Podcast appearances and mentions of Avril Haines

Isaac is joined by Daniel Boguslaw to argue that Tulsi Gabbard couldn't possibly be worse than outgoing Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines.

Donald Trump continues to amaze and delight conservatives with his team of Outsiders, all of whom are determined to return the United States government to the people to whom it belongs. But just what makes each of these appointees special? And more importantly, HOW DO THEY COMPARE TO THE SWAMP CREATURES THEY ARE REPLACING? In this first set of head-to-head comparisons, Hot Mic host Bill Whittle drills deep into both of their backgrounds and provides a rock-solid foundation to support the hope that this enormous job of rehabilitation and restoration is actually possible.

The Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, this week confirmed Iran has had a major role in the anti-Israel protests that swept through college campuses and cities across the United States. Director Haines said there is evidence that "actors tied to Iran's government" are providing funding and organization of these protests in what he described as an "increasingly aggressive" campaign. Haines added that he believes many of the protestors are being manipulated but as we approach the election, it is Iran's bid to "undermine faith in our democratic institutions." FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Victoria Coates, former deputy national security advisor to President Donald Trump and Vice President of National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation, who says this announcement is not a surprise and any influence by Iran in the United States is a national security threat.

Nach Bruch der UN-Charta und des Völkerrechts setzt Washington US-Recht durchEin Kommentar von Wolfgang Effenberger. Am 4. Mai 2023 war Generalleutnant Scott Berrier, Leiter der US-Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), zusammen mit Avril Haines, Director of National Intelligence, vor dem Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) geladen, um die Einschätzung der beiden Geheimdienste (DIA und Defense Intelligence Enterprise / DIE) zur komplexen Bedrohungslage darzulegen:„Wir sind dabei“, so Berrier, „unsere Herangehensweise an die Bedrohung unserer Nation durch den strategischen Wettbewerb mit China, Russland und anderen ausländischen Staaten zu verändern“(1).Mit weiterer Unterstützung des Senats würden DIA und DIE auch künftig hervorragende Leistungen bei der Quellenauswertung und im Bereich Human Intelligence (HUMINT)(2) erzielen. China und Russland seien bestrebt, mittels fortschrittlicher Technologien den technologischen Vorsprung der USA zu untergraben. Dabei verfolge China bei der Technologieentwicklung einen gesamtstaatlichen Ansatz. Die Volksbefreiungsarmee (PLA) – wichtigste militärische Kraft der Volksrepublik China – und der bewaffnete Flügel der Kommunistischen Partei Chinas (KPCh) seien der Ansicht, dass die Integration von Zukunftstechnologien - insbesondere "Künstliche Intelligenz" (KI) und Quantentechnologie - auch in militärischen Angelegenheiten von enormer Bedeutung ist.Der Direktor der DIA zeigte sich sehr besorgt über die anhaltenden Bedrohungen durch China, Russland, Nordkorea, den Iran und durch gewalttätige extremistische Organisationen, „aber China ist unsere größte Herausforderung und hat für die DIA oberste Priorität“. Diese Aufzählung findet sich bereits in TRADOC 525-3-1 "Win in a Complex World 2020-2040" vom September 2014 sowie in der aktualisierten Verteidigungsstrategie vom 27. Oktober 2022.Berrier hält die aktuelle Bedrohungslage für exponentiell gefährlicher als jene im Jahr 1984, als er bei einem Infanteriebataillon in Alaska als Nachrichtenoffizier (S2) Dienst versah. Nun würden wir uns in einer tripolaren Welt (mit den führenden Staaten USA, Russland, China) befinden, in welcher der strategische Wettbewerb von entscheidender Bedeutung ist:„Die Ereignisse des vergangenen Jahres zeigen deutlich, dass unsere Konkurrenten ermutigt sind und versuchen, die auf Regeln basierende internationale Ordnung mit Gewalt umzugestalten und die Interessen der USA herauszufordern“.(3)Nachdem die USA 1999 ohne UN-Mandat Restjugoslawien (Serbien und Montenegro) angriffen und sich seither die "Interventionen" selbst mandatieren, steht im Wertewesten die Phrase der "regelbasierten internationalen Ordnung" hoch im Kurs. Nahezu jeder westliche Journalist, der einen Kommentar zum Krieg veröffentlichen will, muss ein entsprechend „regelbasiertes“ Verhalten an den Tag legen, sonst wird er als "Putin-Versteher" ins Abseits gestellt.... hier weiterlesen: https://apolut.net/die-regelbasierte-internationale-ordnung-als-neuer-big-stick-von-wolfgang-effenberger Hosted on Acast.

Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) is to moral panics over privacy what Andreessen Horowitz is to cryptocurrency startups. He's constantly trying to blow life into them, hoping to justify new restrictions on government or private uses of data. His latest crusade is against the intelligence community's purchase of behavioral data, which is generally available to everyone from Amazon to the GRU. He has launched his campaign several times, introducing legislation, holding up Avril Haines's confirmation over the issue, and extracting a Director of National Intelligence report on the topic that has now been declassified. It was a sober and reasonable explanation of why commercial data is valuable for intelligence purposes, so naturally WIRED magazine's headline summary was, “The U.S. Is Openly Stockpiling Dirt on All Its Citizens.” Matthew Heiman takes us through the story, sparking a debate that pulls in Michael Karanicolas and Cristin Flynn Goodwin. Next, Michael explains IBM's announcement that it has made a big step forward in quantum computing.  Meanwhile, Cristin tells us, the EU has taken another incremental step forward in producing its AI Act—mainly by piling even more demands on artificial intelligence companies. We debate whether Europe can be a leader in AI regulation if it has no AI industry. (I think it makes the whole effort easier, pointing to a Stanford study suggesting that every AI model we've seen is already in violation of the AI Act's requirements.) Michael and I discuss a story claiming persuasively that an Amazon driver's allegation of racism led to an Amazon customer being booted out of his own “smart” home system for days. This leads us to the question of how Silicon Valley's many “local” monopolies enable its unaccountable power to dish out punishment to customers it doesn't approve of. Matthew recaps the administration's effort to turn the debate over renewal of section 702 of FISA. This week, it rolled out some impressive claims about the cyber value of 702, including identifying the Colonial Pipeline attackers (and getting back some of the ransom). It also introduced yet another set of FBI reforms designed to ensure that agents face career consequences for breaking the rules on accessing 702 data.  Cristin and I award North Korea the “Most Improved Nation State Hacker” prize for the decade, as the country triples its cryptocurrency thefts and shows real talent for social engineering and supply chain exploits. Meanwhile, the Russians who are likely behind Anonymous Sudan decided to embarrass Microsoft with a DDOS attack on its application level. The real puzzle is what Russia gains from the stunt.  Finally, in updates and quick hits, we give deputy national cyber director Rob Knake a fond sendoff, as he moves to the private sector, we anticipate an important competition decision in a couple of months as the FTC tries to stop the Microsoft-Activision Blizzard merger in court, and I speculate on what could be a Very Big Deal – the possible breakup of Google's adtech business.

