In Syrien umarmen USA und Deutschland Al-Kaida-Terroristen, während sie gegen Hamas Waffen liefern.Kommentar von Rainer Rupp.Die Diplomatie der westlichen Demokraturen präsentiert sich gerne als moralischen Leuchtturm, als Musterbeispiel für Prinzipientreue und intellektuelle Aufrichtigkeit und nicht zu vergessen - Humanität. Alles nur Schall und Rauch! Zur Verdummung der eigenen Bevölkerung. Im Ausland dagegen, vor allem im globalen Süden, weiß man schon lange, welch hässliche Fratze der Doppelmoral und Grausamkeit hinter der freundlich lächelnden Maske der Vertreter der sogenannten Hoch-Zivilisation aus den US-NATO-EU-Staaten steckt. Hier ein aktuelles Beispiel, das jeder aus eigener Anschauung kennen müsste:Während in den USA und Deutschland Politiker und Medien mit Schreck in der Stimme und erhobenem Zeigefinger uns stets vor der „radikal-islamistischen Terrororganisation Hamas“ warnen, um damit die Lieferungen von Geld und Waffen an das von rassistischen Rechtsradikalen geführte Regime in Israel zu rechtfertigen, schließen gleichzeitig dieselben Vertreter der westlichen Hochkultur im israelischen Nachbarland Syrien den mörderischen Al-Kaida-Ableger „Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)“ in ihre Arme.Während die vom Westen an Israel gelieferten Waffen den zionistischen Massenmördern dabei helfen sollen, die Hamas zu vernichten, die sich der Vertreibung widersetzen und das Land ihrer Vorfahren gegen die jüdischen Landräuber verteidigen, hofieren die Vertreter des Wertewesten zeitgleich die inzwischen politisch rehabilitierten Kopfabschneider HTS mit warmem politischen Entgegenkommen und finanziellen Unterstützungen in Höhe von Hunderten von Millionen Dollar.Bei dieser glanzvollen Demonstration von intellektueller Kohärenz, moralischer Klarheit und Gerechtigkeit stehen die USA wie üblich an erster Stelle, diesmal dicht gefolgt von Deutschland, dessen Eliten wieder in der ganzen Welt mehr Verantwortung übernehmen wollen, während zu Haus alles zusammenkracht und immer mehr Menschen nicht mehr wissen, wie sie über die Runden kommen sollen.Lasst uns jetzt dieses Meisterstück der Doppelmoral genauer unter die Lupe nehmen. Dazu hat Larry C. Johnson, ein ehemaliger hochrangiger CIA-Analyst, aus dem ein engagierter Anti-Imperialist und Kritiker der US-Außenpolitik geworden ist, jüngst recherchiert und uns schockierende Zahlen präsentiert.Laut Johnson, der sich auf Daten des israelischen Außenministeriums stützt, haben palästinensische Gruppen – nicht nur Hamas, sondern alle zusammen – vom Jahr 2000 bis April 2024 insgesamt 1.521 Israelis getötet. Das sind durchschnittlich 61 Tote pro Jahr in einem 25-jährigen Zeitraum. Hamas selbst wird für 105 Anschläge verantwortlich gemacht, was einem bescheidenen Durchschnitt von 4,2 Anschlägen pro Jahr entspricht.Vergleichen wir das nun mit den überragenden Terror-Leistungen von HTS in Syrien. Diese Gruppe, die sich 2017 aus verschiedenen islamistischen Fraktionen als Al-Kaida-Ableger zusammenschloss, hat in nur sechs Jahren (2018–2023) laut CIA 674 Anschläge verübt – das sind 112 pro Jahr, also 27-mal so viele wie Hamas. Und die Todeszahlen? HTS hat 2.143 Menschen getötet, ein jährlicher Schnitt von 357. Das ist fast sechsmal so viel wie alle palästinensischen Gruppen zusammen auf dem Gewissen haben! Gezählt werden hier nur bei Terroranschlägen getötete Menschen....https://apolut.net/mega-leistung-us-amerikanischer-und-deutscher-doppelmoral-von-rainer-rupp/ Hosted on Acast.

The Trump administration is trying to discredit the intelligence assessment that concluded Russian President Putin ordered a campaign to interfere in the 2016 election with the intent of helping elect Trump. Contrary to almost all intelligence findings, Trump and his aides allege a conspiracy by the Obama White House. Geoff Bennett discussed more with former CIA analyst Michael Van Landingham.

