Good news and fascinating back story!-----Five eyes dimming - Thomas Lifson

And the Deep State takes it on the chin - Thomas Lifson 

The “Five Eyes” intelligence sharing arrangement has put the United States’ hundred billion dollar+ intelligence budget at the service of the UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, vastly benefitting the intelligence agencies of Anglosphere allies.
But, to the shock of many, the Trump administration is cutting them out of key areas of interest...

• In concert with Deep State operatives embedded in the US intel community, spooks from half of the other four members collaborated in trying to bring down President Trump’s first campaign and then successfully hobble his first term in office...
• But beyond any animus, there is absolutely no strategic reason for President Trump to favor the other four eyes when it comes to complete and honest intelligence sharing. That’s something of great value and making it a “gimme” for other Anglo-Saxon players diminishes our bargaining leverage...

Five Eyes won’t cease to exist tomorrow, of course; Most of the routines will continue until further notice. And no doubt there is plenty of benefit to the US. 

But those other four aren’t automatically seeing everything.
It’s the end of an era.
