Colombia: CIA Platform For Aggression Against Venezuela

September 5, 2019 Carlos Fazio, Resumen Latinoamericano Educate! CIA, Colombia, Latin America, Regime Change, Venezuela

On August 28, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the creation of the Venezuela Affairs Unit (VAU), which will be located in the U.S. Embassy in Bogota, Colombia. This moves leaves no doubt that Colombia is being designated as the main platform for a US made coup d’état against the constitutional and legitimate government of Nicolas Maduro and the servile role that Colombian President Ivan Duque is expected to play. The Venezuelan Affairs Unit will be headed by James Story, a former chargé d’affaires at the U.S. Embassy in Caracas...

Abolish Terrorist Agencies

July 28, 2019 David Swanson, World Beyond War. Create! CIA, Terrorism, Torture, Wars and Militarism

Every government on earth, beginning with the United States, should shut down and be done with secret agencies, spy agencies, agencies used for murder, torture, bribery, election-manipulation, and coups. While these agencies prevent the public from knowing what is being done in its name, they do not acquire any knowledge that benefits the public and that couldn’t have been acquired openly, lawfully, through simple research, diplomacy, and law-enforcement actions that respect human rights. While these agencies occasionally succeed in their criminal enterprises on their own terms, those successes always create blowback that does far more damage that the good — if any — accomplished.

CIA Has Covered Up Torture For Decades. Will Torturers Ever Be Prosecuted?

June 28, 2019 By Aisha Maniar, Truthout.org Educate! CIA, Torture

CIA Director Gina Haspel made a rare public appearance on April 18 when she spoke at Auburn University. Haspel reflected on her 34-year career with the agency, but failed to mention the years she spent involved in its extraordinary rendition program. She was quickly interrupted by a member of the audience: “Do you remember the thrill of the CIA black sites you tortured people in and the evidence you destroyed? Tell these young children, tell them who you tortured. You know their names: They’re still in Guantánamo Bay.”

Have You Heard Of The CIA’s Iran Mission Center?

June 26, 2019 By Vijay Prashad, Independentmediainstitute.org/globetrotter/ Educate! CIA, Iran, Middle East, US Imperialism

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was adamant—just hours after it happened—that the explosions on two Norwegian and Japanese oil tankers were the responsibility of Iran. Iran did this, he said, and Iran would have to pay the price. The United States government offered no evidence for this claim, apart from a grainy video that showed little that seemed conclusive. Pompeo took no questions. It is important to know that the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was in Tehran at that time. Abe, who has been trying to maintain the Iran nuclear deal, made no belligerent comments, nor did he storm out of the country.

Iran Says It Dismantled CIA-Run US Cyber Spy Network

June 19, 2019 Staff, Dailysabah.com Educate! CIA, Cyber Warfare, Iran, US Imperialism

Iran said on Monday it had exposed a large cyber espionage network it alleged was run by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and that several U.S. spies had been arrested in different countries as the result of this action. U.S.-Iran tensions are growing following accusations by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration that Tehran last Thursday attacked two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman, a vital oil shipping route. Iran denies having any role. The secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Ali Shamkhani, said on Monday: "One of the most complicated CIA cyber espionage networks that had an important role in the CIA's operations...

Mike Pompeo Disappointed By Anti-Chavism Division

June 11, 2019 Staff, Mision Verdad Educate! CIA, Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Latin America, Mike Pompeo, Regime Change, Venezuela

What did Mike Pompeo say? This is all about remarks made at a closed-door meeting with Jewish leaders in New York last week, where the diplomat confirmed that Anti-Chavista politicians are divided and impulsive and that efforts made by the United States to keep them together have been harder than what they have publicly shown. “Our conundrum, which is to keep the opposition united, has proven devilishly difficult,” Pompeo said in the meeting, adding that “the moment Maduro leaves, everybody’s going to raise their hands and say ‘Take me, I’m the next president of Venezuela.’

Freedom Rider: Pompeo’s Truth About Lies

April 27, 2019 Margaret Kimberley, Blackagendareport.com Educate! CIA, Intelligence, Surveillance, US Imperialism

It is rare for an enemy to give a gift the way Secretary of State Mike Pompeo did in a recent public speech. Pompeo said what anyone who has ever paid attention already knew. The intelligence agencies of the United States government are masters of deception and one should always assume that they are lying, cheating, and or stealing. When they say that a foreign leader is a “brutal dictator” the charge proves just one thing. The person in question is being targeted by the United States. The individual labeled a dictator is said to rule over people who want the U.S. to drop bombs on them or destroy their economy with sanctions.

“I Was The CIA Director – We Lied, We Cheated, We Stole”

April 23, 2019 By Tyler Durden, Zerohedge.com Educate! CIA, Journalism, Julian Assange, Whistleblowers

Former CIA director and now Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has long accused WikiLeaks of being a “non-state hostile intelligence agency”, usually manipulated by Russia. Since Pompeo first made this claim as CIA Director in April 2017, countless major US news sources from NPR to CNN to the Washington Post have uncritically repeated the line, smearing Julian Assange and WikiLeaks as "Russian agents," and more broadly using the narrative to stifle independent journalism and government whistleblowers.

