Podcasts about Church Committee

Fifty years ago, a government investigation led by US senator Frank Church uncovered some of the darkest state secrets of the twentieth century. The Church Committee confirmed the nation's worst fears about the unchecked power of its intelligence agencies: at the FBI, surveillance campaigns against civil rights leaders and clandestine attempts to disrupt antiwar protests; at the CIA, assassination plots against foreign heads of state, experiments with toxic substances and illegal drugs, and covert partnerships with the Mafia. The Church Committee's findings were so explosive that key members found themselves on the watch lists of the very government agencies they were investigating. Three witnesses who cooperated with the inquiry were murdered. Amid the creep of digital surveillance and the upheavals of social protest, this accessible volume The Church Committee Report: Revelations from the Bombshell 1970s Investigation into the National Security State (W. W. Norton & Co, 2026), containing the most harrowing revelations of the Church Committee investigation, sheds valuable light on some of today's most urgent concerns. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast No. 768! This question was sent by our YouTube organist friend Rien Schalkwijk and he writes:Last year I offered a befriended church a Christmas organ concert — completely free. A festive gesture, I thought. It was politely declined, as the church committee felt it would be “too much work” for the volunteers. Quite what sort of work a solo organ recital creates remains one of the unresolved mysteries of the season. But, a week ago, I discovered the same church had organised a Christmas concert with a choir and a pianist, complete with refreshments and a heated church. Clearly, some musical formats are more theologically efficient than others.Here you will find all my scores:https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/en/category/arrangeme/?q=Secrets+of+Organ+Playing&aff_id=454957

For most Americans, and certainly for baby boomers, we remember the first major exposé before Congress during the Church Committee hearings, when William Colby, the head of the CIA admitted under oath that the agency had its tentacles in much of the American mainstream media and promulgated bogus stories for citizens to consume.  On the second half of the program Gary pays tribute to Dr. Peter Duesberg who is a subject in the Gary Null documentary 'Aids the Untold Story'  

In the 1970s, Senator Frank Church, a Democrat from Idaho, stuck his neck out–unlike members of Congress today–to take on the real deep state–the FBI and CIA carrying out LSD mind-control experiments on Americans, terrorizing activists, and committing assassinations with the mafia, including against witnesses. The Church Committee Report, based on real Congressional investigations, not just performative show trials, shows us how to confront and dismantle the lawless, mass-murdering MAGA regime.  Historians Matthew Guariglia, a senior policy analyst at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and Brian Hochman, the Hubert J. Cloke Endowed Director of the American Studies Program at Georgetown University, are out with the definitive account, The Church Committee Report: Revelations from the Bombshell 1970s Investigation into the National Security State. They walk us through the decades of U.S. presidents of both major parties allowing a surveillance state to expand, running dangerous operations against the American people. The most chilling legacy is not the cartoonish villainy of poison darts and imperial assassinations, but the insidious cruelty of undermining activists. So pay attention. Don't let anyone–even a well-meaning ally–weaponize purity tests to gatekeep the Fourth American Revolution. Stopping the MAGA threat requires all of us building together in coalition. Based on the Church Committee's own findings, we know exactly what tools the FBI and CIA use to dismantle movements. They have very specific, terrifyingly effective strategies to divide and conquer We the People.  Here is what they do when they want to destroy a movement from the inside out: Snitch Jacketing: This is psychological warfare. They plant false information–maybe they leave a map or a weapon in an activist's car–specifically to make you think your friend is a police informant. They leverage paranoia to make us eat our own. Fabricated Dissent: They create fake zines, fake newsletters, and fake correspondence to manufacture feuds between groups. They want the anti-war movement fighting the labor movement so neither fights the state. The "Friendly" Infiltrator: Watch out for the guy who shows up out of nowhere with coffee and too many questions. They send plainclothes agents into our resilience communities to map our networks and identify leaders and how they operate. Entrapment: They find an "easy mark" in a group, push them toward violence, then arrest everyone for a plot the FBI invented. They manufacture terrorism. The "Suicide" Strategy: J. Edgar Hoover's FBI sent a letter to Martin Luther King Jr., threatening to expose his private life and pressuring him to kill himself. They try to break you psychologically so that you back down and disappear. According to historians Guariglia and Hochman, activists under siege were aware of the threats long before the Church Committee exposed them, and developed resilience strategies we can learn from today:  Reject the "All-Powerful" Myth: Don't give a lawless regime a bigger shadow than it actually has–that is what they want: to live inside your head. When you start believing the government is an all-knowing, all-powerful shadow monster, you are doing their work for them. Paranoia is a tool of the oppressor.  Build a Culture of Care: The only way snitch-jacketing works is if we don't know each other. Build deep, resilient relationships. When we take care of each other, their wedges don't work. Sousveillance (Watch from Below): Do not rely on police body cams; those tapes have a magical habit of being turned off when they're needed. Film everything. Control the narrative with your own evidence, eyes, and ears. Divest from Big Tech: Google, Amazon, and Apple are regime collaborators. We need to build our own infrastructure from high-tech mesh networks to low-tech zines. If you rely on the master's tools, they will shut you down, as we're seeing now with TikTok's mass-censorship under the new owners–MAGA donors, the Ellisons. Get Educated: Practice tech hygiene. Go to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and use their Surveillance Self-Defense guide. Learn how to encrypt, what to carry, and how to stay safe. We're fighting a generational struggle, but we outnumber them. As Andrea's film Mr. Jones reminds us: The truth cannot be killed. Stay safe, vigilant, and united–that is how we win.

