Related Quotation

PageQuoteAuthor
Deep state recruitment network<nowiki>“In 1968, while at Oxford, ambitious, young Bill Clinton [[[Rhodes Scholar 1968]]] was recruited as a CIA asset by CIA London station chief Cord Meyer. Cord Meyer was a very significant figure in the Coup of ’63 when he ran the media cover-up, propaganda side of the coup. The Cabal was always looking to groom a next generation of members, and from the point of view of the CIA/Cabal, Clinton must have made an ideal target. He was smart, charismatic, ambitious, and he couldn’t keep his dick in his pants. That combination of traits made him very controllable.”</nowiki>Mark Gorton
