The swamp is old, wide, and deep. The Western IC is the enforcement wing of the deep state. They control using money, power, influence, alcohol, drugs and sex. They maintain control with blackmail and murder. Most likely a few people will be sacrificed and then the whole thing will blow over. I doubt they will crash the system because that could threaten the entire cabal. Time will tell.

Its not going to be Zimbabwe or Venezuela but if you live near Wall Street you might want to stay off the sidewalks under high rises for a few months.

They use extortion and dirty tricks. Very hard to dislodge. Working on it. Brennan will most definitely die in prison or be put down by his cohorts, he is done-zo. Very bad guy.

As long as the tool exists, it will be abused. Just because Trump can redirect the agency does not mean the agency cannot be misused again.

but secret intelligence agencies don't seem to just dissolve when public opinion gets low.

They do when you have enough allegations to open up a bipartisan criminal investigation

"Who really hacked the DNC?" "Was it you or the Russians?"

They are in real trouble now, and they know it.

Eventually, they all go.

TimberWolfAlpha

Nothing.

I mean, let's go with our best-case scenario, wherein the CIA and NSA are torn limb from limb, budgets emptied, agencies disbanded in shame.

These people don't stop having their skills. Their connections. Their black budgets. They won't go away, they'll just go rogue. And keep doing what they're doing.

That is why a "retired" spy is a dead spy.

TimberWolfAlpha

I think widespread mass early 'retirement' is unlikely to be the outcome here.

B3bomber

I know. That is the only way to do it though.

pitenius

Nothing. This ends in currency collapse, not meaningful reform.

MAGANator

I like to think things are going to begin with the currency collapse.

The leak.... Cia hacking devices. Is old news. We knew this already. Wikileaks, I believe is compromised. And this boring, garbage information leak is just to keep the sheep interested. The CIA is into some other creepy stuff. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v7rzmO4AEes

or

another psyop to normalize federal authority

is the best defensive move for them in the current situation

The end game is probably just to weaken the CIA. By exposing their tools, tech companies will work to fix the flaws that the CIA was exploiting. By fixing the flaws, the CIA is has less ways of spying, thus giving them less intel and fewer ways to intrude on people's privacy.

Congress has to do it, but they can be dissolved, their functions rolled into other agencies like the NSA, the FBI and the BIR, and all the employees can submit resumes if they want to be hired on there.

You can expect some guidance from the White House on the new apps.

BLUMP-SHARTCRACKER

Yeah to me it's not a big deal and here's why. This is really nothing because at the end of the day what is being exposed is still some what control-able by us. I have enough knowledge to use TOR, private VPNS, etc. You could go even more crazy and use pay as you go phones and keep them in faraday cages when not in use. Pay cash for everything, don't use social media, etc...

What you need to be concerned about is the stuff you can't control. These elite fuckers think they are God. They think they control our right to take a breath every day. They create wars, topple countries, create terrorism, while us average people suffer. I worry more about them releasing some bio-weapon or false-flagging nuke in major U.S. city.

They do whatever they have to preserve their position at top of the pyramid. Keep the masses all pitted against each other over bull shit left vs right ideologies. If we actually united, we would overtake them. They are scared.

Hate to say it, but it's only going to get worse.

BLUMP-SHARTCRACKER

Same thing will happen as when the CIA was exposed for running TONS of cocaine across our borders FOR the drug cartels... NOTHING!

strix-varia

I agree...nothing. They are powered by satan.
