Former CIA director Michael Hayden, a Bush administration appointee, said Wednesday that today’s Republican Party is the most dangerous political force he’s ever seen.

Hayden, who is a retired U.S. Air Force four-star general and also the former director of the National Security Agency (NSA), made his claim on Twitter, in response to a tweet by Financial Times associate editor Edward Luce.

“I’ve covered extremism and violent ideologies around the world over my career. Have never come across a political force more nihilistic, dangerous and contemptible than today’s Republicans. Nothing close,” Luce wrote in the tweet.

“I agree,” Hayden wrote in response to the tweet. “And I was the CIA Director.”

Hayden served as the CIA’s chief from May 2006 until February 2009. He was appointed by former President George W. Bush, and he was confirmed to his post by every Senate Republican who was present that day, except for one, Sen. Arlen Specter (PA).

Hayden was also the NSA director from March 1999 until April 2005, appointed by former President Bill Clinton. During his tenure, he oversaw the NSA’s controversial warrantless wiretapping program put in place after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

Hayden has recently been warning about the damage that former President Donald Trump is doing to the country. Despite being a Republican, he endorsed Joe Biden for president in 2020 and even cut a video for him.

“If there is another term for President Trump, I don’t know what will happen to America,” Hayden said in the Oct. 2020 video released by Republican Voters Against Trump. He cited Trump’s disregard for the truth, his refusal to reject the actions of violent white supremacist groups and his disregard for America’s allies as reasons the nation could be in jeopardy.

Republican National Committee spokesperson Emma Vaughn criticized Hayden for “labeling half of Americans” as worse than the Islamic State group or al-Qaeda.

“Dangerous rhetoric from the left led to an assassination attempt on a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, a shooting at a Congressional baseball practice, Molotov cocktails at pregnancy centers, rampant crime in major cities, and an open border,” said Vaughn, despite no evidence that any of those matters are the result of Democratic rhetoric. “Call out the left on their threatening hyperbole, then we will talk.”

Trick question. She lives in a precapitalist medieval feudal society so those terms don't apply.

Me: eh I don't really write as much resident evil fic, the fandom is kinda scary—

The part of my brain who Loves resident evil and also Ada Wong and Ashley Graham and Resi4: ok write a fic using a mash-up of the game novel and the remake canon, with Leon telling Ashley how he met Ada, interspersed with Ashley going "GOD LEON I need a hot spy girlfriend is Ada single" every time I cut back to them on the jet ski

#leech texts #resident evil #re4 #resident evil 4 #look i love ashley and i think she should learn to drive heavy equipment and how to shoot and i think she should also get to kiss a hot girl #my unrealistic headcanon is that Ashley takes over for Simmons as the National Security Advisor and also starts dating Claire Redfield #me when i was 14 and playing re4 for the first time: #everyone doesnt like ashley and shes annoying BUT ive decided to like her to spite people #anyways its midnight and I Love Ashley Graham

there's a video going around of a man harassing a halal cart owner in manhattan by saying things like "the egyptian mukhabarat will get you" and a lot of other vile islamaphobic things ("if we killed 4,000 palestinian kids, it wasn't enough"), and it turns out the man is stuart seldowitz, a former high level state department official, including on israel/palestine, an architect of the daytona agreements, and national security advisor to obama

Not surprisingly, when endeavoring to evaluate the profits of scholastic investment, [economists] can only consider the profitability of educational expenditure for society as a whole, the ‘social rate of return,’ or the ‘social gain of education as measured by its effects on national productivity’ (Becker 1964b, pp. 121, 155). This typically functionalist definition of the functions of education ignores the contribution which the educational system makes to the reproduction of the social structure by sanctioning the hereditary transmission of cultural capital. From the very beginning, a definition of human capital, despite its humanistic connotations, does not move beyond economism and ignores, inter alia, the fact that the scholastic yield from educational action depends on the cultural capital previously invested by the family. Moreover, the economic and social yield of the educational qualification depends on the social capital, again inherited, which can be used to back it up.

#bourdieu #the forms of capital (1986) #'why would an heiress become a nyt reporter? aren't the wages shit?' < statements only economists dream up #i think what really drove this in for me was the process of legal clerkships #which certainly are responsible for driving social mobility in the legal profession but in doing so reify the expectation that #'what thoughts you can have' are far less important for even law than 'who do you know' #but yet it's not entirely a multi-headed ourobouros fucking itself for eternity; even tho it may seem as such if you look at the biography #of one such national security advisor whose career runs through the legal elite

for those of you who may be wondering "why is everyone so happy Henry Kissinger died" or "who even is Henry Kissinger" here's a brief explanation: He's a war criminal responsible for the death of millions to the point he's often compared to Hitler because he killed so many innocent people. He was secretary of state under Nixon and a national security advisor under Gerald Ford. He is directly responsible for the reason the Vietnam war went on 7 years longer than it was supposed to. He was responsible for Laos being bombed 270 million times, making it the most bombed country ever. He's also responsible for carpet bombing Cambodia despite there being literally no reason to. Also he overthrew Chile's first female president and replaced her with the dictator Augusto Pinochet who killed thousands. And this is literally just the tip of the iceberg.