THE SECRET NETWORK: THE SAFARI CLUB, JOHN SHAHEEN, AND DOUBLE AGENTS Colleague Craig Unger. Unger explains the infrastructure used to execute the alleged conspiracy, specifically the "Safari Club," a group of off-the-books intelligence operatives formed after the CIA was restricted by the Church Committee in the 1970s. This network allowed covert operations to bypass congressional oversight. A crucial figure identified is John Shaheen, Bill Casey's close friend and former OSS colleague, who acted as a "cutout" to insulate Casey from direct involvement. Unger reveals that the Hashim brothers, Iranian arms dealers who offered to help Carter, were actually double agents working for Casey. FBI wiretaps eventually confirmed that the Hashims communicated with Shaheen before conducting arms deals, providing a direct link between the Reagan campaign's orbit and the delay of the hostage release.

In 1973, the CIA destroyed MK ULTRA records—America's most disturbing mind-control program. They missed 20,000 files. What those documents reveal: drugging citizens without consent, “psychic driving,” black-site brothels (Operation Midnight Climax), and a death the CIA called suicide—Frank Olson—that looks like murder.In this investigation, I connect the declassified dots: Dulles → Gottlieb → Cameron, church hearings, and how modern manipulation moved from LSD and shock to algorithms and “enhanced” techniques.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop talks with Richard Easton, co-author of GPS Declassified: From Smart Bombs to Smartphones, about the remarkable history behind the Global Positioning System and its ripple effects on technology, secrecy, and innovation. They trace the story from Roger Easton's early work on time navigation and atomic clocks to the 1973 approval of the GPS program, the Cold War's influence on satellite development, and how civilian and military interests shaped its evolution. The conversation also explores selective availability, the Gulf War, and how GPS paved the way for modern mapping tools like Google Maps and Waze, as well as broader questions about information, transparency, and the future of scientific innovation. Learn more about Richard Easton's work and explore early GPS documents at gpsdeclassified.com, or pick up his book GPS Declassified: From Smart Bombs to Smartphones.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 – Stewart Alsop introduces Richard Easton, who explains the origins of GPS, its 12-hour satellite orbits, and his father Roger Easton's early time navigation work.05:00 – Discussion on atomic clocks, the hydrogen maser, and how technological skepticism drove innovation toward the modern GPS system.10:00 – Miniaturization of receivers, the rise of smartphones as GPS devices, and early mapping tools like Google Maps and Waze.15:00 – The Apollo missions' computer systems and precision landings lead back to GPS development and the 1973 approval of the joint program office.20:00 – The Gulf War's use of GPS, selective availability, and how civilian receivers became vital for soldiers and surveyors.25:00 – Secrecy in satellite programs, from GRAB and POPPY to Eisenhower's caution after the U-2 incident, and the link between intelligence and innovation.30:00 – The myth of the Korean airliner sparking civilian GPS, Reagan's policy, and the importance of declassified documents.35:00 – Cold War espionage stories like Gordievsky's defection, the rise of surveillance, and early countermeasures to GPS jamming.40:00 – Selective availability ends in 2000, sparking geocaching and civilian boom, with GPS enabling agriculture and transport.45:00 – Conversation shifts to AI, deepfakes, and the reliability of digital history.50:00 – Reflections on big science, decentralization, and innovation funding from John Foster to SpaceX and Starlink.55:00 – Universities' bureaucratic bloat, the future of research education, and Richard's praise for the University of Chicago's BASIC program.Key InsightsGPS was born from competing visions within the U.S. military. Richard Easton explains that the Navy and Air Force each had different ideas for navigation satellites in the 1960s. The Navy wanted mid-Earth orbits with autonomous atomic clocks, while the Air Force preferred ground-controlled repeaters in geostationary orbit. The eventual compromise in 1973 created the modern GPS structure—24 satellites in six constellations—which balanced accuracy, independence, and resilience.Atomic clocks made global navigation possible. Roger Easton's early insight was that improving atomic clock precision would one day enable real-time positioning. The hydrogen maser, developed in 1960, became the breakthrough technology that made GPS feasible. This innovation turned a theoretical idea into a working global system and also advanced timekeeping for scientific and financial applications.Civilian access to GPS was always intended. Contrary to popular belief, GPS wasn't