I noticed in a meme that they were making a claim that the CIA had turned over some type of nuclear technology to Israel without the knowledge of the US government. I didn’t read it. I assumed it was slanted. But the concern was that Israel was guilty of some terrible deed, because they took technology that was offered by the Americans. It was also implied that the Israelis knew this was illegal technology.
OK. That’s what they did, maybe. What is the bigger crime here is that the CIA went over the heads of the president and Congress and did something that was for bidden by law. They knew they were breaking the law. They deliberately broke the law. Overlooking whether it was necessary or good for world, peace, or any other contingency, they broke the law.
But it is Israel that seems to be condemned for accepting the offering.
Fast forward to the DOGE activities. Musk and his crew have uncovered repeated cases of people taking money that they knew they didn’t deserve. In this case the media seems to imply that it is Musk’s problem for uncovering this and that the people who took money they knew they didn’t deserve we’re just doing what anyone would do.
Does anybody but me see the hypocrisy here?
