We’re afraid of the three letter agencies, but their list of failures would suggest that quite a lot gets past them.



We'd probably need to know what didn't get past them to get an accurate picture. Maybe the flow is pretty high.


can you show us the list? Truly interested, seems like the three letter guys are pretty good at what they do.


Failures by the three letter guys? oh boy... Waco and Ruby Ridge are but two


Events with prominent intelligence failures: Pearl Harbour. Yom Kippur war, the Vietnam war defeat, September 11, Manchester Arena, the invasion of Iraq, the fall of Afghanistan, the Hamas attacks (2014, 2021, now). I’m sure there are masses more.
