On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Charles Finfrock, former CIA Senior Operations Officer and Founder & CEO of Vigilance. He discusses the supposed ‘foiled attack’ on RAF Finfrock, which has been blamed on Iran and whether it could have been a false flag. He debates Afshin Rattansi on the history of the CIA false flags and the Wikileaks Vault 7 leaks, Seymour Hersh’s report that the Ghouta 2013 chemical weapons attack was a false flag attack, whether the CIA was working with Al Qaeda in Syria to overthrow Bashar Al-Assad, the extent of the CIA’s role in the Maidan Coup in 2014, whether Israel started the war on Iran purposely to destroy the US’ presence in the Middle East and degrade the power of GCC countries, Iran’s nuclear programme and how close Tehran was to building a nuclear weapon, how isolated Iran is economically, the effectiveness of US sanctions, whether the CIA was involved in the Nord Stream pipeline attacks, and much more.
