  • democracynow.org - On Tuesday morning, President Trump fired Secretary of State Rex Tillerson via Twitter. In the same tweet, the president announced CIA Director Mike Pompeo, who is a close ally of the Koch brothers, would be nominated to become the new secretary of state. Trump also tapped CIA Deputy Director Gina Haspel to head the CIA. Haspel was directly involved in the CIA’s torture program under George W. Bush. She was responsible for running a secret CIA black site in Thailand in 2002 where one prisoner was waterboarded 83 times and tortured in other ways. Both Mike Pompeo and Gina Haspel must now face Senate confirmations, but barring any Republican defections, both can be confirmed without any Democratic support. Last year, the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights asked German prosecutors to issue an arrest warrant for Haspel for her role in the torture program. For more, we speak with Wolfgang Kaleck, founder and general secretary of the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights.

      NOT genuine female BUT secret MASONIC mtf transgender 'TRANSWOMAN PSYCHO-SOCIO PATH' originally born a boy with male DNA and turned to be fake woman by estrogen. So well-matched with highly well organized & orchestrated black-ops & crimes organization, CIA.

      Not Sure
      Peace be unto you...
      What anti-Semitic hate crimes are you talking about...
      My opinion about the realities from actual decisions Gina Haspel has supported with the prisons in Thailand, which were agreed upon to house kidnapped people and who were tortured and murdered by CIA operatives and CIA employed Thai citizens, is not any hate crime...
      The Truth can never be hidden forever...
      Only serial killers think and behave like that...
      Hate crimes?
      Please!!!
      You don't even have an intelligible response because you are so emotionally driven that logic escapes you...

      Not Sure Damn, learn something new everyday. I didn't know Haspel was a Jewish surname. I doubt most people do. Your comment is probably a tactic that will be used to push this psychopath through.
      You defenders of torture are, truly, some of the sickest people to ever exist. It's getting scary, knowing that so many psyhopaths live among us and control the levers of power.

      she was working in service of her country and president. she was protected from usa law, not global law.
      she does sound like a wicked witch. i mean, i dont think she should have the job but trump is destroying the fbi one director at a time. she is eating the shit burger because trump is using the fbi to expand media coverage.
      who gives a shit.

    • @MrJimmysez
      @MrJimmysez 6 років тому +4

      True, the US is a rogue nation when it comes to war crimes and the prosecution of American monsters. Maybe if she could enjoy torturing a little less?
      Anyways, if she goes to Europe hopefully they'll arrest her.

      "Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. For, to be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists that control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery." - Octavia Butler

    • @sevengenerations8879
      @sevengenerations8879 6 років тому +2

      How long has she worked at the CIA? How long was Obama president? Okay, math quiz. If you've passed the first quiz (Hint: 2018-1985= ??) go on to Question Two: Who appointed her in his presidential administration as Deputy Director of the CIA in 2017? (Hint: orange).
      She worked at the CIA long before Obama was even Senator. The torture in Thailand happened under Bush. Obama didn't appoint her to any position in his administration (although John Brennan had her appointed as Acting Director of the National Clandestine Service, the appointment - by Brennan - was not a presidential administration appointment and was deterred due to objections about her tortured past). It was Trump who has appointed her (as Deputy Director, then Director of the CIA, and the Senate must vote on a confirmation): only then has she served in a presidential administration. While it's true Obama had some major fuck-ups, this one isn't his. The real problem here is actually Pompeo. He's Joe McCarthy re-born and will gladly violate every law and spit on the U.S. Constitution to serve his true masters, the Koch brothers, who are grooming him for a presidential run in the future.

    That's great I don't know if the American people know this but they have former government officials evading international law, of high level including Dick Cheney, and Henry Kissinger. Once our higher ups and government officials enacted laws that aspired to more then the ends justified the means. Our people had strengths to not sink to " emergency laws", at momentary crisis. Our betrayal of ideals has rippled out, we have put a stop to establishing an International Criminal Court, we have given a reprieve to mass genocide, in hopes that we are not next. America's laws once gave strength to the old to prosecute the Nazi in the Nuremberg trials only now we abandon those ideals, so they lay twisted for others to pick them up, look away heavens for hell rules our day.

    Here's more Trump bullshit: " I know Putin very well. We were on 60 Minutes together. We get along well." "I know Mike Pompeo very well. Tremendous energy. "I know Gina Haspel very well. Great person." "I know Betsy DeVoss very well. High energy." "I know all the best people.: It's gonna be great." "I know Carl Icahn." "We have the best economy, maybe, ever." "I think I should be on Mount Rushmore." "I'm leading in all the poles." "I was elected by the greatest margin ever in the Electoral College." "I'm going to end the war in Iraq in one day." "I'm going to bring the jobs back from China." " I'm going to build a wall & Mexico is going to pay for it!" "I don't know Putin. I never met him." "Who knew healthcare could be this complicated.""I'm a very stable genius." If you would like a forensic psychiatrist's opinion on Donald J. Trump, buy & read THE DANGEROUS CASE OF DONALD TRUMP, edited by Dr. BX Lee, MD. In that book, 27 top psychiatrists write that Donald Trump "is too unstable to be entrusted with the life-and-death decisions of the presidency." If that doesn't work for you, try YouTubing "Dr.RJ Lifton Donald Trump Narcissism" & "Trump's Lies Compendium". Lifton says and writes that he thinks that Trump "veers in and out of psychosis." That means, at times, Trump is batshit crazy. For the best reality check video, UA-cam "Vincente Fox Gives Trump the Finger" while sayingm "Mexico is not going to build that fu@king wall."
