Whether these guys know it or not

they are mere DEEPLY REDUCED tools of statecraft. So, while i have no "proof" of each of these folks' stupidized actions, i see the pattern (also known as "institutional analysis"). They may be retired spooks or they may be simply pawns. Slaves. Entrapped in their Misery Loves Company. Like seemingly "most". Or at least a CRUCIAL minority. Not knowing any better, and while they come at us with so much venom, they also teach their handlers about their OWN "cards" in "the game"; thus why so many of these human tools get so badly dealt with (according to my limited study, of course), i.e. when the funding runs out.... They always get "played". Dupes is all they are, i see. Some are professionals tho, and it has been my effort to try to warn the best i know how. Like Rainbow 'Shanti Sina' shouting "7-up" at the approach of federal, armed, forest rangers, i try to warn my families!!
