Deep State Throat Sends a Warning

Power Line, by Lloyd Billingsley

"Donald Trump Followers Targeted by FBI as 2024 Election Nears" headlined the October 4 report in Newsweek. "The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump's army of MAGA followers." Author William M. Arkin, an "award-winning journalist" and author of best-selling books, thus sets the tone right from the top. Donald Trump has "followers," language readers might expect for a religious cult leader, and these followers constitute an "army." The challenge for the FBI, Arkin explains,

he federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump's army of MAGA followers.
The challenge for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the primary federal agency charged with law enforcement, is to pursue and prevent what it calls domestic terrorism without direct reference to political parties or affiliations-even though the vast majority of its current "anti-government" investigations are of Trump supporters, according to classified data obtained by Newsweek.
"The FBI is in an almost impossible position," says a current FBI official, who requested anonymity to discuss highly sensitive internal matters. The official said that the FBI is intent on stopping domestic terrorism and any repeat of the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. But the Bureau must also preserve the Constitutional right of all Americans to campaign, speak freely and protest the government. By focusing on former president Trump and his MAGA (Make America Great Again) supporters, the official said, the Bureau runs the risk of provoking the very anti-government activists that the terrorism agencies hope to counter.

FBI Ramps Up Spending to Fight MAGA Terrorism
By William M. Arkin On 12/05/22 at 5:00 AM EST
1 of 3

The FBI is conducting three times as many domestic terrorism investigations than it was five years ago, with 70 percent of its open cases focused on "civil unrest" and anti-government activity, according to FBI documents and government specialists. The Bureau has also quietly changed the general classification of white supremacy, antisemitism, abortion-, and anti-LGBTQI -related extremism to "hate crimes" rather than "terrorisM." Since terrorism remains the top national security priority, this has lowered the visibility and resources dedicated to those issues.

The FBI considers all violent acts (and threats of violence) with a political motive to be terrorism, a senior government official explains to Newsweek. But not all acts of extremism are considered terrorisM. "If an act is focused on the government, it's terrorism," the source says. "But if extremism is focused on private individuals or institutions, it's considered just a crime or classified as a hate crime." The source was granted anonymity to speak about classified matters.

On one level, the senior government source says, this is a more precise definition of domestic terrorism: the label is applied only to acts with political motives and mass casualties. But in reality, the tweaked classification inserts the FBI and counterterror investigators into the political life of the nation.

According to internal FBI numbers obtained by Newsweek, "Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremism" was considered the prime threat (and dominated investigations) before January 6. Since then, anti-government, "anti-authority" and civil unrest cases have taken over as the number one threat, making up almost 90 percent of all investigations.

"A hate crime is targeted violence motivated by the offender's bias against a person's actual or perceived characteristics," said an FBI report issued in October, "while a DT [domestic terrorism] incident involves acts dangerous to human life that are in violation of criminal laws and in furtherance of a social or political goal." As the number of cases involving politics has expanded, the FBI has doubled the number of agents working on the subject.

"It's not because the FBI is partisan, but more because society … and Washington remains obsessed with January 6 and Donald Trump," says the senior government official. "It doesn't matter whether the activity is left or right, anti-Biden or anti-Trump," the official says. "That's the pool of suspected terrorists. In other words, the focus now is political terrorisM."

Of 2,700 open cases, where an individual or group of individuals has been designated domestic terrorists by the FBI, almost a third relate to the 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol or subsequent political activity connected to it. Since then, the counter-terrorism agencies have also focused on the transnational links of domestic individuals and groups-an approach that provides the intelligence agencies more authority to conduct surveillance and intrusive collection of information.

Domestic terrorism investigations are being conducted in all fifty states and in all 56 FBI field offices, the FBI says, with more than double the number of investigators assigned to domestic terrorism work since January 6. FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on November 17, discussing the number of open cases and what the FBI labels "domestic violent extremisM."

