The Deep Swamp

[Ivanhoe]

Let's see how many more government lists I can get listed on ("Hey! I'm an A-lister!");

The latest outrage is a private intelligence report that reveals that Chinese intelligence has penetrated Los Alamos National Laboratory, with at least 154 Chinese scientists who gained employment at the laboratory subsequently being hired back in China to develop cutting-edge military technology such as deep-earth-penetrating warheads, hypersonic missiles, quiet submarines, and drones. The lab, famous for being where the atomic bomb was developed, is a very secret facility that does highly sensitive work for the U.S. government. If Beijing has penetrated the lab with a small battalion of spies, what in America hasn’t Chinese intelligence burrowed itself into?

It's now impossible to miss that we are failing at basic counterintelligence, that is, the business of defending our country from hostile intelligence services and their efforts to purloin our defense, diplomatic, and commercial secrets. Reading the headlines, you might wonder if American counterintelligence is simply broken.

This week, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence issued a big, bipartisan, detailed report that comes to exactly that painful conclusion. Its 153 pages , even with some redactions, establish that the U.S. government is failing to protect our secrets. Moreover, that failure is systemic. The regular drumbeat of media stories showcasing major security failures reflect not errors or mistakes so much as a basic unwillingness to take counterintelligence seriously at all.

The committee’s understatedly scathing report focuses on the little-known National Counterintelligence and Security Center, which has gone by several names since it was founded in 2001 to give our sprawling intelligence community a central clearinghouse for counterintelligence concerns. This report makes clear that the center, which is supposed to provide a strategic counterintelligence vision for the intelligence community, is failing to do that.

 

 

The private intelligence report is here;

The Feebies are obsessed with the purported VCWSC (Vast Conservative White Supremacist Conspiracy)*, and are ignoring the proven and pervasive penetration of American institutions by foreign intelligence agencies. This is not an oversight. They've known about this since at least the mid-1990s. At an annual security refresher training I attended in that timeframe, rather than the usual 60 minute death-by-powerpoint training, we had a young Feebie give us an hour of reality (mostly in the context of industrial espionage).

So, I will connect the dots to my own satisfaction.

• The FBI has thoroughly known about the foreign intelligence threat for decades;
• the FBI is mostly ignoring the known, documented foreign intelligence threat;
• the FBI is obsessed with internal enemies of the traditional western civ culture ilk;
• much of America's center-left and hard left, which we are now seeing includes DOJ, believes the wrong side won the Cold War;
• the PRC has penetrated much of the USian federal government, academia, and NGOs.

Those dots all line up on a vector which leads to the hypothesis that the Feebies and the rest of the Deep State want to, and plan to, transform the US into a statist authoritarian uniparty nation.

 

* My limited reading of 20th-C history is that governments are much more worried about internal "threats" real or imagined, than tangible, measurable external threats.

So that's the Soviets that penetrated Los Alamos. The British, albeit by invite. The Russians seem to have thoroughly done it in the 1990. Now China. Why not Iran, strictly on the grounds of fairness?

 

[Tim the Tank Nut]

you are on the list now...

[Stuart Galbraith]

I'm at the top of the list Tim.

Give it time, Joe Biden can only do so much in one term.

As for being on the list, the unanswered question is, which lists are you on? Refuses a cuppa, on occasion? Secret urge to drive on the right side of the road? Still drinking bitter by the pint rather than by metric measure?

Not the first time the British exported a spy to a critical project.

Oh, just the standard Commie shit, all people should be treated as if they were equals, the rich should pay their share of taxes, guvmint intervention is not always evil. All very boring.

Re Klaus Fuchs, the second series of the BBC podcast 'The Bomb' is quite good. Covers some of his activities whilst at Los Alamos. Strange man, helped give the bomb to 3 different nations.

Could have been worse I guess, he might have been French.

Which is why Title IX re-works make school admins judge, jury, police, etc. No fair trials there. Equals my left foot.

The guy from MBNA wants the Rich to pay their fair share? He's a swamp creature. He's been in congress for as long as you've been alive and his main donor was MBNA, the banking concern. He drafted legislation FOR them. You think it avoided carveouts for those rich fat cat bankers? No. Because they can manage their money and put most of it into offshore accounts where it's NOT affected. If you're super mega rich, you can afford to start an S-Corp or 10, park most of your income in those and just pay small amounts of capitol gains. 

Biden isn't interested in making the rich pay their fair share, what ever that actually may be. He's interested in power. PERIOD. Like Most commies. They're not really interested in leveling the playing field. They just want to be on the top of the pyramid. Biden is at the top of the pyramid, he has ZERO interest in breaking that system. Just riding it to retirement and more influence.

Only when it's police who are systematically racist top to bottom. But then when they need them, they're fine with riot police, shooting people in the chest, arresting political opponents in the dark of night.

I didn't say people WERE equals. Please Ryan, for one read what I said before you go off on a reactionary rant.

Trump's big tax deal aided his rich buddies. Trump wants to creat a fascist state with him the leader.

Well, if one party can accuse another party and not be treated as equals vis a vis legal process then they are not equals nor are they treated as equals. 
 

You are quibbling over a detail that is clearly not there at all. You would be more correct if you written 'spoken about as equals but treated unequally'. You did not. Now go back to your fixation with bellends.
