If I've learned anything from the past 10 years, it's that all those movies that showed the CIA as all-powerful and really calling all the shots were bullshit. This dude would have gotten a bad Big Mac in 2015 if they were accurate.

Holy fuck this is actual CIA torture.

‘Resistance fighters’ videos are coming out all of a sudden. Looks like CIA heavily involved and either planned this for the weekend with militias or they are organic. Either way this changes everything

Catman873

Yeah trumps only options at this point are to either end this on his own and find a way to spin defeat to his base, which is something he could definitely do. Or full on ground invasion. Iran is calling him over and over again. He has the same strategy; Move troops into position while “negotiating” as a scare tactic, when you don’t do what he wants you to do he either builds those troops or sends them in. Doing this over and over again gives Iran time to build their defenses and just drag the negotiations out. You don’t position ground troops while actively negotiating because it gives the other country time to build defenses and prepare a plan. I hate to say it because Russia, but you kind of do what Russia did and place your troops and then just fucking do it. The fact the trump admin is doing shit as they go tells me they have no real plan. If I know that then I’d assume the Iranians know too. What did trump tell Zelenskyy? “You don’t have the cards!”. Yeah, trump doesn’t have the cards here. Iran will not open up that strait and it’s already causing global ramifications that won’t just go away if we leave. France just declared an energy crisis and they’re saying that 30% - 40% of Gulf energy infrastructure has been destroyed or damaged. Pair that with the closing of the strait and the global energy supply will be not doing good even if we leave now. This entire “concept of a plan” was fucking stupid. The joint chiefs knew it and the fucking CIA. When the CIA, the kings of overthrowing foreign governments, tells you this is a bad idea, you should really listen to them. All we’ve done is cause a global energy crisis, force our allies to buy more energy from Russia even though Russia is actively invading their neighbor. We’ve separated ourselves further from NATO. We have dead US Service members, hundreds wounded, and the new supreme leader of Iran is the SON of the guy we killed. We just guaranteed Iran will be an enemy for the foreseeable future. Not to mention our allies and countries we’ve been trying to strengthen relations with have zero reason to trust us and may back out of future talks because We The People of the United States are bipolar af. The US voters dug their geopolitical grave and now they’re going to have to lay in it. They wanted a guy who would “dismantle the status quo” and I guess in a way he’s done that, only it’s not exactly panning out the way they thought it would.

Wouldn’t that be more CIA or DIA?

ShittyUsernane1222

the only thing which could save the markets would be JPOW ominously schizo-posting about "Patriots returning to control" while unmarked military vehicles and special forces from Langley move towards the White House and Congress while CIA, NSA, DIA director mysteriously disappear to handle "domestic affairs regarding the United States" and "improve market confidence".

blacksheepaz

The question of which specific heads were in charge is not that significant. One of the main reasons for the success of the 9/11 plot was the CIA’s failure to disclose to the FBI the entry into the U.S. of several of the hijackers around 18 months before the attack, which was based on a longstanding tradition called “the wall” by which the agencies would stonewall each other for various reasons. One of the main reasons was that information disclosed to the FBI would be considered fair game for criminal prosecution, and thus be subject to being made public. The book “The Looming Tower” by Lawrence Wright does a good job of explaining this.

“The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) briefed US President Donald Trump on the possibility that Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei could be gay, the president confirmed in a Thursday interview”

DisaffectedLShaw

My step dad was struggling to understand why Ali Khamenei wasn’t in some secure bunker as the Russian’s had hacked the Iran traffic camera network and told them that they can see the CIA and Isreal both had hacked them as well. I had to explain that Khamenei was like “if it’s my time it’s Allah’s will”. They have managed to make even the most liberal areas of Iran support the current government. I mean every country will tend to support their leader when under attack, but Iran’s one will happy die and become martyred.

