Of Course: Kiddie Diddlers in the CIA Are Protected Because There Are No Boundaries for the Agents of The Regime

And I'm just about at my breaking point.

At Buzzfeed:

CIA Files Say Staffers Committed Sex Crimes Involving Children. They Weren't Prosecuted.
Declassified CIA inspector general reports show a pattern of abuse and a repeated decision by federal prosecutors not to hold agency personnel accountable.
Over the past 14 years, the Central Intelligence Agency has secretly amassed credible evidence that at least 10 of its employees and contractors committed sexual crimes involving children.
Though most of these cases were referred to US attorneys for prosecution, only one of the individuals was ever charged with a crime. Prosecutors sent the rest of the cases back to the CIA to handle internally, meaning few faced any consequences beyond the possible loss of their jobs and security clearances. That marks a striking deviation from how sex crimes involving children have been handled at other federal agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security and the Drug Enforcement Administration. CIA insiders say the agency resists prosecution of its staff for fear the cases will reveal state secrets.
The revelations are contained in hundreds of internal agency reports obtained by BuzzFeed News through Freedom of Information Act lawsuits.
One employee had sexual contact with a 2-year-old and a 6-year-old. He was fired. A second employee purchased three sexually explicit videos of young girls, filmed by their mothers. He resigned. A third employee estimated that he had viewed up to 1,400 sexually abusive images of children while on agency assignments. The records do not say what action, if any, the CIA took against him. A contractor who arranged for sex with an undercover FBI agent posing as a child had his contract revoked.
Only one of the individuals cited in these documents was charged with a crime. In that case, as in the only previously known case of a CIA staffer being charged with child sexual crimes, the employee was also under investigation for mishandling classified material.
The CIA did not answer detailed questions, saying only that the agency “takes all allegations of possible criminal misconduct committed by personnel seriously.”

Not just the CIA, either. Other Servitors of the Regime have "equities" that must be protected:

...
At a symposium in 2016, Daniel Payne, a top Pentagon security official, said that when workers' computers were examined, "the amount of child p0rn I see is just unbelievable."

Just a sea of straight-shooters.

This puts some context around the referrals and kick-backs to IA. If I am reading this right - and if it is correct - only 1 of those 4 people was actual on agency business. The other three were just pervert kiddie-diddlers breaking the law outside of their assignments. While there is no justification for refusing prosecution for any of those four, only one of those four is even conceivably within the jurisdiction of Internal Affairs.

My vision for the complete reorganization of intelligence and LE consists of five agencies, all with narrow mandates:
1. Law enforcement. Very narrow mandate, only interstate crime.
2. Domestic intelligence. Vanishingly narrow mandate.
3. Foreign intelligence. Broader mandate.
4. Military intelligence. Broader mandate, though scope-limited.
5. Inter-agency internal affairs and compliance. Extremely broad mandate with few limitations.

All IA goes into that fifth agency. Nobody in that fifth agency is allowed to have ever been an executive or manager in any of the other four. At least 50% of that agency must be outside hires from the private sector or state/local police forces. Compensation is competitive, with the entire bonus structure consisting of bounties. The more people you catch misbehaving, the worse the behavior you catch, the more you get paid.

70 The Church Committee kicked the legs out from under the CIA in the 1970s, mostly because Democrats hate the USA and wanted to weaken its efforts against the Soviet Union, but there were real excesses and terrible things being done without the slightest limits or controls.

It did not take them long at all to get back into business, in no small part by taking advantage of anti-communist leadership and exploiting the need to protect the USA and fight evil around the world.

Spies are bad guys, no matter who they work for, period. They lie, steal, kill, manipulate, and blackmail for a living. Sometimes, in extreme need, we have to do that to fight a greater evil, but they should never, ever be trusted or given a loose leash.

Lots of child abuse happens in bad neighborhoods and schools. Widespread sexual depravity in the elites is usually a sign of decadence and that cults have taken root. Some time around 1950s or 60s the cults seem to have significant influence(not anything approaching today, but noticeable).

Except a couple of years ago the FBI - while on a tear of declassing embarrassing shit (like the docs proving the Gamergate ho's were found to have faked their own death threats...) - included documentation describing... drumroll please... tunnels found under the fucking school.

Reportedly, Epstein was protected by intelligence agencies for years while he ran a pedophile industry to their benefit. Perhaps this crap is spillover from that.

The typical psychology of pedophiles is -- what? Molested themselves? Hungry for power and control? Whatever Epstein was accomplishing business-wise with his cameras and microphones, whoever was knowingly compromised as part of taking the ticket, actual existence of this deviancy is a recurring phenomenon amongst government employees. Why?

