Former NSA Senior Intelligence Analyst and Whistleblower Russ Tice joins Lou Dobbs on the Great America Show to talk about the Israel-Hamas conflict, and why the U.S. intelligence community may be spying on its own citizens.
00:22:33.540You know, an underling can go to the IG.
00:22:36.540Say at NSA, an underling goes to the IG and says, hey, the upper echelon is ignoring whatever.
00:22:42.540The problem is the IG is controlled by the chief executive of that agency.
00:22:48.540And even the IG's security clearances are controlled by the security office, which is controlled by the executive or the director of the agency.
00:23:03.540So they can't do a proper investigation into why this is happening.
00:23:08.540And ultimately, once you start squeaking a whole lot and making a lot of noise, then basically the IG is there to basically warn the upper echelon, hey, you've got someone who's going to be a problem and who's rocking the boat.
00:23:21.540And we need to basically put a rope around this guy's neck and hang him from the tree.
00:23:26.540We're talking about, figuratively speaking, the result may feel a lot the same to those who find themselves in that position.
00:23:35.540I wonder, at this point, if we just have to acknowledge that our Senate Select Intelligence Committee and our House Select Intelligence Committee, permanent select committees, I should say, that they're just helpless.
00:23:53.120I know for a fact President Trump issued executive orders that were just basically spit upon by the leadership of the CIA, refused to follow them.
00:24:04.860In declassifying documents, for example, there's just no way around this, is there?
00:24:13.540In that case, you know, that person, I think I know you're talking about, she should have been fired immediately because, yes, she was she was a swamp dweller and she was there to wrap wrap around the chief's legs and put her fangs into into his calf.
00:24:44.120Otherwise, even if even if even if our champion gets back in, you know, in the castle, we can't we can't have these underlings that are there to just, you know, destroy the whole system.
00:24:58.160You and I have talked on a number of occasions and you have expressed great concern about President Trump's safety.
00:25:06.600You have considerable experience within the intelligence community.
00:25:12.480We we know there are forces at work in this country that are dark and they are dangerous and they pose a threat.
00:25:19.980And I'm talking about within the government itself, as well as externally now, as always, that threat exists.
00:25:28.900Give us your sense about why you're concerned and your sense of the most likely origin of those threats.
00:25:38.940Should they act, you know, we supposedly we don't assassinate people and that's, you know, I don't know which president put out that executive order, but it supposedly gets it gets renewed all the time.
00:25:55.780We do it quietly and we do it with high tech and we do it, you know, if you've ever if you've ever read the Shakespeare's play Othello and the way Iago makes Cassio look like the bad guy, like like he's he's trying to steal Desdemona away from Othello.
00:26:15.240You know, this thing is things that sneakily that are involved in these programs and they're all sat programs, special access programs that are involved in these things.
00:26:26.700Now, the reason I know this is because in my technical ability, I think I was involved in supporting some things that happened overseas.
00:26:34.480Now, you know, these were very bad people and bad guys.
00:26:37.680And, you know, when something blew up somewhere and, you know, bad guys, you know, you just say, hey, the enemies.
00:26:50.760I'm supporting making sure the people that are involved in, say, you know, taking down our towers and putting a plane into the Pentagon, that they're going to pay a price for it.
00:27:03.860Madam situation in Florida happened, I I looked at that and I was very suspicious because of the way it was done.
00:27:11.760And I know a couple of capabilities and I don't think I should the CIA capabilities that we have that I don't think I should talk about right now.
00:27:21.340But then I said to myself, you know, I'm pretty sure that might be that might be one of our own jobs.
00:27:30.420And then I knew that this was this was the CIA and probably even the Mossad and MI6 that were involved in this and a whole lot of money from some some some wealthy people.
00:27:41.380So that's that's how he was assassinated.
00:27:45.780So you believe Epstein was assassinated despite the absolute assurance of the attorney general of the United States, Bill Barr, whose responsibility as attorney general is the entire purview of the Department of Justice, which means the Bureau of Prisons.
00:28:01.920And and and you're saying basically he lied through his teeth.
00:28:08.560Of course, I'm not sure whether you lied.
00:28:10.980He just maybe he just put his head in the sand and he was told to put your head in the sand and don't do a thing.
00:28:16.120I can say, well, I have no knowledge of this happening, especially if I close if I put, you know, blinders on my eyes and turn my head and put the earplugs in my ears.
00:28:25.980Then I can honestly say I have no knowledge of this and we have no information because we didn't look bar bar is basically complicit in that he was told to either lie or put your head in the sand.
00:28:46.720Now, now, now we're going after our own citizens, whether you, you know, Epstein apparently was a saint and deserved.
00:28:55.680In my opinion, to have the law come down on him.
00:28:59.160But in this case, this was done to make sure, excuse me, that some of his his clients and the fact that more than likely he was used by the CIA to to blackmail, you know, people that they wanted to blackmail from from his his capabilities.
00:29:19.040So they can't have him going, you know, and saying that in court.
00:29:22.940So they and of course, he's going to sit there and say, oh, yeah, you put me in you want to put me in jail.
00:29:27.900I'm going to I'm going to spill the beans.
00:29:31.980Now, we are now at a point, in my opinion, where these these swamp dollar dwellers view President Trump as an existential existential threat.
00:29:42.220And and they I believe that there they could potentially use the capabilities under these programs to go after our former president and our number one, you know, contender right now to get back in the White House.
00:29:59.740And it is just it scares me beyond belief.
00:30:03.180But these these systems, they would be very subtle.
00:30:06.160They would make it look like an accident.
00:30:09.020And and everyone would go, oh, gee, yeah.
00:30:12.440Look, look way back in the records of the airplane where they infuse some little thing about a valve that was flickering or something.
00:30:18.780That must be the reason the plane went down.
