Short doco: Iran: The making of a war A CIA-MI6 coup in 1953 ousted the democratically elected prime minister of Iran, Mohammad Mosaddegh & installed a US-compliant monarchy under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Societal discontent with two decades of Pahlavi's repressive policies & continued western interference culminated in the 1979 revolution led by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. https://www.aljazeera.com/video/featured-documentaries/2026/8/1/iran-the-making-of-a-war?ref=upstract.com #USPol #UKPol #EUPol #IranianHistory #CIA #MI6 #USCoup .

July 27, 1954 - The democratically elected Guatemalan government of Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán, after receiving 65% of the vote, was overthrown by CIA-paid and -trained mercenaries. There followed a series of military dictatorships that waged a genocidal war against the indigenous Mayan Indians and against political opponents into the '90s. Nearly 200,000 citizens died over the nearly four decades of civil war. “They have used the pretext of anti-communism. The truth is very different. The truth is to be found in the financial interests of the fruit company [United Fruit, which controlled more land than any other individual or group in the country. It also owned the railway, the electric utilities, telegraph, and the country's only port at Puerto Barrios on the Atlantic coast.] and the other U.S. monopolies which have invested great amounts of money in Latin America and fear that the example of Guatemala would be followed by other Latin countries . . . I took over the presidency with great faith in the democratic system, in liberty and the possibility of achieving economic independence for Guatemala.” #Guatemala #CIA #Coupdétat #USImperialism

Vance admet les liens étroits entre Epstein et le mossad, la CIA. 😹😹😹

❗️US Vice President Vance links Jeffrey Epstein to Mossad and CIA intelligence

US Vice President JD Vance has publicly alleged that the late sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein maintained ties to the "highest levels" of both US and Israeli intelligence. Speaking in a wide-ranging interview with podcaster Joe Rogan this week, Vance asserted that the financier operated within the sphere of the CIA, Mossad, and other deep-state elements.

When prompted by Rogan on whether Epstein was a Mossad asset, Vance responded: "Mossad or CIA or some other deep state, whether in America or Israel or some other country … or both."

The Vice President further claimed that Epstein’s Israeli connections were specifically linked to political elements, notably former Prime Minister Ehud Barak. FBI records from 2020 revealed that bureau sources believed the financier was a "co-opted Mossad agent" trained in espionage. These claims arrive as Vance positions himself for a potential 2028 presidential bid, having recently spearheaded a now-collapsed memorandum of understanding with Iran.

Beyond the allegations surrounding Epstein, Vance warned of a "very discreet, extremely well-funded" Israeli influence campaign currently operating within the United States. He specifically cited reports of Israeli-funded digital operations targeting the MAGA base to dismantle diplomatic progress with Tehran, stating:

"I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there have been people within the Israeli government who are trying to, like, actually shift us away from that policy because they want to continue the military campaign."

Vance added that he believes the current cycle of strikes between the US and Iran would likely not be occurring if not for these external pressures, asserting that certain "super-hawkish" actors in the US political system are actively working to sabotage diplomatic efforts source the cradle #Epstein #Mossad #CIA #Iran #warOnIran

Trump is remote-controlled and everything that Trump touches dies. People across this small planet still have not figured out just how it is a bad leader started this idiotic war and, of course, wouldn't you know it: the US military went along with it without having reservations because their real mission aside from saving the world's productive oil fields for production of oil has not really been clear for many decades. Maybe we should turn this around on the US military since our top leaders are not accountable to us anymore. What have they ever done for us since Vietnam? Who are they really protecting us from? I think they're protecting us from our own selves... THIS ALSO GOES FOR ALL THE INTELLIGENCE SERVICES. ALL OF YOU DESK JOCKEYS LIED AMERICA'S WAY INTO WAR WITH IRAN. America is left holding the bag and Trump is still sitting pretty. This bastard of a president has already made billions from the Iran war and he's going to make even more money before he's done. Just look at what some of you have done to our country. You've let Trump do this to us. You could have removed him or even better yet: told yours to tell US Congress to not allow 2024 to proceed on electoral grounds over real election fraud WHICH ITSELF IS A NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE... OR DID YOU FORGET YOUR OATHS TO YOUR COUNTRY, #CIA AND MILITARY? Why didn't my country launch a counter coup against Donald J. Trump and just put a placeholder in office? After all, your own military intelligence wing basically did the same thing with JFK... sixty years ago: you uptight prigs and conformists of US society. Isn't that patriotic? No? Fuck you, then. How come Donald J. Trump has not yet felt the pain he deserves? *drops mic* Postscript: I changed this post to be viewable by the public. I have never served in the military or worked in government.

