EX-CIA OPERATIVE LOBBIES FOR “BULLET HOLE IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD”
We’re not sure how we missed this (the internet is kinda big) but earlier this week InfoWars picked up on a column published back on August 4 by former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operative Herbert E. Meyer.
In his column, Meyer – a special assistant to the CIA director and vice chairman of the agency’s National Intelligence Council (NIC) under the administration of Ronald Reagan – outlines precisely the sort of thinking that guides this antiquated assemblage of “Cold Warmongers.”
You know … the people who have seen such rousing success by picking a fight with Russian president Vladimir Putin over Ukraine.
“If there is any lesson to be learned from studying European history — or from growing up in a Brooklyn school yard as opposed to, say, attending the most exclusive prep school in Hawaii — it’s that thugs like Putin don’t stop because they’ve been punished or because they see the error of their ways,” Meyer wrote. “Thugs have a high tolerance for pain, and they are incapable of changing their behavior. They keep going until someone takes them out — permanently — with a knockout punch.”
According to Meyer, “the objective of our sanctions strategy should be to get the Russians who’ve been keeping Putin in power, or tolerating Putin in power, to throw that knockout punch.”
Um … actually the objective of our “sanctions strategy” should be to do no harm to our own economy.
Just so there’s no confusion here, though … what is the “knockout punch” to which Meyer is referring?
“If Putin is too too stubborn to acknowledge that his career is over, and the only way to get him out of the Kremlin is feet-first, with a bullet hole in the back of his head — that would also be okay with us,” he wrote.
Nice …
We have no problem with Russian leaders taking out Putin – if they so desire. If there’s one country that knows how to throw off oppressive yokes, it’s the Russians. But America should have no role in that process – just as our government shouldn’t have instigated the Ukrainian crisis in the first place by engineering the ouster of the country’s democratically elected leader.
Seriously … how can America claim to be “making the world safe for democracy” while at the same time conspiring to overturn the results of democratic elections?
More to the point: With our government more than $17.6 trillion in debt (and with all sorts of problems on the home front) … why are we attempting to do either?

We didn’t push out the Ukranian President. We had nothing to do with it.
It was an internal problem between the European and Russian backed citizens.
They want you to believe that because a US diplomat had a phone conversation and funded some NGOs, that constitutes a coup.
Those folks change their logic and argument premise to suit their current conversation (FITS does this too). One week, the US is so feckless and wandering that we couldn’t intimidate a Girl Scout out of a box of Thin Mints; the next week we fund a couple of anti-gov’t NGO’s and radio stations and manage to topple an entire government in a matter of months from behind the scenes. Although the truth is (as usual) somewhere in between those extremes, we can’t be both. “Feckless dumbass” and “badass agent provocateur” are mutually exclusive terms.
What in the world are you talking about? The US pushed out the Ukrainian President? The world must have totally missed something or you made that up.
And how did we pick a fight with Putin over Ukraine? We haven’t done crap, but rather largely watched it go down from the sidelines with the rest of the world. Slow news week I suppose.
I wish we did pick a fight over Ukraine which I know you disagree with, but this Admin is great at inaction, especially in this case. So I’m going to call this one complete BS.
You just dont get it.
1. Putin offers 2 billion to Ukraine to break negotiations with Europe.
2. US gives money to NGOs. They are so effective controlling events in other countries. Suddenly there are riots in the streets.
3. Russia cuts off oil.
4. A US diplomat has a phone conversation, speculating about future leaders.
5. Russia sends green men to Crimea.
6. Russia sends guns tanks, missles, mercenaries and soldiers to fight in eastern Ukraine
8. US imposes targeted sanctions.
9. Russia shoots down miltary and civilian airplanes.
Can’t you see. This is all America’s fault. After all Russia was only reacting to the US provocations.
Do commenters on here read anything else besides FitsNews? The whole “revolution” was heavily sponsored and helped by the CIA and other intelligence agencies. The rest of the world is well aware of it.
You always post here. Why?
Indeed. Everything Bush and Obama have done has been from a cold war perspective. Taking out old Soviet satellite states in the ME, isolating Russia by pushing Nato right up to her borders, trying to take away her warm water port in Crimea. So now we have the cold war again–at a minimum–and we have the CIA assassins making statements reminiscent of the sixties when LBJ called them Murder, Inc. Does anyone not recognize what this means–that cold war loonies are running things and Obama is just a puppet?
Do counties have a right to control “satellite” states? I’m confused. Didn’t Russia take Ukraine’s warm water port? Didn’t those countries join NATO for their own protection and make their own choice?
As for assassination the CIA was a failure. This comes from Wikipedia.

