According to the annual Worldwide Threat Assessment of the US Intelligence Community report, Al-Qaeda and its associated forces remain a threat, especially in Iraq. But the report says that the terrorist organization isn't the only threat the US faces from abroad. RT's Liz Wahl talks to former CIA analyst Ray McGovern about the details of the report from the heads of US intelligence agencies to see if the report is fearmongering or realistic. -RT.com

Source: Consortium News youtube
Description:
The phony scandal of Russiagate was already dead. Now it is decomposed. It was killed off by the Mueller Report finding no conspiracy between Russia and the Trump campaign; by the CrowdStrike president's testimony that there was no evidence of a hack of DNC servers; and by the revelation that the basis of the story was made-up opposition research paid for by the Clinton campaign that was deceptively treated as serious intelligence by senior Obama administration officials and the Democratic-aligned media.
New revelations this month from the director of national intelligence shows that President Barack Obama and his senior intelligence officials intentionally suppressed dissenting intelligence assessments that Russia did not interfere in the 2016 election. GUESTS: Ray McGovern, former senior C.I.A. analyst and Bill Binney, former NSA technical director.

A troubled relationship or a transforming international system? As the West and Russia turn away from each other, can we expect more tensions or merely indifference? And is this a divorce or just a long-term separation?

The Ukrainian crisis may have seen a flickering light at the end of the tunnel, as politicians from the great powers collided over the former Soviet state are now bringing up the idea of having four-sided talks between the US, EU, Russia and Ukraine itself. But with the east of the Ukraine boiling with new wave of protests, and Kiev's government being fed with unreasonable promises from Washington -- whatwill tomorrow hold for the Ukrainians themselves? Are talks a real possibility? Will there be any use of them? To find this out, Sophie talks to Ray McGovern, retired CIA analyst turned whistleblower. -RT.com

"Edward Snowden is a Patriot": Ex-NSA CIA, FBI and Justice Whistleblowers Meet Leaker in Moscow, October 14, 2013

In a Democracy Now special, we spend the hour with four former U.S. intelligence officials -- all whistleblowers themselves -- who have just returned from visiting National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden in Russia.
They are former CIA analyst Ray McGovern, former FBI agent Coleen Rowley, former National Security Agency senior executive Thomas Drake, and former U.S. Justice Department ethics advisor Jesselyn Radack, now of the Government Accountability Project. On Wednesday, the group presented Snowden with an award from the Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence.
"In our visit, we told Edward Snowden that he had begun the debate by disclosing to American citizens what was going on -- this massive spying upon American citizens," Rowley says. "We were happy to tell him the debate has begun, but he is very concerned, and this is actually the reason he has sacrificed so much: he wants to see these laws, these secret interpretations of the law, I should say, fixed." -democracynow.org

Illegal Spying Below: Activists Fly Anti-Surveillance Airship over NSA's Utah Data Center
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) today released a video by acclaimed documentarian Brian Knappenberger (The Internet's Own Boy) that explores how and why an unlikely coalition of advocacy organizations launched an airship over the National Security Agency's Utah data center.
The short documentary explains the urgent need to rein in unconstitutional mass surveillance, just as the U.S. Senate has introduced a new version of the USA FREEDOM Act.

Afshin Rattansi goes underground on the CIA's operations in Britain -- and veteran CIA analyst Ray McGovern says the special relationship has gone too far. They question whether Dr. David Kelly really committed suicide and why Snowden could be next on Obama's kill list. It turns out the Daily Mail doesn't mind Europe all that much -- but only when it comes to their editor receiving Euros to maintain his estate. Riches to rags: why London's 'Billionaires Row' is rotting away. Tesco's lining up to take over your local. Plus, we look at how the press has been misleading you the past week. And, could the new NHS advisor have a conflict of interest when it comes to making money from privatisation? -RT.com