Today's episode opens a subject I prefer to wait discussing and that is the mass-shooting in the Texas mall. The narrative changes so much and the Legacy/mainstream media is so desirous to paint a narrative that supports their gun grabbing, freedom infringing desires to eliminate the 2nd Amendment. So, I need to point out the hypocrisy of how some coverage just magically disappears while other stories get embellished and shared. My next story deals with a new allegation brought forth on the Biden Crime Family of evidence of bribery. According to Bud Cummins, he said he notified the DOJ in 2018 over the bribery, but nothing was done. The bribe centers around the removal of a prosecutor looking into Ukrainian energy corruption. Does this scenario sound familiar? Remember Biden bragging about withholding a billion dollars in aid unless said prosecutor was fired? This leads to the ongoing investigation by Rep. James Comer (R-KY) into the money peddling schemes they have detailing. He spoke Sunday and urged the DOJ not to file charges against Hunter Biden until they had a chance to issue their findings this coming Wednesday. I cannot wait to see how the Democrats try to shift the narrative and whether it gets any substantial media coverage. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) said the ODNI just created yet another Ministry of Truth. It seems a law passed in September of last year gave the Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, the ability to try yet another censorship program, designed to have all of the other small ones roll up under it. Remember a few weeks back when the White House said they would send 1500 troops to the border for when Title 42 runs out on May 11, 2023? I said at that moment the troops would serve to make it easier for the invasion of illegals to get across the border. Well, President Biden all but confirmed that in an interview on MSNBC, saying they were not going to enforce the law. Sheriff Lamb who is on the border and running for Senate, put out a video confirming that very notion. Yet, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas can't figure out why there would be hundreds of thousands of migrants surging toward our border. He still wants us to believe it's closed. Even Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) said the Biden administration has had two years to plan for this and hasn't done a thing. Speaking of Arizona, corrupt election official Bill Gates from Maricopa County wants us to feel sorry for him over his PTSD. According to Gates, dealing with all of the election denialism is the same as what WWII veterans experienced when fighting for freedom. What a disgusting attempt to make the two seem even remotely equivalent. Finally, in the You Can't Make This Up file, ousted mayor of Chicago, Lori “Leftist” Lightfoot wants you to believe she lost thanks to “right wing forces that wanted to take down a big-city mayor.” The radical Leftist, who lost to an even more radical socialist/Marxist, is blaming her loss on the right. It's astonishing the lengths these folks go to in order to let their magical-thinking convince them that their fantasies are reality.

Glenn Beck Special. Yes, We're in a Cold War with China: The Playbook to Take Down the US EXPOSED. Did the Chinese spy balloon incident FINALLY wake up Washington? A recently leaked memo from the head of the U.S. Mobility Command came with a startling statement. The Air Force general said that he believes we will be AT WAR with China in just two years. As scary as that sounds, Glenn argues that we've been at war with China FOR DECADES — it's just that China has been the only one fighting it. As each decade goes by, Chinese governments have been getting bolder and bolder while WE pretend nothing is happening. Glenn reveals the playbook the Chinese military have used to wage a cold war on our country … in their OWN WORDS. It involves Hollywood, drugs, the media, technology, the economy … EVERYTHING. For the Chinese Communist Party, no strategy is out of bounds. It is ALL happening now, while we watch from the sidelines. Glenn speaks to Richard Grenell, former acting director of national intelligence under Trump, who warns that our intelligence community has a crisis on its hands. Grenell says the Biden admin was caught flat-footed and both Democrats and Republicans are concerned that Biden's director of national intelligence, Avril Haines, is NOT being transparent with committee members in classified meetings.

In last month's December 15th podcast, we shared our 2022 Reagan National Defense Forum's Keynote Address. In January's podcasts we will share four additional panels with you. As previously shared, the Reagan National Defense Forum has quickly become one of our nation's premier gatherings for defense and national security experts. The Defense Forum brings together leaders from across the political spectrum and key stakeholders in the defense community, including Members of Congress, current and former Administrations officials, senior military leadership, industry executives, technology innovators, and thought leaders. Their mission is to review and assess policies that strengthen America's national defense in the context of the global threat environment. In this year's fireside chat, United States Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines joined Andrea Mitchell of NBC News for a moderated discussion about the pressing security issues facing the United States. Director Haines provided her unique perspective on a multitude of national security matters, including Russia's war in Ukraine, the protests in Iran and China, and North Korean nuclear tests. She highlighted the role the intelligence community plays in keeping America safe.

Today's fourth Christmas guest editor this year is Sir Jeremy Fleming, director of GCHQ, the UK's largest but probably least known intelligence agency. Hear highlights from his programme which centres on the theme of data and trust, including how we all share our own personal information and how intelligence agencies across the world handle that data. Guests include Avril Haines, the United States director of national intelligence, Vint Cerf, one of the founding fathers of the internet, and multiple Olympic champion Sir Ben Ainslie, who discusses the use of data in his sport of sailing.

A top U.S. spy chief said pilots nationwide were reporting numerous UFO sightings that could be of alien origin. Avril Haines, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) admitted that strange encounters with unidentified flying objects need to be highlighted for more investigation and thus, gain a better understanding of these unidentified aerial phenomena. Recently, pilots from Southwest Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, and several others spotted multiple aircraft in the night sky, leaving them scratching their heads, wondering what was happening. On Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis talks with Ben Hansen, former FBI agent, aviator, and host of the Discovery+ show, ‘UFO Witness', about PILOT LIGHTS.Originally Broadcast On 10/24/2022

Three women close to Obama are causing pain for Trump and the American people from inside the Biden regime.

Several weeks ago, when Avril Haines, the current director of national intelligence under the Biden administration, was testifying before a Senate hearing, she admitted that even though we are shipping billions of dollars worth of weaponry to Ukraine, the U.S. government actually lacks a clear picture of Ukraine's war strategy. ⭕️ Sign up for our NEWSLETTER and stay in touch

Francisco last week at the Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) conference.  We summarize what they said and offer our views of why they said it. Bobby Chesney, returning to the podcast after a long absence, helps us assess Russian warnings that the U.S. should expect  a “military clash” if it conducts cyberattacks against Russian critical infrastructure. Bobby, joined by Michael Ellis sees this as a routine Russian PR response to U.S. Cyber Command and Director, Paul M. Nakasone's talk about doing offensive operations in support of Ukraine. Bobby also notes the FBI analysis of the NetWalker ransomware gang, an analysis made possible by seizure of the gang's back office computer system in Bulgaria. The unfortunate headline summary of the FBI's work was a claim that “just one fourth of all NetWalker ransomware victims reported incidents to law enforcement.” Since many of the victims were outside the United States and would have had little reason to report to the Bureau, this statistic undercounts private-public cooperation. But it may, I suggest, reflect the Bureau's increasing sensitivity about its long-term role in cybersecurity.   Michael notes that complaints about a dearth of private sector incident reporting is one of the themes from the government's RSA appearances. A Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) executive also complained about a lack of ransomware incident reporting, a strange complaint considering that CISA can solve much of the problem by publishing the reporting rule that Congress authorized last year.  In a more promising vein, two intelligence officials underlined the need for intel agencies to share security data more effectively with the private sector. Michael sees that as the one positive note in an otherwise downbeat cybersecurity report from Avril Haines, Director of National Intelligence. And David Kris points to a similar theme offered by National Security Agency official Rob Joyce who believes that sharing of (lightly laundered) classified data is increasing, made easier by the sophistication and cooperation of the cybersecurity industry.  Michael and I are taking with a grain of salt the New York Times' claim that Russia's use of U.S. technology in its weapons has become a vulnerability due to U.S. export controls.  We think it may take months to know whether those controls are really hurting Russia's weapons production.   Bobby explains why the Department of Justice (DOJ) was much happier to offer a “policy” of not prosecuting good-faith security research under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act instead of trying to draft a statutory exemption. Of course, the DOJ policy doesn't protect researchers from civil lawsuits, so Leonard Bailey of DOJ may yet find himself forced to look for a statutory fix. (If it were me, I'd be tempted to dump the civil remedy altogether.)   Michael, Bobby, and I dig into the ways in which smartphones have transformed both the war and, perhaps, the law of war in Ukraine. I end up with a little more understanding of why Russian troops who've been flagged as artillery targets in a special Ukrainian government phone app might view every bicyclist who rides by as a legitimate target. Finally, David, Bobby and I dig into a Forbes story, clearly meant to be an expose, about the United States government's use of the All Writs Act to monitor years of travel reservations made by an indicted Russian hacker until he finally headed to a country from which he could be extradited.

