      I'm sure it was obviously natural causes.
      People just get to that age where they sometimes spontaneously form two close spaced holes in their forehead in between their eyebrows.

    he was shaken up and thought Slotkin intended to threaten him. The tracker, who passed away not long after the incident

    so she killed the guy, really burying the lede just mentioning the dogs names

    The CIA knows how to do two things; overthrow democratically elected socialist governments, and find out the names of people‘s dogs.

    Never date a deep state girl boss who calls herself a dog mom on Tinder because she’ll 100% feed your corpse to her emotional support golden-doodles.

    Something about these smug CIA types and the way they throw their political weight around so casually infuriates me

      It’s actually pretty cool because that’s the kind of mentality that gets you caught when you actually have to do spy shit. Like how China took down an entire cia spy network. It was probably because a few dumbasses said the wrong thing to the wrong person.

        they are basically told they are gods walking earth and history somewhat supports this.

        obviously we are at like 3rd generation failkids now though but there is still the structure, power and money there behind them.

        hubris of empire at it's most potent and decayed, etc etc

    To me when I want to better contextualize what I'm reading when I'm reading about former CIA (who haven't tried to better their ways), I like to substitute in different terms to help wash out the lib brainworms; basically I think of it as ex-Gestapo who served in Poland asking a guy about his pets (could also mention the guy died shortly after, but I've no idea if the real guy in this scenario died or had an unfortunate incident). The term CIA doesn't turn people off like it really should.

    Doesn't really make you wonder, how CIA lost most of their foreign deep cover assets in the span of few years