idkuhhhhhhh5

I wasn’t calling you a trump supporter, none of that was related to my point. Think of it like this, MAGA hardliners are entirely delusional, so we can compare it to this. Imagine someone is developing schizophrenia, and is actively seeing a doctor about it. Then, someone out of nowhere starts convincing them that therapy is somehow harmful. They tell them the voices are real, the government and gangstalkers are surveilling them, and their neighbor is a CIA plant. Even if that person was making progress, albeit slowly, that progress can be erased very quickly. MAGA is a movement born out of paranoia of some spooky “deep state” skapegoats, and decades of conspiracies that are about putting conservatives/white people into camps. [I’m serious](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FEMA_camps_conspiracy_theory). So, imagine the above situation is changed around to reflect on its similarities. A MAGA hardliner has been watching trump royally fuck up the economy and foreign relations. A lot of those people are being pushed back into considering centrism by the incompetence of Trump. Just like the schizo, they’re making progress over time. Then, someone comes in and posts about how they want that MAGA supporter to be in camps, and you remember the FEMA conspiracy. It would serve as a progress reset button, it makes it so MAGA people are hard to pull out of MAGA, and the only real way is over a long time. Then you validate their delusion. They will just go further right.

Simply that the head of intelligence, CIA, FBI, etc. would have been different people under Gore who may have picked up on the plot. I also recall hearing that warnings of an attack occurred prior to 9/11. Again, there it's purely conjecture but certainly a possibility, hence the maybe.

modder9

It was a CIA/MI6 joint operation to coup their prime minister and reinstall the Shah* But still, attacking their Muslim neighbors(and the US bases they host) was purely to cause financial pain (not that they all get along great anyway). I wouldn’t insult their IQ, the regime has tons of leadership with PhDs and they are a highly educated people(more-so before the revolution, but they aren’t animals). I sold 127 SPY shares into the AH pump today to exit at a minuscule profit, but I want to have cash for tomorrow because I think we’re gonna see 630.

> Because if the US leaves them in power they'll just keep slaughtering their citizens and funding terrorism. That's literally what we did to Iran the last time we regime changed it decades ago.  Including the fake CIA-orchestrated protests. > Shaping the crowds on Tehran’s streets proved critical to the operation. The CIA organized demonstrators to pose as pro-shah protesters, including paying individuals to chant slogans and confront Mossadegh supporters. > These orchestrated demonstrations climaxed on Aug. 19, 1953, when pro-shah forces and sympathetic leaders in the Iranian military – with CIA financial and logistical backing – seized key points of the country, confronted Mossadegh loyalists and helped topple his government.

I don’t give a shit about upvotes. How are you advocating for liberation of the Iranian people, when the vast minority of Iranians are rallying in opposition of the massive destruction of their country and the murder of their people right now? This isn’t about Trump. This is about Israel and its murderous extremist agenda. Iran posed no threat to us and there is no justification for this war. Stop regurgitating propaganda. What happened in January was incited by CIA/Mossad. Hundreds of police officers, volunteers, and civilians were killed because of the rioters. All the names of the people who died in the riots were released. The propagandists claiming 40k people were killed have released no evidence as with all the Zionist media claims to support their evil agendas.

I could push back by saying something like: "I truly believe the CIA and Mossad provided guns and starlink terminals to their assets in Iran during the protests with the intent of changing the protests into a violent revolution. Those assets murdered police in Tehran and shot indiscriminately into the crowds of innocent Iranian protesters. Many of the deaths were caused by these foreign backed, armed agitators. The Iranian government tried to get control of the situation and I truly believe it was not the government's intent to kill people." that's the kind of conversation this is

The guy he talked to in iran was definitely a CIA agent with major bets in

Ill_Ground_1572

And don't forget, Iran has been preparing for this since the 90s. Although I would love to see Iran as a democracy (they are very generally advanced people with a rich history), Iran was always considered a major opponent given its massive size, 90 million people, it's geography (mountains, dessert and ocean) and strategic planning. And this is the perfect example of the problems that arise when the president surrounds himself with incompetent synchophants. They do stupid fucking shit. And Iran literally has the fire power to wipe out most of the GCC infrastructure. If they target desalination plants, we would have a major humanitarian crisis as most cities can't survive more than days. And if Trump is dumb enough to put boots on the ground, it's going to get messy. Especially on Kharg Island. And in that clip is also Scott Ritter former CIA who played a central role in Iraq...he is even 10x more critical of the US attack than the Iranian professor lol. Though Ritter has a very checkered history.