"Individuals based and operating primarily within the United States or its territories without direction or inspiration from a foreign terrorist group or other foreign power who seek to further political or social goals, wholly or in part, through unlawful acts of force or violence are described as DVEs [domestic violent extremists]," Wray told the Committee. (Foreign-inspired domestic terrorists are called HVEs, homeland violent extremists.)

The FBI uses five categories to describe violent extremism: Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists (RMVEs), including white supremacists; Anti-Government or Anti-Authority Violent Extremists (AGAAVEs), including everyone from militias to Antifa; violent extremism associated with "civil unrest"; animal rights/environmental violent extremists; and abortion-related violent extremists.

They are so secret that under these extraordinary plans, "devolution" could circumvent the normal Constitutional provisions for government succession, and military commanders could be placed in control around America.

"We're in new territory," says one senior officer, the entire post-9/11 paradigm of emergency planning thrown out the window. The officer jokes, in the kind of morbid humor characteristic of this slow-moving disaster, that America had better learn who Gen. Terrence J. O'Shaughnessy is.

He is the "combatant commander" for the United States and would in theory be in charge if Washington were eviscerated. That is, until a new civilian leader could be installed.

'We're in territory we've never been in before'

What happens, government expert Norman Ornstein asked last week, if so many members of Congress come down with the coronavirus that the legislature cannot meet or cannot muster a quorum? After 9/11, Ornstein and others, alarmed by how little Washington had prepared for such possibilities, created a bipartisan Continuity of Government Commission to examine precisely these and other possibilities.

It has been a two-decade long futile effort, Ornstein says, with Congress uninterested or unable to either pass new laws or create working procedures that would allow emergency and remote operations. The rest of the federal government equally is unprepared to operate if a pandemic were to hit the very people called upon to lead in an emergency. That is why for the first time, other than planning for the aftermath of a nuclear war, extraordinary procedures are being contemplated.

In the past, almost every imagined contingency associated with emergency preparedness has assumed civil and military assistance coming from the outside. One military officer involved in continuity planning calls it a "cavalry" mentality: that military assistance is requested or ordered after local civil authority has been exhausted.

"There might not be an outside," the officer says, asking that she not be named because she is speaking about sensitive matters.

In recognition of the equal vulnerability of military forces, the Pentagon has instituted unprecedented restrictions on off-base travel. Last Wednesday it restricted most overseas travel for 60 days, and then on Friday issued supplemental domestic guidance that essentially keeps all uniformed personnel on or near military bases. There are exceptions, including travel that is "mission-essential," the Pentagon says.

Mission essential in this regard applies to the maze of more than a dozen different secret assignments, most of them falling under three larger contingency plans:

Exclusive: Secret Commandos with Shoot-to-Kill Authority Were at the Capitol
BY William M. Arkin ON 1/3/22 AT 5:00 AM EST


In this daily series, Newsweek explores the steps that led to the January 6 Capitol Riot.
On Sunday, January 3, the heads of a half-dozen elite government special operations teams met in Quantico, Virginia, to go over potential threats, contingencies, and plans for the upcoming Joint Session of Congress. The meeting, and the subsequent deployment of these shadowy commandos on January 6, has never before been revealed.
Right after the New Year, Jeffrey A. Rosen, the acting Attorney General on January 6, approved implementation of long-standing contingency plans dealing with the most extreme possibilities: an attack on President Donald Trump or Vice President Mike Pence, a terrorist attack involving a weapon of mass destruction, and a declaration of measures to implement continuity of government, requiring protection and movement of presidential successors.

Rosen made a unilateral decision to take the preparatory steps to deploy Justice Department and so-called "national" forces. There was no formal request from the U.S. Capitol Police, the Secret Service, or the Metropolitan Police Department-in fact, no external request from any agency. The leadership in Justice and the FBI anticipated the worst and decided to act independently, the special operations forces lurking behind the scenes.

