Two years later, we're still vulnerable

Two years ago after the Sony hack, Obama announced a new cybersecurity agency. Yesterday I watch two security experts on the opposite side of the political fence tell why there was or wasn't evidence that Putin either did or didn't influence the recent election, both having read the exact same report. Since the intelligence report was released (not leaked as before which was evidence enough of its failure) now the American voter knows how Obama was helpless or ignored a perceived threat to our election because he thought voters would accept the worst of two flawed candidates. It's in the Constitution that the President is supposed to protect us, and he has failed.

 

 Here's my take.  It makes no difference--we'll never find a person who changed her vote; we'll never find a news report that isn't biased.

Americans knew who they were voting for; they knew which candidate insulted the voters; they knew which candidate would continue to use their tax dollars to kill the unborn while doing little to clean up the VA scandals; they knew which candidate would continue the scare stories about climate and which one would try to stop the drugs coming from Mexican drug lords and which would call out Islamic terrorism.

 

Now the American voter wonders what else we're not being told about threats to our power grid, our military, our research records, our health records which he force on to the internet in a cumbersome system,

That said, those same Americans who were sick of the lies and hate knew they would be vilified and ridiculed if they spoke their views to pollsters and anonymous callers. They knew the hate the leftist were directing at them; they'd read about CEOs who'd lost jobs for how they voted in California. 

 

I think the surprise at the Trump win, even from his supporters, had nothing to do with Putin. It had everything to do with the hate, fear and scorn directed at ordinary Americans. It was our very own political power house Democrats from the very top in the White House, to the candidate they chose, to the DNC's Podesta, to the media lap dogs to the Republican never Trumpers and Congressional swamp dwellers who ignored the sluggish economy with all the part time jobs, the street riots and protests, rising health care costs, and illegals pouring over our borders.

Catholics in the CIA

"The United States is a country in which – with the recent exception of the Supreme Court – Catholics have never dominated the highest offices. Only one out of 44 US Presidents has been Catholic. The first and only Catholic Vice President is the current one, Joe Biden. Before John Kerry, the last Catholic Secretary of State was Alexander Haig, who left the post in 1982. Catholics are a rarity in other top positions such as Secretary of Defence.

By contrast, three out of the last five CIA directors have been Catholic: Michael Hayden, Leon Panetta, and the current director, John Brennan. Looking back, a number of Catholics led the agency in critical periods during the Cold War. (There were no Catholic directors in the 1990s.)

Some of the most influential directors in CIA history have been Catholic – men such as Walter Bedell Smith, John McCone, William Colby and William Casey. They were not just casual Catholics. They were devout Mass-goers – in many cases, members of groups like the Knights of Malta. The conspiracy theorists usually start there, with nefarious plots about the Vatican steering world affairs. Of course, they never ask why an all-powerful Vatican can’t engineer more Catholic presidents."

Why so strong in the CIA?  A possible explanation.
