for example Phill Shnyder came forward when he put 2 and 2 together. if he's telling the truth. we are all in deep $#%#$.
what possibly could these agents be thinking. if they think when %%## hits the fan they wont be effected, they will be surely mistaken.
So what the hell are they thinking!!!!!
any thoughts ?
And if a secret agent reads this please respond hahahah.

Most 'special' agents of any government are hand selected for their national devotion. Most of them stand out because they truely believe that those in charge of their country are 'the right stuff'.
With that being said, these agents typically don't question the motives of their superiors, and blindly believe that whatever their orders are, they have good reason for giving them.
Scary huh?
The rest of the agents are quite the opposite. They care little for their country, nor it's enhabitants, and love nothing other than their paycheque. I would be such a person... if I were in such a position.
These people will never become more than a field agent, because the country cannot trust such people to give orders, only recieve them. If they start giving orders, they have to start developing their own code of morals... and theres no telling wether that will co-inside with what the country wants.
These 'pay cheque' agents typically do what they do for either the thrill of it, or for the chance of getting their hands in something few others can. Plus the money helps. But usually end up loathing the fact that they cannot advance through the agency, and will come to terms with their own morality in the end, and at that time, their loyalties typically change.
Which is why they were never given promotions in the first place.
Trust me. Those who are in charge of selecting these agents with such security clearance spend alot of time reviewing their mental history, and determining what they are capable of.

from what ive experienced (nothing top secret). its not really an issue(moral) you dont tell others because you know civilians are inadequate and are unable to offer anything remotely that would be considered assistance.
when you join the armed forces, from day one your taught to look at society with wavering eyes. common ppl are useless; they are not intelligent and are unable to survive when the sh*t hits the fan. and the deeper down the rabbit hole you go the severity of your disdain for citizens increases. in effect your ability to communicate with civilians diminishes.
any agent claiming things, has either had something that has turned his world upside down and cant think straight or is a disinfo agent. in the armed forces your bearing is highly valued; the man with unwavering bearing would be the standard for such interests.
as johnsky said if your not up to par you go no where.

Yeah, I suppose you could referr to the nationalistic agents as 'brainwashed' into doing what they do. Only, for the agency, the work is already done for them... all they have to do is go and pick them up.
The military is a great place for finding candidates for recruitment. Most of the people who enlist in the military had some form of patriotism in them, and are now very disciplined and readily follow orders. The ones who can think of their feet and still blindly follow their orders are typically the ones who work their way up to commanding roles in an agency.

Desensitized, and trained otherwise.

Any recruiting of military folks is based on their skills, not their blind allegiance. This notion of blind allegiance is hogwash. The fact that they already may have security clearances is another plus. This saves time and money in having to conduct a lengthy and expensive background investigation.
