The intelligence apparatus produces its own bizarre code of so-called morality. From Kayla Carman at strategic-culture.su:
The intelligence community presents itself as the bulwark against chaos. In reality, it is often the chaos engine itself.
There is a peculiar alchemy in the world of intelligence work. Spend long enough marinating in the culture of suspicion, and reality itself warps. Every handshake is a coded exchange, every silence conceals a plot, and every stranger is a potential assassin in disguise. In this worldview, the universe is an endless chessboard of threat and counter-threat — and the only sane response is to move first, hit harder, and never, ever let the other side see you blink. It is a mindset that breeds not guardians, but paranoiacs with security clearances; not peacekeepers, but professional arsonists armed with plausible deniability.
The public is told these agencies are our shield — the last line between us and anarchy. We are sold an endless parade of threats, each requiring more secrecy, more surveillance, and more latitude for shadowy actors to do “what must be done”. The problem is that the line between protector and perpetrator has long since dissolved. The very institutions that claim to keep us safe are often the ones creating the dangers they then heroically “save” us from.
Domestically, their aim is less about defending liberty than managing the population. The FBI’s COINTELPRO operation wasn’t dismantling terror cells; it was dismantling dissent. Civil rights leaders, anti-war activists, and union organisers were wiretapped, infiltrated, and in some cases blackmailed into silence. Martin Luther King Jr, whose crime was speaking too effectively against injustice, was subjected to surveillance so obsessive it bordered on psychosis. Across the Atlantic, Britain’s Special Demonstration Squad embedded officers into protest groups for decades, with some maintaining romantic relationships under false identities. When the truth emerged, it was less James Bond and more EastEnders meets Kafka.
The same tactics persist in modern form. Peaceful protests find themselves salted with plainclothes agents who mysteriously seem to be the first to throw a brick, conveniently inviting a police crackdown. Whatever did happen to Ray Epps? In Canada’s 2022 trucker protests, there was no need for water cannons — the financial system itself became the weapon, freezing bank accounts and cutting people off from their own money for the crime of political disobedience.
I think of Reinhard Heydrich of the Sicherheitsdienst-SD when I think of intelligence, Himmler raided his safe before the body was cold when the Czech Patriots succeeded in their Kamikaze mission.
The British knew their would be brutal reprisals, they didn’t want the Czechs getting too cozy in the protectorate.
We never learn from the past, like abused captors, we keep believing the very people who are bleeding the planet to save us from the atrocities they are committing.
What this government has proven is that no matter the intent or moral discipline, governments (and every agency it creates) cannot be trusted under any circumstance. It always attracts the worst to its offices of power and corruption and murder always follow. Do not try to control a bureauacracy, or instill moral virtues into it. Eliminate it and its ability to control or direct society. The moment a governing body moves toward control it has revealed itself for what it is. The only solution is to not give it control over you.
