of the soviets he passes these things to cia and his cia and mi6 case officers. he provides high level soviet policy papers. he even tries to warn the us ahead of time about that the berlin wall is going up but he can't do so in time above all he conveys his impressions that the soviet leadership is not as confident as they appear. they are blustering from a position of weakness and they know it. they worry about provoking the us to war. they know they do not have strategic superiority in nuclear weapons. the national the national intelligence estimates at the time the us national intelligence at the time assessed that the soviets had far fewer nuclear missiles than they were claiming. it was bluster. and then khrushed off backs down on berlin and that seems to confirm pincofsky's intelligence. at the same time pankowsky says kristoff might do something desperate. cia gave pinkovsky the code name hero hit the vast documentary intelligence that he provided was marked the code word ironbark. and then the oral debriefings he gave that was the chickadee intelligence.

the president went on to praise the cia for its continued service to the nation. [applause] >> good afternoon, everyone. mr. president, it is an honor to welcome you to cia as we celebrate our 75th anniversary. your present -- your presence here means a great deal you know as well as anyone in public life that good intelligence delivered with honesty and integrity is america's first line of defense. along with the director hands and partners across the intelligence community, we work hard every day to earn your trust and the trust of the american people. we work hard to navigate a world in profound transformation. from vladimir putin's aggression in ukraine to the long time problems posed by china, to the technology changing the way we live, work, fight and compete, we work hard every day to shape a workforce fit for the 21st century challenges, to take care of our officers and their families, and embody the richness and diversity of american society. and we work hard every day to honor the quiet bravery immortalized on the simple marble wall behind me, who's 139

let's note where the leading cia analyst worked yes, he headed the cia department in moscow in iraq and pakistan where the relations of the united states with moscow with cancer and with pakistan are fucking, from everywhere the americans would be forced to have more such analysts don't you think that we really need to support such analysts. well, i think, yes, your fund should support,

to be sure it wasn't all the cia is doing. al-qaida security committee admitted that in appointing after careful and precise examination. we have concluded that the demise of all the brothers were killed by turn strikes resulted from their own mistakes. the enemy success is not due to their brilliance or modern superior technology, but rather it has to do with the brothers repeatedly neglecting to comply with basic security measures. that should be cleared everyone by now. according to the papers archaida security committee believe that it was that it worked out not just how the drones operated but also how they could be evaded. success of the drones they believe relied on spies on the ground sending signals to locate a target. al-qaida was convinced that pakistan's isi was helping the cia by recruiting spies. but our kinds of security committee was also convinced that it was simple to all the brothers needed to do was to hide. when i said earlier hiding became al qaeda's murders of randy, i wasn't exaggerated. we're not talki

came to head to cia and i established my relationship with bush. i was 26 years old at the time and that relationship was obviously. pivotal in my life because he eventually made me attorney general. he served in that role for a year if i recall. yeah, he was in that role as a head of cia for one year and during this time. the cia was under investigation by six committees and one commission. this was for alleged. excesses during the cold war things like attempted or successful assassinations and things like that. and so he had to defend the agency during the time where everyone was trying to tear it apart. and he did such a great job in that one year and he won the respect of the agency professionals who are the old-time cold warriors in those days? that they named the cia campus and building after him. it's the george hw bush intelligence center. so that's the kind of impact. it could have even just one year in the job. you your doj. you're the number two there. you become acting attorney general and attorney general thornburg gets convinced to ru

offered to who dis cia, a sense late a friends. in order to study questions of brainwashing what they discovered was 11 of the 2 foundational techniques and the ca, doctrine of psychological torture. they discovered a self inflicted pain. what they described in that, in their, in their co author article was that the most devastating technique that the k g, b a n k v d practice was not crude physical beatings. but simply making subjects stand immobile for hours and days at a time. if you force a human being to stay in a certain position, especially a position that puts a little stress on ligaments or muscles or bones, joints. it doesn't take very long for the pain involved to become absolutely excruciating. but nobody's lane figure finger on you. you are doing it to yourself. ah, that was one of the techniques, the over technique they discovered was from the a, the biomedical research. there was dr. haps work. it was the chair of the psychology department, and mcgill university in canada. students volunteered to participate in the s

