MSM lost their journalistic integrity long ago. It has been paid for propaganda for decades

So I’m not even sure I believe the claim he is the 4th, my ex had an idelic memory and had an IQ of 197, is a classic hacker and knows more about computers and hacking than he does about human interactions. If the government never hired him why would they hire Walter? I don’t doubt it’s based off of people like my ex and wallet but CBS is just creating publicity

Consider this…
Have you ever wondered why former spies or retired intelligence operatives (in any agency) rarely disseminate their experiences in the media? You’d think with the abundance of international crisis and political drama, these ‘insiders’ would be crucial to telling the many stories of past covert operations. –And these stories do eventually get told…but many years after they occurred, and only after a government declassifies such information. The first stories that come to mind are those that formed the basis for the films “Argo” and “Charlie Wilson’s War”. The protagonists in these movies were anti-heroes…they represent the kind of men who were honest, loyal and very committed to accomplishing their missions at all costs (sometimes resulting in tragedy…not all missions are a success, unlike in Hollywood). There is one more trait almost constant with each and every service member in the intelligence community: Keeping secrets.
Walter O’Brien’s almost profound lack of discretion, coupled with an almost laughable desire to exaggerate the facts, breaks one of the most treasured rules of participating in the intelligence fraternity: You never, ever violate your vow to divulge information that has otherwise been deemed “classified” or “top secret”. If this rule is broken, people’s lives may be at stake. Imagine what may have happened to the Iran Hostages who were held for many months AFTER the CIA (and Canada) managed to rescue six embassy workers in the most extraordinary of ways (as depicted in “Argo”) if the CIA (and any of their many collaborators) began bragging about the success of their operation. Even worse, imagine the potential fallout if a hotheaded egomaniac like Walter O’Brien not only disclosed the details of the op, but exaggerated the facts.
Here’s my point. I could care less what TV show is being peddled here, and anyone who takes Hollywood at its word is a fool. The second Walter began talking about participating in all these foreign operations (namely, in Afghanistan), I knew he was full of shit because nobody in their right mind would ever say something like that…ESPECIALLY to brag about it. In other words, the only reason a story like that would reach the airwaves prior to declassification is if a controversy arose amid chaos…like the wiretap scandal or the CIA operative WH leak. As we all witnessed, the government doesn’t take too kindly to former employees or contractors who shoot their mouth off about secret operations, especially operations that have taken place recently OR put people’s lives at risk. Walter obviously has ZERO government experience, because he would understand the potential ramifications of sharing sensitive information or experiences.
Another point: I think we all have met at least one person in our lives who was so ‘over-the-top’ in telling stories and life experiences, anyone around him just laughed and absolutely nobody took him seriously. My first experience was when I was first baptized as a 8-year-old boy and I was asking a fellow student at school whether he had ever been baptized, and he said, ‘Oh yeah, I’ve been baptized like five times already!’ Confused, my mom explained to me that he was lying to me. When I asked her why he lied, she simply stated that he wants people to think he is better than everyone else…and, more importantly, his words were not caused or provoked by anything I said or did (which was a load off my shoulders). I never understood why anyone would claim such ridiculous facts…people who are chronic liars are so wrapped up in their own lies that its quite possible they can no longer discern fact from fiction. –And they tell their ‘tales’ without any thought to those who could be potentially harmed or offended by them. I’m absolutely sure that any member of the intelligence community who has heard or read this FRAUD’s words knows INSTANTLY that he is full of shit…and, because of their loyalty and commitment to their trade; they LOATHE this asshole for attempting to connect a TV Show with what is really happening in the REAL world. It’s like every story he tells can be traced to some former work of fiction stylized in the same way he shares his stories. The way he expresses his ‘regret’ for causing the deaths of others is intolerable and his words lack any measure of solace or empathy. No man who’s lost another in battle would ever say anything like that…EVER.
I agree with the notion that this issue CAN NOT be swept under the rug. The choice CBS made to promote his lies (particularly, in relation to real-world events – the Naval Afghanistan Base or pre-Homeland Security encounter, notwithstanding…man, those were really, really stupid) is dishonorable and a disgrace. There are many men and women who work their asses off every day to combat terrorism, hackers, etc and – let me tell you – it is a SERIOUS and NEVERENDING fight, with many setbacks and unexpected casualties. (I know firsthand, but don’t take MY word for it…I don’t need you to – unlike Walter.) The sooner CBS owns up to their mistake in vetting this guy, the sooner the record can be set straight.
The real tragedy here is Walter O’Brien. A con is a con. He is a FAKE, a LOSER, an absolute insult to any professional in the intelligence community. The truth almost always comes out about most anything these days, especially if it is controversial…and if this much truth about Mr. O’Brien has emerged in only the first couple of months of “Scorpion’s” CBS release, imagine the shit that will pile up over the course of a full season. Seriously, it’s like that saying, ‘If you see one rat, there’s a hundred more you don’t see.’ I have no doubt that, come May, we will look back at these October discussions and ponder, ‘Wow, if we only knew then what we know now…’
Finally, Walter O’Brien lied on an official immigration document to gain entry and residence in the United States. As far as I’m concerned, the focus of any effort to expose Walter O’Brien should center on what consequences, if any, were directly caused by his fabrications. Regardless, his false statements on an official government document should warrant his immediate revocation of his Green Card, followed by his quick deportation. –And then, he should never be allowed to return to our country. Just think, someone was denied a visa in favor of this asshole. That pisses me off.

You are concerned with journalistic integrity yet spare nothing in leading readers down the path you want them to go down rather than be objective. I do not know mr Obrien nor do I care, someone overinflating their ego for television. have you never seen a presidential debate? I offer up to you as evidence of your complicity, the following. you use phrases to show incomplete or misleading information, such as “appear to be flat out false” something cannot appear to be flat out false it either is or it isn’t. You wrote “there really isn’t what most people would consider to be a naval base.” Which people? people like you or other people? You write,”the US military also doesn’t use local drinking water” Which you never really checked your facts. Many long range patrols cannot carry enough drinking water and do use local water. Also the bases use local water for showering and washing, etc. Arsenic infected water in the shower would get in the mouths and orifices of the soldiers. You said that he could not have been found by Homeland security because it did not exist in he 80’s. Since, U.S. Northern Command became the de-facto head of Homeland security , which is just a grouping of hundreds of agencies that existed prior to the 80’s. People normally refer to the name of a company or organization now vs when they started. Unfortunately your series of articles are filled with inaccuracies and extreme amounts of assumptions that YOU make.
Sorry but even if CBS has done what you say, you most certainly have too.

what is wrong with all of you, yes it quotes its based on a real story and the real Walter is not who he claims but its a god dam television show so take you heads out of your asses a sort your life out, because if all you can do is complain and criticize something which don’t really matter then you need to get a life. If your to stubborn and vain that you have to focus on some other persons life because yours is so f*****g perfect then your wrong.