a military secret turned public after the Korean airliner tragedy in 1983. Civilian receivers, such as TI's 4100 model, were already available in 1981. Reagan's 1983 announcement merely reaffirmed an existing policy that GPS would serve both military and civilian users.The Gulf War proved GPS's strategic value. During the 1991 conflict, U.S. and coalition forces used mostly civilian receivers after the Pentagon lifted “selective availability,” which intentionally degraded accuracy. GPS allowed troops to coordinate movement and strikes even during sandstorms, changing modern warfare.Secrecy and innovation were deeply intertwined. Easton recounts how classified projects like GRAB and POPPY—satellites disguised as scientific missions—laid technical groundwork for navigation systems. The crossover between secret defense projects and public science fueled breakthroughs but also obscured credit and understanding.Ending selective availability unleashed global applications. When the distortion feature was turned off in May 2000, GPS accuracy improved instantly, leading to new industries—geocaching, precision agriculture, logistics, and smartphone navigation. This marked GPS's shift from a defense tool to an everyday utility.Innovation's future may rely on decentralization. Reflecting on his father's era and today's landscape, Easton argues that bureaucratic “big science” has grown sluggish. He sees promise in smaller, independent innovators—helped by AI, cheaper satellites, and private space ventures like SpaceX—continuing the cycle of technological transformation that GPS began.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show for an incredible joint episode: MK ULTRA, ritual abuse and organized abuse survivors, overcomers, thrivers, and badasses, survivor and anti-child trafficking advocates, public whistleblowers, podcasters, and two of my favorite humans in the entire world: Dr. Juliette Engel and Lynne Scott HaggermanJuliette, born in 1955 to CIA- and NSA-connected parents, endured electroshock, LSD, and "Sex Magick" rituals in facilities tied to Disney and Stanford. Escaping at sixteen, she became a radiologist, founded the MiraMed Institute, and launched the Angel Coalition, rescuing thousands from trafficking while exposing elite cover-ups in her memoir, Sparky: Surviving Sex Magick. Lynne, trafficked from birth to age five, survived medical torture, satanic rituals in university tunnels, trafficking by her own family to neighborhood perpetrators, and horrific child auctions. Guided by faith, she built a career as an HR consultant and marathoner, founding QGRIT to heal survivors through her podcast and wellness advocacy, amplifying truths about organized child abuse and elite networks.Juliette and Lynne's testimonies converge like rivers into a storm-swept sea: both women, as infants thrust into CIA-sponsored child slavery, navigated underground facilities rife with ritual abuse and mind control. Universities - which should serve as safe spaces for all - served as above-ground facades for below-ground atrocities, from electroshock and drug-induced fragmentation to exploitation by pedophilic infiltrators in government and entertainment. Juliette's "Sex Magick" programming parallels Lynne's adrenochrome rituals, both rooted in MK ULTRA's goal of creating programmable mind-controlled slaves through trauma. And in their escapes - Juliette's bold teenage rebellion, Lynne's faith-fueled breakthrough - they reclaimed narratives long scripted by shadowy handlers, turning suppressed screams into public indictments that challenge the 1975 Church Committee revelations and demand deeper accountability.On today's episode, they are going to be discussing a few very important topics that truly need greater societal understanding and a call to action including a discussion around Manchurian Candidates, how these MK ULTRA mind control slaves can be programmed to carry out heinous crimes on the government's behalf including things like political and mass shootings, the trans agenda and it's relationship to MK ULTRA and the horrific news headlines that bombard us daily, and so much more. In a world still grappling with hidden predators, their work whispers a universal rallying cry: Rise. Reclaim. Radiate. For in their unbreakable spirits, we see the dawn of justice - not as distant hope, but as the spark within us all, ready to burn away the dark.RECOMMENDED READING - MK ULTRA DOCS: https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/dnsa-intelligence/2024-12-23/cia-behavior-control-experiments-focus-new-scholarlyCONNECT TO LYNNE: Website: https://qgrit.org/YouTube: @LynneScottHaggerman  Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheLynneScottHaggermanShow?e9s=src_v1_saX: https://x.com/haggerman91741CONNECT WITH JULIETTE: Website: https://julietteengel.com/CONNECT WITH EMMA / THE IMAGINATION: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: httSupport the show

