It showed an unspoken truth about Spanberger and Slotkin that’s been hiding in plain sight—they are part of a group of intelligence officers who, since the primacy of their services was threatened by President Trump’s first term agenda, entered politics with the stated aim of solidifying these services’ control. They have been aided and abetted by the groups their preferred policies serve to entrench: Intelligence operators linked to weapons and security contractors and multinational arms conglomerates who profit off Washington’s security state.</p><p>The end result of Spanberger’s and Slotkin’s rise could be the kind of plot progression once limited to movies. Two future cabinet, vice presidential or presidential nominees would serve at the pleasure of intelligence agencies and their outgrowths, so that politics becomes intelligence, affording covert agencies the type of unquestioned influence and control they’ve always aspired to but never enjoyed. This is a scenario that takes a certain amount of history to fully understand—both root causes and long-term effects. Tellingly, that history begins, and ends, on Abigail Spanberger’s home turf: Not just Virginia, the state she aims to lead, but specifically the suburbs of Northern Virginia, which include the congressional district (the 7th) she made her political name representing.</p><p>Digging into this history shows how the CIA and allied agencies not only shaped the growth of Washington and its surroundings, but how they branched out into the corporate, consulting legal, media, and academic worlds—affording themselves not just wide-ranging policy influence but public cover. It also suggests that, as this status quo came under threat, the CIA has entered politics directly via its veterans, who are operating on behalf of its interests in plain sight—again, with cover from the power centers of Washington.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Hundreds Of Wanted Criminals, Including Illegals, Nabbed In Fed Operation</title> <link>https://www.offthepress.com/hundreds-of-wanted-criminals-including-illegals-nabbed-in-fed-operation/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Ray Hilbrich]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 05 Jul 2025 21:50:18 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Immigration Crack Down]]></category> <category><![CDATA[LEFT COLUMN]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.offthepress.com/hundreds-of-wanted-criminals-including-illegals-nabbed-in-fed-operation/</guid> <description><![CDATA[<img width="150" height="150" src="https://www.offthepress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/reuters-1748570951-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" />They brought the hammer down on the worst of the worst.
