{ americanthinker.com } ~ scumbag/commie-John Brennan's security clearance has finally been revoked. Now he is playing the victim card, but per usual, there is more than meets the eye... American Thinker interviewed a number of former CIA directors while scumbag/liar-nObama was president. Although they may have vehemently disagreed with policy, they did it in a civil manner, without the disgusting hyperbolic language and name-calling. scumbag/commie-Brennan should take his own words and reflect upon them. The argument by a former CIA operative: "Traditionally, since 1947, former directors have kept their security clearances with the idea that the seniors could provide advice, counsel, and become red teams for the current director. The benefit comes with the different perspectives as they sit in a room together offering a diversity of opinions about any strategic issues. The only way they could have these conversations is having their clearance maintained. scumbag/commie-Brennan served as President scumbag/liar-nObama's chief counter-terrorism adviser from 2008 until he was confirmed as CIA chief in 2013, holding that position until 2017. Yet, since he did not do a very good job in keeping Americans safe, who would really want to consult with him? Taking a stroll down memory lane, there were numerous terrorist attacks and attempts in the U.S. under his watch....

Last year, a Millennial couple, Jay Austin and Lauren Geoghegan, quit their jobs in Washington, DC, and departed for a year-long biking tour around the world. According The Pluralist, “Austin, a vegan who worked for the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Geoghegan, a vegetarian who worked in the Georgetown University admissions office, decided that they were wasting their lives working.”
Before departing, Austin wrote: “I’ve missed too many sunsets while my back was turned. Too many thunderstorms went unwatched, too many gentle breezes unnoticed.”
Their biking trip ended in tragedy on 29 July in Tajikistan, when five Islamists drove their car into the group of cyclists, then emerged with knives, killing Austin and Geoghegan and two others.
Before the naive couple was murdered by the Islamic State adherents, Austin wrote:
“You watch the news and you read the papers and you’re led to believe that the world is a big, scary place. People, the narrative goes, are not to be trusted. People are bad. People are evil. People are axe murderers and monsters and worse. I don’t buy it. Evil is a make-believe concept we’ve invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans holding values and beliefs and perspectives different than our own…”
Regarding Donald Trump, Austin wrote on his trip blog from a location in the Middle East:
“On the television across the room, Al Jazeera plays softly. Donald Trump has just announced his plans to move an embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and the Muslim world is visibly upset. … As a clip plays of a sullen Trump waddling across the screen, I do my best to disappear into the soft plush of the couch cushion behind me. But American as we may be, no one here seems to mind.”
Unfortunately for Austin, Geoghegan, and their two friends, there will be no more “sunsets … thunderstorms … and gentle breezes.”