Key_Journalist_3698

The Guardian ran this piece claiming that there are in fact back channel chats between Iran and Pakistan and Egypt, who are in turn talking to the US.

Wait are we talking about the CIA reestablishing their drug routes to America….?

Esoldier22

MEF isn't really as significant as people seem to think. They are primarily used as a RRF/QRF/IRF. I am assuming they are being sent to be able to respond to possible threats against US bases in the region. They could possibly be used for special limited ground operations. But ~5,000 marines is nowhere near the invasion force people seem to claim it is. Just for comparisons - Our invasion force for Iraq in 2003 was roughly 160,000 US Troops + about 100,000 allied troops. Our invasion force for Iraq in 1990 was roughly 500,000. Our invasion force for Panama in 1988 was roughly 26,000 and we already had military personnel stationed there. Not saying it won't get to that point, we're just very very far away still. We did invade Afghanistan with only about 2,000 personnel but it was much more of a special operations/CIA working with groups already established inside of Afghanistan. Even a regime change operation would need significant US personnel because there aren't already-established militant groups like there were on Afghanistan.

WashU_labrat

If they have classified information, then I'm sure the CIA and FBI will be very initerested.

ResplendentSmoke

They do, but it’s a well-documented fact that the older guys that were in leadership before the war, like Khamenei and Larinjani were moderating forces. They were the people who wanted to negotiate, they were the people who consistently sought off-ramps whenever conflicts would flare up with the West. The CIA’s own assessment that leaked like 2 days before the war started stated that decapitation strikes wouldn’t work, because the guys waiting to fill those roles were ideological hardliners. Guys who are more willing to say “Well, we’ll eat the airstrikes and a few thousand dead in Tehran for now if it means we can inflict enough pain on the West that they never try this again.”

ResplendentSmoke

I agree with you on most of this, but it’s a documented fact that the leadership that has been assassinated like the previous Ayatollah and Ali Larijani were moderating forces who, in the past flare ups, have been the ones to consistently take the off-ramps and deescalate. Like hitting pre-arranged spots with warning to the US in advance. They’re the ones who push for negotiations, they’re the ones who instituted the fatwa against building a nuclear weapon. I agree with you that Israel is the belligerent aggressor. Israel knows the previous leaders were the moderates, and knows the subordinate commanders are much more hardline. Which is why they assassinated all the people who’d be more willing to negotiate and de-escalate. Because they want this to spiral out of control to the point the US has no option but to commit fully. I agree that Iran has no choice but self-defense. I think the surviving leadership of the IRGC being more hardline and zealous is a large reason *why* they’ve been willing to take unprecedented steps in that defense like closing the Strait. I think Khamenei would’ve tried to find an de-escalation point by now. Because again, it’s been widely reported both in Western press that the IRGC guys in charge now are more zealous than they were before. This was the assessment of the CIA before the war even started and why they were advising against any decapitation strikes. Clearly they lost that internal battle and that’s why they leaked their assessment to the Wall Street Journal like 2 days before the first strikes. Of course they don’t *want* to die. I never said they did. But the truth is that being martyred by the West in a righteous war of defense is how they’d probably *choose* to die if they had to. Which is why it’s going to be very hard to negotiate with them. The threat is existential and they have nothing to lose.

fnaciaman

Oh right when Mossad and CIA backed militias entered Iran with full military kits and started firefights in the streets. Many of the dead people were police. If you believe that 30k number I bet you also still believe the Gaza death tolls are just shy of 50k. Even the young liberal Iranians know this is bullshit.

exegenes1s

There were no tens of thousands who died, that was blasted from Israeli media to try and drum up a causus belli for this unprovoked war that we now know was coming. Definitely people died, but there were CIA/Mossad provocateurs.