Word.

About 10 years ago, I was looking for a new domicile and got a line on a very cool guest house for rent. I ran for the hills when I found out that the family in the main house had a bunch of kids. The possibility of some kind of unfounded accusation scared the shit out of me.

It's not just the 37 months of the idiot-children administration left, it's the underlying tectonic stupidity that made it all possible. The degradation of the populace, hollowing out of the institutions.

And while the entire populace is not afflicted, a "working majority", if even passively, are. And there is no visible national effective counter to any of it.

174 let alone enough to truly attract diverse talent.

To be "woke", you need to believe two things at the same time.

1) Various oppressed groups are cruelly oppressed by our evil capitalist system, and the evil white patriarchy. Companies are constantly discriminating against them in hiring.

2) You have to raise your salaries in order to get the members of the various oppressed groups to come work for you.

180 Re: Q -- There was *a lot* of looniness (e.g. trust the plan, secret arrests, etc.), but one thing it did was get people digging into the activities and connections of various elites, such as the creepy Podesta brothers, Epstein and so on. This spawned some wacky theories, but it also uncovered stuff that had been effectively suppressed and forgotten.

Not because of Q, but the Epstein arrest a few years back wasn't due to a law enforcement effort, it was the fallout from a citizen journalist request to unseal the records from when he was prosecuted in FL back in 2008-9(?). Same thing for the current prosecution of Ghislane.

183 You think open borders at all cost is a coincidence?

Recall how, under Trump, every few months the Marshall's would announce another child trafficking ring was broken up? And we are now over a year since the last such announcement?

That was the real reason the whole of DC was so desperate to get rid of Trump. When you are willing to take the innocence of a child, you'll do anything to keep from being found out.

It's related. Trump appears to have been serious about minor sex trafficking and that does appear to have pissed a whole helluva lot of people. The open border is good for more than that, but it's definitely a component. The open border is the modern-day slave trade in many respects - and the United States Government is a major partner in it.

First off, the IT department is clearly sleeping on the job. Even trying to go to a site that might have pr0n on it should send off red flags and alarms that get this employee pulled in and talked to by their higher up. That's how it works in normal companies.

Second, the internet is... a sewer and its not that hard to find ghastly stuff online. Places like Twitter even have to keep fighting to stop sleaze from being posted. So its too easy to find online. And these guys apparently have so much free time that they're finding it. The military used to know how to fill up someone's free time. Any good business does.

Third, these guys feel protected and safe downloading and storing this filth on their systems at work, which again is an IT fail and something desperately wrong with the work culture at the Pentagon, if true.

I liked how the Russian US-adoptions moratorium was cast as a gay-rights issue. "PUTIN IS A HOMOPHOBE," they shrieked from the top of their lungs, for years.

The moratorium was on *all* adoptions. And I believe that moratorium was a shot across the bow. As in "We know. How could you think we didn't know? No more child-ass from Russia for you guys. And if you actually enforce the Magnitsky Act on my agents, then I'ma tell, bishes."

===========
The Founding Fathers, multiples of them, not just John Adams, warned us that the Republic would only work if moral, virtuous voters elected moral, virtuous men to office. Anything less would result in corruption and the vices and abuse of power which the Constitution was designed to prevent. They were 100% correct, and the lesson has been driven home time and again since 1992. Did not the sainted Rush prophesy on this? The Cultural Left has celebrated the removal of virtue and morality from both personal and public life for three generations now, and the Uniparty and Swamp have benefitted from it.

250 Rome actually had a system in place, a legal mechanism to fix things when they got too messed up. The Dictator was allowed to do anything whatsoever they wanted without any limits then would step down and reboot the system. It actually worked that way a few times (even Marius and Sulla technically did this). It was bloody and awful and terrifying but effective, for a short time. That's what it takes to reboot: someone with absolute, unquestioned, total power being completely and unswervingly obeyed by the military or some force to clean house.

Then, you hope they actually step down from power.

The reason IT is "failing" on this is because they are told to ignore it by superiors.

Or possibly, said IT folks want to keep their jobs and are willing to look the other way.

270 I wish I could say I was surprised. Yesterday I spoke about abortion as being a baptism of the left for women. In many cases indulging sexual perversions is the leftist baptism of men. Which is a bit more insidious because the natural progression of sexual perversion in men is desensitization toward sexuality and the follow on tendency to more and more extreme forms of sexuality in order to achieve that dopamine hit. Before long men who were straight laced sexually are viewing deviant stuff to get aroused. Before long after that you are roped into something that will damage or destroy you professionally which the enabling left will more than happily keep quiet for you so long as you remain useful and loyal, and burning you at the stake isn't more useful to their cause, so you'd better keep pumping leftism.

