You're retarded. US support of the UK during the Falkland Island operation Signals Intelligence (SIGINT): The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) provided real-time signals intelligence to the UK’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), helping the British task force protect its aircraft carriers. Satellite Imagery: The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) dedicated a satellite to the conflict, providing the UK with imagery of the Falklands and surrounding Atlantic waters. The U.S. also shared weather forecast data and allowed the UK to use American communication satellites for secure submarine communications. Covert Operations: The CIA’s A.G. Crypto operation provided intelligence on Argentine military plans and intentions. Weapons Systems: The U.S. supplied the British Special Air Service (SAS) with FIM-92 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, cold-weather gear, and satellite phones. The U.S. also sold Britain approximately 100 AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles and 20-mm ammunition, alongside sonar-equipped buoys for antisubmarine warfare. Fuel and Bases: The U.S. provided 1.5 million gallons of aviation fuel to the joint U.S.-British airbase at Ascension Island and made KC-135 aerial tankers available to support RAF Vulcan bombers. Naval Contingency: The Pentagon committed to providing additional tanker aircraft if the war extended into winter and offered to lend the amphibious assault ship USS Guam to the UK in the event a British aircraft carrier was lost.

@aaronca25084440 @ColonelTowner They were refuelled by aircraft that took off from Europe. In 1982 British Vulcan bombers flew 7,200 miles and bombed the Argentinians in Port Stanley at the outset of the Falklands War, the USA couldn't manage that.

Another fantasy from the 'former' CIA 'whistleblower.' The real story: In true CIA fashion, Kiriakou creatively takes pieces of real stories and intermingles them with complete lies. Kiriakou is recounting a version of known tradecraft, and Jack Barsky is a verifiable (if imperfectly matched) example. However, the viral post sensationalizes it into a horror-movie scenario of kidnapped babies raised in secret American theme parks, which lacks any corroboration and goes well beyond documented history. Real sleeper threats exist, but the “how many Americans around you are waiting for the call?” fear-mongering is classic spy-thriller exaggeration. Intelligence agencies (all of them) use mock ups of cities to train their agents, not just the KGB. Kiriakou describes Russians (and others) kidnapping infants, raising them in simulated American towns deep inside Russia with perfect U.S. accents/culture, stealing dead American babies’ identities for real passports/SSNs, embedding them for decades as ordinary Americans, and activating them with coded messages (or death threats). It cites one defector who supposedly turned himself in to the FBI the moment his daughter was born. Kiriakou did tell essentially this exact story in recent podcast appearances (Diary of a CEO and his own DEEP FOCUS podcast). Clips went viral in 2025–2026, matching the post word-for-word in tone and details. He frames it as insider knowledge of Soviet/Russian tradecraft. Critical to the success of any propaganda narrative, several core pieces have historical and public confirmation: -Deep-cover operatives lived ordinary lives in the West for years or decades, blending in until activated. The most famous recent example was the 2010 FBI bust of 10 Russian SVR illegals (including Anna Chapman), who posed as ordinary Americans/Canadians -Stolen identities of deceased Americans (often infants): A standard KGB/SVR technique. Agents were given “legends” built on real birth records of dead U.S./Canadian children to obtain genuine passports, SSNs, etc. Jack Barsky (a real KGB illegal) used such a stolen identity. -The Soviets built simulated American/British villages (the KGB facility at Vinnytsia, Ukraine, in the 1950s–60s) with U.S.-style houses, stores, diners, and American actors. Trainees practiced accents, slang, shopping, TV references, and daily life. Similar facilities existed elsewhere in the USSR. -Jack Barsky as the “one guy” example: Barsky (born Albrecht Dittrich in East Germany, 1949) was recruited by the Stasi/KGB as an adult, not child, trained for years, and inserted into the U.S. in 1978 under a false identity. He lived as a normal American (married, had kids), stopped spying around 1988 after the birth of his U.S. daughter Chelsea (family loyalty played a role), and was later confronted by the FBI in 1997 after a KGB defector exposed him. He fully cooperated and became a U.S. citizen. Kiriakou interviewed him on his podcast indicating he knows the real story. Real illegals used dead drops, coded radio broadcasts, or in-person signals, not melodramatic “a stranger whispering ‘or I have to kill you.’” Kiriakou presents this as established tradecraft. Exaggerated and unsubstantiated Parts: -Kids basically from birth, rip them from their families and raising them full-time in fake towns: this fabricated scary part has no bases in reality. There was no evidence of systematic infant abduction and lifelong upbringing in secret U.S. replica towns. No major declassified documents, defectors, or arrests confirm a widespread “from-birth ripped-from-family” pipeline for perfect native-like Americans. Training villages existed, but they were short-term simulation sites for adult recruits, not lifelong childhood homes. “The second his daughter was born” turnaround: Barsky had an emotional shift after his daughter’s birth and stopped active spying, but he did not walk into the FBI immediately. The FBI found him years later (via defector info) and he confessed/cooperated only then. “This stuff is happening” (present-day, widespread) narrative of attributing USSR tactics to modern day Russia evidence does not exist. Kiriakou is actively creating propaganda using his background of counterterrorism/Middle East as bonifides to perpetuate old narratives. Ask yourself: Why? Why is that necessary right now? Why is he everywhere on podcasts doing this?