"I believe that DOJ [Department of Justice] reasonably prepared for contingencies ahead of January 6, understanding that there was considerable uncertainty as to how many people would arrive, who those people would be, and precisely what purposes they would pursue," Rosen later told Congress. He stressed that his department "no frontline role with respect to crowd control," that they were focused on "high-risk" operations.




The presence of these extraordinary forces under the control of the Attorney General-and mostly operating under contingency plans that Congress and the U.S. Capitol Police were not privy to-added an additional layer of highly armed responders. The role that the military played in this highly classified operation is still unknown, though FBI sources tell Newsweek that military operators seconded to the FBI, and those on alert as part of the National Mission Force, were present in the metropolitan area. The lingering question is: What was it that the Justice Department saw that provoked it to see January 6 as an extraordinary event, something that the other agencies evidently missed.

After 9/11, No Americans Were Held to Account. Here's Why That's Dangerous
BY William M. Arkin ON 09/10/21 AT 5:00 AM EDT

https://www.newsweek.com/2021/09/17/after-9-11-no-americans-were-held-account-heres-why-thats-dangerous-1627683.html

September 11 is the most studied day of our lifetimes. Almost everyone who was old enough remembers the details-where they were, how they felt, what it meant to theM. It remains unforgettable.

The U.S. intelligence community had known some sort of terrorist attack was on the way but failed to focus or to act. After 9/11, there was finger-pointing at President George W. Bush and the White House, between the previous Bill Clinton and Bush administrations, at the CIA, NSA, FBI and even at the Pentagon. The government pledged to do better: to break down barriers to intelligence analysis and sharing, and to organize itself so that such a catastrophic event would never happen again.

But even in the immediate aftermath there were more powerful emotions that overshadowed the desire for reforM. The desire for revenge propelled the administration of George W. Bush to declare a global war. Panic within the government drove the secret agencies to take their own liberties-through warrantless surveillance, torture and secret prisons, arbitrary watch listing, domestic spying and more. And though reforms did follow, including the largest reorganization of government in 50 years, government performance again faltered. September 11 was followed by other intelligence debacles, from the faulty reports regarding Iraq's weapons of mass destruction to the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan last month: a long line of failures that yearn for accountability.

Polls show that a majority of Americans remain bewildered about the attack, the perpetrators and the reason. And most everyone laments Washington's political and partisan machinations and the decline of American institutions. However, few connect today's national friction to the aftermath of 9/11. Yes, the government has (so far) succeeded in preventing another such attack on U.S. soil, but an even greater disaster in endless war and the collapse of civic life sullies the achievement.

And despite legions of blue ribbon panels to review what happened, despite subsequent revelations of wrongdoing, despite administrations promising to do better, the basic reality of government was exposed: No one is held accountable-not a White House official or top government agency director, not an intelligence analyst or FBI agent, not even a lowly airport security screener.

The cost of government secrecy has also been exposed. It nurtures our world of alternative facts and undermines public faith in government motivations and authority. Secrecy has also fed a generational gap, with young people indifferent to or confused about national security, an entire new generation seeking their own agendas with regard to what is vital for the country and the world.

So yes: We will never forget. But a more interesting question at the 20th anniversary is what we should remember-or more, what should we learn?

cont: https://newspunch.com/cia-pilot-presents-evidence-that-no-planes-hit-towers-on-911/


