Salty Rivers of Hot Shame Run Down the Fat Traitor's Cheeks of John Brennan

... as John Brennan learns that he is no longer permitted to access classified information.

Former CIA Director John Brennan, a vocal critic of President Trump, found out he had been blocked from accessing his classified notes and records while working on his new memoir.

He writes in his forthcoming book, Undaunted: My Fight Against America’s Enemies, at Home and Abroad, that after months of "haggling" he discovered the CIA was abiding by the directive Trump gave in August 2018 "that purportedly forbids anyone in the intelligence community from sharing classified information with me."

The White House confirmed the directive was being enforced, which is news considering the New York Times reported in May of last year that the president never revoked Brennan's security clearance.

"The President has constitutional authority to control access to classified information, which he exercised here in view of Mr. Brennan's erratic behavior and the President’s belief that access to classified information should be solely for the benefit of the government and the American people," White House spokesman Judd Deere said.


Brennan, who acknowledges he is in the "crosshairs" of the criminal inquiry into the Russia investigation led by U.S. Attorney John Durham, claimed he asked the CIA for his official records including his personal notes and any classified CIA documents that he had signed, but the agency denied his request.

That's a grossly unfair stance, AtC. If their clearances get pulled when their service or employment is complete, then they can't act as semi-spooks for the media and leak information to further their own careers and ideologies. Why, what you're proposing is tantamount to saying that these glorious men *shouldn't* retain hidden benefits that enrich them in the private sector while they work against the interests of the American people!

Yeah. When someone is severed from my company, all access - electronic and physical - is revoked immediately. If they have given notice, it terminates during their last day of employment and the next trip out the door is the last.

The government is sloppy, incompetent and malevolent. So they don't bother doing it right.

Hospitals remove your access as soon as you quit, are terminated or retire. Naturally no patient info, but when you leave you can't even get in house emails and notifications, let alone emails from former patients about treatment issues or referrals. Amazing that govt people in sensitive positions keep their access.

133 As I and others have said, you do not necessarily need your security clearance revoked. If I remember correctly PDT revoked brennans "Need to Know" which is tantamount to cutting him off cold. For example I have a security clearance but what I also have is a pretty wide access to multiple systems. Each system has very specific "need to know" requirements. You don't just waddle up to a system and say here is my clearance, let me in. They always ask why and who is approving your access

You normally have up to two years after leaving a job to find another position or your clearance expires, assuming it doesn't expire in the meanwhile. The thing about people at the top is that they might be called back to answer questions or provide advice on matters related to their time in their position, and it's easier to keep their clearance up to date and simply have them read back on to whatever they need.

It's not a horrible idea, but obviously has become horribly abused.

Started some epic shouting matches between Top and the S3 ops sergeant that I worked for. The "compromise" was "Congratulations SPC Cur, you are now doing BOTH jobs at once. Don't fuck it up or we'll Article 15 your ass."

If you want something interesting to distract from all this shit, NASA is going to launch a new Mars rover tomorrow. It's dubbed Perseverance and is going to land in Jezero Crater, which they think was the home of an ancient martian lake. It will take samples for an eventual return to Earth (by means not yet worked out).

The most interesting thing is it will include a scouting helicopter. This will be the first aircraft flown on another planet.

The rover also has a powerful laser capable of vaporizing rock at up to 20' away. This will it to analyze rock samples from afar.

Not if that Chinese mission to Mars gets there in time to laser it out of the sky.

How do we know if the Chinese really did launch a Mars Mission? They could just say that and no one could prove different. Sure they had to launch something but who knows what it really was?

We really have been just floating along and we'd better get our game faces on and start assuming that the Chinese are going to cross that Bering Strait again and this time they're bringing better transport than a couple sticks and some hides.

They have more bodies under uniform than any other country. If they could transport them they could assume control over most of the world.

215 The first question for any dysfunctional practice in government, non-profits, or even private companies is cui bono?

In the case of security clearances, high muckety mucks in the Uniparty use it for the grifting opportunities as they revolve in and out the government office doors. Recently, the two spouses that work in DC along with their assorted relatives, also can hang their hat on such things as a signifier that they are a member of the "club".

Republican chair warmers are often just interested in the grift, while Dems chair warmers like the grift plus exercising power from behind the curtains through the interlocking think tank/law firms/lobbying firms. Both species like to preen in the public spotlight as well in the media which aids their other grifting and power goals.

Notice how quickly the PTB came down upon poor ordinary sailor who took some pictures of his sub. Compare his treatment with the CIA bugging senators in the Senate SCIF under Brennan's orders.

The problem is who lives there. A purely on-paper assessment would indicate that these places should be heaven. But they're not, for the same reason that heaven wouldn't be if we could pack our bags and go there as-is and all other things being equal.

First hit on NEED TO KNOW needs repeating.

Furthermore, the day Brennan lost his job his clearance should have been 'administratively suspended' as he no longer works in the field.

When he had proven his habit of making false public statements his clearances should have been permanently revoked.

And of course anyone sharing info with him after that should be charged with espionage. Because that is what it is.