Red Wemette : "Nobody Cares and What I did About It! The Red Wemette Story of the Chicago Outfit"Author of three books on CIA operations, Valentine's research into CIA activities began when CIA Director William Colby gave him free access to interview CIA officials who had been involved in various aspects of the Phoenix program in South Vietnam. It was a permission Colby was to regret. The CIA would rescind it, making every effort to impede publication of The Phoenix Program, which documented the CIA's elaborate system of population surveillance, control, entrapment, imprisonment, torture and assassination in Vietnam.While researching Phoenix, Valentine learned that the CIA allowed opium and heroin to flow from its secret bases in Laos, to generals and politicians on its payroll in South Vietnam. His investigations into this illegal activity focused on the CIA's relationship with the federal drugs agencies mandated by Congress to stop illegal drugs from entering the United States. Based on interviews with senior officials, Valentine wrote two subsequent books, The Strength of the Wolf and The Strength of the Pack, showing how the CIA infiltrated federal drug law enforcement agencies and commandeered their executive management, intelligence and foreign operations staffs in order to ensure that the flow of drugs continues unimpeded to traffickers and foreign officials in its employ.Ultimately, portions of his research materials would be archived at the National Security Archive, Texas Tech University's Vietnam Center, and John Jay College.This book includes excerpts from the above titles along with subsequent articles and transcripts of interviews on a range of current topics, with a view to shedding light on the systemic dimensions of the CIA's ongoing illegal and extra-legal activities. These terrorism and drug law enforcement articles and interviews illustrate how the CIA's activities impact social and political movements abroad and in the United States.A common theme is the CIA's ability to deceive and propagandize the American public through its impenetrable government-sanctioned shield of official secrecy and plausible deniability.Though investigated by the Church Committee in 1975, CIA praxis then continues to inform CIA praxis now. Valentine tracks its steady infiltration into practices targeting the last population to be subjected to the exigencies of the American empire: the American people.https://amzn.to/4nO5VY2Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

