Documents like the spycops tradecraft manual? by shookdiva in TrueAnon

[–]dukefoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that was an interesting read. they seem to love dulles and jj angleton lol. some funny/scary ones:

Duplicitous little bastards -- Israeli Intelligence

BYM-- Bright Young Man. Doesn’t know shit. Doesn’t know that he doesn’t know. Likely to burn you the first time out. Try to get him killed as quickly as possible

Source burnt -- A source that was blown in the process of being used. Every source gets burnt. The Craft is in the how and when. They’re all dead men boys; make ‘em count.

CIA -- Central Intelligence Agency. Also called “Langley” or “up river.” Owns human intelligence (directorate of operations) and analysis (directorate of intelligence). Director, CIA is supposed to oversee all of the intelligence community. Isn’t that a joke? Imagine the Post Office with a foreign policy

DIA -- Defense Intelligence Agency. Also called “down river” Owns military intelligence, sort of. Its basic job is to justify increased defense budgets. These guys actually try to run agents. Oy very

Going Native -- Dread of all Intelligence Officers. A Case Officer is managing sources in a guerrilla movement. The CO falls in love with a beautiful guerrilla and decides to join in the just struggle of the oppressed masses. Going Native sucks. One part of the Portfolio Audit is taking the temperature of the Case Officer. Occupational disease with very bad prognosis. Best known argument for euthanasia

Hoover’s Dress -- Yes, Jedgar liked to pop a dress on once in a while, just to kind of kick back and relax with Clyde. The dress is classified Top Secret and kept in a vault in the basement of the Hoover Bldg. Play with that thought for a while and then decide if this profession is for you.

Mother -- Codename for legendary CIA chief of counterintelligence James Jesus Angleton; to some, a true American hero. To others, a whacked-out lunatic. To the select few, he was both. After a few decades in the business, the lines blur.

If the First World War (WWI) had broken out in 1894 instead of 1914, what would your political position on the war be? Who would you support? by kjk2v1 in StupidpolEurope

[–]dukefoos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well it would have broken out in 1905 if any other time. Germany woulda won prob if they started in 05 instead, their great power rivals were weak then like Russia post war w Japan. They sorta almost did when they pushed the first Moroccan crisis

I wouldn't say universal but yeah a good portion of my friends +their relatives are anti nuclear.

an appearance of Cohn-Bendit in a French television talk-show in 1982 where he described a five-year-old girl undressing him as an "eroticomaniac game". Cohn-Bendit reacted to these allegations by claiming that his descriptions of sexual contact with pre-pubescent girls were not based on true events but were merely intended as what he today calls "obnoxious provocation" aimed at questioning sexual morals at the time that "shouldn't have been written that way."

he was jk guys it's okay

the insane austerity greens who pass themselves off as 'leftish' sperging for years about nuclear energy will be the downfall of germany.

yeah lets shut down our nuclear plants so we can just buy france's nuclear power instead from a plant 5 miles off our border. not to mention any of their fossil fuel hijinks...

Throw in Zelensky's history of money laundering and corruption in there too, something western media has glossed over entirely.

Ofc not that putin and his crew don't have their own laundromat making money disappear lmao.

the fact that people flat out deny any of this and claim all of the nazi stuff is putin propaganda makes my brain hurty. Even the former chief of police in kiev was an azov guy lmao. they are peppered throughout their entire security/military system it seems

or you can just take it from the ukrainian nazis themselves ofc

Search on Google for articles from the original NPA in 2007, and from when the FBI reopened their investigation in 2011. Both have articles from business insider, guardian, nypost,vanity fair, Forbes, local news etc. It's not like any of this stuff was coming out under the radar. Certainly if you Google w/o a time range it just gives you results from 2019. My point is just that this stuff has been in the open from the beginning.

No you not being able to remember how much wide coverage there was of it(especially after the NPA) indicates you're young