Assassinations
Of the cases cited, it appears that no CIA personnel or even directly controlled foreign agents actually killed any leader, but there certainly were cases where the CIA knew of, or supported, plots to overthrow foreign leaders. In the cases of Lumumba, Qasim, and Castro, the CIA was involved in preparing to kill the individual, but a native group killed him first. In other cases, such as Diem, the Agency knew of a plot but did not warn him, and communications at White House level indicated that the Agency had, with approval, told the plotters the US didn’t object to their plan. The gun or poison, however, was not in the hands of a CIA officer.
CIA personnel were involved in attempted assassinations of foreign government leaders such as Fidel Castro. They provided support to those that killed Patrice Lumumba. In yet another category was noninterference in the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) coup in which President Ngo Dinh Diem was killed.
A distinction has been drawn between political assassinations and”targeted killing” of leaders of non-state belligerents.

So the CIA is off the hook because you claim they aren’t very good at it? lol, nice rationale.
Just remember, we don’t know everything those boys do over there, there’s a good chance they’ve been successful and we just don’t know about it because they don’t get to tell everyone.
Castro once made a funny mocking statement along the lines of, “Every time I officially travel [e.g., presumably meaning out of Cuba] it looks like safari season at the CIA.”
Kennedy wanted to kill Castro. Not sure I’d try that w/ putin, especially with all the Communists in the Democrat Party, willing to do their bidding.
Instead, Johnson and his war machine cronies got Kennedy, first.
Put down the ‘History in the Alcohol-soaked Mind of Oliver Stone’ book.
Truth is: You don’t cross the Mob and the Communists, like Kennedy did, when there are Communists in your own political party….and you owed the Mafia for getting you elected…
Yep. And you don’t kidnap Carlos Marcello and drop him in a jungle in Guatemala without paying a price.
Shoot Putin
…. looks like he just took a shower
Lets kill him
Why? He seems to have less contempt and disdain for American citizens and taxpayers than a lot of the politicians we keep sending back to Washington, over, and over, and over. He has a problem with those politicians same as we do, just from a different perspective. He’d probably do more for us if he were in their offices than a lot of those politicians do.
Putin-Netanyahu 2016
Proven Leadership
Proven Ability to “Work With” Congress
Did he mention Netanyahoo too? Or Cheney?
Cheney? Wouldn’t that require a silver bullet?
You can say Russia this, CIA that and be right. The real reason for this story is Putin announced he will out President Obama as a homosexual within 100 days…back on 11AUG2014. You know how well the Establishment has kept this from the American people. Equally astounding as to the great lengths they take to hide Michelle being a Tranny.
LoL.
Give Putin and Obama a 357 mag and have a dual on world wide TV. Who do you think would win?
As a naturalized citizen of the United States, I am embarrassed by the very fact that we have a rogue, yet taxpayer funded agency called the C.I.A. Sadly, we now have even more clandestine organizations with various and sundry acronyms, practicing their black opt arts across the globe. I read just yesterday where the U.S. Coast Guard fired on a boat in the Persian Gulf. Our government has been hijacked and is now being utilized by the global elite as their personal pit bull, sic’d on whatever country tries to opt out as participants in their global agenda. Most disconcerting is the fact that the rest of the World see’s clearly what our government is doing while Americans are so deep in their slumberous belief in what the mainstream media has been spoon feeding them that they can’t even see what’s really happening let alone grasping how truly diabolical the actions of those whose tax dollars they’re supporting are.