ah, the cia trained allied agencies in the techniques. so in effect, you know, knowing about dissemination about if use some of these techniques to other armies. could you take an ordinary individual, like a resty or recruit and make a person become an effective interrogate? and it seems that milligrams experiment was liking part of this project. when i learned of incidents such as the destruction of millions of men, women and children, perpetrated by the nazis in world war 2. how is it possible? i asked myself that ordinary people were courteous and decent in everyday life. can i callously in you mainly without any limitations of conscience? under what conditions, when a person obey authority, who commanded actions and went against conscience? these are exactly the questions that i wanted to investigate at your university. the mower experiment very simply was assimilated torture. this was one, not all the research we've been describing is the impact of interrogation upon the subject. milgar had another agenda, the impact of interrogation

i said to be director of the cia and he almost fell out of his chair. this was during the vietnam war so it wasn't that obvious a choice and i went to columbia, i studied chinese, got my masters degree in chinese studies because everyone else was studying russia and the other long-term rival was china which i felt over the long-term would be the more serious challenge in that is why i went into chinese studies and as we all know president nixon went to china and all of a sudden china was the craze and the cia -- i worked part-time for two summers, being a child of the depression, you need a profession, something to fall back on, go to law school. my father said do what you would like to do so i went to the cia and law school and later on when jimmy carter won the election and appointed someone i didn't think was a good director i left, but having gone to the cia through a series of remarkable coincidences i was brought in, they elevated me to the legislative office to work on all these investigations of the cia and i met the director, george h w bush wh

or how did you happen to get in the cia?be: well, i had a sense of service to my nation, and it seemed a good place for me. so much in life, as you and i have talked about before, is finding place. and it was -- the agency was opening its doors to women, so it was a good opportunity for me. and i really enjoyed the service that i was able to provide. david: how long were you in the cia? phebe: about four or five years. david: and were you a cia agent? or you a spy, undercover? or you can't say even today? phebe: so, we were what were called case officers. you might in the common parlance think about those as spies. david: when you were doing that could you tell anybody what you were doing? what did you tell people you were doing as a career? phebe: well, we had various stories that we told, approved stories, and i think we will leave it at that. david: your parents, did they even know? phebe: my parents knew. david: after you did that for a while, you decided to go, where, business school? phebe: yes, so the cold war was win

and the cia can do anything. now, we're not talking about in normal cases, we're not talking about violent overthrows, of, of, of countries. but what we are talking about is the use of propaganda. the use of hacking, the recruitment of media figures in order to, to put forward an analytic line that the cia would approve of. so yeah it's, it's absolutely possible. i don't know if it's happening in europe right now. even if i did know, i am sure that the ca wouldn't allow me to say, but it's.

this cia has known about hunter and the chinese. the cia knows everything. cia knew everything joe was doing in ukraine. it was the cia guy who was the whistleblower. it flagged trump for getting too close to burisma. it's the cia's job to know what countries are blackmailing our politicians. or who is getting rich off the side. do anything about it? no. they colluded with big tech and the media to kill the hunter biden story. joe lies with ease because he knows everybody in washington has his back. >> my son has not made money in terms of this thing about -- what are you talking about, china? i have not had -- the only guy that made money from china is this guy. he is the only one. nobody else has made money from china. >> jesse: that's why he lies. he knows he is good. joe flew his son to china where he cut deals. the biden family has made millions in china. it's been reported everywhere. and joe meets with hunter's business partners all the time. joe biden has met at least 14 of hunter's business partners that we could find. here's an email from hunter ad

