can you talk about the response of your colleagues at the state department?ave others resigned in other parts of the government? >> we have seen from the u.n. senior official resigned, we have not seen significant resignations within the u.s. government. but i have heard from many of my former colleagues who are trying to find what mechanisms they can use to slow this down, to change the policy. i fear their efforts continued to be in vain. we need to see and policy change from the top. i know a lot of good people i know a lot of good people are continue to make the argument. amy: my last question two goes back to 2021. in a recent cnn interview, discussed a disturbing story of a 13-year-old palestinian child raped by israeli forces. can you outline what you understand happened? >> there was a report by a charity in which this child had been taken into israeli custody, which is a question we should be asking why there are children in israeli custody, who was raped by his prison guard as part of his interrogation. this report came to the state department's int

cases: in 2005, black water guards fired 70 rounds into an iraqi civilian's car, forcing the state department to investigate. in 2006, according to leaked pentagan documents, black water guards fired indiscriminately at iraqi civilians killing, among others an ambulance driver. in 2007, black water guard shot and killed 14 iraqi civilians in what's been called the nissan square massacer or baghdad's bloody sunday. that is the record that lot of people around the world remember when they hear the name blackwater. sure, and when you do 100,00 missions. it's easy to take some things out of context, but remember uh, you had many thousands of insurgents actively trying to kill americans and not just american servicemen, but the most uh newsworthy americans there, diplomats, and with the state department asked, but the people i'm mentioning weren't insurgents, you killed a nissan square, your men killed a mother and son on their way to an appointment, doctor and a son, they killed a nine-year-old boy shot in the head, sadly the insurgents don't wear uniforms, they would drive ambulances filled with

they weren't in a good status on the list of suspicious people prepared by the state department. they had a record of smuggling in illegal weapons. the pentagon even overlooked their failure in the previous projects. the overlook was in fact a tool for the pentagon to push forward its goals, so by outsourcing the project to a small firm, they could put a cover on the crisis in the... future, the chinese bullets david and ifrahim gave the pentagon in russian packaging were discovered after a while. they were tried and were given seven- month house arrest for bypassing federal laws. they weren't so lucky to stay in the military business for years, just like eric prince and blackwater did in afghanistan and other places. or maybe their problem was they couldn't find the right conduites in the pentagon, so their ambition blew up in their faces and retired in a position of massacring people while they were still in their 20s. they could probably earn huge amounts of money in this industry for the rest of their lives. cossom mata, lieutenant general sulamani, he was born in village and

"black water founders had established their company with the support of the state department and the cia. following the 911 attacks and the occupation of afghanistan and the invasion of iraq, their main responsibility was to provide us diplomats and officials with security in those countries. without black water to protect them, us officials can't leave headquarters in the green zone. we need..." protection for our diplomats. on february 16th, 2005, an iraki vehicle came under heavy fire by black water forces when they were escorting a us military cavalcade. later on, they claimed that the iraqi vehicle targeted them, but investigation revealed that one of the blackwater agents had opened fire. on february 6th, 2006, sniper employed by blackwer open fire from the roof of the iraqi justice ministry, killing three guards working for the iraqi media network. when you look at how private security conferences were operating in iraq, it wasn't that surprising that something like nissan square was going to happen. the last controversial move by blackwater in iraq was the deadly shooting inc

the state department was able to confirm expenses of only one and a half billion.stion for who is in charge? the kiev regime throughout its financial pyramid. that is, the corruption of the kiev regime has become obvious. even for its western curators, and if so, then after the cessation of financial support , political support will soon dry up. we'll be back after a short commercial, here's what we'll talk about. where the dream ends, reality begins. in ukraine there are not enough places in cemeteries for neo-nazis. the new ones want to turn the graves into soviet soldiers, but this will not reduce the losses. it is getting better and better, up to 16% per annum on deposits, the best interest rate in savings. make a deposit with a favorable rate literally with one button in the mobile application in savings savings with prime is more profitable. only at alfabank. order a free alpha debit card, spin the reel in the app and get a superkick like. fireworks, the new year's light turns on, lights the lights, a magic staff, grandfather, and we have something tasty at h

this is what the declassified report of the american state department on assistance to kiev looks like. it turns out that western curators were unable to control the expenses of the ukrainian authorities. the counteroffensive failed. allocated military equipment disappeared before reaching the front line, where did the multi-billion tranches go and what is the real scale of ukrainian corruption, boris ivanin found out. no matter how much you invest in the kiev regime, you still won’t get dividends. ukraine, like a corruption center in whose pockets multi-billion-dollar tranches from overseas have disappeared, cannot even be found by the american state department. here is his report inspector general at the end of the year, the findings are shocking. remember how they pumped kiev with western weapons, now it turns out that there was no real control over this, like over humanitarian aid. the us embassy employees, who were supposed to monitor its distribution, failed their mission, afraid of the fighting. the americans also don’t know whether the technology has reached the front lines; th

