US Intel Agencies Try To Strong-Arm Trump Into War With Russia

January 11, 2017 Mike Whitney, www.counterpunch.org Educate! CIA, Donald Trump, Intelligence, Russia, Wars and Militarism

By Mike Whitney for Conter Punch - Powerful elites are using the credibility of the US Intelligence agencies to demonize Russia and prepare the country for war. This is the real meaning of the “Russia hacking” story which, as yet, has not produced any hard evidence of Russian complicity. Last week’s 25-page report, that was released by the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, illustrates to what extent intelligence is being “fixed around the policy”. Just as the CIA generated false information related to Weapons of Mass Destruction to soften public resistance to war with Iraq, so too, the spurious allegations in the DNI’s politically-motivated report are designed to depict Russia as a growing threat to US national security.

Real Purpose Of U.S. Government’s Report On Alleged Hacking By Russia

January 11, 2017 Chris Hedges, www.truthdig.com Educate! CIA, Hacking, Russia

By Chris Hedges for Truth Dig - The barely contained rage of Director of National Intelligence James Clapper at the recent Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on foreign cyber threats was visible when he spat out that RT was “promoting a particular point of view, disparaging our system, our alleged hypocrisy about human rights, et cetera.” His anger was a glimpse into how the establishment seethes with hatred for dissidents. Clapper has lied in the past. He perjured himself in March 2013 when, three months before the revelations of wholesale state surveillance leaked by Snowden, he assured Congress that the National Security Agency was not collecting “any type of data”

Senate Torture Report Being Kept From Public For 12 Years After Obama Decision

December 19, 2016 Spencer Ackerman, www.theguardian.com Educate! Barack Obama, CIA, Torture

By Spencer Ackerman for The Guardian - Barack Obama has agreed to preserve the Senate’s landmark investigation into the CIA’s use of torture after 9/11, but his decision ensures that the document remains out of public view for at least 12 years and probably longer. Obama’s decision, revealed in a letter from White House counsel W Neil Eggleston, prevents Republican Richard Burr, the Senate intelligence committee chairman who has been highly critical of the investigation, from destroying existing classified copies of the December 2014 report. Daniel Jones, a former committee staffer who led the torture inquiry, criticized the preservation as inadequate.

Hypocrisy Behind The Russian-Election Frenzy

December 15, 2016 Robert Parry, www.consortiumnews.com Educate! 2016 Elections, CIA, Russia

By Robert Parry for Consortium News - As Democrats, the Obama administration and some neocon Republicans slide deeper into conspiracy theories about how Russia somehow handed the presidency to Donald Trump, they are behaving as they accused Trump of planning to behave if he had lost, questioning the legitimacy of the electoral process and sowing doubts about American democracy. The thinking then was that if Trump had lost, he would have cited suspicions of voter fraud...

The CIA’s Absence Of Conviction 199

December 12, 2016 Craig Murray, www.craigmurray.org.uk Educate! CIA, United States

By Craig Murray for Craig Murray - I have watched incredulous as the CIA’s blatant lie has grown and grown as a media story – blatant because the CIA has made no attempt whatsoever to substantiate it. There is no Russian involvement in the leaks of emails showing Clinton’s corruption. Yes this rubbish has been the lead today in the Washington Post in the US and the Guardian here, and was the lead item on the BBC main news. I suspect it is leading the American broadcasts also. A little simple logic demolishes the CIA’s claims. The CIA claim they “know the individuals” involved. Yet under Obama the USA has been absolutely ruthless in its persecution of whistleblowers...

Installing A Torture Fan At CIA

November 21, 2016 Ray McGovern, www.consortiumnews.com Educate! CIA, Torture

By Ray McGovern for Consortium News - The CIA’s torturers can breathe a sigh of relief after President-elect Trump tapped a defender of “enhanced interrogation techniques” to become CIA director, writes ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern. President-elect Donald Trump’s selection of Kansas Congressman Mike Pompeo, an open aficionado of torture practices used in the “war on terror,” to be CIA director shows that Trump was serious when he said he would support “waterboarding and much worse.”

CIA ‘Siren Servers’ Can Predict Social Uprisings 3-5 Days In Advance

October 10, 2016 Tim Hinchliffe, www.sociable.co Strategize! CIA, Mass Surveillance, Uprising

By Tim Hinchliffe for The Sociable - The CIA claims to be able to predict social unrest days before it happens thanks to powerful super computers dubbed Siren Servers by the father of Virtual Reality, Jaron Lanier. CIA Deputy Director for Digital Innovation Andrew Hallman announced that the agency has beefed-up its “anticipatory intelligence” through the use of deep learning and machine learning servers that can process an incredible amount of data.

