CIA Propaganda SHUT DOWN By Journalist In Real Time | The Kyle Kulinski Show

00:00
matt lee is uh an associated press
00:04
foreign policy correspondent or state
00:06
department uh journalist and
00:09
he
00:11
really questioned this guy ned price the
00:13
state department spokesperson very
00:14
aggressively over this new claim that’s
00:16
emerged
00:17
that
00:18
we now know russia is planning a false
00:20
flag attack uh to invade ukraine and
00:25
you know therefore it’s like
00:28
basically whatever the us wants to do in
00:29
response is justified because we we
00:32
didn’t start it we didn’t do anything we
00:33
didn’t do anything wrong here and so if
00:36
we want to deploy troops to the border
00:38
tens of thousands of them if we want to
00:40
have the tanks ready to go
00:42
if we want to do sanctions not just of
00:44
the oligarchs but even russian civilians
00:46
hey don’t question us we’re telling you
00:49
we we know we have the smoking gun
00:50
evidence that they’re gonna do a false
00:52
flag attack and we need to be prepared
00:54
for that so this journalist has been
00:56
around the block
00:57
and he’s going to do a very simple thing
00:59
he’s going to ask for evidence and look
01:00
at how comical this back and forth is uh
01:03
we told you a few weeks ago that we have
01:05
information indicating russia also has
01:07
already pre-positioned a group of
01:09
operatives to conduct a false flag
01:11
operation in eastern ukraine so that map
01:13
to your question is an action that
01:15
russia has already taken it’s an action
01:17
that you say that they have taken but
01:19
you have shown no evidence to
01:22
to to confirm that and i’m going to get
01:24
to the next question here which is what
01:26
is the evidence that they i mean this is
01:28
like crisis actors really this is like
01:31
alex jones territory you’re getting it
01:32
too now
01:34
um what evidence do you have to support
01:36
the idea that there is some propaganda
01:39
film in the in in the making
01:41
now this is derived uh from information
01:44
known to the us government intelligence
01:46
information that we have declassified i
01:48
think okay well where is it where is
01:50
this information it is intelligence
01:52
information that we have declassified
01:54
well where is it where is the
01:55
declassified information i just
01:57
delivered it
01:59
look no you made a series of allegations
02:02
would you like us to print out the
02:03
topper because you will see a transcript
02:05
of this briefing that you can print out
02:06
for yourself it’s not evidence ned
02:08
that’s you saying it that’s not evidence
02:10
i’m sorry
02:13
what would you like matt
02:14
i i would like to see some proof that
02:16
you that that
02:18
that you can show
02:20
that
02:20
that matt
02:22
that shows that that that shows that the
02:24
russians are doing this ned i’ve been
02:26
doing this i know that was my passion
02:29
you have been doing this for quite a
02:30
while you know that when we declassify
02:31
intelligence information we do so in a
02:34
means
02:43
where is the declassified information
02:45
other than you coming out here and
02:47
saying
02:48
matt i’m sorry you don’t like the format
02:50
uh but we have
02:51
format it’s the content i’m sorry you
02:53
don’t like the content i’m sorry you i’m
02:56
sorry you are doubting the information
02:57
that is in the possession of the us
02:59
government
03:00
what i’m telling you is that this is
03:01
information that’s available to us we
03:03
are making it available to you uh in
03:05
order uh for a couple reasons one is to
03:08
attempt to deter the russians from going
03:10
ahead with this activity two in the
03:12
event we’re not able to do that in the
03:14
event the russians do go ahead with us
03:16
to make it clear as day to lay bear the
03:18
fact that this has always been an
03:20
attempt on the part of the russian
03:21
federation to fabricate a pretext
03:25
yeah but you don’t have any
03:28
any evidence to back it up other than
03:30
what you’re saying
03:31
it’s like you’re saying
03:32
we think we we have
03:34
information the russians may do this
03:37
but you won’t tell us what the
03:39
information is and then when when you’re
03:41
that is the idea behind deterrence that
03:43
is
03:59
moving forward with this type of
04:00
activity that is why we’re making it
04:02
public today if the russians don’t go
04:04
forward with this that is not uh ipso
04:07
facto an indication that they never had
04:08
plans to do so uh but then it’s
04:11
unprovable
04:12
my god what is the evidence that you
04:14
have that suggests that that the
04:16
russians are even planning this i mean
04:17
i’m not saying that they’re not but you
04:19
just come out and say this and expect us
04:21
just to to believe it without you
04:24
showing a shred of evidence that it’s
04:26
actually true other than
04:28
when i ask or what anyone else asks
04:30
what’s the information you said well i
04:32
just gave it to you which was just you
04:34
making a statement matt you said
04:35
yourself you’ve been in this business
04:36
for quite a long time you know that when
04:38
we make information uh intelligence
04:40
information public we do so uh in a way
04:43
that protects sensitive sources and
04:45
methods you also know that we do so we
04:49
declassify information only when we’re
04:51
confident in that information if you
04:53
doubt if you doubt the the credibility
04:55
of the us government of the british
04:57
government uh of other governments and
04:58
want to uh
05:00
you know find uh solace and information
05:02
that uh the russians are putting out uh
05:04
that is that is for you to do so in
05:07
other words you are a russian
05:09