De libraire indépendante à espionne, le scénario pourrait être tiré d'un blockbuster. Mais c'est le parcours improbable d'Avril Haines, une femme aux milles visages propulsée au premier rang depuis le début de la guerre en Ukraine. Elle est un peu l'oracle de la première puissance mondiale : Avril Haines est la première femme cheffe du renseignement américain. Elle prédit que le conflit ukrainien n'est pas prêt de s'arrêter, on vous explique !

Last week, on the morning of March 8th, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence held its annual worldwide threats hearing to hear testimony about the current security threats that face the United States and its allies. The committee heard from Intelligence Community leaders, including Lieutenant General Scott Berrier, Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, William Burns, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Avril Haines, the Director of National Intelligence, General Paul Nakasone, the Director of the National Security Agency and Christopher Wray, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Avril Haines è nata in una famiglia di scienziati ma ha fatto l'aiuto meccanico in un'autofficina di New York. Si è laureata in fisica e poi ha aperto una libreria. Ha il brevetto di volo e ha sposato il suo istruttore. Soprattutto, è la spia più potente del mondo. E c'è lei dietro la strategia di Biden per spiazzare Putin.

"There's a growing realization that great power competition is back. That Russia and China are much more serious competitors than we thought they were." Expert on American intelligence Amy Zegart joins the show, along with her new book Spies, Lies, and Algorithms: The History and Future of American Intelligence. A look at the past, present, and future of the American intelligence world, the book pushes readers to think more deeply about the institutions charged with keeping our country safe. As Amy and Daniel discuss, America cannot function properly if the citizens do not trust the major institutions of the country-- and that includes our massive intelligence apparatus. With forays into spy novels, music, figures such as Edward Snowden and Julian Assange, and the deep polarizing tenor of today's conversation, the conversation goes in surprising and sometimes shocking direction.

Somehow … there's an “ancient UFO connection” between the recent Ignatious Forum Conference on “Our Future in Space” — held at the National Cathedral, in Washington DC — and the time-eroded ceremonial structures of ancient megalithic Britain. At the National Cathedral, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) herself, Ms. Avril Haines, summarized the current baffling phenomenon: “The main issues that Congress and others have been concerned about is the safety of flight, and counterintelligence issues …. always, there's also the question of, ‘Is there something else that we simply do not understand, which might come … extraterrestrially?” Our concerns tonight extend much deeper: Is there a provable human connection between the “thousands-of-years-old monuments of ancient Britain,” the creation of Washington's “National Cathedral” over a hundred years [...]

On episode 240 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we are joined by Luis Jimenez of the Unidentified Celebrity Review, Jazz Shaw, political analyst and writer for The Debrief, and surprise guest, John Greenewald Jr. of The Black Vault! Greenewald shares a breaking story of a new Navy UFO event that he uncovered through FOIA files, and what this could mean for further FOIA requests he's already put in. Then, the guys catch us up on the latest UAP news concerning HR 4350, an amendment, drafted by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, for inclusion in the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act requiring the government to strengthen its investigations of unidentified aerial phenomena. They also discuss the recent symposium, Our Future in Space, that was held at the Washington National Cathedral and featured speakers such as Harvard professor, Avi Loeb, NASA Administrator, Bill Nelson, and National Intelligence Director, Avril Haines.

From May 28, 2019: From the Washington Post's February report that U.S. Cyber Command took a Russian disinformation operation offline on the day of the 2018 midterms to fight election interference, to the Pentagon's announcement last year that it would take more active measures to challenge adversaries in cyberspace, recent news about cyber operations suggests they are playing an increasingly important role in geopolitics. So how should the public understand how the United States deploys its cyber tools to achieve its goals?To help answer that question, at the 2019 Verify Conference, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation hosted a panel discussion featuring former CIA Deputy Director Avril Haines, former Pentagon chief of staff Eric Rosenbach, and New York Times national security correspondent David Sanger. They talked about how the U.S. projects power in cyberspace, the difficulties of developing norms to govern state behavior in that domain, and more.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

The intelligence community has slowly diversified its workforce in recent years. Minorities made up 27% of the intelligence community workforce in 2020. But like many agencies, the lower ranks of the IC is more diverse than the senior leadership corps. Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines says agencies do a decent job hiring diverse candidates. But they need help retaining them. For the latest the Federal Drive spoke to Federal News Network's Nicole Ogrysko.

This week we are honored to host Avril Haines, Director of National Intelligence. As the first woman to serve as DNI, Avril Haines has an extraordinary perspective and the experience to match. She discusses her current role and the path that led her there, diversity in the intelligence field, how to be an effective leader, challenges facing the intelligence community, and so much more.

