What they had to say about journalism, war, and power:

Some excerpts:
Quote:
"But I do want to talk about one person in particular who has been a longtime political and intellectual hero of mine, and who I think exemplifies this trait as well as anybody -- Professor John Mearsheimer."
"When I started writing about politics, it was late 2005. Although we all should recognize how much progress we've made in the ability to speak openly about the evils of the Israeli government, the evils of its influence in our country, and the relationship the United States has in being complicit in funding and arming it we do have a lot more space than ever before back in 2007, there was almost no space. In fact, talking about those things guaranteed your expulsion from mainstream institutions. Doors were shut. Careers were jeopardized because of it."
"John Mearsheimer, who has a very prestigious position in the world as a scholar of international relations at the University of Chicago, together with his partner Stephen Walt at Harvard, writes an article on one of the most rigidly enforced taboos in our country the influence of the Israel lobby."
"It is so taboo that, despite their positions as leading scholars at our leading institutions, they can't even get it published in the United States. They have to go to London in order to get it published. Then they write a book on it."
"It was one of the first times I understood the dangers and risks of speaking out on Israel, because the campaign launched against them this disgusting, grotesque, multipronged, intense attempt to destroy their reputations and careers by branding them antisemites was something that I found so impressive in the way they responded. They continued to persist in the scholarly demonstration of their argument."

At the Integrity Media whistleblower roundtable in Chicago, Kiriakou told deep state stories about Israeli influence over the United States.
"I sat next to a guy at the CIA for years, he's a dear friend," Kiriakou said during the whistleblower panel moderated by Greenwald.
"His wife sat ten feet away from us. And when I was transferred to Bahrain in the 1990s, he and his wife were transferred to Jerusalem. They were overt CIA employees. And so when they arrived in Israel, they were re-declared to the Israeli Mossad, where the station chief takes them to Mossad and says -- These are my officers. They're here to work with you."
"Well, the wife was there to work with them, and the husband was taking a sabbatical to learn Arabic at one of the universities. They went to a welcome party, it's called a hail and farewell party, at the ambassador's residence in Tel Aviv. When they got home, all of their living room furniture had been rearranged."
"And they said -- Okay. All right. Well, this is what they do, just to tell us that they can do whatever they want, whenever they want it. We get it."
Quote:
"Yesterday, I was talking to the son of one of my best friends."
"He's a member of one of the SEAL teams, and he had just returned from a joint military exercise with the Brits and the Israelis. And he said first, this is just a few weeks ago, he flew to the UK and bought a cheap laptop computer, one of these $200 laptops you buy at Target, so that it had nothing on it, just so he could access his emails."
"He took it with him to the UK, had it in his backpack, went to the, you know, hello, how are you meeting to say -- I'm from SEAL Team Four, nice to meet you."
"Got back to his room, opened up the computer. The entire computer was in Hebrew. The whole thing. He has no idea how to use it, what to do with it."
"From the UK, they went on to Israel, and getting back to this, you know, scatological thing, this obsession that the Israelis have. In his hotel room, somebody had defecated in the toilet, but then used his bath towel to wipe himself, and then laid it out on the bed for him."
"This is two weeks ago, and we're giving them $2.8 billion in free weapons, or missiles, rockets that you and I are paying for."
"So why do they do this? Because they know that they have political cover. On Capitol Hill, nobody dares challenge the Israelis. If you do, you're gonna get primaried, and you're probably gonna lose."