NO PLANES ANYWHERE

Most people in the 9/11 Truth community accept that no planes were used at the Pentagon and Shanksville; the evidence shows no real planes were used for the towers either.
In conclusion we can be 100% certain the planes were not real. Apart from defying the laws of physics with impossible crash dynamics the planes do not even look real. The question is: are the planes digital composites (CGI) inserted into real video or is it a 3D projected image using advanced technology not known to the public? Richard D Hall's 3D radar data analysis has confirmed that the trajectory of the "planes" in all the videos match up with the radar data. If video fakery was used i.e the planes were digital composites, the question can be asked why would they go to the trouble of making sure all the "plane" videos match up with the radar data but do such a poor job of rendering the planes which look like poor quality CGI, Why does the wing momentarily disappear in six different videos? This is a still from the Hezarkhani video showing a digital composite plane on the top and the original "plane" from the Hezarkhani video underneath: http://imageshack.com/a/img198/7545/n16q.jpg The digital composite plane looks more realistic. Here is a video showing how easy it is to create a digital composite plane and insert it into real video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rml2TL5N8ds Here is another example of a digital composite plane inserted into the Evan Fairbanks video: http://imageshack.com/a/img834/7263/qsM.gif Why would they create such poor quality CGI planes that look different in different videos? If the planes were a digital composite it should look the same in every video. Based on Richard D Hall's radar data analysis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5DgFcpsxes), the witness testimony and the fact the left wing disappears in 4 videos and the right wing in 2 videos the evidence points to the plane being a 3D projection. Richard D Hall believes there may have been a solid object, probably a small missile at the centre of the "illusion", with an image of a Boeing 767 being projected around it.

ADVANCED HOLOGRAM TECHNOLOGY?

The holographic projector displays a three-dimensional visual image in a desired location, removed from the display generator. The projector can be used for psychological operations and strategic perception management. It is also useful for optical deception and cloaking, providing a momentary distraction when engaging an unsophisticated adversary."

This technology was reported in the media before 9/11 pertaining to military psychological operations (PSYOPS).

A few notable quotes (emphasis added):

According to a military physicist given the task of looking into the hologram idea, the feasibility had been established of projecting large, three-dimensional objects that appeared to float in the air.

...washingtonpost.com has learned that a super secret program was established in 1994 to pursue the very technology for PSYOPS application. The "Holographic Projector" is described in a classified Air Force document as a system to "project information power from space ... for special operations deception missions."

Exclusive: Inside the Military's Secret Undercover Army

By William M. Arkin On 5/17/21 at 5:30 AM EDT
he largest undercover force the world has ever known is the one created by the Pentagon over the past decade. Some 60,000 people now belong to this secret army, many working under masked identities and in low profile, all part of a broad program called "signature reduction." The force, more than ten times the size of the clandestine elements of the CIA, carries out domestic and foreign assignments, both in military uniforms and under civilian cover, in real life and online, sometimes hiding in private businesses and consultancies, some of them household name companies.

The unprecedented shift has placed an ever greater number of soldiers, civilians, and contractors working under false identities, partly as a natural result in the growth of secret special forces but also as an intentional response to the challenges of traveling and operating in an increasingly transparent world. The explosion of Pentagon cyber warfare, moreover, has led to thousands of spies who carry out their day-to-day work in various made-up personas, the very type of nefarious operations the United States decries when Russian and Chinese spies do the same.

Newsweek's exclusive report on this secret world is the result of a two-year investigation involving the examination of over 600 resumes and 1,000 job postings, dozens of Freedom of Information Act requests, and scores of interviews with participants and defense decision-makers. What emerges is a window into not just a little-known sector of the American military, but also a completely unregulated practice. No one knows the program's total size, and the explosion of signature reduction has never been examined for its impact on military policies and culture. Congress has never held a hearing on the subject. And yet the military developing this gigantic clandestine force challenges U.S. laws, the Geneva Conventions, the code of military conduct and basic accountability.

Wictor's theory is based on this entire article
But to give a sense of how sensitive the employment of military forces on American soil is, when the New York National Guard arrived in New Rochelle last week, even though they were operating under the control of the governor, Mayor Noam Bramson still found it necessary to assure the public that no one in military uniform would have any "policing function."

Local authorities around America are already expressing worries that they have insufficient equipment, particularly ventilators, to deal with a possible influx of coronavirus patients, the number of hospital beds fewer than the potential number of patients that could need theM. And brawls have already broken out in stores where products are in short supply. The worst case is that shortages and violence spreads, that the federal military, isolated and kept healthy behind its own barricade, is called to take over.

