Cool I'm in Vienna ga now!

Unger should take a look at what FDR did to get us into WW2, including letting British intelligence have free reign in the US to conduct propaganda operations, blackmail US politicians and other covert operations. Ironically, Casey’s mentor William Donovan presented William Stephenson (aka “Intrepid”) who ran the British operation with a medal. “Democrats just don’t do that”?

The “Golden Age of Journalism” Unger fondly remembers often colluded to lie to us. The JFK assassination is a classic example.

At 6:45 Tim mentions "meaconing. I remember reading or hearring that "Meaconing" (Miminc bEACONING) was a dirty trick the Soviets used to draw the RB-47 recon version of the B-47 bombers that used to fly SIGINT along the Barents Sea over the northern part of the USSR, to draw them into Soviet airspace and shoot them down. You did a great episode on the RB-47 shootdown a while back. Maybe that dirty Soviet trick of meaconing was mentioned on that ep, I cannot recall.

Adds every 5 minutes.. don't waste Ur time

This is a rehash of Barbara Honegger's 1989 book, "October Surprise."

Clown reporter. Harvard Newsweek background speaks volume. He honestly thinks Carter would have won reelection if it wasn’t for Iranian hostages Completely ignores hyperinflation and Carters incompetence No wonder this reporter got sued for $10m. He’s full of bs

Fascinating! I am well aware of those photos and they are famous to those interested in the Soviet space program. I was lucky enough to be in a position to visit Baikonur in 1995 and during the visit, saw Buran as well as a few other airframes. My understanding is that Buran was simply the name of the first spaceflight worthy airframe however it has been casually extended / applied across the fleet. It flew once, made two orbits, and executed an impressive cross range maneuver to land just a few kilometers from the launch pad. The flight was fully automated and no cosmonauts flew during this test flight. The program was curtailed before a crewed mission was flown. The version of 'Buran' with jet engines was known as the 'Analogue'. It was actually a structurally different airframe that retained the external shape, mass, c-of-g, etc of the actual orbiter but also had jet engines which allowed it to be flown from a runway, taken to altitude, and then glided to landing allowing for crews to practice landings. Essentially, it provided for the same development phase as the ALT (Approach and Landing Test) phase of the Shuttle development which used Enterprise, a non-spaceflight worthy airframe to validating control laws , etc. of the FBW system as well as providing essential practice for Cosmonauts. Like the US Shuttle, there was thought given to having jet engines to assist with landing however the benefits were outweighed by the weight / payload penalty and the final designs did not incorporate them. Buran and a fully assembled Energia rocket that it rode into orbit were destroyed in a roof collapse in Baikonur during attempted repairs to the roof.

Since this podcast was posted, there have been 1 or 2 failed trident launches from British subs which imo demonstrates the deterrent isn't even credible. So, I would agree that the money could be better spent on conventional forces that can be used to defend the UK.

"@MicaiahBaron "So, um... Any idea where the invasion weapons came from?" Saddam Hussein was a Soviet client. He got his MIGs and T Series tanks from Russia.

Sucks that every time you have a non right-wing guest the comments get salty. Like, the guy can't stay on topic, but he's not wrong. The Republicans are a corrupt party, and have been for decades. You can't detatch the Cold War from the damage the party has done and continues to do.

You missed the WHOLE story . The whole story is the President of the US, Premier of Germany, and President of France agreed to send the Ayatollah from his home in France to Iran by plane . This is the story

This video is top of the line into the world of Intel . It's nice to know that there is human interaction in the work that they do & humidity it . All work & no play makes Jack a dull boy . Thanks for posting .

You think this guy will ever do a book on the Democrat Party assault on democracy

All this goes way back to 1924 George walker and Prescott bush. Does those names sound familiar? Yea they funded the nazis, tried a coup on FDR, talked Truman into starting the cia to look after their companies special interest, not ours. Would eventually kill Kennedy, keep heroin pouring into our country, and Ol George h w bush would have weapons smuggled into iran. And the wheels on the bus goes round and round!

Too many freaking ads.. not worth it

Omg this story needs more press.

Mr. Unger must be very happy that the mainstream media has become the official mouthpiece of the Democrat administration. How did he feel when the FBI tricked Gen. Flynn and perpetrated a fraud against the sitting President?

How can anyone look upon our history and believe either party is not complicit? I can not imagine the effort it must take to view one party with rose colored glasses. It seems a waste of time and intellectually crippling.

