All right, since this is a police accountability channel and we expose the corruption and fraud coming out of law enforcement agencies including federal agencies like the ATF, FBI, DEA, and CIA, we definitely got to talk about this latest story about this CIA senior official being caught with 40 million dollars worth of gold. We're going to talk about how much that is physically in a second and the fact that extreme media which is basically the propaganda arm for the military industrial complex, why has this story been leaked out? Why are they so hot to trot about pointing this guy out and getting an FBI raid on his house and making it so public? They could have done this under the covers, nobody would ever know about it. If they wanted to actually get this guy for stealing 40 million dollars worth of gold, 30 luxury watches, 2 million dollars worth of cash, they could have done it very, very secretly. This whole thing makes the CIA look bad and it makes it look like there's such ongoing corruption and widespread fraud that the vetting process for employees is more stringent at your local Walmart than it is for the Central Intelligence Agency. We're going to look at a couple snippets right here from CNN and we're also going to wait through a little bit from ABC and CBS, but check this out and tell me if you don't think that there's something very, very strange right here. >> The New York Times is reporting on what is just a stunning arrest of a CIA official after investigators found hundreds of gold bars worth more than 40 million dollars stashed in his Virginia home. >> And he's not just a CIA official, he is a senior official. And how he got his job was through intrigue. He actually lied on his application. Almost nothing that he put on his application was true which maybe, I don't know, he'd be a perfect candidate for the CIA. Because remember former CIA director Mike Pompeo saying, "I was a director of the CIA. We lied, we cheated, we stole, we had a whole training manuals." >> [laughter] >> That's what the CIA does. They engage in deception, they engage in fraud, they have black book operations funded in off-the-book fashions. There's a whole lot of secretive stuff that we will never ever learn about because it's behind a confidential classified status. >> The CIA and FBI say the arrest occurred last week after the agency alerted the FBI about potential violations of the law. And according to court documents, the official, who is identified as David Rush, asked for and received a significant quantity of foreign currency and tens of millions of dollars in gold bars for work-related expenses in recent months. When agents searched Rush's home, they found approximately 303 gold bars, each of which weighed a kilogram, approximately 2 lb. And investigators also seized $2 million in American currency and nearly three dozen luxury watches, many of them Rolexes. >> Think about this. Over 600 lb of gold. The average weighs 250 lb. So you're talking about two and a half refrigerators in weight worth of gold in this one guy's house. And the CIA just gave it to him for work-related purposes, they say. And that's just one guy. >> I'll note that a lawyer for Mr. Rush declined to comment to the Times, and a woman answering the phone at Mr. Rush's house hung up on a Times reporter. Former Deputy Director of National Intelligence Beth Sanner is back with me. So many questions here. >> Oh, a Director of National intelligence. She's trained to lie as well. >> So, we have fake stream CIA infiltrated Operation Mockingbird MK Ultra media in this case the counterfeit news network lying to us. We have government agents lying to us, leaking to the New York compost pile and the New York Slimes lying to us. Now, we have intelligence agency spooks lying to us. We're really going to get to the bottom of this, Schmitty. In this ABC News report right here, she actually interviews a current CIA agent who talks about those black book operations. >> And bring in ABC News contributor and [music] former senior CIA field operative Darrell Blocker. Darrell, investigators say the $40 million in gold and other money in his possession, including stuff still missing by the way, was requested for work purposes. So, let me ask you, under what circumstances, first of all, does someone in the CIA need millions of dollars in gold bars? >> Including two and a half refrigerators worth of gold. >> Good morning, Kira. Well, there's there's the the agency has always used what we call alternative funding sources, whether it's crypto in today's world or back during World War II, um basically bulk cash. So, finding out >> Backdoor deals, secret black ops, black operations funded by off-the-book resources that the normies will never know about. >> that someone was using gold bars to actually make payments, which obfuscates the CIA's role in it, is not is not the disturbing part. The disturbing part is that he was able to get away with it for at least two years. >> And apparently he >> This is an accumulation of 303 gold bars, $2 million in cash, 35 luxury watches. That's just what they told us in only two years? The heck? >> Fudged his resume to get a job at the CIA. How