Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.
I'm sick of hearing that the taxpayers should not "confuse" the "rank-and-file" cia employees with those who have corrupted the agency. If one rank-an-file employee is aware of the corruption - and says NOTHING - then the entire agency is corrupt.
100%!!!
One can say something. But one saying somethijng doesnt change it. So why say smething if yoi know that/?
And the CIA _definitely_ has not "fallen".
Do you know what they do to those who open their mouths? If not ask Eric Snowden. If he would have been much higher in the intell agencies. They would have killed him.
Exactly right. It’s the “rank-and-file” that are what make up the whole rotten mess.
Defund FBI and CIA
Abolish!!
Do you also demand to go blind? Maybe increased oversight might be a better course of action.
There is no fix for this. The Intelligence organizations have gotten too powerful, political and corrupt to be reformed. These people hate us and have more in common with the enemies of this country than the average American.
@@snuffyballparks6501 If oversight had some teeth, I'd agree. But watching Garland, Wray, Mayorkas, et al, stone wall everything Congress requests and ignore direct questions leaves oversight impotent. Clearly something must be done. Funding them per request is a non-starter unless meaningful consequences for not answering to Congress are included.
CIA = Big Government that Lumumba distrusted. Abolish.
Nothing can fix this level of corruption. It's beyond repair!
The CIA has failed their mission In 2020 after China declared war on us, a virus came out of Wuhan. I wonder what Italy did to get attacked first!! ????
Not too late to get the country back to what it's supposed to be. Read The Great We-Set by David M. Zuniga.
Which is why it needs to get gotten rid of.

Incompetence breeds incompetence. It’s everywhere in US gov’t.
Yes. I think you struck the nail there. No consequences for failure or corruption. That goes for all government organizations. Yes we need an intelligence agency, but until there's an effective fix for that, well..
Someone tell this guy the government has done this to every small business in America. Business owners spend tons of time paying fees and wasting tons of time trying to figure out if & how and what rules to be in "compliance". None of that busy work has anything to do with serving my customers or growing my business. It does raise the price of the products to the customer. Running business would be a breeze if it weren't for government bureaucracy.
Amen, brother...well said!
The first year I was in business (2003) I kept track of every penny. At the end of the year, I found that I paid more than 80% of my profits to the government in one form of tax or another.
The second year I was in business, cash transactions weren't recorded anywhere.
Big business controls the government and big business hates little business.
7:57 I think Americans know the Truth more than what this man is proclaiming, our enemies are in our faces because they serve Satan and we serve YAH
@Lord_Volkner absolutely. Just last week I clocked 7.5 hours in front of a computer screen trying set up all kinds of BS from the department of transportation. In addition to time lost I spent approximately $1,500 on "compliance". No telling what I spend over a year.
Compliance is a tax on productivity.
Abolish all federal agencies not mentioned in our Constitution! We can live without them as we did before! A spinoff would be real tax relief!!!

He makes the company narrative sound neat & clean. He's full of controlled narrative and we're not buying what he's selling.

Not that it matters, but as a sign of the times, I feel, as I laugh about it, that in this new bizarre world it is supposed to be wrong for you to assume that my pronouns are hie/his, but I assure you that I am a she/her (not even sure that is they way we are supposed to think now) still I am a woman and I knew what that meant by the time I was at least 3 years old. Seems to me that without a law degree, I am more qualified for a position on the Supreme Court than Katanya Jackson is. Don't ya think. I just had to say this. Sir or Ma'am is fine with me. My ego isn't fragile and I don't need to control people. I have self-esteem, and hope you do too.@@InstructorCR
Rank and file conservatives today know that the CIA is not conservative. Their job is to assassinate third world conservatives and blame Russia. Bukele fought the CIA and won. He made El Salvador safe. He fought illegal immigration in a way that does not make Adeola Fayehun cringe. Today, they are spying on Tshisekedi, who is making the Congo safe. The CIA supports Katumbi, just like they supported Tshombe.
I am absolutely terrified of the future of America!!