they put that group in with the analyst cia. they came to sir, medically shields, but that was a structural fault. and so when i say i'm an analyst, i want to dissociate myself, not only from any role or from any knowledge what was going on in the covert action, over throwing government's field. and the way this came, i this statement by john bolton. did you find a surprising re that the journalist chick tupper from cnn didn't really follow up, but simply nodded his head and laughed when he said that could a taos were happening abroad with fall us knowledge? well i'm not surprised to jake tapper is part of the establishment and there are, there are distinct limits as to how far a an establishment journalist can go in questioning without endangering his position. jake tapper is making a lot of money. i know i'm way back when, when he was making no money at all. so my point is simply that as there is a establishment, there is a or degree beyond which journalist can't go. i'll give you an example short one. i challenge secretary ru

the 75 years of service that the cia has done.he president will meet with agents who have worked on ukraine and have been thrust into the limelight because of the russian invasion in ukraine. now, the agency, again with, has been thrust into that spotlight for the work it does pushing back on russian invasion. in that latest push according to the russian state-run media, myrrh putin warned russian companies that there would be, to brace for a full embargo and another european union sanction package. here's the white house again blaming russia for our economic issues. >> all of those, all of the work that the president has done has helped to blunt the price increase. now remember, this price increase is due to putin's, putin's tax hikes, putin's war, brutal war on ukraine. and that's why we have seen the increase of gas prices, that's why we have seen the increase of food. and so the president's going to continue to do the work. >> reporter: the cia also in the limelight somewhat this year for afghanistan. there was some intergover

how did you get to be in the cia?: i had a sense of service for my nation, and it seemed like a good place for me. the agency was opening its doors to women, and so it was a good opportunity to me, and i really enjoyed the service i was able to provide. david: how long were you in the cia? phebe: 4 or 5 years. david: were you a spy? phebe: we were case officers. in the common parlance you might think of those as spies. david: what did you tell people you're doing as a career? phebe: we had various stories we told, approved stories, and we will leave it at that. david: did your parents even know? phebe: my parents knew. david: you decided to go to business school? phebe: the cold war was winding down. i decided to go to business school. david: if you have a wharton mba, i assume it is easy to get a job. was it easy for you to get a job? phebe: it was extremely difficult. i had an iconoclastic background and i was seven months pregnant. it was difficult to find a job. david: you find jobs -- employers weren't -- phebe:

some of them had worked for the cia. and james mccord had been employed as a security consultant to the republican national committee. >> what was this? what was its purpose? and who sponsored it? >> five people have been arrested and charged with breaking into the headquarters of the democratic national committee in the middle of the night. >> the democratic national committee is located in the watergate office building. the burglars forced a stairwell door then taped its latch open. the door was noticed by one of the guards employed by the watergate complex. the police found five men crouching behind some desks. >> the weekend the arrests at the watergate occurred, i had gone to the philippines to give a speech. it was for the bureau of narcotics and dangerous drugs in manila. but let me -- let me go back. the reason i wanted to become a lawyer is that i was very smitten with washington. as early as prep school, i started traveling to washington with my roommate. >> john was very good with people, he was a people perso

that elevated me to the legislative office of the cia thenn i met to the director george h.w.h and i establish my relationship with bush and i was 26 years old at the time and that relationship iwas pivotal. >> he served and that will for a year quick. >> yes. as head of cia for one year and during this time under investigation by six committees in oneas commission for those excesses during the cold war and with those for adsuccessful assassinations but to defend the agency when everyone is trying to tear it apart he did such a great job in that year and won the respect of the agency professionals that they named to the caa campus and building 'after him george h.w. bush intelligence center that's the impact just after one year on the job. >> year at doj. the number two acting attorney general when convinced to run for senate it was supposed to be the dog days in washington that you had to deal with a very major issue and talladega. that was a compelling part of the book. >> so initially at justice was the head of the office of legal counsel i call it the egg heads of the depa

