REFORM INTELLIGENCE

“The rise of artificial intelligence and large language models dominated not only the economy but has also been at the root of a Hollywood double strike conducted by Writers Guild of America and a SAG APTRA strike.”

“John Brennan, I believe, really did attempt to carry out a coup, not with tanks in the streets. He tried to do it through rumor and innuendo. And he tried to deny Donald Trump the presidency. He tried to deny the choice of 51% of Americans. Genuinely worried now that they're not going to prosecute John Brennan. I think John Brennan is a malevolent figure in modern American politics.”

“And the goal has always been that once she is comfortable, then she will be out with them. But it would be inappropriate for us to rush it. We want to see them together.”

“I said, 'Mr. President, my name's John Kiriakou. I'm the CIA torture whistleblower. Barack Obama and John Brennan ruined my life, and you were the only person who can give it back to me.' And he goes like this. He goes, 'Tucker Carlson told me about you.' He said, 'Talk to Pam Bondi. She'll get the paperwork done.' What would a pardon do? It would give me my pension back.”

“2021's inflation surge moderated in 2023, while the Federal Reserve continued to raise its interest rates in the first half of the year.”

“The dominant political story of the year has been the 270-day-long speakership of Representative Kevin McCarthy, whose slim majority in the House of Representatives has enabled a far-right rebellion to exert more weight over the lower chamber.”

“Between 1917 and 2009, three people were prosecuted for speaking to the press. Just under Obama, eight of us were prosecuted for speaking to the press. I remember a friend of mine at the White House saying, 'Be careful of this guy. Obama has a Nixonian obsession with national security leaks.' And I said why? He said because John Brennan's whispering in his ear every single day, prosecute, prosecute, prosecute.”

“One of the very first lessons that I learned at the CIA is that if you want to determine American military intentions, watch naval movements. You know, we can fly troops out all over the place. It doesn't make any difference. If you're going to send an entire aircraft carrier strike group, you mean business. If you're gonna send two of them, you're going to war.”

“One thing about Clinton, I noticed it from the very moment that I met him. He hates silence. He wants to be joshing and joking and laughing and telling stories. Then Hillary walks off. She walks right up to us. She says, 'Jesus Christ, Bill, it's raining all day. I'll be in the room.' And she walks between us and I'm looking at him like, 'You poor man.'”

“What section 702 does is it allows these continued secret warrantless wire taps on people. But again, on whom and what's the threshold? We don't know what the threshold is. Nobody will tell us. And so you get somebody like Carter Page who was doing what he thought he was supposed to be doing as a mid-level Trump campaign person and the next thing he is experiencing is he's under investigation.”

“No, I I owe you an apology. As I said, you've you've shown me wrong, and I I'm sorry that I perpetuated an untruth. I think that the definition of Zionism has changed now. I think it's much more—well, depending on your point of political view—more reactionary or more radical than it was when it originated in the UK in the late 19th century.”

“Kerry's reading the speech and then he goes off topic and he says, 'You know, I was supposed to be the Secretary of State. I invited Obama over to my house at Christmas. Obama put his arm around my shoulder and he said, John, if you endorse me and if you do it before the Kennedys do it, Secretary of State.' I said, 'Bill Richardson has exactly the same story.' Barack Obama promised half a dozen people.”

“What they're being accused of doing is giving money to the Ku Klux Clan, giving money to Nazi groups, you know, laundering money. There are very clear laws, very specific laws about money laundering. You can't do it. And if they've got documentary evidence that they did it, this could be the end of the SPLC. The 990s will tell you everything you need to know about an organization.”

“2023 also saw the roots of a global banking crisis arise out of four American regional banks, the two largest being Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic Bank.”