MK-Ultra was a top-secret CIA program that began in the early 1950s and officially ended in the 1970s. Its goal was to develop mind control techniques for use in interrogations and espionage, particularly during the Cold War. Under MK-Ultra, the CIA conducted unethical experiments on unwitting individuals, often involving LSD, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, electroshock therapy, and other methods meant to manipulate mental states. Many of the test subjects—ranging from prisoners and hospital patients to everyday citizens—were not informed or did not consent. The project came to light in the 1970s through congressional investigations, most notably the Church Committee, revealing widespread abuses and prompting tighter oversight of intelligence agencies. Despite public disclosures, much about MK-Ultra remains unknown, as many documents were destroyed by the CIA in 1973.

A never-before-released journal sheds light on longstanding influence by Church leaders in Utah politics.

This episode features a presentation based on my recent article, “James Angleton, Mossad, the Syndicate, and the CIA's 'Cuban Business'.” About a year ago I discovered a page in James Angleton's 1975 Church Committee testimony that the CIA tried to hide by deleting in subsequent releases. The 86ed page—which happened to be page 86—shows that CIA counterintelligence chief James Angleton did not tell CIA director John McCone that, in order to bypass the entire CIA, Angleton was using a Mossad officer as an operational agent for anti-Castro operations in Cuba. The outcome was that there was very little paper trail at the Agency when it came to the details of Angleton's mobbed-up “Cuban business”—especially the assassination apparatus which many JFK assassination researchers believe was later redirected at President Kennedy.   To get access to the complete archive of the best historical research on deep political events and the tripartite state, subscribe to the American Exception podcast on Patreon at https://patreon.com/americanexception   Special thanks to: Dana Chavarria, production Casey Moore, graphics Michelle Boley, animated intro Mock Orange, music

Valentine tracks its steady infiltration into practices targeting the last population to be subjected to the exigencies of the American empire: the American people.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

CIA contract pilot William "Tosh" Plumlee is back—this time with his eyewitness account from the South Knoll of Dealey Plaza, in Dallas on November 22rd, 1963. Present as part of a Pentagon abort team, Tosh counted five shots, coming from at least two directions, with the fatal headshot coming from the South Knoll parking lot. Tosh drew a map of the events as he saw them, and shared his eyewitness account under sworn testimony to the FBI, the Church Committee, the House Select Committee on Assassinations and others. Over the years, Tosh has received visits from anonymous 'agents' warning him to keep quiet. Now he's telling his story to HBH.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

Darrell Castle talks about the Senate confirmation hearings for Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as the two nominees represent the last line of defense against the Pharmaceutical and permanent war parties and therefore, they will pull out all stops to defeat them. Transcription / Notes PERMANENT WASHINGTON FEARS AND HATES TULSI AND RFK, JR. Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 31st day of January in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about the Senate confirmation hearings for Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services. These two nominees represent the last line of defense for the Pharmaceutical and permanent war parties and therefore, they will pull out all stops to defeat them. Once again I will begin this report with a quote from Dennis Kucinich: “Congresswoman Gabbard is uniquely qualified for this role. As a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve, she has served our nation with distinction since 2002, earning Top Secret clearance through the trust of the Department of Defense, her executive officers, and peers. There are few individuals as prepared, as experienced, and as committed to the national interest as Lt. Col. Tulsi Gabbard. Her leadership has consistently demonstrated sound judgment, ethical standards, and an unwavering commitment to the constitution of the United States.” Well, that explains the problem for Tulsi. Not many of those who sit in judgment of her share that commitment to ethical standards, and especially the Constitution that Mr. Kucinich tells us that Tulsi has and none of them are worthy of her. This report had to be recorded before the vote but I watched her opening statement and it was epic. She would be one of the best ever if she could just be allowed to serve. I think Bobbie Kennedy will be able to squeak by all those prostitutes the pharmaceutical industry has sent to block his confirmation, but I am very worried about Tulsi and she is the most important name on the list. I wonder why they hate and fear her more than all the other nominees. What fearful thing does she represent to them and their sponsors, but then the answer came to me. This administration tells us that it is going to be about full transparency and it fulfilled that pledge at least partially by announcing that the classified files on JFK, RFK, and MLK will be declassified and released. In keeping with the idea of transparency, 2025 is the 50th anniversary of what came to be known as the Church Committee. The formal name of the Church Committee was the United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities. It was chaired by Senator Frank Church a Democrat from Idaho, thus the name that stuck. Things started coming to light in the early 1970's about what the U.S. intelligence apparatus might be doing to its own citizens. These leaks were at a time of growing dissatisfaction with the Vietnam War and Senator Church was an outspoken critic of the war. The New York Times published an article by Seymour Hersh detailing operations conducted by the C.I.A. including assassinations of foreign leaders as well as operations against citizens of the U.S. based on their political views. Senator Church put his committee together to investigate and 1975 became known in media circles as the year of intelligence. Many things were discovered by the committee and these were things of an extremely embarrassing and disturbing nature. The things that Senator Church and his committee uncovered revealed to the American people that in many ways the elite who ran this country were at least as bad as the elite who ran all the other countries. It would be hard to exaggerate the degree of scum this committee uncovered living in what some have come to refer to as Permanent Washington. They infest the woodwork and live administration aft...