Its confusing and repulsive. It has to be a conscience so seared by doing anything and everything until its just the idea of destroying innocence and doing the forbidden that is exciting.

The impression I get is that Trump is unique in that he was already wealthy when he went to the Ivies, and basically stayed out of politics for the most part. The problem is that the kind of people who go from the ivy leagues into politics have a certain mentality. Their whole lives are built around gaming the system to get into the political class.

Most were not illegal or involved minors. But some were. And these were internal investigations of (mostly) sophisticated companies and people. And still they had this shit on their computers. I can only imagine what's on the computers of government workers. They are very stupid and government work tends to attract perverts in general.

286 O/T It occurs to me that if there was any honesty, every single "diversity" or "equity" measure in any business is flatly illegal. Unlawful harassment is "unwelcome, offensive to a reasonable person, severe or pervasive and related to or done because of a protected characteristic."

Protected characteristics are an absurd legal concept, but race and sex are included on the list. All of the CRT stuff, all of the equity stuff, all of the diversity stuff and the rest of the lefty hobby horses are all targeted directly and explicitly against white men. Ergo, all of those policies are harassment by definition. Those polices are, by extension, illegal.

Not that it matters. The only person more protected than a communist HR political officer is a CIA or FBI agent.

It is all BS. They are in power to maintain power and get all the grift they can at the expense of the innocent and powerless.

We are not paying attention to the really important issues that will eventually doom this country: China, government malfeasance, high debt, race wars and the assent of fascism and communism within our own government.
This government is not by the people of for the people. We now live in a feudal society.

Yes, it is classist, but it's also for a practical reason. All of those elite universities are fed into by elite private schools like Eton, Gordonstoun, The King's School, etc. All of those guys knew each other from a young age.

386 A lot of recruitment into intel from MIT, and you can see the thinking; smart people who have been "vetted" all their lives, or they wouldn't have graduated from there.

But lately we have people like Ben Rhodes and other "liberal arts" MIT people, taking advantage of that very thing.

The climate change stuff was run out of MIT, but not by scientists.

1. Do not judge other people's feelings
2. Consider and accept other people's feelings
3. Consider the environment and others in the environment at all times.

At what time do I consider myself? Where do my morality, beliefs or ethics factor into it? They don't. I don't matter, only they do. The ultimate in collectivism.

389 Usually they're women who want to keep some guy at all costs.

Yeah I saw a movie a long time ago based around that (some European one with subtitles, cannot remember the name). I was skeptical: really? You'll put up with the boyfriend molesting your daughter just so you can keep him around?

But... time and wisdom has taught me that this really happens.

And the mom thing. The story of Eva Ionesco comes to mind: she became famous because her mom photographed her buck naked from a very young single digits age dressed up with artsy stuff and black and white. It became very popular, and the spiral down to hell was pretty ghastly for poor little Eva. Mom got fabulously rich and was a jet setter for decades off Eva's misery.

392 The nexus between hollyweird, the LA music scene, and the IC is "interesting" as well. The whole 60s hippie movement was an operation to no small degree.

As far as "snuff films" and kiddies, Hunter Thompson is mentioned in some circles as a producer. Maybe that's a stretch, but there are some really sick MFers out there. Takes quite a bit to get them excited. "Marilyn Manson" uses that moniker derived from Marilyn Monroe (snuffed by the Kennedy clan, it is said, at least in popular lore) and Charles Manson. And he does everything possible to look, and act like a freak. He has succeeded. Wonder why he has invited scrutiny for law enforcement? Must be something "bad".

406 Being abused as a child is a poor excuse to abuse as an adult. Being abused should give some amount of insight to what abuse feels like or the pain inflicted. I guess that any excuse is good enough. Sure abuse damages children but i can't accept that being abused is an excuse. Someone needs to stop the cycle. I know I did. My wife was the receiving end of domestic violence as a child. She never never never carried that to our children. She stopped the cycle too.

407 I imagine the CIA does this to protect information and sources. If they dropped the hammer on these people many of them would start shouting highly classified information at the top of their lungs.

That's why they don't seek the death penalty against so many of the traitors they discover.

That doesn't make the agency's response morally right. But the agency essentially allows the vilest people to blackmail the agency and avoid sanctions for their crimes.

Of course, the Deep State has no interest in cleaning up their own sh*t covered stalls to begin with.

409 So, Allie Beth Stuckey on Twitter quips:

Justice Sotomayor argued that being able to feel pain doesn't mean the unborn baby is actually alive. This is a great reminder that even the most learned people in the world can be very stupid.

