The Twentieth Day in January was published in 1980 and tells the story of an MI6 officer discovering that the Russian government is blackmailing the incoming president. In this subscriber-only podcast we take a look at the book and dwell a little on its implications, and I offer my views on why the whole Trump-Russia-Dossier nonsense has so quickly fallen from the media spotlight.

The intelligence agencies of the US and the UK were chartered to serve the government and protect national security by gathering information, analyzing data and making recommendations to government officials. At least that is how it was sold to the public in the beginning.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodies is a Latin phrase meaning, who will guard the guards? Much has been said about Trump’s need to ‘watch his back’ do to his high level enemies in the deep state.

A nation’s intelligent service and secret police is only as good as its mission. Unless its soul mission is to protect public safety, such an organisation has outlived its usefulness.
By Adam Garrie | The Duran | January 14, 2017 Donald Trump is no fan of post-1979 Iran, but name me any former US President who was?

Donald Trump is no fan of post-1979 Iran, but name me any former US President who was? However, there is one character in modern Iranian history that Trump ought to feel some level of sympathy with. That man is former Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh.
