No Kings: the CIA Raided Gabbard, Stole Files She was Going to Declassify

Timothy Birdnow

If true heads need to roll!

CIA Seized JFK, MKUltra Files Out From Under Tulsi Gabbard: Sources

Yes, they likely went into the National Reconnaissance Office to prevent the release of files that could possibly directly implicate them in criminal activity. DNI Gabbard was reviewing them for release to the public.

According to the Daily Caller:

Two intelligence community officials confirmed to the Daily Caller that CIA officials took documents from the JFK and MKUltra files that were being reviewed by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard for declassification.

A CIA whistleblower testified to the Senate Homeland Security committee on Wednesday that the agency "took back 40 boxes of JFK and MKUltra files” and "illegally monitored the computer and phone usage” of Gabbard’s investigators looking into an alleged cover-up of the origins of Covid-19. Notably, MKUltra was an illegal CIA experiment program that used drugs and psychological torture to develop mind control and interrogation techniques.

What are they trying to hide?

The Director of National Intelligence is THEIR boss as much as the Director of the CIA is, more in fact. So they raided their own boss's office and stole information they had no right to take.

This is a very serious crime. It is also proof that the intelligence community thinks they are above the law and that they are the true rulers of this country. Frankly, they aren't wrong on those assumptions, but they are where they are not by popular demand; the public still believes we are in charge of this country. The Intel folks and the Deep State see it differently.

UPDATE on this and more on

@KatiePavlichNN

at 10 pm et on NewsNation. I just spoke to an Intelligence official who told me the following:

-The documents were not taken today and it was not a raid on DNI Gabbard's office

-People from the CIA took documents (related to the JFK assassination/MKUltra) from the National Reconnaissance Office *last year* in the middle of the night during the government shutdown and have not returned/is withholding them from ODNI

-Because the CIA is withholding these documents, they cannot be declassified and scanned for public release

-"The CIA doesn't think they answer to anyone."

-"I doubt [CIA Director] Ratcliffe knew about it"

These are Gestapo tactics, the kind of thing that happens in a Soviet or Fascist state and not a free nation. (Who are the Fascists? Seems to me Trump is the guy playing by the rules and not the Deep State; we have been living in a Fascist state since Obama, surely, and probably since Bill Clinton.)

National security is not supposed to operate on American soil and certainly not supposed to make decisions about what the American People can or cannot be told by their elected representatives. This is a kind of treason, treason against the Constitution of the United States.

Time to disband the Central Intelligence Agency and probably a host of others - including the DIA and NSA. They think they are kings, or at least oligarchs.

P.S. Conservative Treehouse rather sneeringly dismissed this story without presenting any real evidence against it. They just called anyone who thought it might be true stupid and said John Ratcliff and Tulsi Gabbard are friends (as if the CIA Director would sign off on something so illegal himself.)

The fact is this is exactly the kind of thing the CIA would do. Even if it isn't true it doesn't change the fact that the CIA has been running it's own domestic and foreign policy for decades and is in dire need of dismantling.

One commenter on the post made a great point:

So yesterdays CIA DIG director and Covid whistleblower refered to boxes of this same material Mk ultra and JFK files removed from Tulsi s control It was not stated as a raid. It was couched in terms of a hostile act however (hostil to truth) Was he just recurgitated Fox reports? Seems odd from a long term Cia recruiter and anylast, However we are all susceptable to beleiving that which reinforces our own bias I will try and roll through it and see if I can find the relative section

This same CIA spokesman did a press releasee during the hearing read aloud by Senator johnson on the commitees hearing was all showboating and that the whistleblower had been aloud to testify in closed session and that his "whistle blowing” under supeona from the commitee this guy and his team behind him were 100% Tulsi supporters based on statements and the reactions of his team sitting in thr gallery behind himtrialbytruth

This story is being called a raid which is what is making some react to it as fake news, but I would characterize it as a theft of documents. And it happened some time ago.

So is it true? I suspect so but wonder why it's just coming out now. It was probably waiting so as not to tip the hand of the perpetrators so investigations could find out who did it.

Many of the commenters think it is a red herring but why? Nobody could quite elucidate what this would accomplish.

There is something there but it's anybody's guess what it is.

1 I keep hearing this kind of crap and I keep thinking that half the people in DC ought to be tossed in the calabazoo for maybe ten years, for starters.

2 I agree; it's a complete cesspool there. We haven't had government of the People by the People for the People in a long, long time.
