    This is especially hilarious when you know how hilariously inept the Nazi intelligence system worked. There was like five different agencies working on seven different cross purposes as each subunit tried to impress Hitler at the expense of the others.

    British Intelligence led them around by the nose for most of the war. Operation Mincemeat being particularly fantastic. Nazi intel not only bought the whole ruse, but they also second guessed reliable info from then on. The British hogtied them up and slapped them in the ass on a daily basis. Some of the best real life competence porn you’ll find.

    I’ve seen a lot of things coming for the past 25 years. But republicans getting rid of the CIA was definitely not on my bingo card.

    The ones who set up the Imperial Machinery, designed it and carefully groomed it, have accidentally created a “true believer” group of successors. The Empire is now overrun with people who actually believe the designers of Empire’s words, without understanding how or why the Empire functions. Imperialism is eating itself.

    They will happily take their bonuses and go right across the street to join private spy factories, white collar ‘consulting’ in media and tech, as well as all of the dark agencies spun off of the CIA after the Church committee and make their operating budgets selling drugs.
