unfounded and outrageous allegations.'"
In the same article:
"Mr. Brennan has become increasingly vocal in his criticism of the president and often tweets or appears on television as a contributor on NBC [and MSNBC] to question Mr. Trump's fitness for office. Last month, Mr. Brennan said the president should be impeached for 'treasonous' behavior after Mr. Trump stood next to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia at a news conference in Finland and cast doubt on the conclusion of the intelligence agencies that Moscow interfered in the 2016 presidential election."
Brennan today tweeted, "This action is part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to suppress freedom of speech & punish critics. It should gravely worry all Americans, including intelligence professionals, about the cost of speaking out. My principles are worth far more than clearances. I will not relent."
Former Vice President Biden tweeted, "In the time I have known him, John Brennan has never been afraid to speak up and give it to you straight. Revoking his security clearance is an act unbecoming of a President. If you think it will silence John, then you just don't know the man."
That Trump's revocation of Brennan's security clearance was an act of revenge I have no doubt. Being called a traitor for something that wasn't treasonous must've irritated Trump a great deal. Brennan's beef regarding what happened in Helsinki recently has been echoed in much of the mainstream news media. Trump, standing behind a podium next to Putin behind his podium, doubted to the assembled reporters that the January 2017 findings of "the intelligence community," (in actuality a small number of analysts from just three of the seventeen intelligence agencies who concluded there was a fair to good possibility of Russian interference in the election)--this honest statement, one of the few Trump has made since becoming President, has been characterized as a crime worthy of the death penalty, since that's the fatal outcome treason implies.
Thus, Brennan and all news parrots speaking of treason imply, without saying so, that Trump should be executed since he doubts findings of "the U.S. intelligence community"--hyperbole, since, as mentioned above, the intelligence community wasn't involved. This same community of often deceitful individuals, propagandists responsible for the lies leading to the Vietnam War and the Iraq War, now work the Russiagate story. John Brennan's (and Rachel Maddow's) favorite conspiracy theory, Russiagate, gets stoked daily on MSNBC and CNN, in The Washington Post and The New York Times, easy to believe in because there's no evidence yet that it actually happened. Did Jesus of Nazareth rise from the dead? Millions of people believe that he did, but no one knows that he did. I'm the kind of person who prefers to know. When Russiagate stops being like a religion I'll take it seriously.
Trump's narcissism is well-known, just look at all the buildings displaying his name. If it's revealed someday that he has a tattoo of his last name along the length of his penis, I won't be surprised. Reread John Brennan's tweet above. Is he a narcissist?
"My principles are worth far more than clearances. I will not relent."
Self-important? He laments in the tweet about suppression "of freedom of speech," making himself out to be a citizen attacked for speaking truth to power, not bothering to mention that as a high-ranking American spook, he is power.
Brennan was the principal coordinator of President Obama's "kill list," an assassination program carried out remotely with drones. He claimed that from June 2010 to June 2011, "U.S. counter-terrorism operations had not resulted in a single collateral death." Independent research revealed that seventy-six civilian deaths, with eight children killed, had occurred during that year.
Brennan, speaker of truth to power, is a consultant on world events for Kissinger Associates. If you want to hear a voice you can trust, find someone who works for Henry Kissinger, the most prolific living mass murderer.
Brennan's job as paid consultant to MSNBC and NBC highlights his own practice of subverting the press. A disinformation agent, he's also a respected propagandist with a reputation as "a truth teller" about Donald Trump, the President who foolishly made the former CIA Director into a martyr.
John Brennan, child-killer, got kicked in the teeth by Donald Trump, child-killer. Brennan's harsh and hyperbolic criticisms questioning Trump's loyalty to his own country will indicate for some journalists the President's hypersensitivity to the "truth" of Russiagate. Lifting Brennan to victim status (an obscene thing to do, considering how much blood is on the motherfucker's hands) will further ennoble the same intelligence community that deceives Americans into not realizing how dangerous they are.
John Brennan can go fuck himself. I expect him to write a book.