Former CIA officer John Kiriakou dropped the scariest sleeper agent story you’ll ever hear. The Russians (and others) take kids basically from birth, rip them from their families, and raise them in fake American towns deep in Russia. American food, American TV, perfect American accent — the whole thing. Then they steal the identity of a dead American baby, get them a legit passport and Social Security number, and drop them into the U.S. They live normal lives for decades — travel agent, dad, neighbor, until one day they get “activated.”A coded radio message. Or a stranger whispering in their ear on the subway: “Report back… or I have to kill you.” One guy turned himself in to the FBI the second his daughter was born. He couldn’t do it anymore. This stuff is happening. How many “Americans” around you right now are actually waiting for that call?

Thanks Sarge, but even this is woefully lacking in facts. The 'communist' Tudeh party was approximately 4,000 ppl in a country of millions and millions. It was made up of workers, primarily oil workers that had been prohibited from organizing against the British oil company. It wasn't ever working with the USSR and was used as propaganda to 'justify' intelligence reports of a threat. Meanwhile the CIA was setting up, training and equipping stay behind units in souther Iran to use as foot soldiers in the coup. There was never any ambiguity of it not being organic. Mosaddegh tried repeatedly to work with the Angle Iranian oil company to get the 50-50 split in profit that was the new norm and British refused repeatedly to even entertain it. The British staged their own coup and failed which is why they were thrown out of the country and had to come hat in hand to the CIA/Rockefeller Standard Oil crowd, which by the way, walked a way with a 34% interest in the Iranian oil fields as a result of the CIA coup by their former lawyers, the Dulles brothers. There is absolutely no 'doubt' as to the extent that the CIA was involved in the coup and it isn't overblown as the narrator implied. It's very well documented not only in state dept cables and declassified CIA documents but in various reporting and books as well. Bottomline: There was zero communist threat, UK ended up with the 50% that Iran offered and Standard Oil walked away with 34% interest while the American taxpayers paid the bill and Iranians died. Just like every other CIA coup.

Totalitarian states emerge as a mass formation without an equally powerful civilizational counter. Read Desmet's "The Psychology of Totalitarianism" and and Gustav Le Bon's "The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind." Both are absolutely essential to understand what we are all being walked towards and why it won't stop unless we return to civilizational thinking - to our Anglosphere. youtu.be/fJBrhzjJETQ?si…

You literally have to get inside the wire to take it down from within. The signs of an increasingly successful and expanding hostile takeover of the Executive Branch & the military are there if people look for them. They're just not loudly ADVERTISING what they're really doing yet.

Nope Colonel, Barbara Boyd is 100% on target on this one. Desantis was great on Fema because Florida has more experience with this kind of crisis than any other state. Desantis who lost overwhelming to Trump has also become an expert on watching the initiatives Trump advances , studying the polling on those that rate high and then proposing legislation to advance it. This doesn’t make him a leader, it makes him a copycat. Check me on this but Trump advanced these proposals before anyone else. The reasons I distrust DeSantis are these. The decade long friendship with the establishment of mosques in Florida The incredibly high # of illegal immigrants he never seems to do anything about And he is a Neocon. Our three biggest current and future threats all wrapped up into one candidate Bonus demerits because he took an abnormally long time responding to the Smartmatic threat unfolding underneath him and didn’t respond even after it was exposed by others And Some of those MAGA influencer/ Betrayers clearly work for him.

Interesting. Is there any possibility his run against the president was to expose all the fake MAGA? Because that's exactly what it did, or was that an unintended consequence? What are you taking exception to on his congressional voting record? His record was solidly conservative; he earned an 88% lifetime score from Heritage Action (87% in the 115th Congress), and he voted with President Trump 94% of the time once Trump took office. He supported the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, voted consistently to repeal Obamacare. He supported the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act (2017), Kate's Law, funding for the border wall, he voted against DACA. He refused his own congressional pension and pushed term-limit amendments and lobbying bans for former members, he voted to reform VISA. He really only voted against 3 things in 17/18 that Trump signed and that was only bc it didn't contain any cuts in fraud waste and abuse in bureaucratic largess as a member of the Freedom Caucas, they all tried to cut waste.
Barbara M Boyd@BarbaraMBoyd

One of the few times I totally disagree with you. In his heart of hearts this guy is still a neocon punk--review his record in Congress, the donors who put him up to run against the President. \ Inappropriate for either DOJ or the Court.