almost every major department in the united states has its own intelligence service, nine intelligence services subordinate to the us department of defense, the entire director is in charge. national intelligence , and the director of the cia reports to him, that is, everything is seriously structured, thought out, and they act very harmoniously, we can call someone enemy number one, well, enemy number one is, let’s say, the decision control center, washington, he not enemy number one, this is the most serious enemy who coordinates this activity, in principle , the centers that we know were created in vilnius, which are in warsaw, in kiev, they are financed from washington and, in principle, their activities are determined. they did not succeed in this, such a softer scenario of first a coup d'etat through a high-quality political campaign, they took it into a radical direction, the radical direction did not work, this is a scenario ala ukrainian maidan, today the task is specifically set by military means, we must pay attention to the words of the head of state, he correctly said that

he was a clerk in a state department in. 14. and when the fires of washington had yet to take place, james monroe, who was his boss, the secretary of state, was out scouting to see of the disposition of british military forces. he concluded that there was a very strong probable line that washington would be attacked and possibly burned. so he sent a rider back. the state department, who contact stephen pleasanton and said i think you should secure all the important papers of the united states. stephen pleasant and then got wagons. he had bags made out of course linen. he secured all the major records of the united states at that time that were in the possession of the state department, including the declaration of independence, the constitution of the united states, other records of the senate that had not been released. treaties. washington's commission. washington's resignation document. but obviously most importantly, the declaration of independence. that he took wagons across the river, around bridge after thinking about it,

i think it does matter, that comment there from the state department because the signal diplomats herethat the united states is interested in having a resolution, so that would seem to suggest the state department is as well putting out fat signal. which is very different than the united states not engaging on a resolution. it signals they do want a product, but as i say come at the moment, they are scheduled for later this afternoon for a vote, but we have seen many postponements before. so we will have to see how this plays out. we will be back in — to see how this plays out. we will be back in new— to see how this plays out. we will be back in new york— to see how this plays out. we will be back in new york as _ to see how this plays out. we will be back in new york as and - to see how this plays out. we will be back in new york as and when | to see how this plays out. we will i be back in new york as and when we get any hint that it will be coming. that's the big broad international diplomacy in america. we will head to israel now, because the president isaac herzog speaking. israe

we also look at the foreign policy impact against the countries strategies that the state department promulgates and individual national security components. in terms of things that hold us back, we would like to have a little bit more flexibility on eligibility. at the moment, under the build act, country eligibility is determined by income level under the world bank income classification and this tool is really blunt in terms of what countries are included and which countries aren't. more flexibility on that would enable us to help the poorest communities in countries that might not meet those income level classifications. >> as you review this in regards to specific recommendations on including eligibility to be useful if you share that with that information with our staff so that we could get up to where we need to be as we are considering the reauthorization language. i want to ask the question in regards to the realignment by sector rather than financial product. i'm interested as the input you're receiving from the workforce and we understand there's challenges whether the tea

what could i please or do the have the state department c i a weapons, bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. i changed and whatever you do, don't want my show state main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direction. but again, you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the waiting thing. the israel says the ground bottles are raging in the southern gauze and city of san eunice. exactly the place where a humanitarian price is taking a serious told on civilians who would fled this specifically. but the safety for years since his last trip to them at least invited me to put in his back in the region for bilateral talks with the leaders of the united arab emirates and saudi arabia vladimir. so as he pulls the plug in a meeting with us, lawmakers counseling at the last minute reports emerge of a risk between washington and p. f over the failure, serve with a much fibers counter offensive against russia and out with the old news.

the state department was opposed to it. i am very grateful and associate public, i am grateful that resident clinton signed it in spite of the opposition by some in the administration. secondly, the business community opposed it. i mean, the chamber of commerce and some of the high-tech companies? they oppose this thing. they did want to say publicly too much. they worked this hill over and over, and through good offices. >> let me just say this is always been particularly in-house but also in the senate, a bipartisan issue by republicans and democrats came together to kind of do something about it. the circumstances, i think that kind of like two this was, one ugly president reagan said that the words in the constitution and the words in the declaration of independence were a covenant, not a concept but a covenant with the people not only in philadelphia in 1776 and 1787 with the entire world. president reagan and pope john paul and prime minister margaret thatcher kind of set the stage if you will when he you saw e fall o