The United States' Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) made numerous unsuccessful attempts to assassinate Cuban leader Fidel Castro. There were also attempts by Cuban exiles, sometimes in cooperation with the CIA. The 1975 Church Committee claimed eight proven CIA assassination attempts between 1960 and 1965. In 1976, President Gerald Ford issued an Executive Order banning political assassinations. In 2006, Fabián Escalante, former chief of Cuba's intelligence, stated that there had been 634 assassination schemes or attempts. The last known plot to assassinate Castro was by Cuban exiles in 2000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_assassination_attempts_on_Fidel_Castro

Join Professor Jeffrey Sachs in his conversation with authors James and Tom Risen on their important, new book The Last Honest Man, a gripping biography of Idaho Senator, Frank Church.  The Risens describe the remarkable events of 1975, when Senator Church almost single-handedly took on the CIA and FBI, to hold them accountable for serious crimes that they had committed, including the CIA's assassination plots and the CIA's and FBI's illegal surveillance of American citizens. This is an inspiring story of how one idealistic Senator battled the powerful and secretive US security state and temporarily brought it under public scrutiny.  Alas, it is also a profound warning for our own time - as the 1975 Church Committee was the last time in half a century that the CIA has been thoroughly investigated. Tune in for a fascinating discussion of pivotal events 50 years ago and their profound relevance for today. The Book Club with Jeffrey Sachs is brought to you by the SDG Academy, the flagship education initiative of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

In the age of YouTube, it feels like there's a new conspiracy every day. Some of them are ol' chestnuts - love how we faked the moon landing that one time, right? Some of them pop up in the seemingly most random places, like Taylor Swift's “secret plan” to use her popularity to boost Joe Biden's approval rating (That's just downright silly. We all know it must have been Travis Kelce's idea, not Taylor's). But even with all the bonkers stuff we all come up with, the secret stuff the government actually does is sometimes even crazier. And in the 1970s, a group of senators decided to find out how deep that rabbit hole of government overreach went.Ray teaches Rob and Daniel all about how Nevada senator Frank Church and a group of his colleagues banded together to unmask the government's darkest secrets; why being a target of “Project Shamrock” was the opposite of being lucky; the CIA's decision to buy up the entire global supply of LSD for use in Project “Midnight Climax”; why Sydney Gottlieb became known as the “Poisoner In Chief" of American intelligence agencies; and why the government's fears about mind control may not have actually been that outlandish, given the recent allegations of interference by foreign countries into American elections.If you like what we're doing, please support us on Patreon, or you can subscribe to our bonus content on Apple Podcasts.

