... Where are the american intelligence services? Even members of the general public have known Trump is a Russian asset for decades. So why havent they been taking action against him? How could they even let him run for president in the first place? Why do they not shut him down even now? Have they too been massively compromised the same way? I simply do not understand it. Please ELI5.

If Trump wins, do they really have another choice but to develop their own nuclear weapon?

In almost every war, taking out the opposing leadership is priority number one. It is not revenge. It is pure military logic. Without a president, general staff, or supreme leader, there are no clear orders. The entire command and control system collapses. The army fragments into uncoordinated units. Panic sets in over succession, and soldiers’ will to fight evaporates. A headless enemy stops fighting effectively and that saves enormous blood and time in the long run.This is exactly the so-called Decapitation Strategy that Israel and the United States are using at full scale against Iran today (February 28, 2026). Joint strikes are directly targeting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, President Masoud Pezeshkian, the chief of the armed forces, and senior generals of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).Why specifically Iran’s leadership?
Because Tehran does not just command its own army. It centrally controls an entire network of proxies (Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis). IRGC commanders plan and coordinate missile, drone, and terror attacks against Israel and U.S. targets. Eliminating these heads severs the whole chain: no more orders to Beirut, Sanaa, or Gaza, no coordinated mass attacks, and no escalation into a full regional war.On top of that, Iran’s nuclear and missile programs are driven by this very leadership. Removing it is meant to stop both programs permanently and create the conditions for long-term regime change. This is exactly what President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu stated openly today. In short: Leadership is always the most important and most vulnerable target. Whoever hits it first often wins the war before it even fully begins. That has been true for thousands of years and it is exactly what is happening in Iran right now.

I have over twenty years of experience in intelligence and counterintelligence. Throughout my intelligence career, I have found that intelligence work has its own rules.In the case of recruiting agents, from digging to hiring to closing, consists of many steps, each of which is critical. First, potentially great talent has to be identified, which requires a unique perspective and an extensive social network. Next, these talents are assessed to ensure they have the required skills and experience. Then, create a development plan for them to maximize their potential. Finally, terminating the employment relationship when it is not a good fit also requires decisiveness. In this process, money is an effective and simple tool to motivate and alleviate difficulties in the recruitment process. Intelligence agencies around the world are looking for people who can provide valuable intelligence and information. These people may come from different fields, backgrounds and nationalities, but they all have to provide intelligence to prove their worth. The quantity and quality of intelligence directly affects its value. A low-value Afghan or economic intelligence officer may only earn between $200 and $2,000 per month, whereas an intelligence officer who has worked for the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or China's Ministry of State Security (MSS) can earn at least $200,000 per year. Typically, intelligence officers have long-term relationships with foreign agents, who receive a fixed monthly salary plus bonuses. For exceptional contributions, agents may also receive a lump sum and an ongoing stipend, as well as subsequent relocation expenses. Money, while motivating, is not a panacea, and in my practical experience operating in the intelligence community and human intelligence business, money is rarely the sole motivator for agents. This may sound surprising, but it is the case.

Allegation: CIA bribed its own COVID-19 origin team to reject lab-leak theory, an anonymous whistleblower claims.
An unnamed Central Intelligence Agency whistleblower has made the dramatic allegation that six analysts there were bribed to reject the theory that COVID-19 resulted from a research-related leak of a new coronavirus, according to a press release today from the office of the Republican leading a congressional investigation into the pandemic. The allegation was strongly rejected in a CIA statement released hours later.
A majority of U.S. intelligence agencies have so far concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic mostly likely started when SARS-CoV-2 jumped from an infected animal host into people; a wildlife market in Wuhan, China, has received intense attention from researchers as the potential source. But the Department of Energy and FBI so far have favored the so-called lab-leak hypothesis, even though none of the agencies has expressed high confidence in their conclusions on COVID-19’s origin. CIA, for example, had reportedly said it was “unable to determine” whether SARS-CoV-2 made a direct jump from animals to humans—or came from a lab.
Now, Representative Brad Wenstrup, who chairs the House of Representatives’s Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, says his panel and the House’s Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence have heard testimony from a whistleblower “who presents as a highly credible senior-level CIA officer.” According to the press release, the whistleblower testified that only the most senior analyst of a seven-member CIA team investigating the origin of COVID-19 supported the zoonotic transmission theory. The whistleblower alleged the other six team members supporting the lab origin then received “a significant monetary incentive to change their position,” wrote Wenstrup and Representative Mike Turner, who chairs the intelligence panel.