Muted-Alternative648

Hamas was originally founded as an Islamic resistance movement against unjust Israeli occupation in Palestine. The region has a long history of corruption and violence, so naturally all of the groups that became "popular" for liberation were militant groups. Iran has it's own problems. The USA led a CIA-backed coup to install the Shah in Iran to expand western influence in the region. In backfired horribly, as one could imagine, and in 1979 Iran was radicalized against western involvement including Israel. In both cases, the region would be better off today if Israel (and the USA, for that matter) just stopped meddling in affairs. Of course, Israel has been locked in a centuries old dispute over territory and religion. I find it to be counterproductive to point fingers at one side or the other for "who started it". That being said, Israel has only recently been committing straight up genocide in Gaza with reports suggesting over 70% of structures destroyed and the city is pretty much uninhabitable. Therefore, I stand by what I said. Israel has done far more harm to Gaza.

TraditionClassic1288

There were no protesters, for the first days, yes from the bazaars, working people but when it turned to violence,they all condemned it. You had people with guns shooting cops and protesters and burning more than 250 mosques while filming it. If it happened in the US it would be the same response against those foreign backed terrorists helped by the Mossad (even the Israeli government admitted it) and CIA, mike Pompeo admitted too….

modder9

Cry? I laugh at the failures of America and the Zionist project. Iran would be better off if the CIA hadn’t intervened in the 50’s. If you were iranian(you aren’t) you’d know that.

Applies to Iran. They elected a prime minister in the 50’s, but he was going to nationalize oil so the CIA coup him and installed the Shah (king).

No he’s really chill, seems like an alright level. I don’t know him on a personal level but we definitely talk about what’s going on and he has family still there. And obviously he used to work in customs so he might have some government point of contact’s as well. He doesn’t seem too have any good thing to say about the Iranian regime but he and I also know the history of Iran. Democratically elected Mosaddegh disposed by a CIA coup and install a ruthless dictator that brought the 1979 Islamic revolution to be. Iran is Shia. They are religious, and practice the mindset of martyrdom. The IRGC seems to be in control, the new ayatollah might just be a puppet. The IRGC are religious fanatics that practice martyrdom. equivalent to the Japanese in WW2. They will take everyone down with them. Last man standing type of shit. They do not care about stock market, materialistic bullshit like 🥭 does. They don’t have that pressure at all and they know this

Independent-Cloud822

This is essentially correct. tactical military victories do not always translate to regime change . The USA was in Vietnam for 18 years and Afghanistan for 20 years and killed a lot of people and dropped a lot of bombs but did not achieve regime change. Trump fell into the same trap Kennedy fell into in April of 1966 when his advisors convinced him that the Castro regime would collapse if he just allowed a CIA backed invasion of Cuban dissidents to land at the Bay of Pigs. The USA is unlikely to achieve a regime change in Iran. Iran wins just by hanging on. The questions is: how will this effect markets?

I agree from both a cultural and historical context many presidents have made terrible decisions Banana Republics, CIA interventions, coups, multiple illegal and offensive wars define America completely agree. I'm not saying the presidents didn't invade because they weren't warmongers it was because they couldn't achieve the goals without a ton of Americans dieing or dealing with political fallout that would come almost immediately. "I'd kill you if I could" is still shitty it was a cold calculation on most of their parts not because they're good people. 

runhillsnotyourmouth

Look, Iran ain't our friend.. but do you think they just woke up one morning and decided to hate us? This goes back to the 50's when the CIA overthrew a democratically elected PM and replaced him with a puppet pro-Western monarch, who implemented anti-Islamic policies that were viewed by as oppressive by those who would eventually lead the revolution of 1979. So imagine China rolled in, took out the American president and installed a king that decided the constitution was fallacy and started implementing pro-Chinese policies. You'd be angry too.