In short, the CIA did not act alone, local actors and British intelligence played roles, but primary documents prove it planned, directed, and executed the operation as official U.S. policy. The National Security Archive (nsarchive.gwu.edu) hosts the key collections publicly. The evidence that the CIA (in collaboration with British MI6) orchestrated and directed the 1953 overthrow of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh is extensive, primary-source-based, and comes directly from declassified U.S. government records. These include internal CIA operational histories, planning memos, and official State Department compilations. The operation was codenamed TPAJAX (or Operation Ajax). It was motivated by Mossadegh’s nationalization of the British-controlled Anglo-Iranian Oil Company and U.S. fears of Soviet influence via Iran’s Tudeh (communist) party during the early Cold War. nsarchive2.gwu.edu Primary Declassified CIA Documents Confirming Direct Involvement: The strongest evidence is from the CIA’s own internal records, which were withheld for decades but released through Freedom of Information Act requests and mandatory declassification reviews: CIA’s mid-1970s internal history, The Battle for Iran (declassified in stages, with key sections released in 2013): This explicitly states: “The military coup that overthrew Mosadeq and his National Front cabinet was carried out under CIA direction as an act of U.S. foreign policy, conceived and approved at the highest levels of government.” It describes the operation as a response to the risk of Iran falling “open to Soviet aggression.” This is widely regarded as the CIA’s first formal public acknowledgment of its role. nsarchive2.gwu.edu Donald N. Wilber’s Clandestine Service History: Overthrow of Premier Mossadeq of Iran, November 1952–August 1953 (written March 1954 by a lead CIA planner; partially declassified starting in 2000): This ~200-page account details the full planning and execution. Wilber (with British officer Norman Darbyshire) outlined a joint U.S.-UK plot involving propaganda, bribery of Iranian politicians, military officers, and journalists; hiring mobs and “toughs” to stage pro-Shah demonstrations; false-flag operations; and coordination to persuade the Shah to issue firmans (decrees) dismissing Mossadegh and appointing General Fazlollah Zahedi as prime minister. Kermit Roosevelt (CIA Near East Division chief) was the on-the-ground operational leader. The history covers the initial failed attempt (August 15–16, when Mossadegh’s forces arrested key plotters) and the successful second phase on August 19, which relied on CIA-funded crowds, military units, and control of Tehran radio. nsarchive2.gwu.edu Kermit Roosevelt’s contemporaneous memos (declassified and posted by the National Security Archive): These show real-time coordination, including requests for funds to bribe Majlis (parliament) deputies, plans with Zahedi, and propaganda efforts to portray Mossadegh as losing control or allied with communists. One example (July 1953) discusses expending money to sway deputies and precise assignment of roles. nsarchive2.gwu.edu Additional CIA documents (“Zendebad, Shah!” internal study from 1998, further declassified later) analyze the operation’s bureaucracy, confirm the shift to a “political operation” after the initial failure, and detail tactics like mobilizing pro-Shah demonstrators and exploiting divisions in Mossadegh’s coalition. cia.gov U.S. Government Releases and Broader Context 2017 State Department Foreign Relations of the United States (FRUS) retrospective volume on Iran 1951–1954: This 1,000+ page collection includes declassified records on planning and implementation of TPAJAX, confirming high-level approval (President Eisenhower, CIA Director Allen Dulles, etc.) via National Security Council channels. It supplements earlier volumes that had whitewashed U.S./British roles. nsarchive.gwu.edu Tactics detailed across documents: CIA assets hired mobs (including known Tehran gangsters) for pro-Shah riots on August 19; ran a propaganda campaign (radio broadcasts, leaflets, planted articles); bribed officials; and coordinated with the Shah’s court and military. The total cost was modest by CIA standards (around $1 million initially authorized, with broader estimates up to ~$5 million including related activities). Most operational files were destroyed in the early 1960s, but surviving records and participant accounts fill the gaps. en.wikipedia.org Later acknowledgments: In 2023, the CIA publicly described the coup as “undemocratic” for the first time in a podcast. Historians such as Stephen Kinzer (All the Shah’s Men), Mark Gasiorowski, and Ervand Abrahamian have cross-verified these records with Iranian sources. theguardian.com Notes on Debates and Nuance: The initial August 15–16 coup attempt did fail, and Mossadegh had alienated some domestic supporters (e.g., clergy like Ayatollah Kashani, bazaaris, and parts of the military) through his policies and a controversial referendum dissolving parliament. Some revisionist accounts emphasize these internal factors. However, declassified U.S. records consistently show that CIA planning, funding, propaganda, and on-the-ground direction (especially Roosevelt’s improvisation after the first failure) were decisive in turning the tide on August 19 and installing Zahedi. The U.S. and UK governments had long sought Mossadegh’s removal after oil nationalization talks collapsed. en.wikipedia.org

Again: the CIA did NOT overthrow the Iranian leader in 1953, a myth born of the left's attempt to delegitimize the Shah.
