Are You Freaking Blind?

Are you Freaking Blind? 

by Germanico Vaca

I have to demand an answer from my Senators and Congressmen. Do you feel safe or are you scared shitless as I am now? Please if there are agents of the FBI, CIA tell me I’m wrong. The fact is that I feel the chilling dangers of undermining U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies like the FBI, CIA, NSA, and others. Trump’s actions are beyond stupidity—gutting these institutions, labeling them as corrupt, and disregarding their roles in national security—are deeply reckless and could have far-reaching consequences, especially when viewed from a global perspective. Let me explain:

1. The Delusion of Power: Trump's belief that the world is "afraid" of him or "respects" him is dangerously out of touch with reality. In geopolitics, respect comes from strength, diplomacy, and the ability to maintain stability and security—not through brash statements or isolated acts of defiance. Trump’s actions are been perceived as reckless by foreign powers, but they aren’t intimidated. In fact, they may be seeing it as an opportunity to exploit vulnerabilities, and that’s exactly what makes me afraid.
2. Undermining Security: When a leader reduces the capabilities of the very institutions designed to protect national security, it’s a grave mistake. The FBI, CIA, NSA, and similar agencies play critical roles in intelligence gathering, counterintelligence, cybersecurity, and preventing both domestic and foreign threats. By weakening these organizations, Trump is essentially opening up the door for hostile actors to exploit U.S. weaknesses, whether through cyberattacks, espionage, or even direct influence.
3. The Risk of Disgruntled, Disillusioned Agents: By labeling federal agencies as corrupt or ineffective and firing large portions of their workforce, Trump is sowing a dangerous seed. These individuals, many of whom have spent years—if not decades—devoted to public service, could become deeply disillusioned and resentful. They are been punished for doing their jobs and the grievances-filled toddler of a man is angry they investigated his stupid ass. But the fact is they have a unique set of skills and expertise that, in the right hands, could be a significant asset for adversarial nations. If these agents become disgruntled and feel betrayed by their own government, it’s not hard to imagine them seeking alternative paths, including aligning with foreign governments. Both China and Russia would see these individuals as prime targets for recruitment, offering financial incentives and more stable positions in return for their expertise.
4. A Grave National Security Threat: This isn’t just a theoretical problem—it’s a direct and tangible threat to the national security of the U.S. When highly trained agents and officers leave or are pushed out, they don’t just disappear. The knowledge and expertise they possess are valuable, and hostile foreign governments won’t hesitate to recognize the opportunity to recruit them. In fact, they may already be positioning themselves to do so. The U.S. could end up with an exodus of intelligence talent that, in the hands of adversaries like China or Russia, could lead to catastrophic breaches in national security.
5. The Role of Congress: Congress has a responsibility to intervene here. If Trump’s agenda is allowing—or even encouraging—actions that undermine U.S. security, then it’s Congress’s job to step in and hold him accountable. The danger posed by alienating or destroying vital institutions is too great to ignore. It’s not just a political issue; it’s a matter of national survival.

This is a moment where the broader public and elected officials need to be more aware of the real risks involved. It’s easy to get caught up in the headlines and the political drama, but the long-term consequences of these actions—especially in the realm of national security—are potentially devastating. And I demand action from the legislative body and when bad things start to happen it will be your fault, while Trump may feel that he's playing a winning hand, the world is watching, and it's no longer just about domestic politics. This is a strategic game with high stakes, and if those at the helm don’t recognize the gravity of the situation, it could lead to irreparable damage.