Hilarious
5 minutes in and cant take this seriously already.
Get help.
Agreed. I turned it off right about the 5 minute mark. There's only so much BS I'm willing to put up with.
I still have great respect for Hillsdale despite this poor choice.
Once I heard that children have been compromised by the CIA to get information, no rebranding helps. And there are serious questions raised about CIA involvement in the Kennedy assasinations. So this is a lot of reframing involving many questionable events in an investigative organization that supercedes administrations.
The ends does not justify the means.....sadly this doesn't appear to be their motto
Fallen country. Many reasons, this is one.
My aunt and uncle are both retired CIA. He is also vietnam era prior marine, before CIA. I'm astonished at how woke they are. They are doubling down on all the woke policy and extreme left leaning agendas...in their 70s!! I just dont understand it.
When people age, they get scared, particularly of change. I'm guessing they were true blue their whole lives and don't realize that the party has changed. So it's more comfortable for them to stick to their ways.
I'm in the same boat as you.
@GB-sh9st that could be the case for many, but I'm 68 and always had respect for FBI, CIA and other 3 letter agencies, until C-19......all that changed.
The post-WWII neoliberal world order is breaking down. That "order" is not only a physical thing comprised of policies, infrastructure, etc. Its also conceptualized in a person's head. They (millions of people) partly identify themselves by it or they use it to orient their understandings of the world. When that conceptualization breaks down, what was once understood, becomes unknown and frightening.
Wokeness is nothing more than a vector for elites to reaffirm a paradigm in an attempt to keep the failing paradigm in power. Its a method to launder money, fund politicians, and fund programs to keep their people, organizations, institutions, NGOs, and businesses in a dominant position. Wokeness is nothing more than life-support for the liberal establishment elites. Unfortunately its a poison pill they are forcing on the rest of society and its subsuming Liberalism.
I have a very hard time buying that CIA and Bush didn’t know 9/11 was coming. A very hard time.
It's certain that elements within our government were involved in the planning and execution of 9/11. The Bush administration was clearly 'in the know'.
I read a book some years back that made a compelling argument that 9/11 was a join mission carried out by the CIA and ISIS (Israeli Secret Intelligence Service) with assistance from the DoD.
Oh man, do 15 minutes of research bro, they knew everything
Bush lied it was controlled demo, to hide records of lost tax dollars and to drum support to illegally invade the Middle East for bogus WMD's that didnt exist
So did the people setting up the demolition.
They thought it up..
For me, people who claim that the USA Rebublic is "our democracy" begs this question -- Can we have some of "your democracy" or is it just for the elite, maybe?
No one in their right mind should ever want a democracy as their form of government. Democracy with a capital "D" is purely mob rule. That's why our democracy is limited to voting for our representatives and leaders who are constrained by the constitution to protect the minority from forming a mob to force them into submission.
What we have as a constitutional republic with a limited democracy may not e a perfect form of government but, I have yet to see or learn of any other that even remotely appears equal ley alone better. So, until Christ who is incorruptible and more than qualified to rule comes I am satisfied with living under the constitutional republic the founders gave us. And, I expect every person so blessed as to be subject to the rule of law held within our constitution to be willing to give everything they have (including their lives) 🎉to respect it, cherish it and defend it as much as I do or leave if you simply can't abide by it's principles and the demands of citizenship!
I was merely focusing on the irony of the present folk who call it "our democracy." One might even call it a mockery of "their" smug attitudes, IMO.
I understand your point of view and I largely agree. @@trishaholmeide2192
@@trishaholmeide2192Your thoughts on this have been corrupted:
"Among those who have earned special praise by devising a constitution of
this nature, was Lycurgus, who so framed the laws of Sparta as to assign
their proper functions to kings, nobles, and commons; and in this way
established a government, which, to his great glory and to the peace and
tranquility of his country, lasted for more than eight hundred years.
The contrary, however, happened in the case of Solon; who by the turn he
gave to the institutions of Athens, created there a purely democratic
government, of such brief duration, that I himself lived to witness the
beginning of the despotism of Pisistratus. And although, forty years
later, the heirs of Pisistratus were driven out, and Athens recovered her freedom, nevertheless because she reverted to the same form
government as had been established by Solon, she could maintain it for
only a hundred years more; for though to preserve it, many ordinances
were passed for repressing the ambition of the great and the turbulence
of the people, against which Solon had not provided, still, since
neither the monarchic nor the aristocratic element was given a place in
her constitution, Athens, as compared with Sparta, had but a short life."

We need honest people at all levels. Stop this covering up of incompetence in all the ranks. If issued and order that even seems like unconstitutional you refuse to act on that order. The military seem to be the only people to know and operate under the oath they take. Excuses are like a holes everyone has one, they all stink. The military I have referred to is the old military. Not our present military that is blind to the UCMJ and code of conduct.
You think military personnel will uphold their oath? Look around you, and then think again.
Collaborators, all of them.

Agree 100%. I also read his piece in Imprimis
The offices of the CIA and FBI end midnight, January 2024, on the date of the inauguration of Donald John Trump as President of the United States. Announcements regarding entities and personnel to follow those agencies will be forthcoming.