Trước đó hai hôm, ngày 27/05/2021, Nhật Bản và Liên Hiệp Châu Âu trong cuộc họp cấp cao trực tuyến, kêu gọi « duy trì hòa bình và ổn định tại eo biển Đài Loan ». Căng thẳng gia tăng tại Biển Đông và biển Hoa Đông và ẩn sau đó là những rủi ro xung đột giữa Mỹ và Trung Quốc. Làm thế nào đánh giá được những rủi ro đó ? Nhà báo Joris Zylberman trên trang mạng RFI lần lượt phân tích những nguy cơ có thể dẫn đến đối đầu quân sự Mỹ - Trung tại ba điểm nóng ở châu Á – Thái Bình Dương : Eo biển Đài Loan, biển Hoa Đông và Biển Đông. Đài Loan và chiến lược mập mờ Từ năm 2019, Trung Quốc không ngừng gia tăng sức ép không - hải quân đối với Đài Loan. Ông Tập Cận Bình và đảng Cộng Sản Trung Quốc tuyên bố hạ gục « tỉnh nổi loạn » bằng cuộc chiến tiêu hao hay bằng vũ lực nếu thấy cần thiết. Đối với ông Tập, không thể để gánh nặng hợp nhất này cho thế hệ tiếp theo. Kế hoạch tái chiếm có thể được hình dung theo hai bước. Đầu tiên là phá hủy các trung tâm chỉ huy, căn cứ không quân và hải quân sau khi tấn công tin học để vô hiệu hóa hệ thống phòng thủ và chiếm lấy kiểm soát không phận. Rồi tiếp đến mới cho đổ bộ. Nhà nghiên cứu Mathieu Duchatel, giám đốc chương trình châu Á, Viện Montaigne lưu ý trong cuộc chiến này Trung Quốc chưa chắc gì nắm lấy phần thắng. Đó sẽ là một cuộc chiến hao tốn nhân lực. Và nhất là Bắc Kinh chưa làm chủ được một yếu tố quan trọng : Phản ứng của Mỹ. Thế nên, theo ông Mathieu Duchatel, « kịch bản khả dĩ nhất, chính là hai hay ba thời điểm khủng hoảng trong 10 năm, đưa Trung Quốc dần dần tiến đến mục tiêu của mình. Mỗi một cuộc khủng hoảng sẽ mang lại một chút lợi thế. Điều quan trọng là Bắc Kinh cần trắc nghiệm quyết tâm kháng cự của Đài Loan và Hoa Kỳ ». Nước Mỹ của Joe Biden sẽ làm gì ? Với đạo luật 1979, « Taiwan Relations Act », Hoa Kỳ cam kết cung cấp vũ khí để Đài Bắc có thể tự vệ trước những hành động gây hấn của Bắc Kinh, nhưng đồng thời vẫn tôn trọng « nguyên tắc một nước Trung Hoa duy nhất ». Vậy khi Đài Loan bị xâm chiếm, liệu Mỹ có sẽ đến ứng cứu hay không ? Về điểm này, nước Mỹ vẫn tỏ thái độ nước đôi, đến mức có cả một chính sách : « Mập mờ về chiến lược » Hiện tại, tổng thống Joe Biden không đoạn tuyệt với chính sách của Donald Trump. Ông cũng gởi các đặc sứ cấp cao đến gặp tổng thống Đài Loan Thái Anh Văn. Tháng 4/2021, Joe Biden cho dỡ bỏ những hạn chế các cuộc tiếp xúc cấp cao với chính quyền Đài Bắc. Ông thậm chí còn vận động được G7 lên án « những hành động quấy rối của Trung Quốc nhắm vào Đài Loan ». Phải chăng chủ nhân Nhà Trắng hiện nay sắp làm rõ chính sách của mình về Đài Loan ? Đây cũng chính là những gì mà nhiều tướng lĩnh cấp cao Mỹ đòi hỏi từ ba tháng qua. Đối với cựu đô đốc James Stavridis, sự mập mờ về chiến lược « rất có thể dẫn đến những đánh giá sai lầm từ phía Trung Quốc (hay từ Đài Loan) và khơi dậy một cuộc xung đột diện rộng. » Thế nhưng, đó không phải là quan điểm của chính quyền Biden, nhất là với bà Avril Haines, giám đốc tình báo quốc gia (cố vấn của tổng thống về tình báo). Theo bà, « việc từ bỏ chiếc lược nước đôi có lẽ gây bất ổn sâu sắc cho Trung Quốc. Điều này sẽ còn củng cố ý tưởng của Trung Quốc cho rằng Hoa Kỳ quyết tâm ngăn chặn sự trỗi dậy của Trung Quốc, kể cả thông qua sức mạnh quân sự. Điều này chắc chắn sẽ đẩy Bắc Kinh tìm cách gây cản trở các lợi ích của Mỹ trên toàn thế giới. » Cũng theo bà Avril Haines, việc tỏ rõ lập trường còn thúc đẩy thêm những mầm mống tuyên bố độc lập chính thức của Đài Loan, vốn dĩ là một điều tối kỵ đối với Bắc Kinh. Theo nhà nghiên cứu Antoine Bondaz, Quỹ Nghiên cứu Chiến lược (FRS), « với Đài Loan, những bảo đảm an ninh đó là không rõ ràng. » Quan điểm này đã được ông Kurt Campbell, điều phối viên của Nhà Trắng về chính sách Ấn Độ - Thái Bình Dương khẳng định. Ông cho rằng Washington và Bắc Kinh chia sẻ cùng lập trường : Duy trì nguyên trạng xung quanh đảo này ở một mức độ nào đó, là nằm trong lợi ích của cả hai cường quốc. Biển Đông và yếu tố Philippines bất định Tại Biển Đông, vùng biển này có diện tích rộng bằng một nửa châu Mỹ, có nhiều nguồn khoáng sản, dầu khí và còn là con đường giao thương huyết mạch, nơi trung chuyển của 1/3 thương mại toàn cầu, Trung Quốc đòi hỏi chủ quyền đến 80% diện tích khu vực. Một đòi hỏi khó thể chấp nhận được đối với nhiều nước sở hữu và cũng có các đòi hỏi chủ quyền với nhiều đảo như Việt Nam, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei và Indonesia. Hồi tháng 2/2021, Trung Quốc ban hành một đạo luật mới cho phép « tầu tuần duyên Trung Quốc có trang bị vũ khí » được phép đáp trả « những sự cố bạo lực nghiêm trọng » tại những vùng lãnh hải mà Trung Quốc cho là có chủ quyền. Bởi vì tầu chiến nước ngoài ngày càng hiện diện đông đảo. Hạm đội Mỹ đặc biệt còn tiến hành các chiến dịch « tự do lưu thông » ở Biển Đông, vì Washington không muốn để Bắc Kinh độc quyền kiểm soát cả một khu vực chiến lược rộng lớn. Rủi ro xảy ra sự cố hiện hữu khắp vùng. Người ta còn nhớ vụ va chạm trên không giữa một tiêm kích Trung Quốc và chiếc máy bay trinh sát của Mỹ năm 2001 đã làm thiệt mạng một phi công Trung Quốc. Năm 2018, hàng không mẫu hạm USS Decatur và tầu khu trục hạm Lan Châu (Lanzhou) xuýt nữa va nhau khi chỉ cách có 41 mét. Nhà nghiên cứu François-Xavier Bonnet, Viện Nghiên cứu về Đông Nam Á đương đại (Irasec), nhận định : « Rủi ro ở đây chính là một sai lầm. Nếu một tầu chiến Mỹ bị radar Trung Quốc chiếu sáng và một chiếc tên lửa được trực tiếp bắn đi sau khi bị rọi, Hoa Kỳ có thể có phản ứng. Chiến tranh cục bộ có thể trở nên lan rộng ». Ngoài ra, Hoa Kỳ còn phải đối mặt với một rủi ro khác : Bị lôi kéo vào một cuộc đối đầu giữa Trung Quốc và một trong số các nước đồng minh của Mỹ, những nước đang có tranh chấp chủ quyền, đặc biệt là Philippines. Theo yêu cầu của Manila, Tòa Trọng Tài Thường Trực La Haye năm 2016 ra phán quyết cho rằng những đòi hỏi « chủ quyền lịch sử » của Bắc Kinh ở Biển Đông là không có cơ sở pháp lý. Vì hy vọng thu hút nhiều đầu tư Trung Quốc, tổng thống Philippines đã gạt phán quyết của La Haye sang một bên, cho đấy chỉ là « một mớ giấy lộn » đáng « ném vào sọt rác ». Thái độ nhún nhường này của ông Rodrigo Duterte cũng không ngăn cản được 200 tầu đánh cá Trung Quốc ngang nhiên neo đậu tại bãi Đá Ba Đầu hồi tháng 3/2021. Trên thực tế, đó là những đội tầu dân quân biển, có nhiệm vụ làm tiền đồn cho hải quân Trung Quốc. Theo nhà địa lý học François-Xavier Bonnet, bãi Đá Ba Đầu là phần đông bắc của Cụm Sinh Tồn, « cụm đảo quan trọng nhất tại Biển Đông ». Trung Quốc đã chiếm hai bãi đá ngầm và giờ nếu có được cả bãi Đá Ba Đầu, nước này có thể xây dựng một khu căn cứ hải quân lớn cùng với oanh tạc cơ, có khả năng tấn công đến đảo Guam của Mỹ. Một điểm khác cũng khiến Hoa Kỳ lo lắng : Căn cứ không quân trên bãi đá Chữ Thập, trong quần đảo Trường Sa. Tại đây, Bắc Kinh cho xây dựng một đường băng dài 3.000 mét và đang chuẩn bị mở rộng thêm căn cứ. Từ điểm này, một chiếc oanh tạc cơ Trung Quốc cùng với máy bay tiếp liệu có thể đi tới các bờ biển của Úc. Ông Francois-Xavier Bonnet tóm lược như sau :« Scarborough, Đá Chữ Thập (Fiery Cross), Cụm Sinh Tồn (Union Banks) và bãi Đá Vành Khăn (Mischief), khi nối tất cả các nhóm đảo này lại, Bắc Kinh có thể sẽ kiểm soát được Biển Đông, cả trên bình diện không quân, hải quân lẫn tầu ngầm. » Để hiểu rõ toàn cảnh vấn đề, chuyên gia Antoine Bondaz còn cho rằng người ta nên chú ý đến độ sâu của các vùng biển :« Biển Đông là vùng biển ngoại vi duy nhất của Trung Quốc có độ sâu lớn, ở đó người ta có thể làm cho các chiếc tầu ngầm không bị phát hiện, một điều quan trọng cho khả năng răn đe hạt nhân của Trung Quốc. Hiện tại, tầu ngầm tên lửa hạt nhân của Trung Quốc chưa thể đi tới đến bờ tây của nước Mỹ. Bởi vì, Trung Quốc còn phải đối mặt với một chuỗi các điểm không an toàn : nước này cảm thấy bị bao vây bởi hệ thống liên minh của Mỹ theo hình chữ "J" bắt đầu từ Nhật Bản, sang Đài Loan, Philippines rồi Úc. Do vậy, việc phá vỡ vòng vây này, thu hồi Đài Loan, cũng như biến Biển Đông thành một thành trì kiên cố là điều cần thiết ». Trước đà trỗi dậy mạnh mẽ về chiến lược của Trung Quốc, Washington mong muốn có thể dựa vào tất cả các đồng minh trong khu vực. Chính ở điểm này Philippines của ông Duterte lộ rõ là một yếu tố bất ổn. Vị tổng thống tính khí thất thường đe dọa hủy thỏa thuận thăm viếng quân sự (VFA) ký kết từ năm 1999. François-Xavier Bonnetgiải thích : « Thỏa thuận này cho phép các binh sĩ Mỹ tiếp cận dễ dàng hơn các khu căn cứ quân sự Philippines mà không cần hiện diện thường trực vào lúc mà Hoa Kỳ đang dần triệt thoái khỏi Afghanistan. Hoa Kỳ còn có thể đối phó với một đòn tấn công mạnh tại khu vực trong trường hợp xung đột với Đài Loan. » Trong bối cảnh này, Hoa Kỳ đã đề nghị tái đàm phán thỏa thuận. Nhưng ông Duterte tìm cách cản trở tối đa. Đối với nguyên thủ Philippines, không có chuyện chọc giận Bắc Kinh và có nguy cơ dẫn đến một cuộc xâm chiếm phía bắc Philippines từ Trung Quốc. Biển Hoa Đông : Vùng xám Nhìn sang Biển Hoa Đông, cách nay vài năm, căng thẳng giữa Nhật Bản và Trung Quốc tưởng chừng đi đến một cuộc xung đột lớn. Việc chính quyền Tokyo mua lại quần đảo Senkaku – mà Bắc Kinh gọi là Điếu Ngư và có đòi hỏi chủ quyền – nhằm ngăn cản Shintaro Ishihara, thị trưởng Tokyo mang tư tưởng chủ nghĩa dân tộc mua lại quần đảo, đã làm cho mối quan hệ với Bắc Kinh trở nên xấu đi. Từ đó, Trung Quốc không ngừng đưa tầu chiến xâm nhập vùng lãnh hải này và dẫn đến nhiều vụ chạm trán may thay không để lại các hậu quả. Đỉnh điểm căng thẳng là năm 2013. Hiện tại, tuy đã giảm hẳn nhưng các cuộc xâm nhập vẫn còn tiếp diễn. Giả như xung đột xảy ra, Hoa Kỳ sẽ có phản ứng ra sao ? Theo đánh giá của ông Mathieu Duchâtel, mọi việc ở vùng biển này rõ ràng hơn ở những nơi khác : Hoa Kỳ công nhận quần đảo có tranh chấp là một phần lãnh thổ không thể tách rời của Nhật Bản. Một hành động gây hấn của Trung Quốc sẽ tức thì kích hoạt Hiệp ước Phòng thủ Hỗ tương Mỹ - Nhật. « Nguy cơ xảy ra sự cố giữa Mỹ và Trung Quốc ở biển Hoa Đông hiện nay là rất thấp. Khả năng răn đe của Nhật Bản là khả tín, dù rằng các cuộc xâm nhập của Trung Quốc vào vùng 12 hải lý ở quần đảo Senkaku/Điếu Ngư là một "thách thức vùng xám » khó kiểm soát vì đó là những lực lượng tuần duyên chứ không phải là hải quân Trung Quốc. Thế răn đe của Nhật Bản đã được củng cố thêm do lập trường rõ ràng của Mỹ trong việc bảo đảm an ninh, được áp dụng cho cả quần đảo Senkaku. Chuyện đi lại của hải quân và không quân Trung Quốc tại eo biển Miyako ở giai đoạn này mới chỉ là một chủ đề song phương Trung – Nhật. Nếu so với Biển Đông, trường hợp biển Hoa Đông cho thấy rõ Trung Quốc ít dám mạo hiểm hơn khi mối tương quan lực lượng rõ ràng là bất lợi cho Trung Quốc. Đây chính là trường hợp liên minh Mỹ - Nhật ».

