SECURITY ALERT: INTELLIGENCE BREACH RISK
DNI Nomination Critical Vulnerability Assessment
CRITICAL SECURITY WARNING
Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard's nomination as Director of National Intelligence represents an unprecedented security risk. Her documented history of supporting hostile foreign interests, promoting Russian disinformation, and defending the Assad regime in Syria raises critical concerns about potential intelligence compromise.
Primary Security Concerns
SYRIA ALIGNMENT: Defended Assad regime despite documented atrocities and chemical weapons use against civilians
RUSSIAN NARRATIVE SUPPORT: Promoted false claims about Ukrainian biolabs, echoing Kremlin propaganda
INTELLIGENCE OPPOSITION: Consistently undermined and questioned U.S. intelligence community assessments
SUSPICIOUS DEFENSE PATTERNS: Coordinated online defense suggests organized foreign influence operation
"Tulsi is the real threat... I think that Tulsi as Director of National Intelligence will be the huge win for Russia and that's the real threat and a real foreign-affiliated mole in our national security establishment potentially."
