"Wait, it's all Marxism?" "Always has been."
CIA spies operating within the Kremlin have suddenly "gone to ground" according to the New York Times, citing American officials clearly abusing their security clearances.
The officials do not think their sources have been compromised or killed - rather, they've been spooked into silence amid "more aggressive counterintelligence by Moscow, including efforts to kill spies," according to the Times, pointing to the still-unsolved March poisoning of former Russian double-agent Sergei Skripal in the UK.
Curiously, the Times immediately suggests that the lack of intelligence is "leaving the CIA and other spy agencies in the dark about precisely what Mr. Putin's intentions are for November's midterm elections."

WTF? So how is it they were so clueless in 2016 that they had no clue about what exactly the Russians were up to, if they had people practically sitting in Putin's lap? I'm sure this story is meant to support the Russian meddling narrative, but they must be getting sloppy, because it actually does more to undermine it. These are the very same US spooks who were too busy watching Donald Trump's campaign in 2016 to pay one iota of attention to the Russian hacking that was (apparently) rampant in the months leading up to the election. Maybe their Russian "spies" were playing them for fools by suggesting all the silliness that made it into the "dossier." This is a good indication of why the morons who are running around in clown cars shouting "Russia Russia Russia" are just a bunch of deep state stooges.