The 2011 RQ-170 Sentinel capture directly led to Iran’s development of the Shahed-129 and indirectly contributed to the Shahed-136, which has been extensively used by Russia in Ukraine. Other drones, like the Shahed-171 Simorgh and Saegheh series, also emerged from studying the RQ-170, though their use has been more limited. The capture gave Iran a technological edge in airframe design, manufacturing, and UAV production, enabling it to become a major drone exporter. While Iran’s drones don’t match the RQ-170’s sophistication, their affordability and scalability—seen in Ukraine—stem from lessons learned in 2011.

The RQ-170, operated by the CIA, was likely conducting surveillance on Iran’s nuclear program when it was captured, either through GPS spoofing or jamming, as Iran claimed, or possibly due to a technical failure (the exact details remain murky). The loss of such advanced technology was a significant blow, and it’s no surprise you’d question the decision-making behind it.

While there’s no public evidence confirming who specifically authorized the mission or whether anyone was demoted, the operation’s risks were clear: flying a stealth drone over hostile territory carried the potential for capture, which is exactly what happened. The fallout was substantial—Iran reverse-engineered the RQ-170, leading to drones like the Shahed-129, and the incident exposed sensitive U.S. tech to adversaries. Some speculate it strained U.S.-Israel relations, as Israel had a keen interest in Iran’s nuclear program, but the U.S. took the lead (and the hit) on this one.

The decision to greenlight the mission likely came from high-level CIA or Pentagon officials, weighing the value of real-time intel against the risk of losing the drone. Post-9/11, the U.S. was aggressive in monitoring Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and Natanz was a prime target. Still, the loss sparked debate about operational oversight and whether the mission underestimated Iran’s electronic warfare capabilities. No declassified records point to specific demotions, but incidents like this often lead to internal reviews and, yeah, probably some choice words behind closed doors.

l don't believe Andrew bustamante also John kiriakou both of them claim work for cia with no proof anyone can jump on the internet saying part of British royal family and some idiot fall for it look at real cia gary webb who exposed cia selling drug in black coummity magically died .also went to congress to exposed cia but Andrew John go to congress? short answer no l find suspicious especially on Andrew because he says people went hear Jeffrey Epstein working for mossad also bullshit storytelling look YouTube comments call him out for lying about Russia take over Ukraine under three days and wrong about that btw can you video triggernometry

if they was possibility Andrew did he probably shit at his job especially John get popular on titok due fact bullshit story that make no sense hummus on someone's ass l'm not joking search up titok John doesn't even making convincing idea he actually for cia.

IF ACTUALLY WORK CIA THEY PROBABLY MAKING LOOK GROUP RETARDED . anyway l don't think this guys actually work CIA and laughing in background people believe anything now days short answer Andrew bustamante and John kiriakou lying grifter fraud who looking for a quick buck for Money

The first time I came across this guy was a clip of him where he was deriding Reza Pahlavi. The criticism wasn’t political, and he used personal insults against Pahlavi, including calling his father a degenerate and accusing him of having an affair with his brother’s wife which led to his brother committing suicide. In another clip which I saw after searching his name, he labelled Pahlavi as a cuck cuz his wife is allegedly cheating on him publicly with her PT. 

But then I also came across a podcast where John talked about his own wife cheating on him. I did some research on his married life afterwards, and apparently both of his ex-wives cheated on him. I don’t get how come this guy has the audacity to personally insult someone, calling them a cuck and accusing them of having extra marital affairs when he himself got cucked? 

