You think Trump talks funny?

You think Trump talks funny and contradicts himself a day or so later?

Nah, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo talks way funnier and changes his story almost in the same sentence.

I wrote back in February about a speech Mike Pompeo gave in early 2017 when he was still heading up the CIA, wherein he basically said that Julian Assange is "a grave danger" and isn't worth worrying about, and that Assange isn't a true whistleblower or he would have blown the whistle very, very quietly.

He also acknowledged that waterboarding is torture, but said that when Americans waterboard somebody "they are not torturers, they are patriots".

Even the CIA worries about Mike, although they appear to have learned some speech patterns from him. In Aug. 2017 they told, and then untold, some things to the media:

BusinessInsider:

• After numerous CIA officials expressed concern about Director Mike Pompeo's close ties to President Donald Trump ... the CIA dismissed the story as "ridiculous."
• "People have to watch him," an unnamed CIA official told The Post. "It's almost as if he can't resist the impulse to be political."  
• Pompeo has been overseeing the Counterintelligence Mission Center, a role that puts him close to the FBI's ongoing investigation into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia.

Hmmm ... "Counterintelligence Mission Center".  Mission Centres do good, right? Like serving warm soup to those who would otherwise be left out in the cold?

But is Mike unfriending the CIA in favour of the FBI?

Now that Mike's a bona fide Trump-whisperer and former FBI oversighter, the CIA is worried about what secrets he might tell and to whom -- or are they? It's hard to tell with all the differing intel and out-tell.

I dived into the Net to find out if the CIA and the FBI have an annual joint picnic, but came up with only a book entitled "Wedge: The Secret War between the FBI and CIA" which "argues that the agencies' failure to cooperate has seriously endangered U.S. national security".

Well, that's a shame. So the Mission isn't a goodwill mission at all, but instead HAS a mission. Well, the CIA are supposedly good at spying, so what's their real beef? Oh, that's right. There isn't one. The story is "ridiculous".

This is almost as bad as weather statistics; too much for the average human to handle mentally. Maybe that's why we're constantly being distracted by Russia, Iran, North Korea, China, et al. Good way to keep us all believing in America as it slowly falls in upon itself.

Even before Pompeo was appointed Secretary of State by Trump, he was predicting both Russian and Chinese meddling in the upcoming mid-term elections: 

Al Jazeera:
US intelligence chief Pompeo said Russia would try to influence the midterm elections. 

• CIA Director Mike Pompeo has said Russia would target US mid-term elections later this year as part of the Kremlin’s attempt to influence domestic politics across the West, and also warned the world had to do more to push back against Chinese meddling.

The Chinese have already invaded the US, according to Mike Pompeo:

• "We see it in our schools, in our hospitals and medical systems, we see it throughout corporate America. These efforts we have to all be more focused on. We have to do better at pushing back against Chinese efforts to covertly influence the world."

But what if it's true that there are special glasses you can put on that will help you to see that the Chinese are really space aliens that have invaded and made themselves look Chinese! Movie: "They Live (1988)"

Chinese are found everywhere in North America, even as doctors and nurses and teachers. Why hasn't Russia thought of that?

And don't forget bad boy Kim Jong Un!

• "We talk about him having the ability to deliver a nuclear weapon to the United States in a matter of a handful of months."

Questions: How many months can you hold in your hand? And will that weapon delivery be COD? I think that NK would love a Cash-on-Delivery relationship with the US!

Mike likes the word "deliver":
"We deliver nearly every day, personally, to the president the most exquisite truth that we know from the CIA. Whatever the facts may be we deliver them unvarnished as accurately and as forcefully as we can."

Artha: exquisite ~ adj
 1. intense or sharp - exquisite pain or pleasure
 2. lavishly elegant and refined
 3. delicately beautiful - a dainty teacup
 4. of extreme beauty - her exquisite face

Question: Is Trump a masochist? Must be because, if not, I doubt Mike would deliver "exquisite" truth "forcefully".  He'd probably try to serve it in "a dainty teacup" and end up breaking the cup.

It seems the war against China has begun in earnest, and the Chinese are fighting back (the below is a very well-written, entertaining, and above-all insightful read):

South China Morning Post - SCMP:

• So the CIA and FBI are the good guys because you hate Trump?
• Yonden Lhatoo marvels at the role reversal of America’s intelligence agencies from the villains of history to champions of democracy, all because they can’t get along with a belligerent president who just does not trust them.

There you go, Mike. Put that "forcefully" in your "exquisite" tea cup.

Finally: One of the most beautiful things about Russia is the legacy of its writers and poets:

​From The Australian:

• A more pronounced denunciation  [of current state of American politics] came from Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko. His poem was titled Freedom to kill. It was first published in Pravda, then reprinted in The New York Times ...

The Stars
In your Flag
America
Are like bullet holes

The poem was written in 1970 and was not intended to get rid of Trump and install Clinton.
