Summary:
1. Mentions, an NYT article citing a 2008 Pentagon plan to "destroy" wikileaks.
2. States his agenda of exposing "corrupt power centers" in America.
3. Proposes wikileaks was a good thing, driving accountability/transparency.
4. Names the “Red Cell Memorandum,” a leaked CIA document discussing how to manipulate the European public support of wars in the middle east.
5. Highlights that this CIA document recommends using Obama's public appeal as a tactic to reduce public dissent about the Afghanistan war in France/Germany.
6. Refers to this as "deep state" (presumably because it's an intelligence agency using a president, rather than vice-versa).
7. Proposes that the CIA hated Trump, because he didn't pretend the US was morally superior.
8. Provides an example of inviting "Abdel Fattah el-Sisi" to the whitehouse, a dictator we had supplied arms to in private but didn't publicly acknowledge.
9. "Few things infuriate U.S. foreign policy elites more than those who, unwittingly or otherwise, show the true face of the U.S. security state to the world."