In this week’s episode we look at women in the world of espionage and discover that far from the bubbly Bond girls we’re used to, women have shaped intelligence world and can be as badass as the best of them. Running resistance cells, rescuing downed pilots, skiing over mountains into enemy territory, nothing was too hard for these femme fatales. From Mata Hari to Avril Haines it becomes pretty clear that behind every man in intelligence there is likely a woman who showed him how it’s done. A cracker of an episode!

Ben and Max speak with peace activist David Swanson about the US wars coming home: from the prolonged military occupation of Washington, DC to the "liberal interventionist" hawks in the Joe Biden administration, including Antony Blinken, Samantha Power, Lloyd Austin, and Avril Haines.

Former CIA agent (counter terror chief in Pakistan), torture whistle blower, and friend of the show, John Kiriakou (https://sputniknews.com/authors/john_kiriakou/) discusses Avril Haines, and the rest of the Biden war hawk cabinet appointments. We also get into U.S. foreign policy moving forward, which seems to be the same foreign policy as before. From Syria to Venezuela and more surveillance coming, it does not look good. John Kiriakou is also a well-known author. His books include, the Reluctant Spy, the Convenient Terrorist and Doing Time Like a Spy.

Avril Haines, the director of National Intelligence, says the DNI must work in a way that is "ethical, is wise, is lawful and effective." What does her work supporting the Obama administration's drone program say about what she thinks is ethical and effective? Rita Siemion and Chris Whipple join Meghna Chakrabarti.

