ANALYSIS – Can we say dangerous left-wing intelligence hack?
With Joe Biden and the Democrats demonizing conservatives, partisan, out-of-work former intelligence officers, without much of a ‘war on terror' to fight anymore, and looking for new work, are now targeting Americans as their new terrorist bogeyman.
And following the bizarre ‘underwear hammer attack' on Nancy Pelosi's husband in San Francisco, the Democrats are on a tear blaming Republicans for violence. (RELATED: San Fransisco Police Provide Update on Paul Pelosi Attack)
This despite the fact that the Pelosi attacker was a crazy, life-long pot-smoking hippie, left-wing nudist and illegal alien from Canada who only started making ‘right-wing' social media posts a few weeks ago.
But once you designate your domestic political opponents as ‘extremists' and ‘enemies of democracy,' you open the door to widespread abuse and repression by the state.
And targeting American citizens as if they were ISIS is the result.
As I noted earlier, we should expect to see a host of these former ‘counter-extremism' hacks try to parlay their experiences against al-Qaeda to use against their fellow citizens.
This is the old Cold War ‘Red Scare' in reverse.
And this is just the latest example. A partisan former CIA officer proposing we illegally use ‘counterterror' measures against Americans.
As Fox News reports:
Former Senior Intelligence Service officer at the CIA, Marc Polymeropoulos published a Sunday piece declaring that that techniques once used to fight radical Islam should be turned against the against the right-wing in America.
Polymeropoulos' piece for NBC News Think warned that propagandists, whether Islamic terrorists or Republicans, should be subject to counterterrorism and counterradicalization techniques.
“I worked in counterterrorism operations for nearly my entire career at the CIA before retiring in 2019. The battle we engaged in with international terrorist groups like Al Qaeda wasn't just with their legions of foot soldiers but with their highly effective propaganda arms as well,” he wrote.
“The U.S. and our allies considered those propagandists fundamental cogs in a terror group's machinery, and just as culpable as any other terrorist. So we held them accountable when innocent civilians were killed.”
Polymeropoulos suggested that the attack of Paul Pelosi was evidence that the American government needs to take a firmer approach to its own citizenry.
This type of thinking is outrageous on so many levels. Simply un-American. Unconstitutional. And extremely dangerous.
Polymeropoulos, who sounds more like a left-wing extremist than an intelligence officer, is also either willfully ignorant or outright deceptive when he claims that the American right has some sort of monopoly on violent rhetoric.

He laughably states that there is “nothing equivalent being done on the other side of the aisle” as far as promoting violence against their political opposition. (RELATED: Suspicious Packages Mailed to Kari Lake's Headquarters)
“Democratic politicians and leaders may not like Trump, but they don't call for violence against him, let alone his execution,” he outrageously claimed.
Of course, this is outright false.
As Fox Notes: “He neglected to mention multiple incidents of left-wing calls to arms and violence against Republicans…”
Fox added examples:
In 2017, a far-left former Bernie Sanders campaign volunteer named James T. Hodgkinson fired upon on a group of Republican lawmakers as they practiced for the annual Congressional Baseball Game, critically injuring House Republican Whip Steve Scalise.
Democrats didn't equate their own hyper-aggressive anti-GOP rhetoric with his violent actions.
And let's be clear Democrat politicians do incite violence against their GOP opponents.
Fox continues:
Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., endorsed harassing political opposition in public in 2018. “They're not going to be able to go to a restaurant, they're not going to be able to stop at a gas station, they're not going to be able to shop at a department store,” Waters proclaimed at the time. “The people are going to turn on them, they're going to protest, they're going to absolutely harass them.”
Polymeropoulos also ignores left-wing activists protesting in front of the houses of Supreme Court justices, firebombing crisis pregnancy centers and doxing (posting the addresses of public figures online).
Not to mention the assassination attempt against Justice Brett Kavanaugh by a heavily armed man at his home. (RELATED: Supreme Court Justices Targets of Assassination by Left-Wing Abortion Extremists: Alito)
Recall that in 2020, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., warned Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh that they “will pay the price” for rulings against abortion and “You won't know what hit you.”
Can we say ‘incitement to violence' against justices?
This ex-CIA hack also overlooks a full year of left-wing politically motivated riots in cities, often encouraged and enabled by Democrat politicians and ‘community' leaders.
But facts, consistency and fairness aren't needed when you are a political hack trying to get the all-powerful government to use your now unneeded skills to target your fellow Americans who disagree with you.
All you need is your own extremist leftist rhetoric. ALD

It is amazing how our CIA and FBI have become more like the gestapo these days
Should not surprise anybody considering the Illiterates running our Country!
Whether they be PED0 Joe or Epstein Trump
Really? Epstein Trump? Where in the heck did you come up with that? They weren’t pals like Clinton or any number of Regulars on his “junkets”. There’s always somebody who thinks there is no difference between Republicans and democrats, between that moron Emperor Biden and President Trump. Must be idiots themselves because there really is no comparison between the destruction Biden has produced versus the success Trump had. None, idiots.
Larry’s kind of stupid can’t be fixed.
IRS on its way as well.
I do not trust the FBI, CIA, DOJ, HSO, CDC, or any other agency the Democrats have infiltrated, all starting with the Clinton Administration, accelerated by Obama, now this Mentally Deficient Parasite Biden, and his Band of Terrorists.
Which includes congress.
What they really mean by right-wing is patriotic and not wanting to rely on the nanny state. That is the real why liberals hate war in general. So their government wants patriotism when the nation goes to war and then will shaft the survivors when the duty is over. Good luck.
What a crock of male bovine excrement! Suburban moms are designated as terrorists for daring to disagree with school boards about sexualizing their children. Are those the “right-wing terrorists” this imbecile is talking about? Is he talking about the protestors on Jan6 in Washington, DC, who were angry about a rigged election—the survivors of which are now held in political prisons and facing Kangaroo Kourts after being rounded up by America’s Gestapo? The CIA needs to go after the FBI and other corrupt government officials, and the people who burn our cities and assault and kill our police officers. Better yet, send the SEALs and Delta Force after them and lock them in compounds until they can be tried and dealt with as they deserve.
Ditto!
No foreign terrorist threat? SloJoe just gifted the taliban billions in arms, ammo and vehicles.
Sounds like some ingrate,pushing for that civil war,they can’t win.
Sounds like this little TURD should be run over in the street.
Goes Both ways fool watch out
Leftist terrorists have been active in the US for decades. I’m surprised that this guy gives them a pass, even to the point of denying their violence, and instead blames Republicans for inciting violence despite any lack of evidence that they use such tactics.
I am reminded of 1930s Germany. First, they spent years demonizing people of a certain religion. Then, when that rhetoric reached fever pitch, they used state institutions to persecute, enslave, and slaughter those people.
The politics of scapegoating is extremely dangerous.
Dont forget how they turned neighbor against neighbor and kids against parents.
What crap. Everything the CIA touches burns to the ground. There is a reason why they are prohibited from conducting operation inside the US.
Trump was right. The CIA is left wing political entity
First, I have to say it’s good he’s an ex. Second, if used against anyone it should be Demonrats like him. Conservatives have done nothing against the country unlike his liberal trash like BLM, ANTIFA, and a host of others. Let’s start by mentioning the murders in lib meccas around the country, stupid.
Doesn;t this intel hack paint the right wing with a very broad brush? What exactly constitutes a ‘right-wing terrorist?’ Is a terrorist someone who criticizes CRT in his children’s schools? I think this CIA man must have defected from the Gestapo, the DDR Stasi, or the KGB.
