Neocon NeverTrumper Max Boot Lectured Us for Years About Patriotism and National Security.
Then His Deep State Wife Started Spying for South Korea in Exchange for Designer Bags and Clothes.

Do you remember this venal Thumb?

He's on the Council on Foreign Relations.

That means he's a Hyper-Patriot who only wants best for the US.

You know who else was on the Council on Foreign Relations with him?

His Deep State whore of a foreign spy wife.


U.S. Accuses Former C.I.A. Analyst of Working for South Korea

Sue Mi Terry, a North Korea expert with the Council on Foreign Relations, was charged with acting as an agent for Seoul after leaving the intelligence agency.

Spying for South Korea isn't the biggest act of treason I could think of. They're allies -- though of course they have their own interests, which may conflict with ours.

And even if this is not the most serious treason imaginable, it is still treason.

Sue Mi Terry, a prominent voice on American foreign policy, had a refined palate, a love for top-shelf sushi and a taste for designer labels. She liked coats by Christian Dior, handbags by Bottega Veneta and Louis Vuitton, and Michelin-starred restaurants.

Would you say she thirsted for the finer things, like Doctor President Jill Biden thirsts for perks, privileges, and the trappings of power? Like a full Secret Service security team with two teams of counter-snipers for an indoor luncheon?

And, according to federal prosecutors in Manhattan, she accepted such luxury goods and other gifts in exchange for serving the South Korean government in Seoul.

Ms. Terry, a former Central Intelligence Agency analyst and a senior fellow for Korea studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, is accused in a 31-page indictment released Tuesday of a yearslong effort to assist South Korean spies. The indictment says she even introduced the spies to congressional staff members, an action that she described as "bringing the wolf in."

...

In Ms. Terry's case, prosecutors say she began operating as a foreign agent in 2013, five years after leaving the C.I.A. She was first contacted by an intelligence officer posing as a diplomat for the Korean mission to the United Nations in New York City, the indictment said, and in return for her work over the next decade, Ms. Terry received handbags, clothing and at least $37,000 in covert payments to the think tank where she was employed at the time.


"Despite engaging in extensive activities for and at the direction of" the South Korean government, Ms. Terry did not register as a foreign agent with American officials, as required by law, prosecutors said. She faces two counts, one for failing to register under the federal Foreign Agents Registration Act, and the other for conspiring to violate it.

But as Hunter Biden and Gregg Craig have shown us -- Democrats aren't legally required to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act!

In a statement, Lee Wolosky, Ms. Terry's lawyer, said that the allegations were unfounded and distorted "the work of a scholar and news analyst known for her independence and years of service to the United States."

"Dr. Terry has not held a security clearance for over a decade, and her views on matters relating to the Korean Peninsula have been consistent over many years," Mr. Wolosky said. "In fact, she was a harsh critic of the South Korean government during times this indictment alleges that she was acting on its behalf."

He added, "Once the facts are made clear, it will be evident the government made a significant mistake."


...

According to the indictment, federal agents had suspicions regarding Ms. Terry's contact with Seoul as early as November 2014, when the F.B.I. called her in for a voluntary interview.

As she was questioned, Ms. Terry became "visibly nervous, changed her speech pattern and began to stutter and shift in her seat," the indictment said. Over the ensuing years, agents would track Ms. Terry to numerous restaurants and luxury stores in Washington, D.C., providing photos of her dining with her handlers and standing next to them at cash registers as they bought her expensive goods. Several were included in court papers Tuesday.

In an interview with the F.B.I. in June 2023, Ms. Terry, who was born in Seoul but raised in the United States, admitted that she had resigned from the C.I.A. in 2008 rather than be fired because the agency had "problems" with her contacts with members of South Korea's National Intelligence Service, the indictment said.

But her national-security work was only prelude to more wrongdoing after she left the government, according to prosecutors, including disclosing "nonpublic U.S. government information" to intelligence officers working for South Korea. The indictment says that Ms. Terry handed over handwritten notes of a private group meeting in 2022 regarding the U.S. government's policy toward North Korea that she attended with Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

During this period, the indictment said, Ms. Terry worked for several well-known think tanks in Washington.

Ms. Terry's activity on behalf of South Korea started small and became more ambitious as she worked with three different handlers, the indictment said. At first, she mainly published opinion articles favorable to South Korea's stance on North Korea, but soon she was facilitating meetings between incoming Trump administration officials and South Korean intelligence agents in 2016. By 2018, Ms. Terry was hosting meetings at a think tank at the request of her South Korean handlers, giving them access to U.S. national security officials, the indictment said.

...

During lavish dinners at primarily Michelin-starred sushi restaurants, followed by drinks at rooftop bars, Ms. Terry's handler would feed her lines she would then parrot in media appearances in the form of policy recommendations regarding U.S.-South Korea relations, the indictment said.

This isn't an aberration -- this is a fairly typical career trajectory for politicos and members of the vile US security state.

Rich Higgins (RIP) told me that many generals and admirals sell themselves to overseas patrons, particularly in the Middle East.

Supposedly they're offering "expert security" advice to foreign potentates. But that's just the cover story -- these guys have the best security experts in the world already.

The real point of giving them these jobs is so that sheikhs can call them on the phone and say, "Why don't you mention this problem we're having to the President? As a friend. We're not paying you to act as our foreign agent, after all. We've already paid you for your, um, 'security' expertise. But since we've already established this friendly relationship, could you be a pal and make the case for us at the State Department, the Commerce Department, and at the White House?"

Can't wait to find out which hostile foreign countries are funding various suddenly-wealthy NeverTrump grifter organizations.

>>>But what exactly the hell is the Council For Foreign Relations?

The CFR is probably the preeminent think tank for leftist globalists. It is made up of a lot of former and even current government official like Tony Blinken as well as business types like Larry Fink of BlackRock. If you overlayed the membership of CFR with the membership of the WEF there would be a lot of overlap.

They have outsized influence on government policy, particularly of Democrat run policy but also uniparty. Big supporter of the idiotic war in Ukraine and it shouldn't come as a surprise that Fiona Hill of the Ukraine impeachment sham is a CFR member.
