"The #Bolsonaro family’s recent behaviour has prompted an official from #Brazil’s intelligence agency ABIN, to say that he believes everything they are now doing is being scripted by the #CIA. #Trump’s tariffs certainly appear to be a move straight out of the US #regimechange playbook. After all, destabilizing foreign enemies economies has been a tactic used by the US all over the world for decades."

“I almost felt like I was going to get in trouble for having read that document,” Larry Pfeiffer, a former senior #CIA & #WhiteHouse official, told the podcast “SpyTalk.” “Sources & methods could be easily inferred in almost every instance. … I don’t know if I’ve seen a document of that sensitivity so lightly redacted.”

Continued thread

…The document contains multiple references to #CIA human sources reporting on #Putin’s plans. Such sources are among the agency’s most closely guarded secrets. After the report was completed in 2020, it was considered so sensitive that it remained in storage at the CIA rather than on Capitol Hill.

#Democratic lawmakers & fmr #US #intelligence ofcls have objected to how the #Trump admin released the report, saying it could imperil future #intelligence gathering on threats against the #US.

Gabbard, w/the blessing of Trump, overrode arguments from the #CIA & other #intelligence agencies that more of the document should remain classified to obscure US spy agencies’ sources & methods….

Das Thema #Palantir ist aktueller denn je – und in #Deutschland brandkritisch.

Von CIA-Wurzeln bis zu Karp-Zitaten wie:

„Unser Produkt kann zum Töten von Menschen eingesetzt werden“.

Wir holen uns eine digitale Macht ins Land, die demokratisch kaum kontrolliert wird.

Deutschland schafft es immer wieder, neue Maßstäbe in politischer Kurzsichtigkeit, Technik-Naivität und Selbstgefährdung zu setzen. Wer so mit Bürgerrechten umgeht, hat aus Geschichte und Gegenwart nichts gelernt.
