A former FBI special agent is currently out on $100,000 bond after being arrested for attempting to expose what he described as a covert Russian intelligence campaign to gain influence over leading American tech figures—namely Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. The agent, a decorated counterintelligence officer with nearly two decades of service, specialized in Russian espionage operations and had previously been commended for his work uncovering sleeper cells and disinformation networks operating inside the U.S.

    Both of these men are traitors to the United States, but then the United States are traitors to the American people. So, I mean, whatever. Any time I hear blame Russia, I just think about the 2014 coup that the United States sponsored in Ukraine. Russia is a capitalist shithole and so is the United States. Russia had every right to defend its sovereignty and its boundaries. The United States sowed division. When I heard we were going to war with Russia, I was like why the fuck are we going to war with Russia? Also, I’m still trying to wrap my head around this whole adversarial attitude towards China. We created the monster. I think nowadays the intelligence community is just appealing to the lowest common denominator and the propaganda is less sophisticated, at least to me. The world is capitalistic. There’s no boogeyman anymore. So they just stir shit up. Lie to their own public. Manage Perception. Since we have no opposition to any of this anymore, and the Capitalist have hoarded all the wealth, the only way to make money anymore is the military industrial complex. World War 3 is right around the corner. I mean we’re already in it now but things will just escalate. Also, look at our leadership nowadays. Sleepy Joe and the Burger King are the terrible speakers. Unimpressive reprobates with trashy families. It seems like they’re not trying anymore, which in a way frightens me a little bit. We are in the era of Limp Dick leaders.

      Dude, you need to adjust your bot paramaters. Without paragraphs and new lines it becomes too obvious.