#Trump also referred to a report about #Venezuela showing it could successfully tamper with #VotingMachines. But documents posted by the White House featured an analysis by the #CIA last month that assessed intelligence collected over nearly two decades about the Venezuelan government’s ability to rig elections through voting machine tech. #FactCheck #TrumpLies #law #ElectionLaw #midterms #ElectionInterference #BigLie #ConspiracyTheories #VotingRights #elections

https://foreignpolicy.com/2026/07/10/cia-history-communist-albania-cold-war-kim-philby-review/ How NOT to launch a clandestine mission! Kim Philby didn't need to betray ANY of it, it was so badly organised! "Far from the buttoned-up, bureaucratized #spying of the later #ColdWar period, the early post-war #MI6 & #CIA were an almost shambolic bunch. With little oversight, especially on the #US side, these #agencies could concoct whatever schemes & plans they fancied... they were less James Bond, more Monty Python..."

[#Podcast] #LawAndDisorder, September 9, 2024 #September11, 2001: Lessons Learned And Overlooked "It has been 23 years ago this week since the attacks on September 11, 2001 in New York City, the Pentagon, and Shanksville, PA, killing nearly 3,000 people and injuring more than 6,000. On that day, the United States had a choice: The #GeorgeWBush administration could have treated the attacks as a violation of US and international law, launched a criminal investigation, and brought the perpetrators to justice in accordance with the rule of law. Instead, President Bush waged #EndlessWars against #Afghanistan and #Iraq, pushed through Congress the USA #PatriotAct, opened the notorious detention center at #GuantanamoBay which remain to this day, rounded up Muslims and South Asians for #IndefiniteDetention, initiated a wave of #CivilLiberties and #HumanRights violations, and committed wholesale torture against detainees and others. "To assess the legacy of 9/11 and the lessons learned and the lessons overlooked, we’ve invited someone who was at the center of Bush’s #WarOnTerror. John Kiriakou is a journalist, former CIA counterterrorism officer, former senior investigator for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and former counterterrorism consultant for ABC News. "In 2007, Kiriakou blew the whistle on the CIA’s torture program, telling ABC News that the #CIA tortured prisoners, that torture was official U.S. government policy, and that the policy had been approved by President George W. Bush. He knew what he was talking about. In 2002, he was responsible for the capture in Pakistan of #AbuZubaydah, then believed to be the third-ranking official in al-Qaeda. "He became the sixth #whistleblower indicted by the #Obama administration under the #EspionageAct of 1917 — a law designed to punish spies. He served 23 months in prison as a result of his revelations. "In 2012, the #RalphNader family honored #Kiriakou with the Joe A. Callaway Award for #CivicCourage, an award given to individuals who 'advance truth and justice despite the personal risk it creates.' He won the PEN Center USA’s prestigious First Amendment Award in 2015, the first Blueprint International Whistleblowing Prize for Bravery and Integrity in the Public Interest in 2016, and also in 2016 the Sam Adams Award for Integrity in Intelligence, given by retired CIA, FBI, and NSA officers."

I love this phrase: "presumption of regularity” It is in the lawsuit, filed by former CIA Director John Brennan against the DOJ and Trump administration, it states that the Trump/DOJ can no longer be trusted - the DOJ "no longer deserves the presumption of regularity”. For lawyers, the phrase “presumption of regularity” has a specific legal meaning. It refers to the longstanding principle that government officials are generally presumed to perform their duties lawfully and in good faith unless compelling evidence suggests otherwise. https://allchronology.com/2026/07/02/they-cant-be-trusted-legal-analyst-stunned-by-one-devastating-line-hidden-in-lawsuit-against-trumps-doj/ #Politics #Trump #DOJ #JohnBrennan #CIA #Law #RuleOfLaw

Over the next months, the list of sanctioned #judges on the #ICC grew. In June, Secy of #State #MarcoRubio announced sanctions on 4 judges, incl’g Alapini-Gansou & Bossa, for issuing arrest warrants against Israeli leaders. In Aug, ofcls added 2 judges to the list, incl’g Prost. She was targeted for her role in authorizing an investigation into #US military personnel at secret #CIA sites in the years after the Sept 11, 2001, attacks. The admin then imposed sanctions against 2 more judges in Dec.

US Top News and Analysis | Former CIA chief Petraeus says drone swarms are the next danger — and growth opportunity AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Former CIA director and former four‑star general David Petraeus warned that autonomous drone swarms represent the greatest emerging danger—and a massive long‑term investment opportunity—for militaries worldwide. Citing the rapid proliferation of cheap Iranian Shahed drones and the heavy use of unmanned systems in Ukraine and the Middle East, he said current defenses are inadequate and that future conflicts will feature coordinated, self‑navigating swarms that can overwhelm traditional interceptor systems. Petraeus emphasized that defense spending will surge to develop counter‑measures and that the broader “unmanned systems” sector, including autonomous sensors, command‑and‑control networks, and space‑based communications, will see the most structural growth as warfare shifts toward fully autonomous platforms.
