It’s normally a routine annual meeting about threats to the United States and global security. But today’s U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee hearing came a day after Trump administration officials were revealed to have mistakenly included a journalist on chat group discussing war plans. @politico breaks down the heated questioning.

#Security #Senate #Intelligence #Gabbard #CIA #Signal
Senator #MichaelBennet is going off! on #CIA director #JohnRatcliffe about the #Signal chat group.
#Bennet: “You’re the director of the CIA, and you didn’t check who was in the chat group?”
…
“Did you know the president’s Middle East adviser was in Moscow while on this thread?”
#Ratcliffe: I did not know that. (again, he’s the director of the CIA)
The #Senate Select Cmte on #Intelligence hearing is a regular briefing intelligence ofcls provide #Congress on worldwide threats & was scheduled before #JeffGoldberg’s report from The Atlantic.
But the controversy is likely to dominate the session.
Testifying:
#DNI Tulsi Gabbard
#CIA Dir John Ratcliffe
Timothy D. Haugh, #NSA
#Defense Intelligence Agency dir Jeffrey A. Kruse
#FBI director Kash Patel

El Golpe: US Labor, the CIA, and the Coup at Ford in Mexico is a bombshell book on how US unions & the CIA teamed up during the Cold War to crush socialist labor movements & topple leftist governments abroad. The receipts are brutal.

Weird Al, Party In The CIA
Today in Labor History March 16, 1978: The far-left terrorist group Red Brigades (BR) kidnapped Former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro. They murdered him 55 days later. There are lots of hypotheses about their motivations, many of which are considered fringe. One hypothesis claims they did it to stop Moro’s mediation between the Communist Party and the Christian Democrats in order to halt the CP’s rise to power so as to increase the BR’s influence within the Left. Other hypotheses include the idea that BR had been infiltrated and manipulated by the CIA or by Gladio, a clandestine paramilitary associated with NATO.

Plans to redevelop a Northern #Virginia warehouse site have long been complicated by the area’s worst-kept secret—the presence of a CIA facility. The #GSA put the site up for sale anyway.

Throwback Thursday!
In 1944, the Office of Strategic Services (predecessor to the CIA) put out this sabotage manual for civilians living in Europe under Nazi occupation. This manual was only de-classified in 2008.
It's an important piece of anti-fascist history, offering a fascinating look at what everyday, average citizens were being asked to do to resist fascist rule and work towards liberation.

The #McCarthy - #Era will be a "Walk in the Park" against these #brainwashed #Trump-#Zombies, cleaning the #Authorities from #Adversaries. This weakens by the Way the Security in every thinkable Form and strengthens the Will for #Whistleblowers
and #Sabotage from within. You can't find so many Trump loyal People, to control such big #Entities like #FBI, #NSA and #CIA. They rip them apart, but this will cause a lot of #Trouble. Does anyone respect #PamBondi ? It's a #Joke.
If you think #Uyghurs in #Xinjiang are oppressed, and even commited genocide against by #China, then you're believing into lies of #CIA (#NED, #RadioFreeAsia, etc), and of course Christo-fascist founder of the #VictimsOfCommunismMemorialFoundation, #AdrianZenz.
I've been recently given that same #GenocideWatch document shown in the video as "evidence". Absolutely insane that someone would believe this garbage. Same site diminishes an actual genocide in #Palestine.
@RandomFactsAboutCats@toot.communityIn the 1960s, the 
#CIA tried to turn a cat into a spy. They implanted a microphone into her ear and a radio transmitter at the base of her skull. She survived the surgery but got hit by a taxi on her first mission. Poor thing.
#Trump praises Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman [#MBS] of #SaudiArabia as “tremendously respected all over the world,” without mentioning that the #CIA during Trump’s first term said the prince was responsible for the grisly murder & dismemberment of #JamalKhashoggi a Saudi #journalist for The Washington Post.

CNN: "The CIA is conducting a formal review to assess any potential damage from an unclassified email sent to the White House in early February that identified for possible layoffs some officers by first name and last initial and could’ve exposed the roles of people working undercover, a source familiar with the matter told CNN. "

Russian #propaganda and #disinformation revolves around four main themes:
1) #Russia is the victim,
2) Historical revisionism,
3) The “decadent West” is collapsing,
4) The #CIA and/or “evil Anglo-Saxons” are behind every revolution & anti - #Kremlin activity.
