We are officially watching Donald Trump face off against the Central Intelligence Agency on the national stage in a “war of words,” which could have grave implications.
Outgoing CIA Director John Brennan went on national television on “Fox News Sunday,” and warned Trump to “watch what he says.”
“They are the ones that are going to be able to give him some wise counsel about what he needs to do and not be very spontaneous in his words and his actions,” Brennan said. "Spontaneity is not something that protects national security interests and so therefore when he speaks or when he reacts, just make sure he understands that the implications and impact on the United States could be profound.”
In response, Trump took to his Twitter account and blasted Brennan, claiming that he “couldn’t do much worse” than President Obama has already done in Syria and Ukraine, and that because of his comments, Brennan must be the leaker of “fake news.”
These comments come after Trump criticized the Intelligence Community on Wednesday, for falling for an unverified report that claimed Russia had compromising information on Trump. “One last shot at me,” He wrote on Twitter. “Are we living in Nazi Germany?”
The question is, why is Trump going against the CIA in such an aggressive way?
Well, the mainstream media—especially the Washington Post—has stuck to the story that Russia meddled in the U.S. election by allegedly hacking the email accounts of DNC officials and then releasing their emails in order to sway Americans to vote for Trump.
We have all been waiting for evidence… and yet, in addition to a series of vague, anonymous reports, when the Intelligence Community did finally provide a report of its own, it blamed the network “RT” for allegedly influencing Americans to vote for Trump in 2016—by using programs it aired in 2014.
Obama is also stirring up conflict by expanding the NSA’s power. Last week, he signed an executive order that would allow the NSA to share unfiltered information—which it collects illegally from innocent American citizens—with agencies such as the FBI, the DEA and the Department of Homeland Security.
Now, there is a lot of speculation online that Trump will be assassinated by the CIA. The reason people are suggesting this possibility is because the last president who went after the CIA as aggressively as Trump is now, was John F. Kennedy, who promised to shred the agency into a thousand pieces after firing then-CIA Director Allen Dulles. After JFK was assassinated, Dulles was in put in charge of the investigation into JFK’s murder.
We don’t know what the CIA will do, but we do know what they have been caught red-handed many times—drug-trafficking, influencing the Vietnam war, influencing the Iraq War, overthrowing foreign governments, assassinating world leaders—and now many political experts are describing the CIA as a government agency that has “gone rogue,” because there is no way to hold it accountable, due to the fact that everything they do is in secret.
How do you think the fight between Donald Trump and the CIA will continue to unfold? Let us know in the comments!

Woah. First of all very well written article. Second, several hours ago as I was driving from the grocery store I had this same exact thought about JFK...
BTW check out this interesting idea someone posted on our alpha test system
Decentralised Intelligence Agency
With all the fake news and more or less reliable sources, its time to take the next step and decentralise intelligence agencies.
DIA token holders will decide which reports will be generated. Reports will then be sold freely to anyone willing to pay for them.

Note that this is just a test system, but I thought this was quite clever and interesting.
Great article, very good writing too. Thanks a bunch for this huge amount of information I was highly unaware of. All for one and one for all!!! Namaste :)
Enjoyed reading your take on a real mess of a situation.
Great article that was reader friendly.
When will the "truther community" stop talking about politics? Do you all not realize that our "government" is a corporation and 100% illegitimate? Discussing politics is the same thing as discussing the NFL or WWE wrestling. WAKE UP and unplug yourself from the Matrix Luke.
I agree.
In regards to the article; there is most definitely an active coup going on. However, Donald Trump is on the side of those perpetrating it, and what we are seeing now is merely the oppositions last efforts to defend themselves from the loss of power.
Donald Trump is not good for America. He is just another oligarch, who is stealing the power from another group of oligarchs that have long held the power. I suspect that this is what pizzagate is really about. Don't misinterpret me, I believe that the accusations behind pizzagate hold water, but the question we should be asking is; why after this has been going on for so long are we only just finding out about it?
Is it because of the wikileaks dumps? Or is it because of the released paedophile code that allowed us to decipher the emails from wikileaks? Then we must ask, who chose to share the code with us...?
I am starting to think it was orchestrated by powers that would like to see Donald Trump in office, and it appears to have worked. Though, the previous holders or power are not going to so easily give up what they have come to love, so I would be ready for the possibility that something may go down on inauguration day.
Should it, the sentiment should not be, "Oh no, we lost the president who cared about us and was going to make change." but rather, "If another billionaire and his billionaire corporate buddies cannot remove these evil cunts from power, then we had better get innovative in finding a way to do it ourselves."
You play their game brother, which is- TO GET YOU INVOLVED IN THEIR GAME. The name of the game is FEAR. Politics are not only totally redundant (and a symptom of our ignorance and obedience), but also extremely detrimental for Human Evolution. We Are Masters Creators, we DO NOT NEED TO BE GOVERNED. Period.
Good to see an awakened Human! Thank you for this brother @fulltimegeek ! Following you now!
Thank you. I just checked your blog page and your art is amazing. Followed back.
Luke, you give a shout out to the privately owned company Patreon but not a peep about the decentralized freedom of speech revolution Steemit? I find that suspicious.
It's a conspiracy
Cleverly funny.
It's the end of the bush/Clinton crime family coup!!
Long live the new tyrant!
Without their propaganda power of mainstream disinformation there is little they can do. The dam has broken and thousands of more trumps will be coming forward over the next few years.
Keep it up Luke. If Trump gets popped everyone is going to point the finger at them.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is just another bit of theater, actors, the whole lot of them. We shall see.
I count myself lucky I saw this Trump 2016 series back when it was released, it sure helped me avoid the Trump train and the rollercoaster ride of Selection 2016.

Keep up the good work Luke.

If Trump is really The Muscovian Candidate then I hope the CIA does act independently to undermine any Russian influence in the USA.
I should clarify this to mean intervention by non-violent means.
Brilliant read!
For the incoming president to berate the entire intelligence community, and talk about getting rid of NATO, and denigrate all of our allies at the same time praising Putin and Russia ...this is dangerous foreign policy upset. Words do mean something, especially when coming out of our President!
and Putin! Talk about a propaganda machine and a free press quasher and secretive agencies! and They kill journalists who do not toe the line. They want a destabilized Europe and a split America which is what Trump is suggesting he wants as well. For the incoming president to claim that any negative press about him is 'fake news' is outrageous. He is an empty suit trying to run things like a television show, and Russia has him by the b*lls.
All True!
I can tell you that if the CIA wants you dead...you are dead. I had some experience with them in Vietnam and Central America. I would encourage Mr. Trump to step up his private security (I'm sure he has already). When you're dealing with the agency, a war of words can soon escalate. I believe that what Obama was trying to do with his executive order is to bring the intelligence community closer in a joint effort to make the transition of power as difficult for Trump as possible. The CIA has their fingers in a lot of pies, he should be very careful.
Interesting!
African American unemployment is at an 18 year low.
Female unemployment is at a 17 year low.
Hispanic unemployment is at an all time low.
Tell me again how racist Trump is.