He’s quite uninformed on Iranian society. In that same clip, he was arguing that the only Iranians who support monarchy live in LA and they are Mossad agents. That is so far from the truth. Say whatever you wanna say about Pahlavi, but he does enjoy support inside Iran. He also said that Reza Pahlavi’s wife having an affair is utterly unacceptable in Islamic culture, which I found quite problematic. Is cheating acceptable in non-Islamic cultures? He’s Greek so do they tolerate infidelity in Greece? I would expect an ex-cia officer to be well informed of societies where they used to operate. A lot of Iranians, particularly the rich urbanite ones are quite westernised. 

I find him fishy ngl

I’ve been working on a structured case study of the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, trying to avoid conspiratorial noise and stick to what can’t be explained.

My current theory is that Stephen Paddock acted as the shooter but was not operating with his own motive. The core idea: he was manipulated, groomed, or coerced into executing a mass shooting plan designed by an outside actor — possibly for surveillance or data collection purposes. It’s the only explanation that aligns with all confirmed facts while accounting for the massive psychological gap in motive.

What I’ve already explored:

•	Official reports (FBI, LVMPD)
•	Autopsy details, fingerprint confirmation
•	Surveillance and Mandalay staff ID confirms it was Paddock
•	Ballistics and shooting timeline locked to his suite
•	The hard drive was removed pre-event
•	Tactical camera setup suggests hallway monitoring, not escape planning
•	Zero personal motive: no manifesto, no ideology, no life collapse

What’s weird:

•	He had the resources and prep timeline of a covert actor, not a lone shooter
•	He fired for only 10 minutes despite having more weapons and time
•	He removed the laptop’s drive but brought the laptop anyway (likely to view live hallway feeds)
•	He killed himself without engaging police, with no final message

What I’ve ruled out:

•	Body double
•	Psychotic break / tumor
•	Second shooter
•	Simple revenge motive

What I need:

•	Gaps I’ve missed
•	Questions I haven’t asked
•	Counter-theories that actually align with forensic evidence

TL;DR: I think Paddock was a gunman, not the architect. If true, someone else ran the show — and erased the motive. Any suggestions on what angle to pursue next?

Whatever happened to this story? Nikki Haley brought it up at the presidential debates, and there was a bit of news on it last year, but nothing for a while now. This seems like a huge deal to me, if China is developing weapons that can control the brains of people, it is scary. I believe I’m the victim of one such weapon but it’s very difficult to prove. Anybody know why this never got follow up investigation?

re Canada’s National Security Measures and Foreign Student Visa Program Putting Us in Danger?

In June 2023, Muhammad Shahzeb Khan entered Canada on a student visa and soon plotted a terrorist attack in New York. While Immigration Minister Mark Miller claims our security systems are working, evidence suggests Canada’s screening process is far from secure.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/terror-suspect-entered-canada-with-student-visa-in-june-2023-immigration-minister-confirms-1.7032432

Just consider:

The same month Khan entered Canada, three Indian nationals, allegedly connected to Indian intelligence, were involved in the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in BC.

Moustafa Eldidi and his son gained access to Canada and were later flagged by French intelligence after nearly carrying out an attack in Toronto.

These individuals gained entry through Canada's weak security screening—and it doesn’t stop there. Post-secondary institutions in Canada are exploiting the foreign student visa program, charging sky-high tuition fees to international students. Many fly-by-night institutions offer little actual education but serve as a gateway to Canada for those with dubious intentions. These schools care more about profit than national security, and the lack of scrutiny is leaving us vulnerable.

What’s worse? Both Khan and Eldidi were only flagged by foreign intelligence agencies like the FBI and French authorities, not by our own systems.

Does this sound like a system that’s working? Or are we allowing foreign interference and terrorist elements to infiltrate Canada for the sake of profits?

Let’s discuss this issue in the comments. Is the student visa program a security threat or just a cash cow for universities?

Most countries in the world don't have their streets mapped out on the Internet as the U.S. does. Could this accessibility to extensive data on U.S. cities, and 3D street views be used as a weapon?