Operation Gladio: The Unholy Alliance

April 19, 2019 Antony C. Black, Off-guardian.org Educate! Books, CIA, Fascism, History, Italy

On the hot summer morning of Aug. 2, 1980 a massive explosion ripped apart the main waiting room of the Bologna railway station. Eighty-five people were killed and hundreds more injured. Though at first blamed on Italy’s legendary urban guerrillas, The Red Brigades, it soon emerged that the attack had, in fact, originated from within the ‘deep state’ of the Italian government itself. The full nature of this secret parallel state would only come to light a decade later when the Italian premier, Giulio Andreotti, under questioning from a special commission of inquiry...

Libya Risks Being Torn To Shreds — Again — By Former CIA Asset Turned Warlord

April 12, 2019 By Alexander Rubinstein, Mintpressnews.com Educate! CIA, Libya, US Imperialism

TRIPOLI, LIBYA — Libyan strongman Khalifa Haftar, a 40-year veteran of Libyan politics and longtime CIA asset, on Thursday ordered his self-styled Libyan National Army (NLA) to advance on the densely populated capital, Tripoli, where the United Nations-backed government is seated. In the aftermath of the “humanitarian intervention” led by NATO in support of jihadists seeking to oust longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, various factions have vied for power in the war-torn nation, once the wealthiest in Africa.

Calculating The Damage From A Century Of Drug Prohibition

April 11, 2019 By Alfred W. McCoy, Tomdispatch.com Educate! CIA, Drug Policy, History

We live in a time of change, when people are questioning old assumptions and seeking new directions. In the ongoing debate over health care, social justice, and border security, there is, however, one overlooked issue that should be at the top of everyone’s agenda, from Democratic Socialists to libertarian Republicans: America’s longest war. No, not the one in Afghanistan. I mean the drug war. For more than a century, the U.S. has worked through the U.N. (and its predecessor, the League of Nations) to build a harsh global drug prohibition regime -- grounded in draconian laws, enforced by pervasive policing, and punished with mass incarceration.

The CIA’s View Of Venezuela: What We Learn From The Archives

March 8, 2019 T.J. Coles, Counterpunch.org Educate! CIA, US Imperialism, Venezuela

In 2017, then-U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director Mike Pompeo said: “we are very hopeful that there can be a [political] transition in Venezuela and we the CIA is doing its best to understand the dynamic there [sic], so that we can communicate to our State Department and to others.” CIA monitoring of the political situation and interference in Venezuela is, of course, nothing new. Back in April 2002, just days before the coup that temporarily ousted President Hugo Chávez, a Senior Executive Intelligence Brief anticipated the removal of Chávez by the Venezuelan military.

US Air Freight Company That Smuggled Weapons Into Venezuela Linked To CIA “Black Site” Renditions

February 15, 2019 By Whitney Webb, Mintpressnews.com Educate! CIA, Latin America, US Imperialism, Venezuela, weapons

GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA – Two executives at the company that chartered the U.S. plane that was caught smuggling weapons into Venezuela last week have been tied to an air cargo company that aided the CIA in the rendition of alleged terrorists to “black site” centers for interrogation. The troubling revelation comes as Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has rejected a U.S. “humanitarian aid” convoy over concerns that it could contain weapons meant to arm the country’s U.S.-backed opposition.

A Brief History Of U.S.-Led Regime Change In Latin America

February 15, 2019 By Liam Knox, Muckrock.com Educate! CIA, History, Latin America, Regime Change, US Imperialism

Last month, the U.S. recognized Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido as the “interim president” of Venezuela. Since then, Canada, the European Union, and a slew of other countries have followed America’s lead. The move is another sign of the return to Cold War-era U.S. policy in Latin America under President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Today, using records from the Central Intelligence Agency archives, we’ll take a brief look back at the last half-century of U.S. involvement in the region.

Wrongfully Convicted Whistleblower Asks: What Has This All Really Been About?

February 10, 2019 By Jeffrey Sterling, Roots Action Education Fund Resist! CIA, Jeffrey Sterling

It has been a year since I walked out of a federal prison after two and a half years of incarceration. Though “free” of the prison, I remain a prisoner of the criminal justice system for a time longer -- having been wrongfully tried, wrongfully convicted and wrongfully sentenced as a whistleblower. A big question for me has been, What has this all really been about? I have not been really sure if I could be categorized as a whistleblower, at least in the sense of the current times. I had indeed blown the whistle on wrongs I witnessed and experienced while in the Central Intelligence Agency, but unlike what had been in the charges and the trial, I did so officially to both the House and Senate Intelligence Committees. And for those actions, I was sent to prison.
