Former CIA Intelligence Officer Suggests Using ‘Counterterrorism’ Strategies Against The Republican Party

Marc Polymeropoulos (former Senior Intelligence Service officer at the CIA), NBC: The GOP needs a counterradicalization strategy 

It’s not Democrats who must act. We need to find strong voices within the Republican Party. I worked in counterterrorism operations for nearly my entire career at the CIA before retiring in 2019. 

The battle we engaged in with international terrorist groups like Al Qaeda wasn’t just with their legions of foot soldiers but with their highly effective propaganda arms as well. The U.S. and our allies considered those propagandists fundamental cogs in a terror group’s machinery, and just as culpable as any other terrorist. So we held them accountable when innocent civilians were killed. 

Why are these propagandists so dangerous? Because, while they might not supply weapons, they can effectively radicalize individuals to obtain them and put them to use — even from the comfort of their own homes via the internet. They do that by sending the message that violence is permissible, even admirable, in a process of normalization that breaks down the resistance most humans usually experience to such acts. They give them a cause to justify the need for acting out violently, which goads foot soldiers to take steps toward action. And they can provide suggested targets and detailed information on how to carry out attacks.

WNU Editor: Former CIA Intelligence officer Marc Polymeropoulos must be channeling the following quote by Pogo' .... "we have met the enemy, and he is us". It is appalling that NBC is giving this person a platform to spew his hate.

Marc Polymeropoulos is also one of the 51 former intelligence officers who signed a letter that falsely said the Hunter Biden laptop was a Russian disinformation campaign.

Is he suggesting that we arm them and send them to Syria?

what then do we know about Hunter's laptop? Who truly knows what that is all about? If not fully known then any and all things said about it by anyone are total bullshit. Thus far, the FBI is exploring this issue and has not yet made any public statement .

The New York Times admitted earlier this year that the Emails on Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop are real and newsworthy https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/16/us/politics/hunter-biden-tax-bill-investigation.html

Ditto by the Washington Post
https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/03/30/hunter-biden-laptop-data-examined/

The GOP have already stated publicly that their priority will be to investigate the FBI's handling of the Hunter Biden laptop, and to question Hunter Biden directly under oath .... https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/04/politics/gop-investigations-republican-plans-hunter-biden/index.html

I live in FEAR of the FBI. The FBI clothes people in matching light colored khaki pants and blue shirts with ball caps. Some if these people are patsies who do not catch on until some of them are expended and given a record so that the FBI, Democrat politicians and left leaning media can say "Aha look radicals".

The very first iteration were 3 people. there was one white female, one white male and a black male all dressed alike and supposedly were Christian white males angry at the system. It was such a fail.

But the FBI has persisted. There was the bust in Idaho of patsies.

This is not a tangent. there was a high rise fire in Sao Paulo in 1974, big Deal. what was a big deal was that the crowd that gathered to see what was going on started to viciously tell people to jump to their deaths. Those people yelling "JUMP!" did not wake up that morning and think I want to cause someone harm. Psychologist explained it as mob psychology.

Well the FBI paid attention and took notes. So the FBI paid, coerced or asked Ray Epps to stir up the crowd. He was not the only one. Trump said to got to the capital building peacefully. You can argue that Trump should have known better. But it begs the question. When has the FBI been so evil as to infiltrate a crowd with people and instigate violence?

The Patriot Front is so god damn fake.

The FBI is called out on their underhanded fakery.

Yet the FBI persists.

Once the liberals and deep State repeal or get rid of the 1st and 2nd amendment (maybe with a few others), there is no point in living America than anywhere else.

There is soon to be no reason to assert that America is better than Russia or China. There is no reason to call out Russian trolls. It is total 1984 time.

China does have the paranoid, brutal COVID lockdowns. Liberals might try that here again. It all depends on what they need for power or wealth.

HaHaHaHaHa - LOL, that hurts. I’m sorry, but this crap is so stupid; stupid people saying stupid things and we all just keep regurgitating it. LOL, don’t be a sheep!

plz stop posting links that disprove what you imply. Here is what the paper actually said:
"The Justice Department has given no public indication that it has made decisions about any element of the case, and Mr. Biden has not been charged with any crime."