Consider that one of the top legal minds in the world actually put forth this argument. That should be a great encouragement to pro-lifers that there is no pro-abortion argument in existence that you can't easily demolish.

She's got a few problems here, mostly just credentialism. Being a Supreme Court justice doesn't mean you're one of the "Top legal minds" or "most learned people in the world". It means you got appointed to a position. You can be an abject moron and ignorant of every law ever written, and get the job.

And Sotomayor is not even close to being top in any category except cholesterol count.

Stuckey is pretty young, but not so young she's this ignorant.

I used to be the biggest critic of Q.

I can't get behind the talk of Satanic human sacrifices and stuff. A lot of that, like JFK Jr, comes from his readers. But when Q was right, he's the ONLY one who was right.

I don't want to live in a world where the conspiracy theorists were right. But 18 months ago I would have said you're a loon if you thought China and Democrats would conspire to overthrow our government using a weaponized virus and mail-in ballot fraud.

Yeah I've been to a few psych seminars where they are talking about practically helping people with emotional issues and they totally TROUNCE on sympathy while totally talking up empathy.

Sympathy means on an intellectual level I've examined your situation, understand why you feel bad, agree that feeling bad in said situation is reasonable, and want to help.

Empathy means I feel bad because you feel bad....Period. In the classical terms, sympathy is a form of agape of the highest form of love. To choose to want the better for the other. And yet was described in such negative terms as to be outright ridiculed.While empathy, which, while at times comforting, also leads often to secondary trauma and no real progress on someone's negative feelings because nothing happens.

I'll take 1 person with genuine sympathy for my situation over 100 folks whom empathize with me, because that guy with sympathy is going to bust his ass trying to help.

448 Rome actually had a system in place, a legal mechanism to fix things when they got too messed up. The Dictator was allowed to do anything whatsoever they wanted without any limits then would step down and reboot the system. It actually worked that way a few times (even Marius and Sulla technically did this). It was bloody and awful and terrifying but effective, for a short time. That's what it takes to reboot: someone with absolute, unquestioned, total power being completely and unswervingly obeyed by the military or some force to clean house.

Then, you hope they actually step down from power.

Sulla did step down -- after "proscribing" so many enemies that he joked there was no one left in Rome for him to fear.

Caesar did not step down, which led to the Empire. But by then they needed someone to handle what had become a de facto empire anyway.

But my co-workers close their eyes. If I were to bring it up, they'd just get upset with me. They refuse to see that Biden is far worse than anything they ever believed about Trump in every single category.

454 If a particular behavior is getting swept under the rug it's likely because the leadership are participants in it too.

456 Post: CIA insiders say the agency resists prosecution of its staff for fear the cases will reveal state secrets.

troyriser: ...They should be put down.

State secrets secured!

457 I'd like to know how many of the pervs are spies -- the sources of information -- and how many are case officers -- the spymasters -- and analysts.

For that matter, I'd like to see a breakdown of what areas generate the most of these reports. I suspect the Middle East and the 'stans. Europe? Not so much.

I know -- state secrets.

458 230 Maybe the agency should change their recruiting and cut out mainly chasing Ivy League Left Wing Shitbags with despicable sexual predilections and mommy or daddy issues.

Yeah I think the elite's fixation with ivy league schools is doing irreparable damage to the country and has for decades. EVERY SINGLE JUSTICE on the supreme court is from the ivy leagues. Every president for ... I'm not even sure how long has gone to an ivy league school (yes, even Trump).

Harry Truman was the last president NOT college-educated.

He's a commie so if he's not, he's the rare exception.

He's also a Muslim - did he keep that secret for a while?

460 235 One thing worries me enormously, why children? It's almost as if every other sexual perversion is not enough.

461 "At a symposium in 2016, Daniel Payne, a top Pentagon security official, said that when workers' computers were examined, 'the amount of child p0rn I see is just unbelievable.'"

It's true. I was, once upon a time, the General Counsel of a state IT Dept. We had to have a state employee's computer seized by the state police for viewing child pr0n on taxpayer-funded equipment/time about every six months. And those are just the ones we caught.

Never ceases to amaze me what people think they can get away with. See also the things people email to coworkers they want to sleep with. The mind boggles.

462 It's anyone connected to government work. I know personally of a few cases in NJ, two in the unemployment division and one in the city office of one of the major cities, where people were found to be watching child porn on their work computers during work hours, the two in unemployment were allowed to retire with benefits and no criminal charges, and the one in the city department (who was also caught diddling himself on a bus) is still working and claiming he has a disability that makes him do it, so they can't get rid of him.
