Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, June 06, 2026

The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) is increasingly concerned about Israel ramping up its spying on the US, recently raising the counterintelligence threat level from America's so-called ally in the Middle East to the highest level. DIA's civilian counterpart CIA, has always considered Israeli intelligence to be their top counterintelligence threat in the Middle East, as in the case of infamous American traitor Jonathan Pollard.

"The CIA considers Israel its No. 1 counterintelligence threat in the agency's Near East Division, the group that oversees spying across the Middle East. Counterintelligence is the art of protecting national secrets from spies. This means the CIA believes that US national secrets are safer from other Middle Eastern governments than from Israel."

~snip~

USIC personnel don't take any foreign espionage activity personal as this is "business" and we do the same to other countries. For decades, Russia and our so-called "ally" Israel have always posed the number one intelligence threats to US national and economic security, joined later by China which was once considered a localized menace in PACOM AOR. But members of the USIC do take betrayal and treason personally, like in the cases of CIA analyst Aldrich Ames, FBI Special Agent Robert Hanssen, or ONI analyst Jonathan Pollard.

Jonathan Pollard sold US national secrets to Israel, causing exceptionally grave and irreparable damage to US national security. He was been described as the "scum of the earth" by a retired US NCIS Senior Special Agent.

So disappointing

This is a strategic decision (aka corrupt), not one coming from morality.

Who, at this point, should we consider?

Any non-AIPAC candidate for POTUS in 2028 would be so refreshing.

AOC has the most name recognition and social followers.

Bernie might be considered too, but he's a bit old now. The AIPAC Dems skewered him in 2016 which was his best chance.

Former D/NCTC Joe Kent (R) resigned his position because of nefarious Israeli influence in the USG and USIC (which I personally witnessed myself) and this stupid war on Iran.

Joe Kent suggested a fusion ticket approach to the POTUS election: a non-AIPAC Republican and a non-AIPAC Democrat.

Otherwise, America is stuck with an average 65% of eligible voters turning out because so many of us are tired of AIPAC candidates, R and D, and Israel's ethnic cleansing of the poor Palestinian people, all with our taxpayer dollars.

#5 Why is it that C0RI0LANUS posts this picture...

Why, 'tis almost like he really, really wants to see Paxton win in Texas in 2026...just like Shrimpy. These are their candidates:

Not sure why he hates the Democratic Party, the only viable alternative to Trumpf and MAGA and the GOP

What's C0RI0LANUS's motivation?

His behavior mirrors the now-corporate media attacks on our fantastic Democratic candidate for US Senate in Maine.

Almost like they - and C0RI0LANUS - want to cripple the Democratic Party before the elections as much as possible.

Or is there an alternative explanation for his constant damning of the Democratic Party and Democratic Candidates?

Is that you, Hans? I remember you from way back. Someone told me you died. Where's that Dethspud fellow? Does he still come here?

"Any non-AIPAC candidate for POTUS in 2028 would be so refreshing."

Yeah?!?!

Unicorns and lollipops and clouds made of cotton candy might be so refreshing, too.

But intelligent people deal with the cards in their hand, not some imaginary nirvana.

"AOC has the most name recognition and social followers."

AOC is a phenomenal person, a gifted politician, and clearly the voice and face of the future of the Democratic Party.

That said, however, and with a clear vision to what happened to the Democratic Party nominees in 2016 and 2024 ...

... AOC at the top of the Democratic Party ticket in 2028 would make the Republican blowouts in 1972 and 1984 seem like nail-biters in comparison. 'Tis a Republican political hack's wet dream.

Want to see AOC ascend to the top?

Then do all the hard and difficult work of bringing in new voters, educating them, imbue them with a sense of community, working towards electing Democrats.

But damning candidates running in the only viable alternative to the Republican Party in America in 2026 and 2028 - for not being pure - is political suicide.

Never fear the next generation; at one time we were all the next generation

#7 Good to see you, ExpectingReign.

But I should warn you, my long-time friend, I have been outed as a long-time Israeli PsyOp agent!

Why, it was even confirmed by The American Conservative!

What can I say, ExpectingReign?

#7 On January 26th of this year, I posted a ** HAPPY BIRTHDAY DETHSPUD ** thread, which received many, many good comments.

"Be well," was a common comment.

But, alas, I do not believe that Dethspud hangs around here anymore.

He was good people, ExpectingReign.

So, to confirm, you are Hans? Why did you change your name?

No. While it may concern many voters, this is not driving the lack of turnout like you believe. People are far more disgusted with the lack of stomach or even interest in solving long standing domestic issues that directly affect them.
