On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Dr. Michael Scheuer, the former head of the Bin Laden Issue Station at the CIA, and author of ‘Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror’, on the first anniversary of Hamas and other Palestinian groups’ October 7 attack against Israel. He discusses why it is the Israeli government that controls the US and not the other way around, the history of foreign interference by Israel and its loyalists in the US since 1948, how the CIA only got one piece of useful information from Israel in his entire time running the CIA’s Bin Laden Issue Station, the US’ involvement in defending Israel from Iran’s retaliatory missile attack and how perpetual US wars have harmed America, the CIA’s concern being to keep the Israelis happy, the claim that Iran is plotting to assassinate Donald Trump, how the US president has become a warlord that heads a war machine, why the US should not be in NATO or any other alliance, and much more.