cia director. it's like they marked out cia and i said why are you doing that? and the letters cia are everywhere. they said, well, if you have the letters cia in your book then the cia has to review your book and that could add months to your publication, okay, forget it, i'll leave it there. anyway and i'll make this quick because it's a much longer answer. the fbi is overseas and over 70 offices and we're all based at the u.s. embassies throughout the world and most people don't know that we're overseas and what the fbi does, if there's a nexus to an investigation in the united states and has a nexus to, say, china, which is one of the places i was stationed. and i have to go to the chinese government and get whatever evidence they need and get back to the united states. and advice versa, if the chinese have that. and that's certainly what you're doing, more of a liaison position although in some offices and in the ones i covered. if there's a case or a terrorist bombing which happened in a couple of the places i covered. if the foreign government wants the f

it's like blank director david petraeus britt cia director. they marked out cia. i said where you doing that? the letter cia are everywhere. they said well, if you have the letter cia in your book than the cia has to review your book. that could add months to your publication. i'm okay forget it i'll leave it there. i'll make this quick it's a much longer answer. the fbi is overseas and over 70 offices. we are basing u.s. embassies throughout the world. if this investigation here in the united states we have a nexus to state china i am the person who works to get that information or evidence or whatever they need and get that back to the d united states so e can do our investigation and vice versa. the head of the office we are more of a liaison position. if there is a case in a terrorist bombing and other places i covered. once the fbi to help going to go to the fbi if it's warranted we send people over too that country and we help them with their investigation. there's a terrorist attack oversee that as the fbi's jurisdiction for the fbi investigates it.se that'

google has previously been accused of cooperating with the cia and u. s. military operations in afghanistan. any doc, it was accused of selling an enhanced version of google earth to the us government . google isn't the 1st i t company to hire numerous former american secret service officers. previously, the mit press website published an investigation according to which micro blogging service, twitter hired, quote, dozens of individuals from the national security state to work in the fields of security. trust, safety and content and knowledge cross live to dr. michael rectinwald's, former new york university professor, an author of google archipelago. what is your take on cia agents working in the social media field, given that the fact that the c, i a has been known for planting, fake news about washington's enemies. a k operation might get mockingbird and such yes it's, it's an indication that the, the, the google is really a state apparatus that they've always been a state apparatus that they're working for the government and that they are certainly

cia director, it's like they marked out cia and i said well, why are you doing that? the letter cia are everywhere and they said well. if you have the letter cia in your book, then the cia has to review your book and that could add months. to your publication so like yeah. okay, forget i'll just leave it there. but anyway, um, and i'll make this quick because it's it's a much longer answer the fbi is overseas and over 70 offices. we are all based in the us embassies throughout the world. and most people don't know that we're overseas and what the fbi does is if there is a nexus to an investigation here in the united states and it has a nexus to say china, which is one of the places i was stationed then i'm the person who works with the chinese government. to get that information or evidence or whatever they need and get that back to the united states so we can do our investigation and vice versa if the chinese have an investigation i help them with that. so you're the fbi the legal attache. the head of the office that's generally what you're doing. you are it's more o

the cia director said that the u.s.15,000 killed, some 45,000 injured, that's 60,000 and in my experience, the u.s. estimate is somewhat on the low end of the scale compared to other western intelligence agencies. how long can russia withstand those losses? those are the personnel losses. we also know they had enormous losses in terms of military hardware. >> you know, this is the huge question. putin has resisted doing a general conscription. and the soldiers who are being killed, and that's a remarkable number, more than three times what the united states lost in iraq and afghanistan over, you know, 15, 20 years, right, the people who are being killed are largely from poorer sections and outlying sections of russia, they're not the middle class kids from st. petersburg who, you know, have signed up. this is going to be a big supply problem for putin. and there are a lot of people who believe that putin is going to run out of gas here in the ability to hold the donbas in just the next couple of months. we'll have to se

