‘The American empire can move forward without breaking because there will always be people to LIE to the world, and KILL overseas.’ —Matthew Hoh, Former Department of Defense & State Department Official, who resigned over the Afghanistan war ‘You look at Marco Rubio, you look at Pete Hegseth, you look of course at Donald Trump, and these are men who would all fit into an updated edition of Edward Gibbon’s ‘The History of the Decline of the Roman Empire. There’s a madness, a quality of insanity to these people.. We saw under the Biden administration just 12 people [resign] and do what was necessary for their own consciences as well as to try and give some semblance of notion to the world of what was occurring, but now we see no one doing that. I think a lot have already left, but many are men and women who will tread water. Many are men and women who will say they have the golden handcuffs, many are men and women who say this is not my time to do this, or that’s above my pay grade. One of the things that always haunted me during the Biden administration was watching Matt Miller, the State Department spokesperson, who would get up in front of the world nearly every day and lie on behalf of Israel, lie and protect their genocide. And I had this understanding of how that system works. Even if, say, the Holy Mother had appeared to Matt Miller in his dreams at night, and he had resigned the next day, the State Department would simply put out an email, and within hours, there would be a hundred people from the State Department lined up to take Matt Miller’s job. We are in a situation here where we are dealing with the realities, the historical, through all human civilisation, of the lust for power, of the lust to be proximate to power… This idea of who in the State Department is standing up for any semblance of what is right, or on any degree of principle? And you just don’t see that. And I think this is something that will continue to allow the American empire

"WAKE UP, America. It's time to take this country back from these corrupt politicians." One of 2 veterans while being removed from Congress by security, after protesting the US’ role in Israel’s genocide in Gaza. America woke up, the public has been disgusted by Israel and the US’ assistance in committing genocide. But the fatigue of seeing nothing change and the American government continue to support Israel’s barbarism, alongside the increasing fear of persecution and personal economic problems of many Americans, has meant mass protests against the hated war on Iran have been nowhere to be seen.

RAF Fairford: A ‘planned Iranian attack’…with no explosives in possession of the suspects who were released on bail? Former CIA Operations Officer Charles Finfrock: ‘I was very surprised when they released the five suspects, all British nationals 23 to 25, when they released them on bail. I wasn’t surprised by the broad strokes or the contours. Iran has used unconventional warfare and surrogates to conduct attacks, you know, for years, particularly in Europe. Iran fired, you know, ballistic missiles at Guam. They have attacked all of the other nations that are supporting the offensive against Iran, and they have warned the UK that if they continue to support the operations by allowing US basing rights out of the UK, that that would be a legitimate military target. So everything lines up to looking like a traditional surrogate-based Operation… 23 to 25-year-old men, we would call those military-age males, would be right in that zone where of gray warfare where the Iranians have recruited people like that to act as surrogates in naval operations around Europe.’ Afshin: ‘There were no explosives.’ Finfrock: ‘No explosives, although there was gasoline involved, and what these people actually knew they were doing or who they were doing it on behalf of. I think that’s been the most interesting thing of the gray zone operations, whether it’s Russians or Iranians recruiting surrogates online that they’ve never met, never trained, that may or may not know who they’re doing something on behalf of. So this one has a lot of questions. I’ve got a lot of questions about this one.’ Watch the full interview on Monday’s Going Underground, don’t miss it, follow us on X and follow our Rumble channel: https://rumble.com/v7gdd92-ex-cia-operations-officer-challenged-by-afshin-rattansi-on-ukraine-iran-syr.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp_a

RAF Fairford: Was it a FALSE FLAG? Ex-CIA Operations Officer Charles Finfrock: ‘There’s some aspects of this that remind me of a really successful internal security operation, where they’ve penetrated the cell, where they’re following the investigation, following the operation very closely, and they stop it before it can become dangerous. The FBI has done this wonderfully several times in the US where they’re able to put somebody inside and stop something like this before it even gets close to being active. And so I don’t see it as a false flag. I wouldn’t see what the benefit of a false flag there would be. But this to me strikes me as a real operation that had been covered well on both sides of the Atlantic and now we’re trying to get our story straight about explaining how much we knew about it and when and where and why. And sometimes these things that you’ve seen, they come off looking very ham-handed because we’ve been so involved in the investigation, so we don’t let it evolve to the point of actually having a working bomb.’ Afshin Rattansi: ‘And they all get released on bail anyway.’ Watch the full interview: https://rumble.com/v7gdd92-ex-cia-operations-officer-challenged-by-afshin-rattansi-on-ukraine-iran-syr.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp_a

Afshin Rattansi challenges ex-CIA Operations Officer: ‘The CIA has admitted to SO MANY false flags.’ Charles Finfrock: ‘We’re not really into false flags that would engender some kind of operation. That’s just not something we do. You know we collect information, yes. We run counterintelligence operations and we conduct covert action at the direction of the President.’ Afshin Rattansi: ‘Historically, at last, the CIA has admitted so many false flags. They’ve admitted in 2013 to the Iranian Operation Ajax when they overthrew the government of Iran. Cuba Operation Northwoods, Gulf of Tonkin, of course in Vietnam, Operation Gladio. They still haven’t admitted to the Piazza Fontana or Bologna station bombings, but some officers have said they were responsible for bombings across Europe to blame on left-wing groups.’ Watch the full interview: https://rumble.com/v7gdd92-ex-cia-operations-officer-challenged-by-afshin-rattansi-on-ukraine-iran-syr.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp_a

