Intelligence Sources Say Biggest Threat To U.S. Is Actually U.S. Policy
"A new 'threat assessment' by the US intelligence cartel has named China the number one threat facing the United States today, followed by Russia, Iran, and North Korea."

This has of course led to blaring news headlines like this one from The New York Times, instead of something a little less propagandistic like "Here's who the CIA wants you to be afraid of in order to advance its geostrategic power agendas." 
The report makes a bunch of evidence-free assertions which serve no purpose other than to help manufacture consent for the movement of expensive weaponry around the globe at the facilitation of unscrupulous war propaganda firms like The New York Times.

This is all contradicted by my own intelligence source.
Far from being threatened in any real way by Beijing, Moscow, Tehran or Pyongyang, my intelligence source tells me that the greatest threat facing the United States today is actually the policy and behavior of the US itself.

"When prison has become your country's social safety net and you're incarcerating at a rate unseen anywhere else in the world, it is not the time for you to worry about Kim Jong Un," the intelligence source tells me.
But this crushing poverty and authoritarianism is necessary when a nation is the hub of a globe-spanning empire and its rulers need to make sure the populace remains too poor, busy and propagandized to begin interfering in the mechanics of the war machine.
Okay, my intelligence source is between my ears.
Anyone with a brain can see that there is no real threat to the United States from outside US borders.
The US government is the one threatening nations with obliteration if they do not obey its dictates, not the other way around. Nobody is threatening America.
Your own intelligence sources will tell you that the real threat to America comes from oligarchs, imperialists and war profiteers who see the US government and its historically unprecedented military force as a tool for expanding power and wealth, no matter the human cost.
We can trust our intelligence sources on that matter my friends. Our story is much better-sourced than any we'll ever see in The New York Times.