Yes. The Israeli and zionists have always been in charge of the US's policy since the creation of Israel. In the long history of the CIA, they always say to never invite an Israeli to your home because they will spy on you. According to CIA agents, the Mossad has the most espionage programs against the US of all allied nations. The CIA found out that over 200+ FBI agents were compromised by the Mossad. This is why we have so many FBI/CIA leaks in the last 2 decades. They leaked information to influence the US to stay in the Middle East. There is a lot of Zionists in the US government and media. The media tries to hide this issue disappear by making any issue/talk about Israel into a racism issue. They control so much power in the world, so how can there be racism against these zionists? This is why we are in this war. The Zionists and the Israeli Mossad control the US government with blackmails. With Trump in power, they have all the dirt that is even dirtier than the Epstein's files.

metamorphosis

It's not impossible. It requires organisation and dissent. French Revolution. Russian revolution. Every single coup in 20th and 21st century doesn't happen only by the will of people. There is machinery that supports it. Sure foreign intervention helps but only to the degree. It required Ground Troops to topple Saddam. With Lybia, half the country was already in arms when Gadddafi was toppled. There was an entire echelon of high ranking officials that defected including interior ministry and generals . There were already tribal rivalries that existed since the foundation of Lybia. CIA on the ground advising rebel groups. When the regime was officially toppled the change on the ground already happened months ago. E.g. Benghazi uprising . The coalition air support began only after full on rebellion offensive started Iran is not even close to that level of destabilization.

AInception

Calling everyone over 30 around you a bot is the most dumbass thing you can do. The US already forced a 'change' in the 50s when the CIA ran a coup over there. Then the US spent 20 years teaching them about nuclear technology and all the ways to use it. Finally, Obama got them to sign a nuclear deal. Then Trump tore that deal up right before bombing them explicitly for not having a nuclear deal in place. It's actually retarded to think they'd want the US world police and especially Trump to come liberate them, again. The first time is what led directly to this. They aren't goldfish.

I like how iranians are supposed to be our sworn enemy but if you look at their history we just constantly fuck with them and are supposed to quietly ignore all that, otherwise were not patriots.  If you look at history we're really just clearing out the middle east for Israels promised land: 1) 1953 the CIA led a coup resulting in overthrowing Iran's elected goverment, which would help pave the way for the regime that is in power today. 2) We backed Saddam's iraq in the 80s against iran resulting in 500k Iranian deaths. We knew he was using biological and chemical weapons but didnt make a peep. Almost everyone there has personally lost someone from that war. 3) We backed afghanistan against the russians, who when we later abandoned became the Taliban that later attacked us on 9/11. 4) We then were done using Saddam so we overthrew him on false pretenses, laying the ground work for ISIS the destroy syria and kill millions. Now were trying another regime change in iran, because it didnt go our way last time. This time mango said were openly putting in leadership that is best for US and Israeli interests. They deserve it though, they just attack israel and US interests because they are jealous of our bacon. Why dont they fight like men and attack in open fields against the strongest military in the world so we can pick them off like fish in a barrel? Cowards Anyway buy puts, then by mid or end of week buy calls for the bounce on cope.

That's ridiculous. The CIA doesn't do those kinds of investigations. That's Kash Patel's bag, baby.

