- FrankWilhoit 2y agoSpies don't "sound alarms". They prevent problems, by methods including murder. No alarms are sounded before, during, or after.
- more_corn 2y agoSpies here is used to describe employees of the intelligence agencies. Which are primarily analysts and managers. Intelligence is largely gathered by electronic means. Your view of what intelligence agencies do is largely influenced by fiction which tells exciting but false tales.
- ganoushoreilly 2y agoI haven't read the full article, but I'll say it is pretty rich when the same individuals tasked with Election protection.. are the individuals running or that have run operations to do the exact things in other countries. Not that i'm faulting the later, as it's part of their jobs and mandates, but don't look at me like i'm crazy when I don't buy the same things here. Once you've seen how the sausage is made, you have second thoughts about the ingredients. I think the American population has seen enough the past few years where people aren't blindly trusting anything. I don't see this as bad, but the powers that be want to beat the drums of influence hard. There are plenty of people that will poke at us over elections specifically but it's not new. There were foreign intel players in the BLM riot propaganda, there's current influence with Israel / Palestine. The only real fix is to get people to understand that you can't blindly trust things and you need multiple points of evidence. That's also assuming you can get people off blindly following their political parties to no fault.
