The interesting timing of two stories.
Last week the New York Times noted, “Michael Ellis, the deputy director of the C.I.A., has abruptly demoted a career lawyer who had been serving as the agency’s acting general counsel since January and installed himself in that role, according to people familiar with the matter. […] It was not clear what was behind Mr. Ellis’s taking personal control of making legal judgments for the agency while continuing to help lead it”… (link)
Today the New York Times is reporting, “The Trump administration has secretly authorized the C.I.A. to conduct covert action in Venezuela, according to U.S. officials, stepping up a campaign against Nicolás Maduro, the country’s authoritarian leader.” […] The agency would be able to take covert action against Mr. Maduro or his government either unilaterally or in conjunction with a larger military operation. It is not known whether the C.I.A. is planning any operations in Venezuela or if the authorities are meant as a contingency.”
[…] “The new authorities, known in intelligence jargon as a presidential finding, were described by multiple U.S. officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the highly classified document.” (link)


Hmmm, NYT? And nobody, not one leaker could be found in the entire intelligence apparatus that was deployed to *illegally* spy on Pres. Trump, Congress, American citizens who ever came forward and leaked to NYT, the PFM authorizing it? Not one? None? No one? Or they did but NYT didn’t report it?
I don’t know which is worse. Corr: there’s really zero daylight between the NYT and intelligence agencies, so you can’t pick one without picking the other, same actors?
A thousand words in a picture. So love this particular cat!
Sundance’s cat just seems to know when to look suspicious.
Well Maduro shouldn’t have let those Russian war ships hang out. Big mistake. Huge.

Maybe we shouldn’t have installed a military dictatorship and created the largest NATO army in Ukraine and unleashed it against Russia.
Along with building dozens of CIA bases on their border. And then deploy our missiles with our crews and lob them into their country.
Wouldn’t surprise me if they deploy Oreshniks in Venezuela.
U didn’t.
Some punk A__ coup group did. And we are steering the ship back now
Reporter: “Why did you authorize the CIA to go into Venezuela?”
Trump: “They have emptied their prisons into the US.”
https://nitter.poast.org/Osint613/status/1978563623388598315#m
And filled them up again with political opponents, no doubt.
Instead of shutting down the CIA’s pointless, bullying war against Russia, as he promised to do, Trump is authorizing a new CIA war against another country. I guess Trump has outsourced foreign policy to John Bolton and Lindsay Graham. War all the time against everyone everywhere.
One does not authorize the CIA. Anyone who understands what the fourth branch is knows this. But the fourth branch is merely a localized manifestation of the global intelligence group which subverts all of Western civilization. It presents as mossad or MI6 or as whatever officially recognized organization of a given government. Spies doing spy things are generally on a small scale, but when they want to do something that the world will notice, they have the use a government’s power and resources to accomplish it… and that government takes the blame for it.
Sounds like the CIA controls the USG.
If Israel controls the CIA like Netanyahu portends, then they also control the USG.
And the citizens of the US are just slaves to pay for Israel and we have no representation in DC.
PDJT just ordered the CIA to do whatever the hell he just said to do.
These arent tough ass agencies that can do anything. That fantasy Is created to aid in confusion in their capabilities.
interesting take
Venezuala emptied their prisons and insane asylums into America. Seems like it might be a national security issue. No?
Quite simply, he has no choice in the matter. He has been told the USA is INSOLVENT and the only temporary CURE is WAR, otherwise DJT will be saddled with 1929 style DEPRESSION as his legacy. Its all so tiresome, the perpetual PRETENDING…….Come on, you all see it……
Wrong. He will demand proof of the debt and the origination of the money presented.
Then will negotiate the end of their bullshit.
Games are over
So rather then war cant we just make a bunch of crap and then dump it in the ocean. The magical band aid myth that war builds economies is a fairy tale told by death merchants. War is a waste of people and resources. Waste does not build economies
Or he is using the CIA as it was created.
Don’t burn your feet off.
Clearly, the GC didn’t understand his role, which is to find a legal way to do what the administration wants to do, not to tell the administration it can’t do it.
There is this article: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/10/pentagon-reporters-every-major-fake-news-media-organization/
Perhaps there is an issue (and an agenda) with those controlling MSM?
And, then there is this “cracked windshield on the airplane” issue on Hegseth’s plane (on trip from NATO meeting. Purely coincidental I’m sure…….
https://apnews.com/article/hegseth-plane-cracked-windshield-f7a72ae5b173ac6c9d24af762c08e714
Note this article points out that Rubio had a flight with a windshield issue also.
Love that suspicious cat!
A cracked windshield on an aircraft is far from a catastrophic event.
It wasn’t going to just fold into the cockpit, the plane lose pressure and drop to the ground.
Aircrafts are designed with multiple redundancies for all components including the windshield.
Perhaps?
“People familiar with the matter”. ‘Spoke on the condition of anonymity”. No names, but rather people in the Trump administration allegedly leaking presidential information, to The NY Times. So, where is the validity of any of this? And amusingly, where were the. Leakers to The NY Times when intelligence agencies were going after Trump?
Mmmmm, very interesting, Thank,you. And I noticed the use of MR Trump through the whole article that was linked
Should’v kept USAID. They would have just done it without telling everyone and the President.
Nope. They funded the prisoners sent here.
That’s the opposite ofw what we are doing and almost done with already
New York Times, what a paragon of virtue and honest reporting
Shame that sundance got sold out to the Kamala “Christians should abstain from voting” crowd
The way I see it, while biden was sleeping for 4 years, all kinds of skullduggery took place and ran amok. After the 2024 election, now President Trump is trying to fix what many feckless politicians and others refused to deal with. It is so much worse than most of us imagined. The arena is huge, filled with traitors, grifters, peddlers of evil and media liars. One man was chosen to stand against all of that in the arena.
I am grateful for whatever POTUS can do to help prevent what is intended for our destruction. I can’t imagine facing all of the evil, the traitors and all that needs to be fixed….can you?!!
I doubt we will ever see another president like the one we have now. We prayed to God to save our country and He sent President Trump. Please take some time to think about that.
Agree, PDJT has a huge job to finish. But it’s still a big question whether this leftist-NWO-agent NYT claim is valid or not.
Not news to me.
My expectation is that the CIA is continually taking action against ever government including our own.
What else would they be doing?
Nope.
They underminded via fabricated headlines.
That shit is over
Now the reporters have to access the database or worse
The CIA is who started the war in Ukraine along with Victoria Nuland, et.a.. President Trump is not able to stop them.
More evidence of the need to dismantle…can’t keep a secret.
I am reminded of Pace Picante sauce commericials.
You only get the Nobel Peace prize if you work for the CIA
“According to people familiar with the matter.” Y’know, I don’t believe that line anymore.
Good
Send those goons a real mission and get them out of domestic nonsense
Secretly? How does the New York Times know this if it is a secret?
Database access and private investigator firms monitoring
Add in the Nobel Peace Prize being given to the “opposition leader” lady from Venezuela and her specifically dedicating that award to DJT – even being lauded for doing that, in fact.
We know the deep state et al didn’t give Barry Soetoro the Peace Price in 2009 just for existing, but rather to continue to push their agenda. This culimiation of facts seems to point towards the deep state recognizing they are losing in Ukraine and Israel, and they need to open up another warfare money laundering operation.
NO MORE FOREIGN WARS!
I hope Trump and his advisors are not so stupid as to not see themselves being maneuvered and manipulated into direct military action in South America. No one wants that except people whose bad intentions have helped to ruin our country for the past 130 years.
With Trump, just ‘look where the ball lands’