It will land using the "skycrane" system that landed some of the last heavy rovers. The rover is attached under a descent stage, with throttle rocket motors. As it comes in, it slows and hovers with the rockets, then lowers the rover to the ground via cables of some sort.

The descent stage then flies off and crashes well out of the way once the rover is safely on the ground.

Landing on Mars is not exactly old hat yet, so that will be the most dangerous part of the mission.

That's not entirely true.

Okay, to some extent Palo Alto. It's a suburb of Stanford. Big university influence, even control, by the U and its alums.

Mountain View, not so much. It's broadly as middle class as you get in SiliValley and no one company or institution owns the place.

There's a lot of Apple influence in Cupertino, obviously, but it doesn't represent control.

245 187 If you want something interesting to distract from all this shit, NASA is going to launch a new Mars rover tomorrow. It's dubbed Perseverance and is going to land in Jezero Crater, which they think was the home of an ancient martian lake. It will take samples for an eventual return to Earth (by means not yet worked out).

The most interesting thing is it will include a scouting helicopter. This will be the first aircraft flown on another planet.

I read an article about that, so much work has gone into figuring out how to fly an aircraft in the thin atmosphere of Mars. It was really fascinating.

If Barr wants it to look political, and he might, he'll announce indictments as an October Surprise. He should do it in August (or six months ago) if he wants to avoid a "political" label.

305 OT


Just went for a walk to make a bank deposit. My branch closest to work is closed and boarded up and the cash machine had been smashed. So, I had to walk futher.

Found myself on Broadway and Pike, the former entrance to CHOP/CHAZ. The streets were clear, but the storefronts were boarded up, and still trying to do business. I walked by a little taqueria and the co-owner was emptying the trunk of his car with supplies. We met eyes and he said, "stay safe."

I said, has it been pretty bad down here, even in broad daylight?

He said yesterday some skinny white street punks threatened to beat the shit out of him because he wouldn't let them in to ues the restroom, for customers only. This was in the middle of the afternoon. The punks grew in number very quickly and the owner retreated into his store and locked the door. The punks started beating on the glass. He called the cops,and they said they could not interfere unless there was a threat to human life.

The store owner pulled out a baseball bat and his partner pulled an AR from behind the counter.

The punks dispersed, and the owner ordered plywood and was nailing it up the next morning. He is afraid for his life now, and there's not a damn thing he can do.

I asked if he was ready to sell his business. He has been there for 30 years. He said, "who would buy? there is no market for selling a business here."

He is not a fan of lawlessness.
I don't think this will translate to a democrat winning a national election.

315 305 I asked if he was ready to sell his business. He has been there for 30 years. He said, "who would buy? there is no market for selling a business here."

He is not a fan of lawlessness.
I don't think this will translate to a democrat winning a national election.

The rover also has a powerful laser capable of vaporizing rock at up to 20' away.

Does it have Spotify or Pandora premium?

Yes, flying an aircraft on Mars is very different from on Earth. I've read some stuff about it, and they've been thinking about it for some time. One idea was a YUGE fixed wing airplane that would fly all over Mars, staying aloft for about the whole mission, taking pictures and doing low level mapping.

First, the atmosphere is much thinner. MUCH thinner. Then, there is 1/3 g, meaning things weigh only 1/3 of what they would on Earth. So thinner atmosphere changes the lift functions, but things are lighter, needing less lift.

However, inertia is the same. That makes for very different handling characteristics.

Imagine driving your pickup on Mars. Acceleration and braking force requirements would be the same, yet the vehicle would only weigh 1/3 of what it does on Earth. The weight helps to keep it on the ground, and help with braking and traction. Things would be very different.

It would be fun to try that and see what it felt like. However, getting oxygen to run the engine would be a problem. Guess it's Tesla truck time.

327 I think Brennan and Clapper dreamed up the whole caper regarding Trump.

They briefed Obama about it, because I don't think Obama is smart enough or clever enough to think this up on his own.
He approved it.

McCabe was Comey's handler at the FBI. Comey is actually pretty dumb, in my opinion. McCabe was working for Clapper and Brennan, and made sure that Comey did what he was supposed to do at the FBI.

So yeah, I really want to get McCabe. More than Comey, although he is really irritating.
And Brennan and Clapper should swing for this.....as in swing at the end of a rope....for treason.

What they will probably get is the equivalent of a hand slap, although a long trial and appeals may drain away their money and make them miserable, like they did to General Flynn.

That's how exploration used to be done; send the crazies and adrenal junkies and losers with nothing to lose and let them explore the dangers and build the foundations for those who come after.
None of this making every astronaut have to have a freaking college degree and military experience.

You need innovators and people who think outside the box to explore and build on a barren frontier.

That's how it's always been done in the past and one of the things I think we have screwed up on is letting the bureaucrats run the department of space exploration.

Sure put the engineers to work for the hardware but for the down and dirty daily exercise of survival and figuring out how to do it and face the surprises and mistakes you need a different type of person. And a desk flying fat ass isn't it. Neither is a guy who's learned to obey orders and bump decisions upstairs while things collapse around them.

I think Comey would turn long before Brennan. Brennan, Powers, Rice, Strzok and McCabe, Rosenstein seem like true believers. Comey seems more prison averse IMO.