As soon as he followed the September 11 narrative, I would have stood up and left the room. Loudly.
True, because they did that as well.
That's the dumbest comment I've ever heard... CIA involvement has been totally debunked. Do your homework.
The title is more than a bit misleading. The guy talked about the current problems within the CIA, at least as he sees them. What about the Rise and Fall? To begin with, the CIA was not created in response to Pearl Harbor. Harry Truman created it because he realized he needed a spy agency to rival the Soviets, who were always better at that sort of thing than the Americans, dating back to the days of the Czar. Truman didn't like secret police and he didn't want, in his words, "An American gestapo" so he disbanded the OSS. He wanted something sleeker, more professional, an agency that would report to the president, not some commanding military officer. His intent was for the outfit to be an intelligence gathering agency, but he figured out pretty quickly during the Korean War that you had to have human intelligence, not signal intelligence if you wanted to get things right.
So he hired Bedell Smith, Ike's former military assistant to run the thing because of the Allies success with covert ops in WWII. The problem was they ended up with an eclectic group of cowboy-types, outlaws, soldiers of fortune, and former special forces guys from WWII who were bored. They gave em a bunch of money and all they got for the most part was a lot of dead Korean's they dropped behind enemy lines. Then, when Ike became president, he hired Allen Dulles, the mediocre brother of his secretary of state to run the thing and he was a covert action guy, not an intel guy. That's how they rose. The Church Committee neutered them to protect the Kennedy's and their shenanigans in Cuba and other places and from that time forward they were handcuffed and driven to mediocrity. But their track record never was that hot to begin with. Guatemala and Iran were pushovers. Cuba and Vietnam proved to be much more formidable.
As for 9/11, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was the mastermind of that, not Bin Laden. Bin Laden provided the cash and helped recruit the evil crazies to carry it out but it was the brainchild of Khalid and his sick twisted nephew Ramsey Yusef. For 20 years Mohamed has been fed, clothed, and housed by the U.S. taxpayer. Timothy McVeigh went on trial in 1997 and was executed in 2001. Why is this POS who killed close to twenty times as many people still vertical? And what about Khobar Towers? People always seem to fail to mention that bombing which was clearly an Al Qaeda operation. Are we still worried about offending "Saudi sensibilities?"
The fix always was, and always has been right there for anybody interested to see it. The Constitution! Federal police shouldn't now, nor should they have ever existed. Period.
And those "rank and file" agents everybody wants to defend will always, ALWAYS, defend the CIA agent next to them before protecting you, no matter the circumstances.
Spoken like a true CIA veteran, didn't believe a word that came out of his mouth
He lost me when he said, "We need the CIA." Turned off the video at that point.

@@payamism without getting into it too much i'll give you a thought exercise. how many cia personnel do you think are working on issues pertaining to china? two dozen? 100? 500? 5000? more? also consider this - china's ministry of state security has well over 100,000, probably over double that figure. now consider the fact that the united states is ostensibly a democratic republic. how can cia possibly have the amount of control it has in (and over) america unless it grows its own population to "city-like" size/demographics. i'm sorry but i won't be citing sources or speaking from personal experience or anything like that.
Have not much of his claims been debunked?There is evidence that 911 was contrived here in the US,And covid was created in the US at a university here and hand carried out of the country.This is doublespeak
He forgot to mention that the US paid for that research and were overseeing it. We have pictures of past presidents in that very lab.
Yea, some details he left out.
Everything this dude has said for the first 7 minutes has been government lies and we're listening to him for the "fix"?
I wonder if YT cut the video short. I’ve never experienced that in any Hillsdale speeches. Very strange.
All organisms want to grow, and the federal government has done so with so much "make work" that it is now hopelessly top-heavy. No one wants to give up the cozy job with life-long benefits and no production (except paperwork) required. The colleges/universities are training people to judge others rather than to become competent humans.
I'm sure how this turns out 😟
Surprise was known. DC already intercepted IJN cables. The Office let it happen.
The CIA has failed every mission they were involved in, or maybe they have different plans than we understand, and succeeded at every mission in the way that they intended?

You know, when I hear a so-called expert use incorrect basic English, I ordinarily turn him off. E.g., There is NO such word as "Re-occurance." Anybody who uses that fake word usually doesn't know what he's talking about. It also means he's not very educated, and I would assume this is typical for the incompetent run-of-the-mill CIA person. (The real word is Recurrence.)
He should be criticized for his analysis (He completely ignores the conflict of interests in our own government that funded Osama Bin Laden and the Wuhan lab) , not for his English!
"Recurring and reoccurring can both be used as a verb and an adjective meaning “happening again.” Typically, recurring is used to indicate that something regularly happens-it happens again and again. In contrast, reoccurring is typically used to indicate that something is happening for a second time, but it doesn’t usually imply that it happens often or repeatedly."
Reoccurrence is a word 😂
