In the mid-80's, he co-founded Tracking Technology Inc., a forerunner to GPS. He became a stockbroker for eight years, then segwayed to project finance, consulting for such notables as Darryl Quarles (writer/director of Family Ties & Fresh Prince of Belair), Larry Namer (founder of E!Entertainment), Joseph Nikolson (founder of TradeStation and Bonds.com), and Richard Waryn (former Investment Manager of the World Bank's private arm, the IFC), through his company New Planet Group (NPG LLC). He has lived in nine countries and knows three languages.
I have no direct knowledge but I find the below report very credible and very useful to all who doubt the President's resolve in taking down the Deep State and its assigns in Washington (rogue elements of the CIA, FBI, NSA, US military, Department of State, Department of Commerce, Department of the Treasury, etcetera). This is a helpful counterpoint to the totally insane and unconstitutional idea of privatizing covert operations, possible to include the domestic assassination of opponents of the President. Still missing from the President's armory are the Trump Channel and Open Source Agency, Grand Strategy (Two-Way) Conversation with America, and the Election Reform Act as a Presidential initiative to replace the compromised Congress.
If Mike Pompeo wants to commit virtual suicide and end his prospects of being an effective Secretary of State, three recent articles document his death wish – championship of a rogue intelligence network proposed by Erik Prince and beloved by Oliver North – both arguably ripe for indictment for crimes against humanity. If this asinine, unconstitutional, unethical idea survives the week, the President will not recover.
That such as idea would even be considered suggests to me that Mike Pompeo – the honor graduate of his West Point class – has failed completely to get a grip on the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and is disqualified from any other post in the Trump Administration until he does so. It takes brains and balls to get a grip on CIA and through a revitalized CIA, the rest of the US Intelligence Community (IC). Escaping to the Department of State to herd cats and be a cocktail-sipping cookie pusher is a demotion. Pompeo needs to get a grip and demonstrate he can inspire loyalty and competence not just at CIA, but across the IC which does not now serve the President.
Multiple White House sources have told reporters that the Trump administration has been negotiating with Erik Prince (founder of the war-crimes plagued mercenary firm Blackwater; brother to pyramid-scheme billionaire/Education Secretary Betsy Devos) and ex-CIA operative John R. Maguire to assemble a private army of deniable, off-the-books spy/mercenaries who could target Trump's “deep state” political enemies in the USA, and kidnap and render similar figures overseas.
Using pin numbers, up to 50 paedophiles at a time would log onto a chatroom via the app to see boys and girls being raped live – with some horrific film footage featuring babies just 12 months old.