Orders have already gone out that Secretary of Defense Esper and his deputy, David Norquist, remain physically separated, to guard against both of them becoming incapacitated. Other national security agencies are following suit, and the White House continuity specialists are readying evacuation should the virus sweep through the Executive Mansion.

The plans state that the government continues essential functions under all circumstances, even if that is with the devolved second string or under temporary military command. One of the "national essential functions", according to Federal Continuity Directive 1 is that the government "provid[e] leadership visible to the Nation and the world … [while] maintaining the trust and confidence of the American people" The question is whether a faceless elite could ever provide that confidence, preserving government command but also adding to public panic. That could be a virus too.

Exclusive: Inside The Military's Top Secret Plans If Coronavirus Cripples the Government
By William M. Arkin On 03/18/20 at 7:00
AM EDT

Part 1 of 5 (or maybe 4)
Even as President Trump says he tested negative for coronavirus, the COVID-19 pandemic raises the fear that huge swaths of the executive branch or even Congress and the Supreme Court could also be disabled, forcing the implementation of "continuity of government" plans that include evacuating Washington and "devolving" leadership to second-tier officials in remote and quarantined locations.

But Coronavirus is also new territory, where the military itself is vulnerable and the disaster scenarios being contemplated including the possibility of widespread domestic violence as a result of food shortages are forcing planners to look at what are called "extraordinary circumstances".

Above-Top Secret contingency plans already exist for what the military is supposed to do if all the Constitutional successors are incapacitated. Standby orders were issued more than three weeks ago to ready these plans, not just to protect Washington but also to prepare for the possibility of some form of martial law.

According to new documents and interviews with military experts, the various plans - codenamed Octagon, Freejack and Zodiac - are the underground laws to ensure government continuity. They are so secret that under these extraordinary plans, "devolution" could circumvent the normal Constitutional provisions for government succession, and military commanders could be placed in control around America.

"We're in new territory," says one senior officer, the entire post-9/11 paradigm of emergency planning thrown out the window. The officer jokes, in the kind of morbid humor characteristic of this slow-moving disaster, that America had better learn who Gen. Terrence J. O'Shaughnessy is.

He is the "combatant commander" for the United States and would in theory be in charge if Washington were eviscerated. That is, until a new civilian leader could be installed.

'We're in territory we've never been in before'

What happens, government expert Norman Ornstein asked last week, if so many members of Congress come down with the coronavirus that the legislature cannot meet or cannot muster a quorum? After 9/11, Ornstein and others, alarmed by how little Washington had prepared for such possibilities, created a bipartisan Continuity of Government Commission to examine precisely these and other possibilities.

White House Asks U.S. Spies to Study Russian Hacks

Aug. 30, 2016, 11:45 AM MST / Updated Aug. 30, 2016, 11:45 AM MST

By William M. Arkin, Robert Windrem and Ken Dilanian

Top-Secret 'Deception Committee' Tasked With Studying Russian Hacks
AUG. 30, 201602:20
Editor's Note: This story has been revised to reflect comment from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

The White House has ordered a special intelligence task force to examine the implications of Russia's recent hacks of U.S. political organizations, U.S. intelligence officials tell NBC News.

According to one official, the classified national study is being conducted by the Foreign Denial and Deception Committee, a Cold War-era organization that is part of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

The committee traditionally has advised the DNI on foreign attempts to thwart U.S. intelligence through trickery. But in the cyber era, the committee has increasingly looked at how nation states use computer attacks to conduct espionage and spread propaganda.

Russia, China, North Korea, Iran are primary subjects, the official said.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, however, denies that ODNI or any committee under ODNI is conducting an assessment of the Russian hacks of the U.S. political systeM.

In a statement Thursday, Brian Hale, the ODNI spokesman, said that the Foreign Denial and Deception Committee "is not conducting any studies related to alleged Russian hacking of U.S. political organizations, nor has the Committee been asked to conduct any study by the National Security Council."

