Brad Johnson retired after 25 years as a CIA Station Chief brings his take of the new CIA recruitment ads. He founded Americans for Intelligence Reform several years ago to fight against the increasing politicization brought into the intelligence community.
Brad Johnson retired as a Senior Operations Officer and Chief of Station with the Central Intelligence Agency’s Directorate of Operations. Having served domestically and abroad, many assignments included areas of armed conflict. He served overseas in direct support of the War Against Terrorism and he took multiple assignments overseas as Chief of Station.
A certified senior expert in counterintelligence, surveillance and surveillance detection, his proven expertise in dangerous operational environments included the highest level of training available in the USG and globally. His tradecraft expertise was put to test in dangerous, difficult, and restrictive operational environments.
Brad is an enrolled member of The Cherokee Nation, a Federally Recognized Tribe.
I have mentioned an Article 5 Convention of hte states before, right now we have roughly one third of the States calling for one, we need tow thirds of them to call for one before Congress will be forced to call one. I don’t know how many of hte purposed amendments will pass and of those that pass our of the convention how many will become ratified by enough states to become part of the Constitution.
Two the the amendments suggested are 1) Term Limits on Congress and 2) a way for two thirds of the States to over rule a Judicial Decision or a new Law.
Its a gamble but we are long past the time when we can take only save actions, if we are to save the Republic we must gamble.