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to UNRWA Director in Gaza Matthias Schmale. He discusses what the Joe Biden presidency will mean for Palestine and its illegal occupation by Israel, whether US funding for the UNRWA will return, accusations of anti-Semitism and Israeli allegations that the UNRWA ‘perpetuates refugees,’ recent Israeli airstrikes and land incursion into Gaza, and much more! Finally, we speak to Retired Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer about what Joe Biden’s foreign policy is likely to look like. He discusses Biden’s picks for top positions such as Antony Blinken and Avril Haines, Donald Trump’s caution with deploying troops, and why the Biden administration may not share the same hesitancy, why the it likely hasn’t learned from the Libyan war or the war in Syria, and much more!

À 51 ans, Avril Haines est devenue la première femme à occuper le prestigieux poste de directrice du renseignement national américain.

The day before last week's inauguration of President Joe Biden, four of the Biden administration's core national security nominees appeared before various Senate committees for their confirmation hearings. Avril Haines, Biden's nominee for Director of National Intelligence, appeared before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence; Alejandro Mayorkas, the nominee for Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, appeared before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs; retired general Lloyd Austin, Biden's nominee to head the Defense Department, appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee; and Antony Blinken, Biden's nominee for Secretary of State, appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The hearings included a whole lot of performative partisan flattery and outrage, but they also provided a snapshot of the Biden administration's national security priorities. We cut out all of the nonsense, all of the unnecessary information and the duplicative questions to leave you only the most interesting questions and answers.

On the last news podcast of the week, we try to keep up with President Biden as he wastes no time implementing his "wartime strategy" against COVID. We cover what his new rules regarding air travel could mean for both passengers and flight attendants, as well as the safety of traveling on a plane these days.Then, I take a look at the temporary ban on drilling for oil on federal land or in federal waters, the confirmation of Avril Haines to the Director of National Intelligence position, and the impending nomination of retired Army General Lloyd Austin (who has officially been confirmed by the Senate since I recorded this). Lastly, I talk about what our good friend, Josh Hawley, has been up to.SPECIAL OFFER: use code "BYEDON" for $4.59 your purchase from the Quick News Daily store on Teespring!

In this episode of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Sean Michael Love, journalist with Black House News, to discuss the impact of the 'occupation' of Capitol Hill by the National Guard amid the inauguration of Joe Biden, how the military checkpoints are affecting the city's most vulnerable populations, and and how local anti-police brutality organizers are stepping in to help.In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Brian Concannon, human rights lawyer and Executive Director of Project Blueprint, to discuss his new article in Haiti Liberte, "Capitol Riots Force a Reckoning with Violent U.S.-led Coups Abroad" and the parallels between the U.S.-backed coup in Haiti and the attempted gfascist insurrection at the Capitol building.In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Abdul Rahman with People's Dispatch to discuss the growing protests against harsh lockdowns and police brutality in Tunisia, the aggressive response by police, and what the situation reveals about the so-called "Arab Spring."Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Ben Norton, Assistant Editor of the Grayzone, and the Producer and Co-host of the Moderate Rebels podcast the Senate's confirmation of Avril Haines, Biden's pick for director of national intelligence, why Biden's recognition of Juan Guaido as Venezuela's president shows imperialism is a bipartisan affair, and how Biden's get-tough-on-Russia shtick undermines attempts to portray him as less bellicose than Trump.

President Biden urged Americans to end what he called an "uncivil war," and he was blunt about the problems wrapped up in it. His first act as president was holding a moment of silence for the more than 400,000 people in the U.S. who have died from COVID-19. The new president got straight to work in a partially revamped Oval Office, signing a series of executive orders and actions. Mr. Biden is expected to sign ten more today as part of an aggressive new effort to control the pandemic. The Senate, now controlled by Democrats, confirmed the first of President Biden's cabinet nominees last night. Avril Haines will be the new Director of National Intelligence, the first woman ever appointed to that post. Yesterday, U.S. officials reported another 4,200 coronavirus deaths. Efforts to slow the spread are starting to hit a wall, with some states running out of vaccine doses.

President-elect Joe Biden’s choice for the top U.S. intelligence job, Avril Haines, on Tuesday said the United States should take an aggressive stance toward the threat posed by the aggressive and assertive China that it faces today.Biden’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence (DNI) also said she thought it would be some time before Tehran returned to strict compliance with the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and that the Democratic Biden administration might itself return to the agreement, which outgoing Republican President Donald Trump abandoned in 2018.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday explicitly blamed President Donald Trump for the deadly riot at the Capitol, saying the mob was “fed lies” and that the president and others “provoked” those intent on overturning Democrat Joe Biden’s election.Ahead of Trump's historic second impeachment trial, McConnell's remarks were his most severe and public rebuke of the outgoing president. The GOP leader is setting a tone as Republicans weigh whether to convict Trump on the impeachment charge that will soon be sent over from the House: “incitement of insurrection.”“The mob was fed lies," McConnell said. “They were provoked by the president and other powerful people, and they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government which they did not like.”The Republican leader vowed a “safe and successful” inauguration of Biden on Wednesday at the Capitol, where final preparations were underway amid heavy security.Trump's last full day in office Tuesday was also senators’ first day back since the deadly Capitol siege and since the House voted to impeach him for his role in the riots — an unparalleled time of transition as the Senate prepares for the second impeachment trial in two years and presses ahead with the confirmation of Biden's Cabinet.Three new Democratic senators-elect are set to be sworn into office Wednesday shortly after Biden's inauguration, giving the Democrats the barest majority, a 50-50 Senate chamber. The new vice president, Kamala Harris, will swear them in and serve as an eventual tie-breaking vote.The Democrats, led by Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, will take charge of the Senate as they launch a trial to hold the defeated president responsible for the siege, while also quickly confirming Biden’s Cabinet and being asked to consider passage of a sweeping new $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill.“The inauguration of a new president and the start of a new administration always brings a flurry of activity to our nation’s government,” Schumer said in remarks on the Senate floor Tuesday morning. “But rarely has so much piled up for the Senate as during this particular transition.”Making the case for Trump's conviction, Schumer said the Senate needs to set a precedent that the “severest offense ever committed by a president would be met by the severest remedy provided by the Constitution — impeachment,” and disbarment from future office.McConnell and Schumer conferred later Tuesday about how to organize the evenly divided chamber and how to balance the trial with other business. Leaving a meeting with the Republican leader, Schumer would only say the two had "discussed a whole lot of issues.”Similarly, McConnell told reporters the two had a “good meeting” but offered no details.Five of Biden's nominees had committee hearings Tuesday as the Senate prepared for swift confirmation of some as soon as the president-elect takes office, as is often done particularly for the White House’s national security team. Many noted the harrowing events at the Capitol on Jan. 6.Biden’s nominee for secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, vowed to get to the bottom of the “horrifying” siege. The nominee for Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, testified of her own “eerie” feeling coming to the Capitol complex after “how truly disturbing it was” to see the attack on the building unfold.The start of the new session of Congress was also forcing lawmakers to come to terms with the post-Trump era, a transfer of power that Trump’s mob of supporters tried to prevent after he urged them to storm the Capitol as Congress was tallying the Electoral College vote confirming Biden’s election.Seven Republican senators led by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., tried to overturn Biden’s election during the Electoral College tally. Cruz was presiding over the Senate Tuesday while McConnell delivered his b...

