Why are people trusting the US Intelligence Agencies now? What is going on behinds the scenes at major media outlets, social media sites and Intelligence agencies that would prompt them to push the current narratives so hard … Considering how the entire country was lied into war, why should we be trusting US Intelligence now? Sure, you could blame the most recent Iraq War all on the Bush Administration, but it took a team to sell it. There are good and honest people within each organization, but are they being listened to?

These are only a few examples of what a few people within an organization can do to manipulate the narrative. It could be the culture of these bureaucracies that allows this type of behavior, that’s up for debate.
Remember, during the first stages of the Iraq war, if you disagreed with the “official” narrative, you were called unpatriotic and unamerican. My, how the tables have turned.
So why are people jumping on board with trusting the Intelligence Agencies now? Could be brainwashing, could be tribalism (team sports politics). The examples above should give pause to the people on that “Russian Collusion” wave. It’s not to say all the Russian info is incorrect or that Russian didn’t do anything during the US election. It could all be true. But we should all be asking “Why is this intelligence true given these past actions and statements from our Intelligence Agencies?”
Let’s not repeat the bad aspects of history.