propagandist or a russian stooge or a
05:12
dupe
05:13
um
05:14
or a foreign asset
05:16
because you’re trusting them over us
05:18
when all he’s doing is saying i’m
05:20
agnostic i just want to see your
05:21
evidence if you’re gonna make a claim
05:23
the burden is on you to provide the
05:24
evidence that’s how it works that’s how
05:26
it’s supposed to work but usually the
05:29
rest of the media when they’re state
05:30
department sources or their cia sources
05:32
uh tell them something they’re
05:34
stenographers they take it at face value
05:37
because they’re suckers who are putting
05:39
these positions specifically for that
05:41
reason i’m surprised this ap guy hasn’t
05:43
been fired already because there’s a
05:44
number of times he’s held this slimy
05:47
weasel
05:48
ned price accountable
05:50
and he’s so bad at the job he’s so
05:52
terrible at this he’s like we know that
05:54
the russians are are now doing this
05:56
what’s your evidence i just told you
05:58
that we know that that they’re gonna be
06:00
doing this that’s not evidence that’s
06:02
not evidence now understand something
06:04
just like ned says i’ll say the same
06:05
thing
06:06
i don’t know is it possible that they’re
06:08
going to do that sure
06:09
but this is not an agency that has a
06:12
track record of truth telling in fact
06:14
quite the opposite they have a long
06:16
record of lying about everything
06:18
these are the same people that got us
06:20
into the iraq war now i’m sure some
06:21
people involved in the stuff behind the
06:23
scenes maybe really believe the [ __ ]
06:25
really believe the line of argument and
06:26
so they were acting in good faith even
06:29
though they were wrong but there’s also
06:30
people who might not be who might not be
06:32
acting in good faith who are lying and
06:34
know that they’re lying
06:36
but at the end of the day all that
06:37
matters is whether or not what they’re
06:39
saying is true and what that means we
06:40
should do about it now look i’m on
06:43
record are there certain things that are
06:45
on the table in a negotiation with
06:46
russia that are more like hardline
06:48
approaches absolutely absolutely so for
06:52
one thing
06:53
um the nordstrom 2 pipeline should the
06:55
u.s use that as leverage sure absolutely
06:58
in other words look if we find some sort
07:00
of peace agreement and a way out of this
07:01
then you can have the north stream two
07:03
pipeline if you don’t we’re gonna
07:05
undercut it not let you have it and the
07:07
u.s will sell our natural gas to germany
07:09
and we’ll sell the same price as you
07:10
guys even if it’s at a loss
07:12
that’s one thing you could put on the
07:13
table another thing is uh like it or not
07:16
these nations are sovereign nations that
07:18
were the post-soviet states so
07:22
having them armed so they could defend
07:24
themselves yeah that’s absolutely on the
07:26
table that makes perfect sense they’re
07:27
sovereign nations they get to do that if
07:29
they want to do that now these are
07:30
things that all these things russia
07:32
views as red lines that you can’t do
07:36
no
07:37
don’t agree and that’s the whole point
07:38
of a negotiation now are there other
07:41
parts of the deal that would be
07:42
concessions to russia well yes because
07:43
again that’s part of a negotiation as
07:45
well
07:46
and so
07:47
uh i want peace i want to avoid world
07:49
war iii
07:50
so
07:51
um does that mean we’re not gonna do war
07:53
games on russia’s border anymore with
07:55
nato yes does that mean we’re not gonna
07:56
have missiles pointed directly at russia
07:58
in in an ally state of ours yes
08:01
does that mean that you know uh nato
08:04
should not move an inch closer to
08:05
russia’s border absolutely all those
08:07
things are true but it’s also true that
08:09
other things are on the table but
08:11
what the us government is trying to do
08:12
is lay the groundwork and set the
08:14
preconditions to allow us to do anything
08:18
and play the victim and
08:20
play like we’re acting defensive every
08:21
step of the way but it is the same
08:23
organization that led us into the iraq
08:25
war you know the state department the
08:26
cia if these are the same outlets that
08:28
lied about russiagate relentlessly for
08:30
years straight and they are
08:32
well then you shouldn’t take their word
08:33
for it they need to actually show
08:34
evidence if they have such evidence
08:36
they’re not showing the evidence which
08:37
means they don’t have such evidence
08:38
again that’s not to say it’s impossible
08:40
that russia would do this but you need
08:43
to prove it you need to show it you
08:45
absolutely need to show it and so this
08:46
is a rare instance of a journalist doing
08:48
their job doing their job right
08:51
doing their job effectively and really
08:53
unmasking
08:54
the the little weasel state department
08:56
spokesperson here
08:59
so
09:02
there you have it i really hope that the
09:04
negotiation works and we can find a way
09:06
to back out of this feud because
09:10
in the nuclear age with two
09:11
nuclear-armed states you don’t even want
09:13
to be this close
09:15
to some sort of
09:17
fight
09:19
you don’t
09:20
it’s for the future of humanity it’s a
09:23
necessity that you find a way
09:25
out of this situation
09:27
and you need to use all the negotiation
09:29
skills all the diplomacy in the world
09:31
and you need to be fair-minded and
09:32
reasonable and unfortunately i do not
09:35
trust the us at all to do that i don’t
09:37
really trust russia either
09:39
but i also
09:41
know
09:42
that our government has lied
09:43
relentlessly
09:45
about this stuff and
09:47
finally somebody’s holding them
09:48