But the senior official who told NBC News that the committee is undertaking the effort stands by that account.


Russian hackers are targeting US election databases, experts warn
AUG. 30, 201600:29
The consensus among U.S. intelligence analysts is that Russia is seeking to undermine confidence in the U.S. system, using the hacks into the Democratic National Committee, state election systems and other targets that have yet to be made public, as part of a larger campaign. Whether Russia can directly manipulate voting machines or "hack" into election systems, they say, is not clear and is mainly outside the jurisdiction of U.S. intelligence.

Intelligence analysts are uncertain about the Russian government's intentions relating to U.S. politics, but they don't believe Russia is actively trying to favor Republican Donald Trump, as some have suggested. Instead, Russia may be trying to foment chaos.

"Let's just throw some spaghetti on the wall, and whatever sticks, sticks," said one senior Congressional aide briefed on intelligence, describing a likely scenario.

The latest Russian hacks became public this week with the news that two state election systems, in Illinois and Arizona, were targeted.

Illinois officials said in July that they shut down their state's voter registration after a hack. State officials said Monday the hackers downloaded information on as many 200,000 people.

In Arizona, "a known Russian hacker was able to capture the user name and password of a county election employee and they posted that user name and password online," Matt Roberts, a spokesman for the secretary of state's office, told NBC News.

The password was used in an attempt to breach the voter registration file, but it wasn't successful, he said.

Still, the state took its online voter registration down for nine days, beginning in late June. It has enhanced its cyber security measures, Roberts said.

Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House intelligence committee, told NBC News Tuesday that the implications were "staggering."

It would be "negligent," he said, for any state election agency not to have a paper back-up for its electronic voting systeM.

Schiff said he is not able to discuss what he has been told in classified settings, but all publicly available evidence points to Russia, he said.

The matter has become a top tier concern of U.S. intelligence agencies, he added.

"I have recently become concerned that the threat of the Russian government tampering in our presidential election is more extensive than widely known and may include the intent to falsify official election results," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid wrote in an Aug. 27 letter to FBI Director James Comey dated Aug. 27 first reported by the New York Times

""Readers - We republish this translated piece from Eurasia Daily, though it is simply a summary of Newsweek's own article from early February, linked below for full disclosure. Despite the accuracy of this report of Newsweek's journalism, and the accuracy of our headline - we expect tremendous censorship and risks associated with that, as a result of our dedication to inform the American people during this time of great concern and duress.

This is about transparency and journalism, the future of the US Republic under ostensibly constitutional governance - of, by, and for the people - an ethical standard of reporting which we hold dear.

Please excuse some awkward phrasings and Europeanization of government position terms (ministry of defense instead of defense department, etc.) as is inevitable in a quick translation

If you agree that this is something your fellow countrymen should read, then please share it far and wide. For our part, we cannot feature this on our own social media accounts for reasons which by now are probably obvious to you - J. Flores"

"US authorities are taking practical steps to introduce a state of emergency in which power can pass from civilian to military. This is reported by a large article by William M. Arkin published in Newsweek entitled " Exclusive: inside top-secret military plans in case the coronavirus cripples the government ." [The Newsweek article is copied further below.-MJS].

An article in Newsweek reported that on February 1, 2020, US Secretary of Defense Mark T. Esper signed orders directing NORTHCOM to implement nationwide plans to fight the pandemic. In addition, Minister Esper also secretly signed Warning Orders, WARNORDs to NORTHCOM and its subordinate military units on the US East Coast "to deploy in support of potential emergency missions."

Top-secret emergency plans have been prepared not only to protect the capital of the country - Washington, but also for the possible introduction of martial law in one form or another in the United States. The plans include actions by the US military in case "all constitutional successors are incapable."

Various plans, codenamed Octagon, Freejack, and Zodiac, provide for the continuity of government. According to these emergency plans, the transfer of power is bypassing the usual constitutional procedures for the succession of the government. According to them, military commanders can take control of certain territories of the country or even all of America."

