Tulsi Gabbard was a Manchurian Candidate...and inside our intelligence knowledge base!

Tulsi Gabbard, her guru and the mysterious messages that helped shape her political career

Washington Post
By Jon Swaine

Butler’s followers practice a form of Hinduism that involves devotion to a single deity, in their case Krishna, and certain expectations around meditation, yoga and diet.
Some former members, however, have called the group a cult and said disciples were isolated from the outside world, characterizations the group has denied. Former devotees had been telling me for weeks that Butler controlled his followers’ major life decisions and demanded total obedience and secrecy. They said he spent years working to extend his reach into politics — and they suspected Gabbard’s rise in Washington was the culmination of that effort.
Now that Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman, had been picked by President-elect Donald Trump to be director of national intelligence, I wanted to understand: Just how much influence did Butler have on her?

Dozens of attached memos appeared to document directives and advice for Gabbard from her time in Congress. Some contained instructions on what legislation she should propose, which policies she should embrace and how she should conduct herself on television. They had an air of authority. A memo about a proposal to partition war-torn Iraq into three states quoted an unnamed person as saying it was “time for TG to come up with this idea.”

Rachel Maddow just covered this story. The details are stunning. Too much to put in a four paragraph excerpt. Here is an archived link to the WaPo article.

1. Many of us knew she was a cultist and Russian asset

Many on the left loved her in 2020.

4. Indeed. I was jumping up and down with concern...even before 2020.

One of my very progressive friends kept singing her praises, and doubting me.

Just call me Cassandra.

7. The mainstream of the Democratic Party loved her before The Left did...

She was selected as a Vice Chair of the Democratic Party National Committee, before changing her stripes the first time.. We all have to be on guard against ambitious elected figures who tell us what we want to hear. John Edwards excelled at that also. There are many good people who are Democratic leaders of every stripe within our broader coalition. There are also always some pretenders.

5. The M$M was complicit

Never once was there a “shocking expose” even though plenty of evidence has been out there for several years now….

6. Hiding in plain sight.

9. '...a proposal to partition war-torn Iraq into three states...'

As I recall a certain Joe Biden fellow suggested this very same thing in 2006 when he was senior Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
This Swaine at WaPo needed to come up with a better example than that.