Esper Says He Saw No Evidence Iran Targeted 4 Embassies, as Story Shifts Again

The disparity between the defense secretary and President Trump added another twist to an ever-evolving explanation for a strike on an Iranian general that led to the brink of war.

They had to kill him because he was planning an “imminent” attack. But how imminent they could not say. Where they could not say. When they could not say. And really, it was more about what he had already done. Or actually it was to stop him from hitting an American embassy. Or four embassies. Or not.

For 10 days, President Trump and his team have struggled to describe the reasoning behind the decision to launch a drone strike against Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, the commander of Iran’s elite security forces, propelling the two nations to the brink of war. Officials agree they had intelligence indicating danger, but the public explanations have shifted by the day and sometimes by the hour.

On Sunday came the latest twist. Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper said he was never shown any specific piece of evidence that Iran was planning an attack on four American embassies, as Mr. Trump had claimed just two days earlier.

“I didn’t see one with regard to four embassies,” Mr. Esper said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” But he added: “I share the president’s view that probably — my expectation was they were going to go after our embassies. The embassies are the most prominent display of American presence in a country.”

The sharp disparity between the president and his defense secretary only added to the public debate over the Jan. 3 strike that killed Iran’s most important general and whether there was sufficient justification for an operation that escalated tensions with Iran, aggravated relations with European allies and prompted Iraq to threaten to expel United States forces. General Suleimani was deemed responsible for killing hundreds of American soldiers in the Iraq war more than a decade ago, but it was not clear whether he had specific plans for a mass-casualty attack in the near future.

The Trump Administration’s Fluctuating Explanations for the Suleimani Strike

While agreeing that General Suleimani was generally a threat, Democrats in Congress, as well as some Republicans, have said the administration has not provided evidence even in classified briefings to back up the claim of an “imminent” attack, nor has it mentioned that four embassies were targeted. Even some Pentagon officials have said privately that they were unaware of any intelligence suggesting that a large-scale attack was in the offing.

But senior government officials with the best access to intelligence have insisted there was ample cause for concern even if it has not been communicated clearly to the public. Gina Haspel, the director of the C.I.A., and Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — who were both appointed by Mr. Trump but are career officials without a political history — have said privately and forcefully that the intelligence was compelling and that they were convinced a major attack was coming.

The challenge for the Trump administration is persuading the public, which has been skeptical about intelligence used to justify military action since President George W. Bush invaded Iraq in 2003 based on what turned out to be inaccurate intelligence indicating that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.

Mr. Trump himself has made clear in other circumstances that he does not trust the intelligence agencies that he is now citing to justify his decision to eliminate General Suleimani. Moreover, given his long history of falsehoods and distortions, Mr. Trump has his own credibility issues that further cloud the picture. All of which means the administration’s failure to provide a consistent explanation has sown doubts and exposed it to criticism.

