The suspects in the foiled plot to attack Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna earlier this month sought to kill “tens of thousands” of fans before the CIA discovered intelligence that disrupted the planning and led to arrests, the agency’s deputy director said.
The CIA notified Austrian authorities of the scheme, which allegedly included links to the Islamic State group. The intelligence and subsequent arrests ultimately led to the cancellation of three sold-out Eras Tour shows, devastating fans who had traveled across the globe to see Swift in concert.
The biggest surprise here is the CIA notifying anyone. They have a rich legacy of keeping their mouths shut and watching tragedies unfold, despite knowing they would happen.
They notified Israel on Oct 5 of a possible Hamas flare up and attack. Could have saved a lot of Isralies and a lot more Palestinians now.
Fairly sure they have also notified Germany about attacks on the pipelines, Ukraine about impending Russian attack before they believed it.
They have been guilty of bad acts in the past for sure, but in recent history it seems they have been pretty forward with passing information on to other countries when they have it
Fair nuff. They’ve probably got a at least a few more years of good deeds before public perception of them shifts.
Let go of the idea that the CIA is here to protect you. They are not.
They exist to ensure the current world order doesn’t change.
They will take advantage of any tragic event as long as it benefits their mission and agenda.
Everyone knows the CIA is filled with deep state swifties.
I’m fairly sure “All Too Well” is about her breakup with the CIA.
The CIA still has her red handkerchief and the Director still smells it to be reminded of their time together.
“We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” is actually about the CIA and Al Qaeda
