  • democracynow.org - Former CIA officer and whistleblower John Kiriakou personally knew CIA director nominee Gina Haspel when he worked at the CIA. But their careers have taken very different paths over the past decade. Haspel, who was directly involved in torture at a secret CIA prison in Thailand, has been promoted to head the agency. Kiriakou, who blew the whistle on the torture program, ended up being jailed for 23 months. For more, we speak with John Kiriakou, who spent 14 years at the CIA as an analyst and case officer.

      Peace be unto you...
      I am not sure how to understand your response...
      CIA tend to be serial killers and promote American Foreign Policies that create chaos and mayhem in the world to usurp the natural resources and influence political leaderships...
      Sadistic, serial killers join the CIA since many serial killers are highly intelligent...
      The agency hires mercenaries/contractors who used to be military and do not want to stop murdering and torturing people...
      There are those who work in the CIA agency who are not like this, but they just do paperwork and are not privy to such information...
      Take care and be true to your heart

    A great way to teach CIA agents that if they engage in torture, they could get appointed head of the CIA! Torture is good for your career at the CIA.

    Haspel's defence has been that she was following orders, and knowing chain of command, I was willing to accept her position, until I realized that if any normal, non-psychopathic person who even witnessed, let alone ordered, inhumane treatment of another human being in the way that has become acceptable, would be suffering debilitating PTSD, unable to function, work, or manage life. Simply, if she's ok with what she saw, she's a monster.

      @@Michael_Maxfield So how'd that war with Iran go? I must have missed it.
      And now, rumor has it that Haspel has been arrested, and is spilling the beans...for helping fix the election in Biden's favor. President Trump knew exactly what he was doing.
      It must be so calming to be such a brainwashed fool who believes everything the fake news media tells you. Maybe you should research Operation Mockingbird, for your own sanity. Do that and you might not be so shocked at what is about to be revealed.

    • @Michael_Maxfield
      @Michael_Maxfield 3 года назад

      @@byronleemarley9610 I think you misunderstood my post, I am the furthest thing from a fan of Bloody Gina as is humanly possible. My comment was just that the war hawks in the Senate would welcome one of their own. I doubt that she's been arrested, though I haven't been following the story that closely, and it would take overwhelming evidence to arrest a sitting CIA director, but if that's true, it's some of the best news I've heard all year.
      As for war with Iran, Trump is still trying, if only at this point to make things difficult for Biden. Of course Israel and Saudi Arabia are fanning the flames.
      I don't watch corporate news, only smaller independent outlets who lack corporate sponsors, and as for Operation Mockingbird, what would you like to know?
      But ask yourself this, if Trump is so wise, why did he appoint someone who was going to stab him in the back? If he was really smart, he would have appointed someone like Medea Benjamin to run the agency, not a swamp creature like Haspel. Trump's instincts are actually not bad, the problem is he's let the deep state play him like a fiddle for three and a half years instead of listening to the non interventionist like Bannon (who is a reprehensible human being, but who actually gave him good advice.)

    It would seem there's a lot of confusion around morality and ethics. People are distracted by this. Instead it would seem smarter to focus on what works and what doesn't work. What is prudent long term instead of the most expedient. It's a known fact that torture doesn't work. Sadism is rooted in unhealthy behavior. People and our planet need to return to good health. Behaving in such a sadistic manner is not the way to get there. There needs to be some legitimate mechanism for accountability of the CIA. How does the American people or the world know that the CIA is functioning in a healthy manner conducive to their ability to sustain? What if the powers that be have some sort of health issue that precludes them from being balanced in their view? Case in point - Vladimir Putin who appears to have Parkinsons. There are a lot of behavioral imbalances associated with Parkinsons, and they can only get worse.

      We must enter the seats of public service. We must make sure that only the most Loving/most Wise among us become our public servants.
      Then we will be in a position to change the laws and reign in the intelligence agencies, the police, and military.
      Then the way will be clear to implement the gazillions of practical creative solutions we already have on a grand scale and to finally begin the process of transitioning to a Whole New Way of Living rooted in Love and Wisdom without any need for government
      So what's missing? PEOPLE...at least 80 million individuals who are well-informed, free of misinformation and disinformation, on all the major issues of today AND who are devoting their time, energy, resources and talents to the political process.
      Since 2010, i've been waking up and mentoring around 10 NEW uninformed/misinformed individuals every week, helping them become well-informed, free of misinformation and disinformation, on all the major issues of today AND inspiring them to give their time, energy, talents, and resources to the political process to make sure that only the most Loving/most Wise among us become our public servants.
      It is imperative that each and every one of us, without exception, does the same. If you can't do 10, do 5. If you can't do 5, do 3. Then make sure each one of them does the same. Just don't do nothing.