It's another EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with James Risen, senior national security correspondent at The Intercept, and Thomas Risen, aerospace and airlines reporter at Cirium, to discuss their recent book The Last Honest Man: The CIA, the FBI, the Mafia, and the Kennedys—and One Senator's Fight to Save Democracy. First, Emma runs through updates on ANOTHER Fed rate raise despite cooling inflation, rising child labor, a telecom probe, Mitch McConnell's medical emergency, Niger's coup, and Hunter Biden's legal woes, before touching on Jim Cramer's telling CNBC comments on the UPS Teamsters and UAW. James and Thomas Risen then join, diving right into a background on Senator Frank Church and his political evolution into a progressive, anti-imperialist, and anti-authoritarian legend of American politics, including his outspoken opposition to the Vietnam War and the expansion of the US Intelligence community in the wake of the assassination of JFK, and eventual push for the establishment of the Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities (Church Committee). Next, the Risens explore the expansion of the US Intelligence community post-WWII, tackling the establishment of the CIA as a covert actor for US hegemony on foreign soil, putting them on track to rapidly become the international assassination juggernaut they are today, before expanding on their interaction with domestic actors, their mutually antagonistic relationship with J. Edgar Hoover's FBI, and the FBI's own relationship to political conspiracy and terrorism. After taking on the establishment of the Church Committee in the wake of Watergate, the state of disillusionment with the US government, and the revelations the Church Committee brought forward (particularly around COINTELPRO), James, Thomas, and Emma wrap up by assessing the absurdity of the GOP's attempt to frame their Congressional farce as the Church Committee 2.0. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they discuss the British-American accent dynamics in Hollywood, DeSantis' position on an RFK cabinet roll, and the Weinstein couple muses about their voyeuristic experience at a recent drag show. Lucas from Montana dives into the anti-woke hijacking of libraries, Cody from Georgia expands on today's interview and connections with JFK and the Oswalds, Newsmax comes for the White House dogs, Kowalski proposes a prudent judicial philosophical conundrum, and Adam from Rhode Island brings up Elon's active destruction of Twitter, plus, your calls and IMs!

In Part 2 of our interview with James Risen, Pulitzer-winning reporter formerly with The New York Times and now with The Intercept, we discuss more details from his new book: “The Last Honest Man.”

James Risen, author of The Last Honest Man: The CIA, the FBI, the Mafia, and the Kennedys―and One Senator's Fight to Save Democracy, joins this episode of The New Abnormal politics podcast to talk about Senator Frank Church, who led what is known as the Church Committee, a group that held Senate hearings in order to hold the intelligence community accountable for its expansive abuses. He shares one particular story with co-host Andy Levy that explains how a few whip-smart journalists, and President Gerald Ford opening his big mouth, finally exposed the CIA and set the hearings against them in motion. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nearly 50 years ago, the Church Committee began holding hearings to investigate the CIA and U.S. intelligence agencies' lawless and secret efforts to spy on and plan assassination plots. This week on Intercepted, Jeremy Scahill is joined by James Risen and Thomas Risen to discuss how the CIA — without oversight from Congress and at times behind the backs of U.S. presidents — orchestrated coups against popular democratic governments from Guatemala to Iran and spied on anti-war activists and Black Power leaders inside the U.S. It was not until the Democratic Sen. Frank Church decided to take on this unaccountable, powerful, covert force within the U.S. national security apparatus that some of the CIA's crimes and abuses came into public view. Sen. Church chaired a committee in 1975 that sought to reign in the CIA and impose laws and rules for their conduct. A new book by James Risen and Thomas Risen, called “The Last Honest Man: The CIA, the FBI, the Mafia, and the Kennedys — and One Senator's Fight to Save Democracy,” tells the story of the man behind the Church Committee and how an unlikely hero emerged to battle the most powerful secret entity in the U.S. government.If you'd like to support our work, go to theintercept.com/join — your donation, no matter what the amount, makes a real difference.And if you haven't already, please subscribe to the show so you can hear it every week.
