I don't doubt it, nor of your claims of him being related to the salt and hotel companies. My gut tells me Kos is a right winger who has insidiously been astroturfing himself as some kind of immigrant whose family fled due to the communists. I've seen him cry about bloodshed due to them. I've never read him talk about the right wing death squads.<br /> <br />Look, he clearly applied to the CIA and has praised it as a liberal institution he wouldn't mind working for. That is damaging enough to anyone's credibility of claiming to be a lefty. But you have no proof that he was trained by them. You diminish the things that have been proven by stretching this. Yeah, it appears that he was trained by them. There's nothing wrong in saying that. But when you make it seem that it has been proven that he worked for them, you make yourself look like a paranoid, conspiracy theorist. Just saying.<br /> <br />As for him being a gay man, I believe he is, but that it is of the latent persuasion. I don't think he realises he is gay, nor that he has ever acted out on his organic sexuality. But he has shown a misogynist streak. He has been over the top anti-gay, quite similar to those gay men who say they have been cured and that it is an illness. Anyone who has been against gays in the military hasn't a clue. Gay people have shown just as much an ability to succeed in society as any other group or ethnicity.<br /><br />I hope you didn't take it personally that I think you are wrong to claim that Kos trained or worked for the CIA. I believe he was too, based on his own words. I think he had a brain cramp. I think he was trying to spread pro-CIA propaganda. It's also very odd how he has never explained the timeline from what he said at the Commonwealth Club. I find it odd that with all the Kos-CIA threads put up at his centrist shitehole, he has never bothered to take those opportunities to state clearly what the fock he was talking about. He applied in 2001. He said it was a six month process. He said he decided against being a clandestine spy to instead work for Howard Dean. That was in 2003. DKos was started in 2002. So yes, he's got some splainin' to do to Ricky Ricardo. If I was him, I would have just lied or whatever and say he erred by accident in the interview. Or I would have said that he didn't hear back from them until a year later, anything to make his words add up. That he has never cleared the air for that, to me, implies that he was working for the CIA and perhaps has never left their organisation or he transferred to an FBI or NSA internet cointelpro type operation.Tokyo Shemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764134901412321022noreply@blogger.com