Cracks Appear in Mainstream Media's 'Perpetual War' Machine

As historians know, events of great significance are sometimes put into motion by some seemingly irrelevant occurrence. This week's shot across the bow of the mainstream media by one of its erstwhile members probably won't trigger a stampede for the exits, but it did provide for a timely wake-up call.

Although probably no more harmless than the fluttering of a butterfly's wings deep inside the Amazon rainforest, news that veteran journalist William M. Arkin severed relations with NBC over its relentless pro-war, anti-Trump narrative was exactly the message the omnipotent media kings needed to hear as attacks on alternative (i.e. conservative) voices have reached totalitarian proportions.

In a farewell letter to his colleagues, Arkin said he was "alarmed at how quick NBC is to mechanically argue the contrary, to be in favor of policies that just spell more conflict and more war."

"We shouldn't get out Syria," he asked rhetorically, suggesting Trump's particular brand of foreign policy has not been a total flop. "We shouldn't go for the bold move of denuclearizing the Korean peninsula? Even on Russia ... do we really yearn for the Cold War?"

Senior NBC Reporter Quits: "It's Deep State Propaganda"

William M. Arkin, a veteran national security reporter, wrote a scathing farewell message to his colleagues, warning them that NBC has given endless war and 'destructive' intelligence agencies a free pass due to their around-the-clock anti-Trump hysteria.

Rt.com reports: Arkin had a number of pointed words to share with his fellow reporters before his last day of work at NBC on Friday - 2,228, to be exact. In his farewell memo - which reads more like a manifesto than a goodbye -the veteran muckraker accused NBC of peddling "ho-hum reporting" that "essentially condones" endless American military presence in the Middle East and North Africa. He also took the network to task for not reporting "the failures of the generals and national security leaders," essentially becoming "a defender of the government against Trump" and a "cheerleader for open and subtle threat mongering."

Long-time Reporter Quits NBC, Exposes Them for Promoting 'Perpetual War' and 'Threat Mongering'

A journalist of 30 years has up and quit NBC in a fit of well-placed rage and took to exposing the mainstream network for promoting war and stoking irrelevant divide.

NBC News has given endless war and 'destructive' intelligence agencies a free pass, all while fixating on around-the-clock Trump hysteria, a veteran national security reporter wrote in a biting farewell message to his colleagues.

William M. Arkin had a number of pointed words to share with his fellow reporters before his last day of work at NBC on Friday - 2,228, to be exact. In his farewell memo - which reads more like a manifesto than a goodbye -the veteran muckraker accused NBC of peddling "ho-hum reporting" that "essentially condones" endless American military presence in the Middle East and North Africa. He also took the network to task for not reporting "the failures of the generals and national security leaders," essentially becoming "a defender of the government against Trump" and a "cheerleader for open and subtle threat mongering."

Arkin expressed concern that NBC's infatuation with the "Trump circus" has distracted journalists from pressing stories that need to be told.

"I'm more worried about how much we are missing. Hence my desire to take a step back and think why so little changes with regard to America's wars," he wrote.

He continued by questioning the media's fanatical opposition to Trump's desire to improve relations with Russia, denuclearize North Korea, and withdraw from Syria.

"I'm alarmed at how quick NBC is to mechanically argue the contrary, to be in favor of policies that just spell more conflict and more war. Really? We shouldn't get out Syria? We shouldn't go for the bold move of denuclearizing the Korean peninsula? Even on Russia, though we should be concerned about the brittleness of our democracy that it is so vulnerable to manipulation, do we really yearn for the Cold War? And don't even get me started with the FBI: What? We now lionize this historically destructive institution?" he quipped.

If anyone is qualified to critique NBC's military and national security reporting, it would be Arkin. The veteran journalist has worked for the network intermittently for the last 30 years, and co-authored a seminal Washington Post investigation revealing the dangerous rise of America's security state.