‘The WikiLeaks Vault 7 revelations showed the CIA has the capability to stage cyber false flags by hacking computers and implicating Russia, China, and Iran.’ —Afshin Rattansi challenging former CIA Operations Officer Charles Finfrock Finfrock: ‘I’m familiar with the Vault 7 disclosures. I mean, that was an insider that stole and leaked that material from us. And it’s normal for any sophisticated cyber actor to work in different languages to help cover, you know, the operations you’re conducting. So to the extent that it had Chinese language capability or Russian language capability, trying to pin blame on an operation for them isn’t necessarily the goal. The goal is to hide the operation and make it so that it doesn’t appear that, you know, you were behind it, but not necessarily to expose it. I mean, the goal of a cyber operation like that’s not to expose it.’ Afshin: ‘So it wasn’t to use it to make people go, “Look, it’s obviously an Iranian terror plot, or Iranian hack”?’ Finfrock: ‘Yeah, something along those lines.’ Afshin: ‘It can be seen both ways, obviously, because that’s circumstantial. It can be used the other way.’ Watch the full interview: https://rumble.com/v7gdd92-ex-cia-operations-officer-challenged-by-afshin-rattansi-on-ukraine-iran-syr.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp_a

CIA Whistleblower John Kiriakou on the Vault 7 revelations brought to us by WikiLeaks: ‘There was a dramatic leak in 2017 that the CIA came to call the Vault 7 disclosures, gigabytes worth of documents leaked by a CIA technology engineer. What he told us was that the CIA can intercept anything from anyone. They can remotely take control of your car to make you drive off a bridge into a tree to make you kill yourself and make it look like an accident. They can take over your smart television and turn the speaker into a microphone so that they can listen to what's being said in the room even when the TV is turned off.’

‘The CIA was working with AL QAEDA in Syria.’ —Afshin Rattansi challenges former CIA Operations Officer Charles Finfrock Afshin: ‘You surely knew the CIA was helping Al Qaeda in Syria.’ Finfrock: ‘We were working with a lot of disparate elements to try to…’ Afshin: ‘You were working with Al Qaeda, not disparate elements. You must have been working with them.’ Finfrock: ‘We were working with a lot of disparate elements there, and obviously our goal wasn’t to work with any sworn Al Qaeda members. As you’re working with a lot of different organisations, there’s going to be some people coming in. But we spent a lot of time screening anybody that we were working with to make sure they didn’t have that extremist affiliation… There were people that were supported and people that weren’t supported. And sometimes the support may slip between lines, but certainly not wittingly working with any Al Qaeda members for any objective in Syria or anywhere else for that matter.’ Afshin: ‘That doesn’t really square though with Jake Sullivan writing to Hillary Clinton, then Secretary of State, saying Al Qaeda is on our side in Syria.’ Finfrock: ‘What were Al Qaeda’s goals in Syria, or the Islamic extremists’ goals in Syria? It was to get rid of Assad… Jake Sullivan saying, look, these guys are on our side. Not that we’re supporting them, not that we’re working with them, but we’ve got aligned goals. That would make sense. But I would say to suggest that we were on the side of or working with Al Qaeda is completely different than we have common interests. We’ve had common interests with people that we have no common interests with at all in the past. That’s not unusual. But that’s a far cry from us providing support and direction and guidance and weapons to them.’ Watch the full interview: https://rumble.com/v7gdd92-ex-cia-operations-officer-challenged-by-afshin-rattansi-on-ukraine-iran-syr.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp_a

DEBATE: CIA’s role in the Maidan Coup Afshin Rattansi: ‘What do you make of all those allegations about CIA involvement in the Maidan in Ukraine, in Kiev, the shots that were coming from the Hotel Ukraine? This preceded the famous leaked phone call of Victoria Nuland to Geoffrey Pyatt choosing who was to lead Ukraine and basically a U.S. takeover of that country.’ Ex-CIA Operations Officer Charles Finfrock: ‘I certainly know from the Russian perspective that they credit us with the Maidan Incident in the colour revolutions. It’s long been the US’ policy to support democracy overseas, but not at the point of taking a peaceful demonstration and firing rounds into a crowd or something like that. That’s not a US government policy. Hell, I’m thinking about going blind with the paperwork if anyone we were associated with was involved in that kind of activity, not under our direction, the congressional inquiries and the legal steps that we would have to go through. That’s just not what we do.’ Watch the full interview: https://rumble.com/v7gdd92-ex-cia-operations-officer-challenged-by-afshin-rattansi-on-ukraine-iran-syr.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp_a

Did Israel deliberately start the war on Iran to expel the US from the Middle East? —Afshin Rattansi asks former CIA Operations Officer Charles Finfrock Finfrock: ‘No, I can’t imagine that would have been. The Israeli war effort was the same as our war effort, and that is to deny the Iranians a nuclear weapon, right? To degrade their defenses. Now, yes, they struck our bases and our bases have suffered some losses. But if you compare it to the losses that have been suffered by the Iranians, to their navy that is at the bottom of the ocean, to their aircraft that are decimated, to their ballistic missiles, to their nuclear program, we’ve got money and we’ll rebuild. We’re going to have to reconsider whether we want to put the bases at potential harm, but we’re in the process of rebuilding, and the Iranians not so much.’ Afshin: ‘I don’t think there’s any rebuilding going on at the moment, and I don’t know what the countries in the region think about them not so much offering protection, but as making their countries targets, surely.’ Watch the full interview: https://rumble.com/v7gdd92-ex-cia-operations-officer-challenged-by-afshin-rattansi-on-ukraine-iran-syr.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp_a
