Ex-Agent: US Ignores Its Own Intel And Uses Spy Agencies For Internal Propaganda | Graham Fuller

Just as Seymour Hersh wrote in his latest piece on Substack, US politicians ignore information from their own intelligence agencies. Former CIA Agent, Graham Fuller, talks about his 25 years at the agency, the job of a spy, and the many shortcomings of the way intelligence is used in today's political environment. Politicians cherry pick intelligence and disregard most of the insights the agency produces while some politicians and news papers like to dress up any propaganda as "intelligence" from "secret" sources. This is not what the CIA is supposed to be.

Ambassador Chas Freeman recommended Graham Fuller, for a talk about the link between intelligence agencies and foreign policy. Mr. Fuller is uniquely qualified to talk about it not only because he used to work for the CIA, but he did so during the hight of the cold war, mostly in the middle east, or as Ambassador Freeman recommends calling it, West Asia.

Graham Fuller was born in 1937 and, in his own words, always expected to become an academic, but his draft board deemed otherwise. He was drafted and sent into intelligence work as a CIA operations officer in Turkey, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Afghanistan and Hong Kong, after which he became an analyst at the agency and later joined the RAND corporation, the famous conservative West-Coast think tank.
