Very informative book I just finished reading.
Spyfail: Foreign Spies, Moles, Saboteurs and the Collapse of America’s Counterintelligence
Reviewed by Grant F. Smith
James Bamford’s Spyfail ruffles all the right feathers.
Bamford is best known for his books The Puzzle Palace and The Shadow Factory, both about the National Security Agency. The NSA did not initially know whether to fete or undermine Bamford after he thrust the agency’s secretive activities, such as data mining Americans, into the spotlight.
The CIA is not as indecisive about Spyfail. The agency’s book review in Intelligence in Public Media charges Bamford does not make his case that American counterintelligence has failed, speculating this is due to a pro-Indigenous character flaw: “In his extensive accounts of these undertakings, Bamford’s pro-Palestinian views are striking.”
The Cipher Brief, a website with close ties to the CIA, also argues Bamford treats Israel unfairly: “All intelligence activities are not equally dangerous to U.S. national security…the author’s clear anti-Israeli biases—views abundantly evident in the book—detract from his argument.”
The discomfort expressed by intelligence agencies and aligned media outlets over Spyfail’s well-sourced evidence appears to be a subtle admission Bamford is right.
Exhibit A is the ongoing impunity of Hollywood movie producer and
Israeli spy Arnon Milchan, who has long been engaged in espionage and
weapons smuggling operations targeting the United States. Bamford
chronicles Milchan’s early efforts to bolster Israel’s close ally,
apartheid South Africa, via weapons dealing. Milchan also produced
now-forgotten theatrical flops depicting exploited Black people as happy
with their fate in apartheid South Africa. ..................

Interesting information on the Wellness Company which employs many of the well known dissenters during the Covid madness. Bear in mind that all enterprises or start-ups need either banks or people with deep pockets to finance them. Given that, I have read the article below by Kristin Elizabeth with an open mind.

The Wellness Company
Altruistic alternative healthcare empire, or intelligence operation?
The Wellness Company (TWC) is a one-and-a-half-year-old healthcare venture founded by a Canadian businessman named Foster Coulson. It offers a number of different services and products, ranging from dietary supplements to telehealth. TWC is particularly notable in the context of the COVID-19 crisis due to having some of the dissident health movement’s largest and most well-respected names in the United States and Canada on their leadership team, including Dr. Peter McCullough, Harvey Risch, and Julie Ponnesse.......

History professor, Juan Cole.
As Palestinians Continue to Die, the History of Their Betrayal by the “Free World” Tells Us Why
Juan Cole, a renowned history professor at the University of Michigan and expert on the Middle East and South Asia, joins host Robert Scheer on this episode of the Scheer Intelligence podcast to tackle inconvenient truths ignored by the media in the history of Israel and Palestine. This includes the conflation that criticizing the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians is somehow a form of Holocaust denial. This view of history distorts and whitewashes the deep antisemitic history of Western European culture, Scheer and Cole argue.
Cole describes the history of what came to be the current state of
affairs in Israel and Palestine as a sort of Rube Goldberg machine where
the European-spawned-Holocaust fueled the migration of European Jews to
Palestine and the ouster of the inhabitants there who had nothing to do
with the German-led barbarism against the Jewish people. ....

Special to Consortium News
The World Court ruled on Wednesday that Russia did not finance terrorism in its defense of separatists in Ukraine and the court refused to find Russia guilty of downing Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 as Ukraine had asked.
The case was brought to the ICJ by Ukraine in 2017, three years after the U.S.-backed coup in Kiev overthrew the democratically-elected President Viktor Yanukovych.
When Russian speakers in Donbass rebelled against the unconstitutional change in government that they had voted for, the coup leaders in 2014 launched what it called an “anti-terrorist” military operation to put down the rebellion.
Russia responded by helping ethnic Russians with arms and other military equipment. Ukraine claimed to the court that that was in breach of a treaty barring terrorism financing. ...........

NY Times LIED About October 7th R@pe Story!
The New York Times recently published a piece describing the horrible rape and murder of an Israeli woman who attended the Nova Music Festival that came under attack by Hamas. Except, as her family insisted after the article ran, there is no evidence that the woman was raped and the Times misled family members about the substance of the story.
Jimmy, along with Due Dissidence host Russell Dobular and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger, discuss why the Times would insist on lying about the case and whether such propaganda demonstrates that Israel is losing the media war over Gaza.
The Reasonings by the 2 Dissenting Judges on the ICJ’s Genocide Case by South Africa against Israel
Page 26 of the 29-page ruling has paragraph 85: “The Court deems it necessary to emphasize that all parties to the conflict in the Gaza Strip are bound by international humanitarian law. It is gravely concerned about the fate of the hostages abducted during the attack in Israel on 7 October 2023 and held since then by Hamas and other armed groups, and calls for their immediate and unconditional release.”....

Iraq Repeats Call for US Forces to Withdraw After Baghdad Drone Strike
The Iraqi military says the US is jeopardizing peaceIraq has repeated its call for an end to the US military presence following a US drone strike in Baghdad that killed a senior member of Kataib Hezbollah, a Shia militia that’s part of Iraq’s security forces.
Iraqi military spokesman Yahya Rasool said the US “conducted a blatant assassination through an airstrike in the heart of a residential neighborhood in the capital, Baghdad, showing no regard for civilian lives or international laws.”
Rasool said that by launching the strike, “the American forces jeopardize civil peace, violate Iraqi sovereignty, and disregard the safety and lives of our citizens.”,,,,,,
