An Algerian man, long believed dead, was finally discovered 26 years later, being held prisoner a mere 90 meters from his family home. Omar Bin Omran, then 19 years old, was on his way to a vocational school in 1998 when he mysteriously vanished. As the months and years went on, most of his family assumed he had been killed in the civil war, which lasted from 1992-2002. However, his mother refused to believe it, and there were signs something more sinister had happened: some time after the kidnapping, Omar’s dog was killed. The family suspected he was poisoned. A new lead emerged recently, after the family saw a social media post by one of their neighbors. His brother was arguing with him about an inheritance, and accused him of being involved in the kidnapping. Police searched the neighbor’s home, and a trap door was found; Omar was alive, and had been kept prisoner all this time. Omar said that he could see his family often through a small window, but could never call out for help, like he was under a ‘spell.’ His abductor, now 61, is set to face trial for the ‘heinous crime,’ while Omar is being treated for his ordeal, both physically, and psychologically. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

A Ukrainian ‘Baba Yaga’ type drone attempted to strike Russian paratroopers from the skies. However, Russian forces were not only quick to act, but also quick to discover the drone’s greatest weakness: bullets. The hexacopter attempted its attack above Chasov Yar, just west of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), but the keen eyes (and keen thermal imaging systems) of the paratroopers led to its discovery well before it could reach its target. Those same keen eyes trained their PKM, Pecheneg, and Ak-12 guns on the drone and knocked it clean out of the sky, as this video from the Russian Ministry of Defense shows. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

International affairs are at the top of the news all around the world. With hot conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza, and the Sahel, and would-be confrontations in the Taiwan Strait, the Red Sea, and elsewhere, there is a lot of reporting about various visits of the US secretaries of state and defense and of sensitive negotiations with this country or that. But what is the role of the CIA in all this? Is that role different now that the CIA is led by a professional diplomat? And how different is it now that the CIA is less an intelligence collection agency and more a para-military body? On this episode of the Whistleblowers, John Kiriakou speaks with whistleblower and former senior CIA officer Mel Goodman to answer all these questions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.