In this episode of The Burn Bag, A'ndre sits down with retired CIA analyst Gina Bennett, who famously authored the first classified warning about Osama bin Laden in 1993. A key voice in the fight against al-Qaeda — and featured in the Netflix documentary Manhunt — Gina reflects on her decades in intelligence and how the U.S. national security system has long understood the nature of threats.Now, she's pushing for a paradigm shift with her Hunter-Gatherer National Security theory — a bold framework that challenges the traditional, militarized view of power and argues that skills like emotional intelligence, civic engagement, and social cohesion are just as vital to national security as military might. Together, A'ndre and Gina explore the deep historical biases embedded in how we define “security,” the concept of evolutionary power, the dangers of neglecting civic education in a democracy, and what a more holistic, evolved security strategy could look like.

Pedro is a former CIA Analyst and Operations Officer. In a dedicated and extensive career, he has worked for the CIA in the comfort of safe desk jobs, in high-risk field operations, and in very dangerous war zone posts. When he saw and reported serious failures in CIA operations affecting the safety and professional performance of CIA colleagues and military operations, he blew the whistle. The result was not that he was praised for his diligence, but that he became the criminal. He was hounded, accused, undermined, and fired to protect the reputation of the CIA and its senior officers. Pedro's own response was not to run, but to stand his ground, and he fought the system all the way to Congress.

A doctor and a lawyer walk into a bar. Then there's a third person who happens to be an ex-CIA analyst. Who has the coolest story? I want to be my next guest, David McCloskey, an author, speaker, and ex-CIA analyst.

Wayne Allensworth, a CIA analyst for more than 30 years, has noted that “A subversive, anti-American ruling elite has replaced America's old governing system and that this successor system treats America as an occupied zone of a global empire.” If we consider the U.S. government's suicidal fiscal and border policies from this point of view, then ...

In this episode, we welcome David McCloskey to the show. He is a former CIA Analyst turned novelist. While in the CIA, he worked in field stations across the Middle East and briefed senior White House officials and Arab royalty. He has written two novels: Damascus Station and his newest book Moscow X. In this interview, we discuss what led him to working at the CIA, common misperceptions of the work the CIA does, what a day in the life of a CIA analyst looks like, whether or not the CIA has “black ops” groups, whether or not the CIA is spying on American citizen, what the federal government knows about potential terrorists crossing our porous southern border, why he decided to leave the CIA and become a professional writer, the major mistakes that he has made in his writing career, misperceptions of the publishing world, his writing and research process, and much more.

George Beebe, former CIA analyst and Russia expert, describes the changing geopolitical landscape of the world, with China looking to usurp the U.S. and beginning to fill the void of the United States status at the world's great negotiator and peacemaker. Beebe says, "right now, the Chinese are, in fact, moving into a diplomatic vacuum that the United States has left. Because we have not focused to the degree that I think we need to on diplomatic statecraft. So that's something I think that we really need to resurrect in our toolkit." He also explains that the U.S. and China have evolved from major trade partners, to competing superpowers. Beebe warns, that Washington is known to overcorrect, and “swing the pendulum too far,” as it is both dangerous for the United tastes to treat China as a partner or “a friend,” but also dangerous diplomatically to overcorrect and to think of “China as an enemy.” Saying, that the United States response needs to be “something in between those two, that we need to be focusing on.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tyrants gain control through weaponizing the fear of loneliness, author and former CIA analyst Stella Morabito says. In America, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the omnipresent voice of the COVID-19 pandemic, is one example of this, she says. “I believe that he symbolizes for our era the weaponization of loneliness,” Morabito, a senior contributor at The Federalist, says of Fauci. “When you think about what all these COVID mandates did to our society: the lockdowns, the devastation in human relationships, the way that it created hostilities, even among family members." “When COVID hit, our loneliness, our isolation [grew], especially for people [who] lived alone, being put under house arrest ... for at least months, and some people afraid to come out," she says. "I mean, this was the enforcement of our isolation—literal, blatant enforcement. And I think Fauci symbolizes all of that. More than symbolizes it, I mean, he directed so much of it.”In her new book “The Weaponization of Loneliness: How Tyrants Stoke Our Fear of Isolation to Silence, Divide, and Conquer,” Morabito, who has a master's degree in Russian and Soviet history, explains how the powerful use the fear of loneliness as a tool to gain and maintain authority. Morabito joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss how her previous work at the CIA, which focused on studying propaganda, led her to write the book, and how Americans can reject tyranny.
