Until one reads "The Secret War Against the Jews: How Western Espionage Betrayed the Jewish People" a person doesn’t understand the bizarre "intelligence" world – as a sniper in Afghanistan, the son of a preacher who joined the army to serve "God and country" told me – the only rationale he can see for that war is power – there are intelligence agencies, each though not elected, are absolutely convinced that they run their country – so they have this bizarre tug a war between the delusional intelligence chief (often with grudges going back decades or more) and the actual will of the people, included their elected officials (the whole spying on America – not to mention encouraged by the nsa,in a host of other countries is a clear testament.)
