Does that actually mean anything? STRATFOR does reports on all sorts of shit, and I can imagine them wanting to talk to a cofounder of the largest western forum on the internet just for the sake of looking for trends.

>>329109

its basically been confirmed that they hire paid shills and have information censored

This document just looks so damn edgy to me. It talks about everything, but about nothing in detail. Honestly, it's a shitty lecture.

No more replies? Bumping this thread. I hope that doesn't make me an asshole.

I have no idea if what anything wikileaks says is correct or "embellished"

I remember the whole MURICA MURDER shit with the creatively censored the Apache footage of them lighting up that guy's van with the kids in it. "only a news cameraman"… hanging out with a RPG gunner taking shots at a Bradley convoy, but cut that part out yeah fuck the system rage against the machine.

i want more government accountability leaks from an honest source and less lying, self promoting cuntflaps like Julian Assange

>Buttsore blind American """patriot""" detected.

>>329763

AFAIK the dude and his group was unarmed, they had no AKs and RPGs as claimed, but tripods for their camera. Prove me wrong.

>>329772

Go get yourself a pair of eyes or lurk more, you could easily tell that it was an RPG-7.

>>329774

The video I saw was shit quality, you couldn't really make it out. All that was clear was that the folks on the coms were quite enthusiastic about shooting these guys.

>The video I saw was shit quality, you couldn't really make it out.

There's a video where you can quite easily tell. The doctored video had essential bits cut out and bits blurred.

>All that was clear was that the folks on the coms were quite enthusiastic about shooting these guys.

So?

Where is that "photographic evidence" talked about that shows that the journalist was surveilling US troop movements and handed that intel to insurgents?

>>328866

This text reads like a bad spy novel.

>To use scopolamine most effectively to get a prisoner to tell you what he or she knows, the key is where you inject it, and in what amounts. Normally it is introduced into the body by a transdermal patch or intravenously in the arm. However, if you inject it into the spine (amount classified), it causes absolutely incredible pain, accompanied by violent convulsions and seizures. If injected into the spine in the appropriate amount, more than 95% of all prisoners will tell the truth – not something fabricated to stop the pain – within 24 hours (Source: classified).

Why does he need to point out that the source is classified in this singular paragraph, but he never mentions a source on anything else? Lots of other sentences or claims would have needed a source, but the only one he wants to give is classified, for some reason.

I'm not a doctor so I don't know shit about the medicinal qualities of the drug, but whoever wrote this was a retard.

>They are: secret; top-secret; top-secret/code word; beyond top-secret/code word. The words "code word" could be something like UMBRA. So if I had that level, I would be cleared top-secret/UMBRA, which means I would be allowed to see or hear anything that is secret, top-secret, and – separately – anything that a classified under the code word UMBRA.

This is just plain wrong.

The "top-secret/code word" is not a classification, it's the need to know principle. Additionally, only people who have been SIGINT indoctrinated can look at SIGINT related stuff, even if it's only Restricted. If you are SIGINT indoctrinated you are not automatically allowed to know everything about SIGINT, that would be fucking retarded.

There's no such thing as "Beyond Top Secret", it's called "Cosmic Top Secret (CTS)" and it's often used with the -A suffix to denote Atomic relevance and a -B to do with intelligence (SIGINT or crypto specifically, if I remember correctly).

The real classifications go Restricted, Confidential, Secret, Top Secret, Cosmic Top Secret. Furthermore you have NATO-Restricted, NATO-Confidential, etc. which means that only people from NATO countries who are also cleared for Confidential in their country may see it.

The guy who wrote this is either a blowhard who likes to pretend he's hot shit, or he's someone without basic knowledge of military intelligence.

>To digress for a moment, and to add a little humor to it, I don't get any pleasure inflicting pain on anybody, unless you're a quarterback. I hate quarterbacks. I was a linebacker. Quarterbacks live a charmed life. Think about it. A quarterback never had zits as a kid. He never sweat. He always got the best looking cheerleader. He or his parents always had the best car. The teachers and coaches would let him get away with murder, and yet call him a saint. He always had his picture on the front cover of the football guide and the game-day program. He was the class valedictorian. He never had to dig ditches in 100-degree heat in the summer to make money. Even during practice, he got to wear a different color jersey from anybody else. He could sit down, kneel down, slide down, fall down, lie down, down the damn ball or throw it away, and if you even breathed on him you got penalized 15 yards for roughing the quarterback. I ask you, when was the last time you ever saw any official at any football game – peewee through the pros – ever throw flag on anybody for roughing the linebacker? I rest my case.

Why does this supposed doctor of nine degrees write like a clickbait author?

You can say it's pretty fucking real. If you watch some documentaries you will also see other " tactics ".

CIA knows better than leave traces behind to have any sort of accountability. Imagine the shit we never know about.

You can download the book for free from plenty of sources.

>>329798

Exactly my problem with it.

>>329893

And that part was plain cringy as fuck.

>>329900

It can be fake and still contain a lot of truths.

>>328866

>This doesn't work with interrogators who are members of a free society.

>when our POWs were interrogated by Russians, Cubans, East Germans, and Bulgarians, when they tried to pull the same stunt as they did with the North Vietnamese, our guys were beaten, starved, and tortured unmercifully.

So the USSR is a free country? Kek

>>330121

not

>>330115

But yes it can. Some things can't be verified or get harder to verify through the use in generally badly written material. But you can still take something authentic and put it into crappy words.

One example is the Mass Effect story, though that has never been verified either. Rumor has it that it's based off secret documents describing "foreign" technology and they warped the whole story into the games we know.

Same thing goes for historical texts, which are nowadays believed to be myths. The more ancient versions are very elaborate and correlate with scientific data interestingly. And they don't involve any belief or faith at all, they're very gruesome accounts of human fate.

>>329111

it's reddit, what the fuck do you expect?

>>328866

no shit

however, nearly all evidence is written by Guantanamo LARPers who survived Vietnam and the Holocaust and the conquest of Rhodesia etc..

If you fill it up with enough bullshit, noone will be bothered to sort out the true bits from the fake

>>330115

Congressional hearings are the only time you can actually see truths coming out of the bastard's mouth.

Read it, it is worth it. The thing is, after the military and intelligence line got blured ( specially when J-SOC was created ), the lines for military and intelligence ops got blurred too.

Before we had black operations. Now we have black ops, black budget, black sites. Everything off the grid, without traces, no paperwork. And the CIA is starting to third party the work to PMC's, so even more shaddy business.

As I said, imagine the shit we don't know about.