do you do that at the CIA? >> Well, 17 years after the fact, no one is looking into his GPA or his credentials, and they just accepted it as fact. That's a That's a glitch in the in the in processing in processing process. Absolutely. >> I I would say that that is not a glitch. I would say that is a feature. This is exactly the guy that they wanted. They knew what he was involved in. They knew he was capable of lying, and they probably had something on him. That's why they were able to use him for 17 years for to do whatever they wanted him to do. If there were higher-echelon CIA officials who entrusted this guy with 303 bars of gold and $2 million worth of cash in 2 years, can you imagine what this guy has been doing for the past 17 years? The kind of blackmail they had on him to do the dirty deeds that the CIA needs done? How many people has he murdered? How many CIA crimes has he committed? How many illicit drugs How many pounds of illicit drugs did he oversee the transportation of? And on and on. >> And he's not the only person lying about their past, but that's not the significant part. This guy is uh was able to use our system against us, but also the system was able to find him through our counterintelligence measures. >> Wait, one guy was able to use the CIA against the CIA? None of this is making any sense. >> Does this mean the CIA just has pallets of gold bars, you know, laying around? I mean, you and I have talked about other like in Iraq, I remember stashes of cash. You did a little, you know, undercover operation, you paid for help here and there, but gold bars? >> Uh gold bars uh are really gold bars, diamonds, uh anything that can't be specifically tied to an individual, a bank, a an account number, are things that that we would use. It's It's It's It's not unfounded. >> I can understand transacting in gold coins, something you can carry in your pocket or briefcase, but bulk gold bars? What kind of deals was this guy involved in? What kind of paperwork had to be signed to check that kind of stuff out of a CIA vault? Why does the CIA have command of so much physical gold? How much is there actually there? Is there any tie to Donald Trump just recently saying, "You know, what? We need to go in there. I need to pay a special visit to the Fort Knox to see how much gold is actually in there. We need to audit that." Back to this intelligence official at CNN. >> Uh so many gold bars, but what kind of circumstances does the CIA hand out hundreds of gold bars to an officer for? >> Well, I can't say it ever happened to me, having been an analyst. >> You don't have any gold bars? >> I don't, and I never Yeah, but, you know, when you're in the operations side and you're operating in denied areas, >> Sounds like she was stopping herself from saying what she wanted to say. How many gold bars do you have in your basement? >> So, one that's very public in lots of people's cleared memoirs is going into Afghanistan at the beginning of going after Osama bin Laden. And CIA officers went in >> Come on, Beth. You mean CIA asset Tim Osman? >> Um with millions and millions of dollars on their person. Um and so, you know, this is something that you do when you're working in denied areas. You know, you can look around the world. You might have said, maybe Venezuela at that point in time, maybe Yemen, maybe Nigeria, places in the Middle East, maybe still Afghanistan. We don't know. But, there are legitimate reasons for a case officer to have these items. You might want to give a gold watch out to an asset to either recruit them or to reward them. Um you need cash. >> Maybe not three. What is the checkout process? How do you audit that? Who inventories all these items and where are these items stashed so they can be inventoried? Do you keep track of who has them? Does the CIA give away $300,000 Rolex watches with no strings attached? Does an asset actually get that watch and wear that watch for a time, but then they're tracked by the CIA and then offed somewhere and dumped in a river and the watch is repossessed and stuck back in inventory for the next asset who might come along? >> Maybe, but maybe not three. You know, you got a lot of assets. >> Yeah, that's right. >> So, there's so much here, the web, right? He's accused of lying about his qualifications as well. Over the years, the time says that he inflated his academic credentials and falsely claimed to be a member of the Navy Reserve when he was discharged and then collected pay for that. Um >> And the CIA can't check and vet that? You have got to be freaking kidding. They do a more stringent process at Burger King if you want to drop the fries in grease. How much more to be a covert operative representing the interests in the national security of the United States? >> How how does the CIA of all organizations miss that? >> Okay, so when I looked through the affidavit, um two things came to mind. One is that the guy is a pathological liar and I'm not a psychologist, so I don't know if that's true. >> Seems like that would be a prerequisite if you wanted to be a successful CIA agent, so we don't really want to be too harsh with him about that characteristic. >> So, I'm