This is not a research post. It's an 'opinion piece'.

I'm noticing a few posts that rag on Pompeo, with an assortment of anons (most who I do not recognize, but some who I do) jumping on the bandwagon and ragging on Pompeo, with all sorts of what seems to me to be narrative deployments against Pompeo that have an ambiguous or dodgy basis in actual fact.

In other words, (it seems to me, even though I might be wrong, of course) these are lots of conclusions drawn from narratives and headlines, without any serious research into the specific matters.

It appears to me that the DS intel apparatus (via media, etc) has made a very concerted attempt to smear Pompeo and destroy his reputation with MAGA, much in the same way that people like Michael Flynn have been attacked by obvious disinfo operatives and fake maga.

Pompeo's vulnerability to such is perhaps greater than Flynn's, because he actually served Donald J. Trump in his administration for four years, in some very key areas. So there is a lot of fodder for the DS propaganda and intel machine to spin narratives around him and seed these to MAGA and those either in or adjacent to the Great Awakening.

Given the right push, some of these narratives take on a life of their own.

Somehow, even though the breakthrough Abraham Accords were accomplished through and with Pompeo by Trump (incl. Kushner), Pompeo is a warmonger.

Somehow, even though DS anti-Trump Marxist journalists created the story (based on anonymous sources) that Pompeo orchestrated a plot to kidnap or even murder Assange, the story is seen as true.

Somehow, even though Trump saw fit to work with and rely on Pompeo for the entire four years of his administration, Pompeo is evil.

He also said things that hurt people's feelings in the same way that Trump hurt leftist's feelings. e.g. "If Trump is guilty of improperly holding classified documents, then he should be charged". (Bastard, right?)

It makes sense for different people to have different opinions re: Pompeo. But we are in the midst of a 5G war. Narrative war. Psychological war. There are serious forces attempting to manipulate us. Both sides do this, even if it is for completely different reasons.

It might be my own personal bias, but in these posts, I see people not thinking with critical reasoning, people reacting from charged emotions based on narratives that have been sown out there, which trigger reactive emotional responses that make the task of sorting fact from fiction harder than it should be. Or could be.

These frens hate and despise Pompeo, but do they ever ask "Have I been manipulated to hate Pompeo"? Some people think that they trust Donald Trump, but somehow, when it comes to Pompeo, Trump must be an idiot. Or ignorant.

One thing worth thinking about. If DJT 'caught them all' and still put Pompeo in to the CIA, well, that's like putting someone into the most dangerous, most cesspoolish environment possible. The C_A don't f*ck around. They are far worse than the Mafia. As an organization, the evil elements in the C_A kill people and are responsible for what are probably the very worst crimes perpetrated by USA actors over the past century.

To survive in that environment, you'd have to be as hard as nails. Harder. much, much harder. So regardless of what people think of Pompeo, they shoudl recognize that good or bad, he's NOT going to be just some run-of-the-mill schmuck dude. He's not going to behave like a politician, and he's not going to behave like an influencer. I think that's worth thinking about or examining whenever examining what Pompeo has said.

Note: I do not mean to be disparaging of other frogs who have different opinion re: Pompeo. I am simply attempting to make a case for why I think their conclusions or beliefs are different to mine. But its also true that sometimes those different opinions are based on facts or information I do not know.

Anyway, we'll see if Pompeo is brought in to DJT administration #2. If he is, then some people (frogs), I think, are going to have to confront some serious cognitive dissonance.

I mean, cognitive dissonance isn't something that only afflicts the leftists or those with TDS. It happens whenever someone has been manipulated (without their awareness, by actors or events, or by ones own self) into believing something that simply isn't based in reality or truth, and when they are then confronted with the reality or truth that contradicts a deeply held but erroneous belief.

If you are human, then you are potentially subject to that. We all are.

I have my own view and opinion about Pompeo. I think that DJT trusts him, that DJT trusted him enough to put him in some very difficult positions, including to lay the groundwork for the neutralization of the CIA to the extent necessary for the first phase of the Trump Plan (i.e. 3 stage plan). I also think that there has been a set of concerted efforts to undermine Pompeo in the minds of Trump supporters. I also think that like a number of collaborators with Trump, Pompeo engaged is some form of kayfebe or role play during the second phase of the Trump Plan (aka the "joe Biden" administration period of 4 years).

That view is significantly influenced (informed?) by how I understand the Q operation and also by Trump's actions, but I also try to inform those views with facts, via research, digging, and reflective analysis. I might be wrong in my conclusions, but I try to include data and research to backup my opinions or views, and to inform them as much as feels necessary.

Normally, in this sort of situation, I would write a research post enumerating the various claims against Pompeo, posting what facts and information I could dig on them, to offer some airing of the narratives and how well they gel with facts, and them discuss my (or possible) interpretations based on that data and factual information.

I might do that in coming days. I'm hesitant, because when I write such posts, many hours of research and digging and writing go in to them, and that takes a lot of energy. Anyway, for now, I'll just share my opinion piece.

Perhaps it will provide an opportunity for some interesting discussion!

Note: I made a start on one such post, that deals with the origins of the "Pompeo tried to kidnap and assassinate Assange" narrative here. I still think its worth reading as a starting point to getting to some of the facts around this particular anti-Pompeo narrative.

Now, let the flamming and the downvoting begin!

God bless America.
