Usually the former CIA guys that get fucked over by the current CIA guys are the good guys.

Good point. I don't have time right now to look up where I originally read this, but last night, I read a comment from Steele in which he said the feds shut down his business, and that he had been "constructively unemployed" since then.

100% likely. A few others have been slapped with the espionage act and thrown in prison. The message here is you make waves and you will have to pay the price.

Friends like these, huh dude?

No honor among thieves!

I found the comment at https://libertyblitzkrieg.com/2012/05/09/cia-whistle-blower-robert-d-steele-reveals-the-truth-about-government/.

Steele wrote: "Thank you. I would however point out that I am a reformer who has never broken the law or violated my CIA secrecy oath. Whistleblowers such as Binney, Drake, and Snowden, all of whom I admire, are in a higher category of their own and have sacrificed a great deal more than I have — although the secret world did destroy my business in 2006, causing me to be unemployed since 1 January 2008. Donations welcome at Phi Beta Iota and Earth Intelligence Network, have no salary, pensions, or savings — but I am not giving up the fight and am CONSTRUCTIVELY unemployed. Appreciate your taking the time to write."