John Whitehead, president of the Rutherford Institute and author of "Battlefield America: The War on the American People," joins us to discuss the current perilous situation in the US. In his latest article, Whitehead argues that America has been reduced to "a violent mob. A nation on the brink of martial law. A populace under house arrest. A techno-corporate state wielding its power to immobilize huge swaths of the country. And a Constitution in tatters."Marjorie Cohn, professor of law at the Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, California, and a former president of the National Lawyers Guild, joins us to discuss the state of the impeachment moves in Congress. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is caught between a cadre of angry donors and a base that still supports US President Donald Trump. McConnell released a public statement Wednesday in which he said, “While the press has been full of speculation, I have not made a final decision on how I will vote, and I intend to listen to the legal arguments when they are presented to the Senate.”Jim Kavanagh, writer at The Polemicist and CounterPunch, joins us to discuss the actions of big tech companies after last week's Capitol protests. The last week has been a demonstration of the incredible power of such firms. While these companies argue that they are protecting American democracy, we recall that in 2009 Twitter postponed scheduled platform maintenance so that its platform would be available to protesters in Iran that were using it to coordinate actions to destabilize the government.Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector in Iraq, returns to discuss a report that Iran is producing equipment at a facility in Isfahan aimed at creating uranium metal. This is now being presented as a proliferation threat, with the Wall Street Journal arguing that “uranium metal can be used to construct the core of a nuclear weapon.” However, the uranium metal that the facility would produce would only be 20% enriched. In order to create a weapon, Iran would have to further enrich that uranium to 90% purity.Julie Hurwitz, civil rights attorney and partner at the law firm Goodman, Hurwitz and James, joins us to discuss the latest on the Flint water crisis. Former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has been charged with two misdemeanor counts of willful neglect of duty for his role in the crisis that polluted Flint's water with lead. These charges come "in the wake of a report indicating Snyder was aware of a Legionnaires' disease outbreak linked to the emergency months before he acknowledged it in public," Common Dreams reported Thursday.Laith Marouf, broadcaster and journalist based in Beirut, Lebanon, joins us to talk about Israel's opposition to a reinstatement of the Iran nuclear deal. Israeli Likud Minister Tzachi Hanegbi stated on Wednesday that he does not expect Trump to impose military action on Iran. He also said that Israel may initiate military strikes against the Islamic Republic if US President-elect Joe Biden elects to return to the nuclear deal. Also, Israel has increased military strikes against Syria, killing scores of Syrian personnel over the last few days.Chris Sorensen joins us to discuss his latest book, "Understanding the War Industry." We also discuss how Wall Street profits from war, and how censorship from big tech corporations in the aftermath of the Capitol riot is the height of hypocrisy because those corporations profit by selling to the most violent institution, the US military.Dan Lazare, investigative journalist and author of "The Velvet Coup," joins us to discuss the nomination of Samantha Power to head the US Agency for International Development (USAID). Biden's selection of a number of notorious war hawks for his administration, including Power, Antony Blinken and Avril Haines, has many international security analysts concerned that a major military conflict may be in the offing. Additionally, Kurt Campbell, a key architect of former US President Barack Obama's Asia “pivot,” will become the coordinator for Indo-Pacific affairs on the National Security Council as a deputy to Jake Sullivan, Biden's pick for national security adviser.

Marcy Winograd, Medea Benjamin put pressure on Biden’s objectionable picks for national security and foreign policy; Robert Brenner on whither the Republicans after Trump? Whither the Democrats with Biden? CODEPINK's Marcy Winograd and Medea Benjamin are working on blocking Biden’s most objectionable national security and foreign policy nominees, like China hawk Michele Flournoy for Secretary of Defense, and torture defender Mike Morrel for CIA. They are now concentrating on Avril Haines, tainted by Drones and torture. We also get their assessment of the present moment and their mobilizing and organizing campaign plans. UCLA Economic Historian Robert Brenner takes a deeper look at the Republican Party after Trump’s efforts to overturn the election, and the storming of the Capitol Building on January 6. While many posit a fracturing of the Republican Party post-Trump, Brenner says that Trump and the Trumpistas define the Party, notwithstanding a small number of defections. So whither the Republicans and MAGA? And what does this mean for the Democratic Party after its stunning success in the election – and especially in Georgia? The Democratic Party now has a huge opening to take advantage of the multiple crises we face in this moment, but will they? We get Brenner’s take.

Dr. Yolandra Hancock, board-certified pediatrician and obesity medicine specialist, returns to The Critical Hour to update us on the latest coronavirus news. The US patient who has contracted the new virus variant, a Colorado man in his 20s, is now in isolation in the state's Elbert County. While the variant is believed to spread more easily, experts say there's no evidence that it causes more severe sickness. Scientists familiar with the case argue that the man's lack of a recent travel history indicates that this is likely not an isolated case. John Burris, civil rights attorney, joins us to discuss the recent Nashville, Tennessee, bombing. Pamela Perry, the girlfriend of deceased bombing suspect Anthony Warner, reported to authorities over a year ago that Warner was making bombs in his RV, according to a recent report from the Associated Press. However, police never managed to speak with Warner, nor did they inspect his RV. Also, the Louisville Metro Police Department has begun the process of firing two more of the officers who were involved in the infamous raid that resulted in the killing of Breonna Taylor.Ariel Gold, national director for antiwar organization Code Pink, joins us to discuss US arms sales. The Trump administration is apparently ending its term with massive arms sales to the Middle East. The US State Department has approved a potential sale of $4.2 billion worth of weapons to Kuwait and another potential deal for $290 million in bombs to Saudi Arabia, according to the Pentagon. The Saudi deal follows another deal for $478 million in arms for which the State Department intends to issue a license, Bloomberg reported last week. International security experts argue that the massive influx of arms into the region will contribute to instability and continued conflict.Medea Benjamin, co-founder Code Pink, returns to The Critical Hour to discuss her recent MintPress News article on Avril Haines, US President-elect Joe Biden's nominee for director of national intelligence. Benjamin argues, "This unassuming spy may look and sound like your favorite college professor, but that facade masks a ruthless wolf in sheep's clothing who enabled murder by remote control and wielded a thick black pen to cover up CIA torture." The article is written on behalf of a number of progressive activist groups who are calling on the US Senate to reject Haines' nomination. Dr. Gerald Horne, professor of history at the University of Houston, author, historian and researcher, returns to discuss convicted spy Jonathan Pollard. He was allowed to travel to Israel and was greeted Wednesday as a hero by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, weeks after the Trump administration lifted parole restrictions that kept Pollard from going abroad. In the 1980s, Pollard stole and sold top-secret US government documents to Israel while he was working as a US Navy intelligence analyst.Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector in Iraq, returns to discuss his latest article about the recent hack of US government websites, which many media outlets have blamed on Russia without concrete evidence. He gives a simplified yet highly technical overview of the cyberattack and then goes on to explain the current environment, including some history of cyber confrontations between the US and Russia. Ritter argues that, regardless of where the hack originated, it was pure intelligence-gathering and did not seem to include any offensive or destructive actions. He maintains that the claims of a Pearl Harbor level-attack are hyperbolic and designed for domestic consumption. James Carey, editor and co-owner of Geopolitics Alert, joins us to discuss Iran. A spokesperson for Netanyahu's office has announced that Israel is unequivocally opposed to the US returning to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear agreement with Iran. The official claimed that the “deal gave Iran a highway paved with gold to build the critical infrastructure for an entire arsenal of nuclear bombs" but provided no details or facts to support the claim. Also, Alan MacLeod penned a recent article in which he argues that the world ends 2020 exactly as it began: with the looming threat of war between the US and Iran.Niko House, political activist, independent journalist and podcaster, returns to The Critical Hour to discuss the ongoing feud in the Democratic Party. YouTube Star Jimmy Dore ignited a firestorm when he suggested that Democrats should use their votes for speaker of the House as bargaining chips to get a floor vote on Medicare for All. Meanwhile, in an ominous sign for mainstream Democrats, incoming Reps. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and Cori Bush (D-MO) are refusing to say whether they will support House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) bid to lead the party in 2021.

