\u201cI know nothing. I saw nothing. I don\u2019t remember. I cannot say publicly.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

These are the words for Trump\u2019s top \u201cintelligence\u201d officers, who made a sad public display of their knowledge void and their ability to answer questions before the Senate Intelligence Committee that could offend their benefactor, Trump.<\/p>\n

This is the nation\u2019s \u201cintelligence team\u201d\u2013FBI Director Kash Patel, C.I.A. Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard\u2014who appeared before the Committee. Their response was pathetic to what many intelligence veterans consider a major security breach only amateurs make.<\/p>\n

With an intelligence team like this, who needs enemies?<\/p>\n

But despite the feeble responses from the nation\u2019s top intelligence officials, there is a bright side: Gabbard and Ratcliff\u2019s responses seem to shift the blame to the grossly unqualified Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Hegseth was a laughable choice for the post, but his right-wing Christian nationalist tattoos and FOX pedigree made him memorable to Trump.<\/p>\n

The stage is set for round two of the internal Trump Cabinet fight between Hegseth, Gabbard, and Ratliff over who should take the blame for this gross intelligence failure. This fight will be the second one.\u00a0 A few weeks ago, the oligarch Elon Musk and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had an earlier fight during a Cabinet meeting, according to reports.\u00a0 This is what happens when you have amateurs and better-qualified people (really, only Rubio) in a Cabinet run by a sociopath and convicted criminal who controls your job.<\/p>\n

We can look forward to the next cage match between Trump\u2019s Cabinet.\u00a0 We will all watch to see who the first Trump Cabinet member is the first to walk the plank and take the fall for their incompetent boss, Trump.<\/p>\n

But, back to the Congressional testimony.<\/p>\n

Telling the Truth or Appeasing Trump<\/strong><\/h3>\n

These Trump sycophants had to put any answers to questions the Democratic Senators asked them through two filters: the truth and how Trump would respond to their answers.\u00a0 This is a challenging task for anyone because they had to conform their answers to how a mentally ill boss like Trump would interpret their answers.\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

That accounts for the score of \u201cI can\u2019t remember\u201d answers this team made to the Senator\u2019s questions.\u00a0 I can\u2019t remember\u201d is akin to invoking the Fifth Amendment against testifying against themselves.\u00a0 In this case, testifying against themselves would be the equivalent of saying, \u201cI really don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on. Get me out of here. When is lunch?\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not very comforting when\u00a0 Ratcliffe, the CIA boss, says he cannot remember.\u00a0 Agents are taught to remember everything they see in all the spy, FBI, and CIA movies.\u00a0 But Ratcliffe cannot remember much about attacking the Houthis in Yemen, which was discussed over the past week.<\/p>\n

This is not believable, but Gabbard and Ratcliff should say they had a memory lapse rather than say they were sleeping at the time or were part of the incompetent gang running the country.<\/p>\n

Anyone watching the testimony would say it was similar to the responses given in World \"\" War II movies from officers who said, \u201cI don\u2019t remember. I don\u2019t know,\u201d and, best of all, \u201cI was only following orders.\u201d If that sounds familiar, it should. It was the old answer given by Hitler\u2019s military and civilian followers during WWII.<\/p>\n

An excellent question for the Democratic Senators to ask this group was whether the CIA was planning to destabilize and invade Canada, and Greenland<\/a>. The intelligence expert Malcolm Nance said this plan is in the works for Trump\u2019s new expansionist plans.\u00a0 So, what will the CIA and the military do?<\/p>\n

Invading Canada and Greenland should be the peak of Trump\u2019s fascist foreign policy agenda, and many Americans should hit the streets if this happens.<\/p>\n

A Carnival of Fools<\/p>\n

According to Public Citizen, this discussion was more significant than what the TV hearings showed.\u00a0 Here is a list of the people involved in this discussion:<\/p>\n