So.....I hear that Tucker Carlson is being investigated by the CIA for being a spy for Iran. I guess anything is possible....wasn't Chuck Barris (Gong Show Guy) a hit man for the CIA? LOL

They had student protests relating to workers rights, corruption transparency, anti-immigration sentiments, and economic stresses related to inflation and limited job prospects for graduates due to challenges diversifying its economy at a time when China was relatively weak. These protests were triggered by the death of General Secretary Hu Yaobang, the leader of the CCP at the time of his death. These student protests escalated into conflicts with military riot control police. Contrary to popular belief those military police weren't there to gun down protestors or run them down in tanks and the famous photograph associated with that belief shows a tank that is clearly stopped because that wasn't their reason for being there, and for most of the duration of the month and half of protests their primary task outwardly at least were crowd control. The protests reportedly drew approximately 1 million people over the space of the month and a half of protesting but on the day the clashes started happening the number of protestors there was in the ballpark of 50000 to 100000, The clashes resulted in deaths including both military police and protestors in reported ranges from 300 to 2700 death, and approximately 5000 police injured and 2000 protestors injured. There was also a substantial amount of looting, arson and assault of business owners and their staff. It's also commonly acknowledge that the US was stoking the flames of unrest to undermine the CCP as it tended to do (and continues to do) in communist and socialist countries. Overtly through US owned radio stations in China like 'Voice of America', Western NGOs like the New York based 'Chinese Alliance for Democracy' who directly funded the student protests, as well the through intelligence networking efforts to infiltrate and influence/undermine government institutions, particularly liaisons between the CIA and MI6 with Chinese institutions including the Economic Restructuring Commission (since merged into the National Development and Reform Commission in 2003) who had been conducting such operations as early as 1980. That's essentially what happened in Tiananmen Square in 1989.

this is bullshit. Iran is \*always\* open to negotiations. But currently not with USA or Israel, because that makes no fucking sense. They are negotiating with EU for a sidedeal and EU pressuring USA and Israel to stop the aggression. Why should Iran seriously negotiate with Trump again?! He used the last negotiations to bomb. There is no game-theoretic logic for Iran to assume anything but maximum damage can increase their negotiation-position in the face of Trump. Only trumps allies begging him to stop this shit is going to help iran - so they do exactly press for that: Destroy everything that is allied with the US in the whole region, until the US finally grasp that this is not a war that is economically feaseable. (WHO COULD HAVE KNOWN THAT POSSIBLE BEFORE? SURELY NOT THE CIA AND EVERY FUCKIN NATION IN EU OR IN GENERAL)

Honestly the podcaster Andrew Bustamai said that the war is likely to last two years. He is a former CIA officer. I don't see stocks bouncing back any time soon

Have you seen the recent interviews where the lead singer suggests the CIA shut down Rock in the US? Fun rabbit hole

Wait why would an index be able to copy his returns? The theory was that he'd produced outsized returns by being so smart and savvy and careful and so on. No one would expect an index to copy his returns, especially if you're right about him having inside info. That said, I've always wondered if he was somehow connected to the CIA.

>Right now I assume revolutionists are going on strike and not manning the other facilities either. Unfortunately this war has had the opposite effect. I believe its taken the legs out of the opposition. Its been a unifying force against an existential threat(i.e. schools and hospitals immediately struck by US/ISR, black rain on Tehran). This is predictable, demonstrated repeatedly throughout history. Moreso now after assassinating the ayatollah. You could hate your leader but you might not prefer aliens take over. CIA, Pew research place the Shia population in Iran at 90-95%. This makes Iran the largest Shia majority nation in the world. ​The word 'Ayatollah' itself means "Sign of God". To the loyalists, he is the "Shadow of God on Earth" and attacking him is seen as a direct attack on God. ​ And Iran is not a monolith. There is a sharp disconnect between how Iranians view the "Supreme Leader" and how they view the IRGC. Before the war, it was common to hear Iranians say "the leader is being misled by the IRGC" or "the IRGC has taken the ayatollah hostage." Some blamed the IRGC for the corruption and the poverty, while not blaming the Ayatollah. Its complicated. So killing the Ayatollah wasn't ever the right move. He was 86 years old, he had cancer turns out, and we just textbook martyred him in the framework of their religion.
