The "media ecosystem" has never been "pure." But its corruption has been intensified by media organs valorizing, amplifying, and employing huge numbers of intelligence officials since 2016 -- enabling them to shape public opinion on an unprecedented scalehttps://twitter.com/john_sipher/status/1135519625725169664 …

So yeah, I object to the unprecedented co-optation of the American media ecosystem by security state officials, and will continue pointing out the danger of this, even when such officials like John Sipher tweet tendentious things about mehttps://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1135249782337921024 …

Of course, the last President who had an entire term of "peacetime" was Carter, so that doesn't help either.

No, it was Dec. 22, 1963. That was the point, exactly 1 month after the JFK assasination.pic.twitter.com/zmi8vRpsfR

Considering what had happened ONE MONTH BEFORE Harry Truman wrote that op ed for Washington Post, takes Harry Trumans words to another level. Especially since Truman's op ed was ONLY IN the Dec 1963 WaPo 1st printing. WaPo pulled Truman's opinion piece from subsequent issues.

They are only supposed to collect information (Intelligence). Yet they are "operational". Including engaging in operations in which they assassinate people.

Wait, Truman predates 2016 and describes a phenomenon in existence prior to 2016. I’m trying to figure out how your narrative about the Deep State somehow implicates the entire Left as your Twitter-ouvre has been consistently implying.

Truman was concerned about the CIA's mission creep, specifically that "the last thing we needed was for the CIA to be seized upon as something akin to a subverting influence in the affairs of other people" The CIA being on TV all the time is exactly what he feared.

the Truman administration was one of the worst this country has had. If he didn't want to have a police state agency why did he setup the CIA / NSA.
