The Director of the Central Intelligence Agency Gina Haspel is a “disgusting murderous criminal” who was promoted to CIA chief for her role in inflicting torture on terror suspects, an American scholar and political commentator says.

“She tortured people; she was a torture specialist; I guess that’s how you rise to the top of the CIA these days; is by specializing in inflicting horrific suffering on your fellow human beings, and in this case on innocent ones,” said Kevin Barrett, an author, journalist and radio host in Madison, Wisconsin.  Continue reading “CIA chief Gina Haspel is ‘disgusting murderous criminal’: Scholar”

Smart chips that will create super-intelligent humans are in development, and China is mining data from the brains of citizens.  Continue reading “Zombie Science: Researchers Kept the Brains of Decapitated Pigs Alive For 36 Hours”