Edit: I've been told that the president overthrown in Chile was Salvador Allende, who was the first democratically elected socialist president and that the first female president was Michelle Bachelet in 2006. Sorry for my mistake.

I’ve seen a few people, mostly non-American, who don’t know who Henry Kissinger is or what he did. So your local history student and nerd is going to try to give a quick summary of the main atrocities he committed.

-Role in the Vietnam War: this is the first and biggest reason most people have for hating Kissinger. He unnecessarily extended and expanded the war prolonging the already frivolous conflict. He purposefully delayed negotiations. He approved large scale carpet bombings done with the use of B-52 bombs killed thousands to millions of innocent civilians. The Christmas Bombing was an intense, focused bombing that caused large civilian deaths in a short period of time. He engaged in negotiations with the North Vietnamese often without permission or knowledge from the US government. He was the National Security Advisor and overall had much knowledge about 1) how useless the war was 2) the travesties happening to both the North Vietnamese and South, as well as America’s own soldiers.

-Secret Bombing and Invasion in Cambodia: Kissinger (and Nixon) lead secret bombing campaigns in Cambodia aimed to destroy North Vietnamese trails and routes that ran through the country. Cambodia originally pursued neutrality in the war. Its citizens were not involved.

-Invasion and Bombing of Laos: Laos also held North Vietnamese routes, so Kissinger led Operation Lam Son which was a full scale invasion supplied with American air power and weapons. Not that it would matter, but this invasion did little to interrupt the trade routes. The North Vietnamese, made up of people who lived and knew the landscape of Vietnam, were able to adapt and find new routes. There was also secret bombings carried out in Laos, authorized by Kissinger, aimed to destroy the Ho Chi Minh trail, which, once again, wasn’t disrupted and just took innocent civilian lives in Laos. Laos also remained neutral in the Vietnam War. They were not involved, yet they were punished.

-Involvement in the Bangladesh Liberation War: this was a war between Bangladesh and Pakistan. Kissinger remained in a close relationship with Pakistan which, by now, was known to be committing horrendous human rights abuses, including large scale killings of the Bangladeshis. In fact, Kissinger and America provided funding for them. America was aligned in the first place because of bullshit Cold War alliances.

-Supporting and funding a dictator over an elected president: Chile had elected a *gasp* socialist president that really made Kissinger piss his pants. Project FUBELT, directly under Kissinger’s guidance, initiated covert actions to undermine and prevent the socialist President, Salvador Allende, from rising to power. Financial support was provided to anti-Allende groups and would eventually provided support to a military coup who would kill Allende. The leader of the coup, Augusto Pinochet, would then assume power and take rule an authoritarian government and become a dictator for 17 years. Under his rule, torture and executions were carried out against political dissidents and others. This wasn’t a secret.

-Supported the brutal invasion of East Timor: Indonesia would invade and occupy East Timor in 1975. Kissinger and Nixon had knowledge of the invasion beforehand and provided military support despite the knowledge of human rights abuses already taking place in East Timor by the Indonesians, abuses often using US weapons. Massacres, forced displacement, suppression of political dissents, torture, sexual abuse, restrictions of religious and cultural practices, and scorched earth policies are just some examples.

To my knowledge, these are usually the largest reasons cited, but please add more if I’m wrong. There are also lesser known atrocities either supported or funded by Kissinger, many taking place in Africa, that I thoroughly implore you to read about. Please correct any inaccurate things I said.

Part of the package of arms transfers that the US will notify to Congress is a new shipment of precision-guided munitions worth more than $1bn dollars and a $2.5bn sale of F-35 fighter jets, Josh Paul, the former director of congressional and public affairs for the State Department’s bureau of political-military affairs, said. The sales are notable because they come amid rising tensions between Biden and Netanyahu over the course of the fighting in Gaza. On Monday, US national security advisor Jake Sullivan said that Biden warned his Israeli counterpart it would be a “mistake” to launch a full-scale ground invasion of Rafah, the southern Gaza city where 1.5 million Palestinians are sheltering. Israel is set to send a technical team to the US to discuss its invasion plans as early as this week, Sullivan said. But on Tuesday, Netanyahu reaffirmed his intention to launch a “ground incursion” into Rafah.