“If indeed the strike was taken to disrupt an imminent threat to U.S. persons — and that picture seems to be getting murkier by the minute — the case should be made to Congress and to the public, consistent with national security,” said Lisa Monaco, a former senior F.B.I. official and homeland security adviser to President Barack Obama. “Failure to do so hurts our credibility and deterrence going forward.”

Intelligence officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive data collection, have said there was no single definitive piece of information about a coming attack. Instead, C.I.A. officers described a “mosaic effect,” multiple scraps of information that came together indicating that General Suleimani was organizing proxy forces around the region, including in Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq, to attack American embassies and bases.

Several officials said they did not have enough concrete information to describe such a threat as “imminent,” despite the administration’s assertion, but they did see a worrying pattern. A State Department official has privately said it was a mistake for Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to use the word “imminent” because it suggested a level of specificity that was not borne out by the intelligence.

“I have not seen the intelligence, just to be clear, but it is sometimes possible for the reporting of planned attacks to be very compelling even without specificity of time, target or method,” said John E. McLaughlin, a former acting C.I.A. director. “In a sense, that is the story of 9/11. Our reporting gave us high confidence that a big attack was coming — and we so warned — but we were unable to nail down key details.”

Mr. McLaughlin said that the administration may well have had intelligence adequate to compel action, but that it was a separate question whether killing General Suleimani was the most effective response, as opposed to hardening targets or choosing a less provocative option.

John B. Bellinger III, who was the top lawyer for the National Security Council and later the State Department under Mr. Bush, said the president would have legal authority to strike under the Constitution whether or not there was fear of an imminent attack.

But under the United Nations Charter, the United States cannot use force in another country without its consent or the authority of the Security Council except in response to an armed attack or a threat of an imminent armed attack. “So under international law, the attack on Suleimani would not have been lawful unless he presented an imminent threat,” Mr. Bellinger said.

Claims that an imminent attack could take “hundreds of American lives,” as Mr. Pompeo put it right after the drone strike, have also generated doubts because no attack in the Middle East over the past two decades, even at the height of the Iraq war, has ever resulted in so many American casualties at once in part because embassies and bases have become so fortified.

The contrast in descriptions of what the administration knew and what it did not came in quick succession on a single Fox News show last week.

On Thursday night, Mr. Pompeo, while sticking by his description of an “imminent” attack, acknowledged that the information was not concrete. “We don’t know precisely when and we don’t know precisely where, but it was real,” he told the host, Laura Ingraham.

The next day, in a separate interview, Mr. Trump told Ms. Ingraham that in fact he did know where. “I can reveal that I believe it probably would’ve been four embassies,” he said.

That left administration officials like Mr. Esper in an awkward position when they hit the talk show circuit on Sunday. While the defense secretary revealed on CBS that he had not seen intelligence indicating four embassies were targeted, he sounded more supportive of Mr. Trump’s claim on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“What the president said in regard to the four embassies is what I believe as well,” he said, seeming to make a distinction between belief and specific intelligence. “And he said he believed that they probably, that they could have been targeting the embassies in the region.”

Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” Robert O’Brien, the president’s national security adviser, played down Mr. Trump’s claim of specific, imminent threats to four American embassies in the region.

“Look, it’s always difficult, even with the exquisite intelligence that we have, to know exactly what the targets are,” Mr. O’Brien said. “We knew there were threats to American facilities, now whether they were bases, embassies — you know it’s always hard until the attack happens.”

“But,” he added, “we had very strong intelligence.”

Senator Mike Lee of Utah, one of the administration’s most outspoken Republican critics after the strike, said on CNN that he worried about the quality of the information that national security officials were sharing with Congress and had not “been able to yet ascertain specific details of the imminence of the attack.”

“I believe that the briefers and the president believed that they had a basis for concluding that there was an imminent attack, I don’t doubt that, but it is frustrating to be told that and not get the details behind it,” he said.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi struck a similar tone, telling ABC’s “This Week” that “I don’t think the administration has been straight with the Congress of the United States” about the reasons for killing General Suleimani.

On “Face the Nation,” Representative Adam B. Schiff, Democrat of California and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, accused the president and his top aides of “fudging” the intelligence.

“Frankly, I think what they are doing is overstating and exaggerating what the intelligence shows,” Mr. Schiff said. Officials briefing the so-called Gang of Eight top congressional leaders never said that four embassies were targeted, he added. “In the view of the briefers, there was plotting, there was an effort to escalate being planned, but they didn’t have specificity.”