trying not to slander anybody, but that's how I would read it. Um you know, and >> Beth is probably sitting there pathologically lying >> different than normal than norm than most of the population. >> Yeah, I mean the definition of how they'd represent themselves >> and get away with it. >> pathological liar someone who who lies and, you know, makes these kind of knowing lies, things that can be found out, but has so much confidence and truly believes what they're telling you. And so therefore you can pass a polygraph if you're a pathological liar because you truly believe what you're saying is correct. >> Because physiological >> That fits with every psychopathic parasitic puppet in Washington's district of criminals and all law enforcement agents. They actually believe their own BS that they have authority over you and I. >> logically they're not giving off the things that a polygraph would pick up. >> sweating when you're lying. >> Because how I mean >> breathing heavily. You believe it. >> Would you Would he have been polygraphed when he started? >> I mean >> Yeah, you think he would have passed multiple or what? >> He was in for 17 years. So, yeah, I'm >> Wait a second. So, you're telling me that the CIA knows that psychopathic liars can pass polygraph tests. So, what does the CIA do in order to vet somebody to become a CIA agent? They give them a polygraph test. And the people who are more apt to pass it with flying colors are with this CIA operative admits would be pathological liars. >> I mean he he he passed, you know, three, four, five, I don't know, depends on what his job was or whatever. So, clearly he lied, but the other part of this is there was some systemic failure here. Um, they should have caught >> or systemic success. Maybe they intentionally hired him knowing he was a pathological liar. And he was such a good pathological liar and they had so much dirt on him that he would have done whatever they asked him to do, no questions. >> His, allegedly, please. >> Yep. >> They should have caught that claim that he went to Clemson, that he went to Rensselaer, that he was claiming a different rank in the Navy. And I suspect what happened here, and I do not know, but I suspect what happened here is he was retiring and they were starting to go through the paperwork to count his number of years of service and all of a sudden things started not falling into place. >> Because looking at it as a total thing. You think on the front end >> Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. That doesn't make any He was about to retire, so they at retirement they decided, "You know what? Let's take a really good look at this guy." When the really good look they should have been taking was before he got hired. But now he's he's approaching retirement. He's about to collect his pension. Let's take a good look at who we've been employing for the last 17 years. That makes a lot of sense. And this lady's from an intelligence agency. >> too though. It should You should notice it on the front end. >> a potential systemic problem. >> Okay, yeah. So talk about that because if this is indicative of some sloppy work, they're really going to be questioning and certainly there's going to be a lot of scrutiny from Congress uh about how they're doing things. >> Yes, and things have changed a lot since when he joined in 2009. A lot. Um the process has changed. We now have I know we, but CIA and the intelligence community uses all sorts of uh you know, AI and computer searches and all of these things. Like I can't say that what happened here 17 years ago would be anywhere close to how it is done today. There've been significant changes in the hiring process to make it more efficient, to to rely more on internet searches and as well as investigations. >> Let's just just pause it for a second. Let's just think about this. This David Rush guy was not just a CIA official, a CIA agent. He was a top senior CIA official. He'd been with them since what? 2009? And he's got away with how much? And how many people are actually employed with the CIA? 21, 22,000? If this is just one guy with a $40 million stolen gold problem with $2 million worth of cash and 30-35 high-end Rolex watches, what percentage of the other CIA agents are getting away with this waste, fraud, and abuse? >> So, that's that. But, I also will say, knowing CIA and having enormous respect for the professionals who still are there, absolutely, um they're going to take this seriously. They're going to be more upset than anyone that this happened, and they are going to do their own investigations, and I guarantee they will look and they will fix. But, of course, Congress will be asking a lot of >> Don't worry, the CIA will investigate itself, and if there's any other bad stuff, we'll let you know. The question is, why are they letting us know now? Why did the CIA get with mainstream media to highly publicize this incident right here with this gold thief? What the hell is actually going on? What level of abuse of executive power and authority is this? Leave your thoughts in the comment section below. If you like these commentary videos, maybe you'll like some of my others.