CIA Whistleblower Kiriakou Honored For Integrity

October 5, 2016 Ray McGovern, www.consortiumnews.com Resist! CIA, Whistleblowers

By Ray McGovern for Consortium News - The U.S. government gives free passes to officials who commit war crimes but imprisons whistleblowers who tell the truth, a fate that befell CIA’s John Kiriakou for disclosing torture. But he was honored by some ex-intelligence officers, reports Ray McGovern. Former CIA official John Kiriakou, who spent two years in prison for revealing the truth about White House-sanctioned torture, became the 15th recipient of the Sam Adams Award for Integrity at a ceremony at America University.

USAID or US CIA?

September 25, 2016 Thomas C Mountain, www.countercurrents.org Educate! CIA, Regime Change, USAID

By Thomas C Mountain for Telesur. The US Agency for International Development (USAID) was created by Pax Americana to provide a cover for CIA agents under the pretext of helping the 3rd World. US Imperialism has to do some good or its potential targets would not open their doors to intelligence agents posing as do gooders, so USAID was created. Today the USAID is headed by Gayle Smith, formerly the “Special Advisor” to President Barack Obama and Senior Director of the National Security Council. To put it simply, Gayle Smith is one of the top “spooks” in the USA, someone who told the CIA what to do. Today this former “spook” is running a multibillion dollar “aid agency” with thousands of employees or “contractors” operating world wide. Who knows who is an agent and who is a real aid worker when it comes to USAID.

July 28, 2016 Michael Garofalo , www.salon.com Resist! CIA, DNC

By Michael Garofalo for Salon - Former CIA Director and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta’s address to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia on Wednesday was met with loud boos and chants of “No more war!” and “Lies!” from the delegation.

CIA Agent Expects To Be Extradited To Italy

June 9, 2016 Staff, www.bbc.com Educate! CIA, Italy

By Staff of BBC News - A former CIA agent has said that she expects to be extradited imminently from Portugal to jail in Italy for her alleged role in the 2003 abduction of a terror suspect in Milan. Sabrina de Sousa says she lost an appeal against extradition last week. She is one of 26 Americans convicted in their absence for the abduction of Egyptian cleric Abu Omar. He was allegedly flown to Egypt from Italy and tortured as part of the US extraordinary renditions programme.

CIA ‘Accidentally’ Destroyed Torture Report?

May 27, 2016 Carey Wedler, www.theantimedia.org Educate! CIA, Edward Snowden, Torture, Whistleblowers

By Carey Wedler for ANTIMEDIA - The world’s most famous whistleblower, Edward Snowden, took Twitter by storm when he created an account last year. Since, he has criticized everyone from the FBI to Google, so his latest post on the CIA should come as no surprise. Commenting on revelations the CIA “inadvertently” destroyed a copy of the 6,700-page torture report, Snowden questioned the agency’s official story.

MIT Historian Suing CIA For Transparency On Nelson Mandela

May 20, 2016 Ken Klippenstein, www.readersupportednews.org Resist! CIA, Nelson Mandela, Transparency

By Ken Klippenstein for Reader Supported News - This weekend, The Sunday Times reported that a former CIA agent confessed to having been responsible for the arrest of Nelson Mandela in 1962. The arrest led to Mandela spending 27 years in prison. The CIA agent, Donald Rickard, issued the confession in an interview conducted just two weeks before his death. Though embarrassing for the CIA, Rickard’s admission may prove a boon for historian Ryan Shapiro’s lawsuit against the Agency, which seeks to liberate CIA records pertaining to Mandela via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

CIA Watchdog ‘Inadvertently’ Destroys Its Only Copy Of Torture Report

May 17, 2016 Staff, www.rt.com Educate! CIA, Torture

By Staff of RT - The CIA’s internal watchdog “inadvertently” deleted its only copy of the Senate report on torture techniques employed by the agency in the wake of 9/11 – and did so while the Justice Department was insisting in court that copies were being stored. Other copies still exist, including at the CIA itself, but news of the deletion is significant, as it occurred at the CIA inspector general’s office, which is in charge of overseeing policies and conduct at the agency to ensure that it is not breaking the law or acting out of bounds.