Dr. Jack Rasmus, professor in the Economics and Politics Departments at St. Mary's College of California, joins us to discuss the bipartisan COVID-19 relief package approved by the US Congress on Monday. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) described it as "a strong, strong shot in the arm to get things going." Meanwhile, independent pundits and social media critics are less than impressed by the package, with one Twitter user describing it as a "slap in the face" to ordinary Americans.Medea Benjamin, co-founder of anti-war organization Code Pink, returns to The Critical Hour to discuss the Biden administration's makeup. A group of human rights activists has issued an open letter imploring US President-elect Joe Biden not to nominate Michael Morell for the post of CIA director and saying the Senate should not confirm Avril Haines as director of national intelligence. Signatories include such notable figures as CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou and retired Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, a US Army whistleblower.Oscar Chacon, co‐founder and executive director of Alianza Americas; and Carlos Castaneda, immigration lawyer, come together to discuss the fate of the "dreamers" who would be protected under the proposed Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act. A US judge in Texas will hear arguments on Tuesday in a lawsuit that could end the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which provides protection from deportation to undocumented immigrants who were brought to the US as minors.Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector in Iraq, joins us to discuss the possibility of the Biden administration returning the US to the Iran nuclear deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. European Union leaders are backing the proposal that Biden return to the deal in its original form and forego any further deliberation, a position Iran supports. Germany, France and the UK, along with fellow accord signatories Russia and China, are supportive of the US returning to the agreement.David Schultz, professor at the Department of Political Science at Hamline University and author of "Presidential Swing States: Why Only Ten Matter," joins us to discuss reports that the Trump administration is considering granting legal immunity to Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman in connection with an alleged assassination plot against a former Saudi intelligence officer, which could also protect the prince from legal actions related to the murder of former Washington Post writer Jamal Khashoggi. Additionally, he discusses US Attorney General Bill Barr's position that no special counsel will be needed to review allegations of election fraud or the Hunter Biden case.Dan Lazare, investigative journalist and author of "The Velvet Coup," joins us to talk about a recent report from The Intercept saying that CIA-trained death squads in Afghanistan have executed children as young as eight years old. The article says, "Residents from four districts in Wardak — Nerkh, Chak, Sayedabad and Daymirdad — spoke of a string of massacres, executions, mutilations, forced disappearances, attacks on medical facilities and airstrikes targeting structures known to house civilians." Dan Kovalik, lawyer, professor and author, joins us to discuss US regime-change activities in Nicaragua. The Trump administration has instituted new sanctions against officials in the Nicaraguan government, making the usual claims of anti-democratic actions. In August, The Grayzone reported on a document that allegedly detailed a plot by the US government to overthrow the democratically elected government of President Daniel Ortega.Mark Sleboda, Moscow-based international relations and security analyst, returns to discuss new US sanctions against Russian and Chinese firms allegedly tied to military activities. Also, the EU previously levied sanctions against several Russians over their alleged ties to the poisoning of Alexei Navalny. The Russian government is retaliating by expanding the list of EU officials who are prohibited from entering Russia.

#Biden2020 #MindfulSkeptics #BoyceLittlefield On November 23, 2020, President-elect Joe Biden announced his nomination of Haines to serve as Director of National Intelligence in the Biden cabinet, which would make her the first woman to hold this position. Avril Danica Haines (born August 29, 1969) is an American lawyer and former government official who served as the White House Deputy National Security Advisor in the Obama administration. She previously served as Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, the first woman to hold this position. Prior to her appointment to the CIA, she served as Deputy Counsel to the President for National Security Affairs in the Office of White House Counsel. She replaced Tony Blinken as White House Deputy National Security Advisor, a position she held until the end of the Obama administration. . #YangGang #Trump2020 #JanetYellen

"What [Biden is] trying to do is get people who know how to run the government, it's been mismanaged for four years."Taking a look at Joe Biden's picks so far for cabinet positions, and how they're likely to shape policy and foreign relations going forward. The transition preceding in earnest, yet it seems the Trump administration can't resist some more 'mischief' on the way out with Mike Pompeo reportedly in secret talks with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Also talking climate policy, a pardon for Michael Flynn, Georgia, and Thanksgiving - what are we most thankful for?

United States President-elect Joe Biden is making it clear that his presidency will not be a "third Obama term." He made those statements in his first interview as president-elect with NBC's Lester Holt, Tuesday night. Biden went onto say that it's a different world since the Obama Administration and that President Donald Trump changed the landscape saying in part: "It's become America first. America Alone." The President-elect also formally announced new members of his National Security Team on Tuesday. His members include: John Kerry as Special Presidential Envoy for climate, Jake Sullivan as National Security Adviser and Avril Haines for Director of National Intelligence. Biden praised his nominees and their diverse backgrounds. Haines is a physicist and a pilot who also knows judo. The number of people dying from Covid-19 is rising. The climbing trend continued on Tuesday with 15 days of record hospitalizations and more than 1800 people reported dead. Dr. Anthony Fauci says he's had his first conversation with President-elect Biden's team. Biden says, the hope is that the Trump Administration will be able to start distributing the vaccine before Biden takes the oath of office in January. Millions of people are going against the CDC's guidelines and traveling for Thanksgiving. There are at least 6900 flights scheduled for Thursday.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

President-elect Joe Biden has announced his nominees for his top national security team. Some of the names include Tony Blinken for Secretary of State, Alejandro Mayorkas for DHS Secretary, Avril Haines for Director of National Intelligence, and John Kerry as climate envoy. Carol Morello, diplomatic correspondent at the Washington Post, joins us for more on who they are and how these picks have often pushed for policies that Trump used to fuel his rise. Next, China has successfully launched its most ambitious mission to the Moon yet. It is a quick ‘grab and go' mission to bring back some lunar rocks and dirt. If they succeed it will be the first time since 1976 that we will have fresh moon rocks back here on earth. It is a complicated process for the mission and they hope to be back in about 23 days. Loren Grush, senior science writer at The Verge, joins us for more on the Chinese Moon mission. Finally, retailers are preparing for another surge of shoppers as we are seeing rising coronavirus cases and in some areas, new rounds of lockdowns. All the while, essential workers continue to go in to work and put their health at risk. Hazard pay incentives that we saw at the beginning of the pandemic have not come back and some companies don't plan on bringing it back. Michael Corkery, business reporter at the NY Times, joins us for more on the lack of coronavirus hazard pay.

Right on time. It's a Trump style concession and it's hardly satisfying for those who wanted to see him lose. I'll share my take on the bigger strategy at play by Trump.