it's not just the state department. it's also the pentagon. lso the department of homeland security. i think americans would be really horrified to know how much of their taxpayer dollars have gone into not just helping launch some of these things, but also helping market, promote and work with them. there is a reason why this censorship has been so effective. and it's not, you know, it's not any one thing but there are lots of these companies, organizations, for profit companies and federal government agencies they are working together. that's why, you know, in our lawsuit we were also joined with the state of texas on some of these issues because it is so serious. >> laura: mollie, i think these marketing firms, working with corporate tidessers and then you get a little pressure from some of these left oriented groups, and that can spell trouble really fast. because these corporate boards are just like, you know such with uses no we are going to wrap up and not advertise this type of censorship news on every issue that matters. every issue th

and the us state department says israel needs to do more to clamp down on set lavonne and some palestinians in the occupied west bank the to as israel's ground invasion of southern gauze, it gets on the way the north continues to be bombarded from the land and sea this was the moment and is riley drive and fide miss solid. the northern gates of feet come all at one house. so an estimate of 10000 palestinians had been sheltering inside and around the medical center. now more people are arriving from other areas being targeted in searching for refuge gauze has dropped to say the situation i come all at one of the hospitals is catastrophic. they've run out of beds and medicine and they ended up being treated on sure was unimed, car doors causes health ministry is asking the un to pressure israel to release don't, does that they've jail so they can treat the injured also in the north, hundreds of displaced palestinians sheltering of the a saw all stuff tall we school on the move again is roll. top is at the school in golf and city communications across garza happen cutoff. once again, in the so

they come to the state department just moments after the us make sure that the un cannot demand to cease fire. so they're talking right now as we speak. and if they're saying to the secretary of state, what we, what they've said to press into some of the policy makers throughout the day is that they need a cease fire. now, saudi arabia said the ford minister from saudi arabia when i asked, is the bite administration doing enough? are you doing an you said nobody's doing enough, obviously, because the fighting is still happening. and there's a, we can't wait 2 weeks for the fighting to wrap up. it needs to end now. and he did go out to say that they were promising to hold the international community to account didn't detail exactly what that might actually look like. but did you already in 4 minutes or spoke to journalists earlier today and again at the same tag? and he said, what's happening now is basically erased the last 30 years of work. he said, people in his region are getting angry or by the day and what this is done, he says, is made it so that entire generation of people cannot

i will emphasize that on the seventh floor of the state department, specialists will know what it isand what is being formed there, and what plans, in this regard, work is being carried out to try to consolidate everything under one umbrella, the allocation of funds, the distribution of these funds, projects , attempts to somehow influence the situation, everything is lining up for the twenty- fifth year. what is this seventh floor of the state department, and returning to the conversation about intelligence services, our intelligence services, they also exist, they are great, they work, so, but we also have intelligence services of enemies, this is exactly what we were talking about here about some of our global geopolitical enemies, we must understand that this the collective west, from the very beginning it was always our civilizational enemy, don’t. leadership, but you can also remember that the hidden offices are located there on the seventh floor in the famous cia langley, there the leadership is also located on the seventh floor, and accordingly this seventh floor is in genera

and then you have the state department. what's the pretty good club? erik: pretty good club is a term that one diplomat, hugh wilson, the man, actually, who eventually replaced dodd in berlin, he came up with to describe to describe the diplomatic corps of the foreign service, the nature of it, that it was very clubby. it tended to the typical ambassador was very wealthy. the typical foreign service senior guy was typically wealthy, had gone to all the right schools harvard, princeton, so forth. they all kind of came from the same world. they knew each other. many were many were independently wealthy. most ambassadors, in fact, prior to dodd, were independently wealthy. the clubby idea extends even to the fact that if you weren't of that class, of that character of person, you were an outsider. and dodd was very much an outsider. he did not go to those schools. he did not have independent wealth. and this became a serious source of, initially, low grade and then later, ultimately, career ending conflict within the state department between the pretty go

and again, everybody in the state department was out from it so that rogers, the secretary of state, didn't even know that this had happened and knowledge of it was confined to a tiny elite. but it worked and the the the welcome given by chao enlai and and and mao to kissinger opened the way to a visit by nixon in the following year. so it really would be hard to to overstate the shock because the photographs like this had when they first appeared in the american press in 72, richard nixon, whose whole life until that had been based upon fanatical anti-communism, shaking hands and making toasts. the leadership of communist china, it it the world. and it had a revolutionary effect upon the diplomatic. on the same journey he visited both china and, the soviet union. the solemn treaty. and of course, this was in 1972, which is a presidential year. and he understood that he was likely to be able to get a lot of positive mileage out of these two diplomatic accomplish, setting up his reelection campaign. and indeed, when it came to the point he won the nomination and overwhelmingly and the
