The Media has been abuzz the last two days with the resignation of the Director of the National Counter-Terrorism Center, Joe Kent. Today, on Judge Andrew Napolitano's podcast, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson surprised many saying of Kent: "This individual has a record in the past that I would not say brought him to my attention in a favorable way. That's as kind as I can say it."
Clearly, Kent has a shady past. In his military career, he was involved in Special Operations in questionable legal military engagements. After leaving the Military, he served with the CIA as a "paramilitary officer." He then had a media career with Corporate Media outlets CNN, Breitbart, and Fox News. He ran for Congress in Washington's 3rd District unsuccessfully twice. with the endorsement and assistance of Neo-Nazi podcaster Nick Fuentes, later selling out Fuentes in much the same way that he has done with the Trump Administration this week.
One of Kent's first stops after resigning was on Tucker Carlson's podcast where he dropped several innuendos about the murder of Charlie Kirk, which seems a little strange to focus on since he allegedly resigned over the Iran War.
Kent may be on the level, but I think that Col. Wilkerson had some sage advice: "I always like to look in the horse's mouth before I listen to him whinny." Kent's resignation, to my mind, bears too close a pattern to the staged falling out between Trump and Elon Musk last year. Musk served as a conduit for a certain faction of the New Right obsessed with muh Epstein Files. Another faction currently is dissatisfied with the Administration's subservience to Zionist interests and the murder of Charlie Kirk. Could Kent have been dispatched for a similar purpose? Time will tell: but, like with both Musk and Kirk, given the past of the principals involved, trust but verify might be the best option.
