All hail the king. The CIA is a highly educated and trained organization that has done amazing things to protect America. I suppose you cannot understand the dire ramifications of doing such a thing. Most of them are Repubs. We are not America anymore but Trumpsylvania. He decides everything. You are a sad and list soul helping sweep America go into the dustbin of history.

Lots of suppositions and presumptions in your post, Nerdsperg.

I want a foreign intelligence service that's effective.

The one we have now doesn't appear to be.

New blood is needed.

For those unthinking JPP denizens who equate "experience" with effectiveness ...

Tenure at any intelligence agency is not tantamount to effectiveness.

Here are several reasons why:
  1. Experience vs. Adaptation: While long tenure might bring extensive experience, the rapidly evolving nature of intelligence work (technology, geopolitics, cyber threats) requires constant adaptation. An employee with many years of service might not be as effective if they fail to keep up with new methods, technologies, or global changes.
  2. Bureaucracy and Complacency: Long-term employees might become entrenched in bureaucratic practices, potentially leading to complacency or resistance to change. This can hinder an agency's ability to respond swiftly or creatively to new threats.
  3. Innovation: Newer employees often bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas. Effectiveness in intelligence work can sometimes be more about creativity, lateral thinking, and the ability to integrate new technology than about years of service.
  4. Skill Set Relevance: The skill sets required for intelligence work can change. For instance, someone who was highly effective during the Cold War in traditional espionage might not have the skills needed for modern cyber intelligence operations.
  5. Performance Metrics: Effectiveness is better measured by performance metrics, successful mission outcomes, accuracy of intelligence provided, and contributions to national security rather than just time served. Agencies often have internal evaluations and promotions based on merit, not merely tenure.
  6. Cultural Fit and Leadership: An individual's effectiveness can also depend on their fit within the agency's culture, their leadership qualities, ability to work in teams, and manage complex operations. Tenure alone doesn't guarantee these attributes.
  7. Training and Development: Continuous professional development is crucial. An employee who has been with an agency for decades might be very effective if they've kept up with ongoing training, but this isn't automatically linked to tenure.
  8. External Factors: Sometimes, effectiveness can be influenced by external factors like political climate, budget constraints, or changes in national security priorities, which might not correlate with an employee's length of service.
While long tenure can be indicative of loyalty, experience, and accumulated knowledge, it's not a direct measure of effectiveness. Intelligence agencies value both seasoned professionals and new talent for different reasons. The most effective agencies are those that can leverage the strengths of both groups, fostering environments where experience informs innovation and vice versa.

There have been numerous instances where long-serving CIA officers were convicted of spying for foreign adversaries. Here are a few notable cases:
  • Aldrich Ames: Ames was a CIA officer who spied for the Soviet Union and later Russia. He was arrested in 1994 and convicted of espionage, having compromised numerous CIA assets. His actions led to the deaths of several Soviet agents working for the U.S.
  • Alexander Yuk Ching Ma: A former CIA officer, Ma was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2024 for conspiring to commit espionage for China. His espionage activities were revealed in court documents where he admitted to facilitating the exchange of classified information with Chinese intelligence.
  • Kevin Mallory: Another former CIA officer, Mallory was convicted in 2018 for providing national defense information to China. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2019.
  • Jerry Chun Shing Lee: Lee, once a CIA case officer, was sentenced in 2019 to 19 years in prison for conspiring to spy for China. His activities contributed to the compromise of U.S. intelligence networks in China during the early 2010s.
These cases highlight the significant risks posed by insider threats within intelligence agencies and the severe consequences when such trust is breached.

The big thing is that the CIA runs a shadow government that runs America and runs the Empire, not giving a flying fuck about the Constitution.

They have abused We the People.
