The FBI

On July 26, 1908, Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte appointed an unnamed force of special agents to be the investigative force of the Department of Justice. The FBI evolved from this small group.

An unnamed force of....?? That doesn't sound sketchy at all. .

Who does the FBI answer to:

Who monitors or oversees the FBI?
The FBI’s activities are closely and regularly scrutinized by a variety of entities. Congress—through several oversight committees in the Senate and House—reviews the FBI’s budget appropriations, programs, and selected investigations. The results of FBI investigations are often reviewed by the judicial system during court proceedings. Within the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI is responsible to the attorney general, and it reports its findings to U.S. Attorneys across the country. The FBI’s intelligence activities are overseen by the Director of National Intelligence.

So this Attorney General essentially acts autonomously? The president appoints them, congress pays the bills, but they're just trusted to act without real oversight?

Have you heard of the praetorian guard? They were the personal guards of Roman Emperors.

In practice they were known to assassinate Emperors, and at their worst they actually sold off the position to a highest bidder.

Apparently the CIA isn't any better. Harry S. Truman founded it in 1947, yet no president can unilaterally abolish it.

The core concept of a civilian managed population, yet its apparently very hard to get rid of them, and civilian oversight is lax..

Keep in mind audio tapes exist of fed telling Malcolm X to his face "We make people disappear."

STAY OFF THE DRUGS...

DRUGS ARE BAD

Who is FBI?

Amending this to black bag groups in general.

This is an old article, but makes a good case why the CIA should be abolished:

Of note: The "corporate view" is all that matters, and dissenters within the system are censored.

In other words, ass kissing for career advancement is the same as in any other corporation. Anyone who tips the apple cart may lose their clearance privileges or worse.

I'm guessing from other posters reactions this should be in the Conspiracy forum, but Cdtm has decided to pollute the GDF with shit.

The Carnegie Endowment is a legitimate outlet.

And did we forget what the feds did in Iraq? The secret prisons? Don't be blinded by the fact an enemy attacked them, that does NOT make them your friend.

Republicans have managed to turn what should have been a massive Red wave of both houses of congress and governorships into maybe just a Red ripple.

Obviously need to wait until it's over. But they're grossly underperforming right now

I noticed. Imagine not being able to demolish the Dems given the state they're in. Embarrassing for Republicans.

they did their best to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, and paid off

Honestly GOP needs to reject the insurrectionists and they would have wiped the floor with the Dems

Independents aren't all about that treason.

I think the results are being delayed to sell articles.

eg Like GA. Even though Raphael Warnock got more votes than that pile of walking/talking feces Herschel Walker, Warnock needs at least 50% of the vote to secure a win, his 49.4% isn't enough. Runoff is in Dec.
