thinking about the glowie podcast circuit again. There was a program at the Pentagon that started in 2002 and officially ended in 2008 in which 75 former officers in the military were recruited to be message force-multipliers for the Pentagon when it comes to war. While the program ostensibly ended in 2008 anyone who has watched the news in the last 15 years knows that the former general “independent analyst” circuit is complete smoke-show. Now we see the same thing for the podcast circuit. Mockingbird may have ended in an official capacity as a single program led by a team in CIA, but that mockingbird laid many eggs, and those baby birds eventually grew up to lay eggs, and now the Pentagon, CIA, any of these groups can benefit from the burgeoning self-help-from-spies market and insider podcast circuit to gain legitimacy, without ever revealing anything that wasn’t already at least known through rumours in 2013.

The Epstein Files are supposedly out and we have almost nothing new. Infrastructural and architectural details of how, and yet no one seems to be even able to be held accountable. And every podcast-glowie wants to point the finger at Mossad, which to me sounds a lot like giving the answer the audience wants to hear instead of a real answer. They can’t give a real answer: either the statements about Mossad are false so the CIA doesn’t care, or it’s true and the CIA doesn’t care for entirely self-serving reasons which permits the podcast glowies to say such things. I don’t know about you, but if I had been recruited to CIA only to find out that Mossad was driving the development of teams in my IC national defense service? I’d want to blame them for things that aren’t true where I can get away with it just to sow that dissent.