however, the vote was won by a centrist party, which the cia later admitted funding. and while the former c, i a chief didn't clarify all of the agencies activities in those countries. he's not the 1st to make such revelations. i was the c, i, director, we lied, we cheated. we still thought that somebody who is health plan coo data, not here, but you know, other places it takes a lot of work. we will not promote democracy through costly military interventions or by attempting to overthrow authoritarian regimes by force. we tried these tactics in the past. however, well intentioned, they haven't worked. what we really are not talking about is what happened in iran in the 1950s. what happened all through latin america in the 19 fifties and sixties into the 19 seventy's. you know, it's not just a handful of countries around the world that the cia did this in, but it's dozens and dozens of countries and overthrowing, a government or stealing and election is not democratic. i, you know, we used to say the cia, that every country should be free to choose the kind of governm

regarding the health of the russian american intelligence considers the president to be too healthy ciaef william byrne stated that there is no intelligence information that president putin is in an unstable condition or in poor health earlier there were reports in the media the assumption that the russian leader who turns 70 this year may have health problems were unconfirmed reports that he may have cancer american intelligence knows more about this and we will talk about it in the next article putin was wrong in his assumptions about ukraine's ability to resist invasion and regarding the western support that ukraine has before the war, and he is also wrong, now the director of the cia stated this at the security forum behind you, putin insists that ukraine is not a real country, real countries fight back and this is what the ukrainians did - said william burns, they believed that ukraine was weak and divided, the russian army would quickly fall to such an extent that, in his opinion, it would be able to win quickly and decisively with minimal costs. while the european leaders, in his

. -- cia, knows are elected words. host: this is the article that appeared at the next day in the washington post. bob woodward, one of the reporters, five men, one of whom said he was a former cia were arrested yesterday in what authorities described as an elaborate plot to bump the offices of the democratic national committee for the article goes on to note that was no immediate explanation as to why the five suspects were employed by the cia or any other individuals or organization. what was the eventual explanation for why they did that? guest: there really is no expiration, except i will say that my theory is, there is so much dark money, cash in every white house safe, and they didn't have to make decisions about, is this really going to help the committee to reelect the president? is this going to help reelect treat nixon, who had done some very good things as president, but why would he need to do this. he won the election with 49 states, and overwhelming landslide in the electoral college. there really is no l

he had been stewing in what the cia director called a - what the cia director called a combustible mixf grievance ambition and insecurity. mr burns also said china had been cautious about providing dilatory support to russia. —— military support. but he said beijing was seeking to learn lessons from its own ambitions. one being that any invasion would require overwhelming force. gordon corera, bbc news. in spain, firefighters are still struggling to contain dozens of wildfires. most of the country is on alert because of the high temperatures caused by the heatwave that's affected much of western europe. our europe correspondent nick beake reports from ateka, in northeastern spain, where a blaze has caused the evacuation of 1700 people, the nightmare confronting the people of ateca. flames lighting up and ripping through the bone—dry hillside. the danger drawing ever closer. hundreds forced to flee the now luminous landscape. under today's searing sun, we found fire teams battling to contain new outbreaks. this is a perfect illustration of the challenge they face. the smouldering pocket

related to vick leaks, uh, former us cia programmer joshua schulte found guilty of the largest theftnformation in the history of the intelligence agency is about a series of documents called vault number seven that have been published since 2017. the documents describe how the cia used for espionage smartphone and even eavesdropped on the conversation using connected to internet tvs. at the same time, the founder of vik-lix juliange, who is now in a british prison, previously stated that the site found only part of the material that compensates the cia, as wiki-lix reported on its page. on twitter , the leak was so serious that, according to the site, after the publication of documents, the cia was developing a way to kill assange. interference in internal affairs and the overthrow of power in other countries have become the norm of us behavior, this was stated by the official representative of the chinese ministry of foreign affairs, this is how he reacted in response to the confession of donald trump's former adviser, john bolton inadvertently confirmed in an interview that he was