This story is one of the most interesting cases of political intrigue ever. Even the Israeli's got involved to help their enemy Iran get these weapons, but I guess back then in 1979 Saddam's Iraq was the real threat to them - they went on to bomb his nuclear reactor a few years later in 1981.

This is pure fantasy. Carter lost the election because of the economic numbers he produced. I.e., 13% inflation, one-tenth of one percent real GDP growth. No president gets re-elected with those numbers (see Yale's Ray Fair's model of presidential voting). Worse, this theory was refuted by Jimmy Carter himself when he published his memoir of his 4 years as president; 'Keeping Faith'. Contrary to this guy, Carter was negotiating through back channels with the Iranians for the hostages release, and even came to agreements (yes, plural). What put the kibosh on those was that Saddam Hussein invaded Iran just when their negotiator, Sadegh Ghotbzadeh, was to return from Europe to Tehran to get final approval. Carter's summation was that, Understandably the Iranians turned their attention to defending their country. But that was the summer of 1980. When Iran managed to fend off the Iraqis, they returned to the negotiations and offered another deal. Carter rejected that deal, because he didn't want them to be released in phases along with money payments. Carter admits this in a book based on his diary. It's in the public record.

And you give airtime to this Democrat lover?? Also clearly has no inkling what Watergate was all about. Also , suffers from selective amnesia with regard to what the Democrats have been PROVEN to be capable of.

It’s a stretch to say “CIA installed the Shah”; they couped out Mosaddegh's government which allowed the Shah to tighten controls big time. That was all at the behest of UK who cried “look communists!” because of the oil nationalisation after they had cheated Iran out of royalties for past 50 years… Communist sympathy was only growing because Mosaddegh had been seen as weak for not getting the oil situation sorted when nationalisation was supported by everyone in Iran, including the Shah. Ironically, after Mosaddegh’s removal the focus of the anti-Shah movement looked far more closely to Ayatollah Kashani who was Khomeini’s mentor. Hell of a lot of “what-if” alternative history can be considered if Britain had even consented to an audit and renegotiation of the royalties in the late 40’s. Regardless…. It’s good that his book has been published, it brings quite a bit of primary sources that have been ignored into the light before they would otherwise have been lost to time.

I’ve read his book, and it’s great

Boer from SA. Perhaps I am just old fashioned, clearly there is no path to redemption for such high crimes. Line them. N man moet baie laag le dat hy draai op sy broers. Stuur hom om met God te praat is wat so probleem nodig het.

First time ive ever found something admirable about Kissinger Fascinating tale, what an amazingly resilient man to survive with his spirit, integrity, and humanity so intact.

She mentioned Nechiperenko who has confirmed he was behind the bombing of RFI/RL, and Oleg Kalugin directly implicated her husband by name in the inside planning of it. I don’t know if her husband’s memoir addresses that. She refuses to discuss if she worked for kgb but confirms she tried to make clandestine meetings by herself in Vienna. She discusses her conversation with RAF terrorist in a warm and chummy way. She comes across as entitled, self justifying, and completely forgetting her roots and what that system did to her country, her co-religionists, and her direct family.

First I’d ever heard a recording of their voices; how on earth did they ever pull off being Canadian???

Now that's a shitty job.

A very enjoyable discussion. Thank you.

Thank you this was fascinating

The British Government fell for one of the most popular ploys in the book if you want to make sales get your art banned so in effect Thatcher was Wrights best sales/marketing agent.

Thanks!

What a great character, RIP mucker

His English is self taught from mostly reading.

Thank you for remembering Veterans Day.

Great convo for Novemeber 11! Here in Canada.

A Btry 3/84th, Heilbronn - Redleg

What would happen I was at school with a nuclear bomb was go off what would happen

How painful is Tim Tate with his Oh-So-Rediculous Pregnant-Pauses during this whole bloody interview. PAINFUL.

This was fun! See you at Easter for Soviet Threat! ☢️

Thank god it is only the 35th anniversary of the wall coming down!

Now Germany needs border surveillance again, this time against hordes of engineers and doctors from Africa and SE Asia invading your country.

Thank you both for this fascinating insight! 👍

There was talk they had an internal affairs rat on every shift at my old job. They called them field associates. Can't say i ever sniffed one out in 22 yrs on the job but there were plenty of giys (and gals) that would love to drop a dime on someone to get weekends off steady or a job inside to get off the streets.

Thank you, Dietmar !

I've been waiting for this. An East German border guard interview. Thank you Ian.

Too many adds spoils it
