Gina Haspel, actual subdirectora de la Agencia Central de Inteligencia (CIA), fue nominada este martes para convertirse en la primera mujer en dirigir esa entidad de espionaje estadounidense. Sin embargo, su nombramiento fue recibido con recelo debido a su oscuro pasado, en el que abundan los relatos de torturas.

Su designación aún debe ser confirmada por el Senado. Si es aprobada, Haspel reemplazará a Mike Pompeo, a quien el presidente Donald Trump también designó el martes como nuevo jefe de la diplomacia estadounidense tras despedir a Rex Tillerson a través de un mensaje en Twitter.

Perfil 

Haspel, una espía de 61 años muy experimentada en operaciones clandestinas, integra la CIA desde 1985. Fue jefe de puesto en varios lugares del mundo, principalmente en Londres a fines de los años 2000.

Su trabajo le valió numerosos reconocimientos a su trayectoria profesional, como la medalla de Inteligencia al Mérito Civil o el premio George H.W. Bush a la Excelencia en Labores de Contraterrorismo. En este sentido, su expediente es intachable.

"Gina es una espía ejemplar y una patriota dedicada que aporta más de 30 años de experiencia a la agencia, y es una líder experimentada con una capacidad fantástica para hacer cosas e inspirar a quienes la rodean", declaró Pompeo hace un año, al nombrar a Haspel número dos de la CIA.

Cuestionamientos

Haspel fue nombrada en 2013 al frente del Servicio Nacional Clandestino de la CIA, pero fue rápidamente reemplazada tras cuestionamientos sobre su papel en interrogatorios posteriores al 11 de septiembre, que incluyeron métodos considerados como tortura, como el submarino.

La prensa nacional hace hoy eco de cómo, supuestamente, Haspel fue la máxima responsable de una prisión secreta en Tailandia, que fue abierta por el Gobierno estadounidense poco después de los atentados del 11 de septiembre de 2001 y a la cual fueron trasladados varios presuntos terroristas islamistas.

El Washington Post afirmó que Haspel participó en la destrucción en 2005 de videos comprometedores sobre las técnicas de "interrogatorio intensivo", como el submarino, aplicadas a varios detenidos, presuntos miembros de la red islamista Al Qaeda.

Reacciones desde el Senado

El presidente de la comisión de Inteligencia del Senado, el republicano Richard Burr, ya anunció que apoyará su nombramiento, diciendo que tiene "las habilidades, la experiencia y el juicio necesario para liderar una de las agencias más importantes del país".

El senador republicano John McCain por el contrario advirtió que así como Pompeo se comprometió a respetar la ley que prohíbe el uso de la tortura al asumir la dirección de la CIA, también debe hacerlo Haspel "cuya carrera en el seno de la agencia cruzó en varias ocasiones el programa de técnicas de interrogatorio agresivo".

El senador demócrata Ron Wyden ha anunciado que se opondrá a la nominación de Haspel. "Si la señora Haspel busca servir en los más altos niveles de inteligencia de Estados Unidos, el gobierno ya no podrá encubrir hechos perturbadores de su pasado", dijo el martes. (Con información de Efe y Afp)

      • It appears to me that this is a key aspect of the 2030 initiative ideology. While the Rothschilds were indeed influential individuals who were able to sway governments, much like present-day billionaires, the true impetus for change stems from the omnipotent forces (Satan) shaping our world. In this case, there is a false God of this world. However, what drives action within a political framework? Power! What is unfolding before our eyes in today's world? The relentless struggle for power. The overwhelming tide of people rising. We cannot underestimate the direct and sinister influence of Satan in all of this. However, it is up to individuals to decide how they choose to worship God. Satanism, as a form of religion, cannot be regarded as a true religion. Consequently, just as ancient practices of child sacrifice had a place in God's world, such sacrifices would never be accepted by the True God of our universe. Despite the promising 2030 initiative for those involved, it is unfortunately disintegrating due to the actions of certain individuals in positions of authority. A recent incident serves as a glaring example, involving a conflict between peaceful Muslims and a Jewish representative that unfolded just this week. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/11/us-delegation-saudi-arabia-kippah?ref=upstract.com Saudi Arabia was among the countries that agreed to the initiative signed by approximately 179 nations in or around 1994. However, this initiative is now being undermined by the devil himself, who is sowing discord among the delegates due to the ongoing Jewish-Hamas (Palestine) conflict. Fostering antisemitism. What kind of sacrifice does Satan accept with the death of babies and children in places like Gaza, Ukraine, and other conflicts around the world, whether in the past or present, that God wouldn't? Whatever personal experiences we may have had with well-known individuals, true Christians understand that current events were foretold long ago, and nothing can prevent them from unfolding. What we are witnessing is the result of Satan's wrath upon humanity, as was predicted. A true religion will not involve itself in the politics of this world, as it is aware of the many detrimental factors associated with such engagement. It understands the true intentions of Satan for this world and wisely chooses to stay unaffected by them.
      • This idea that Satan can put Jews in power implies that God doesn't want Jews in power. But that would also imply that God only wants "Christians" including Hitler, Biden, Pol Pot, Chiang Kai-Shek, etc. 
      • @Mic Drop, I don't buy it. I watched the movie. It has all the hallmarks of the anti-semitic tropes that began to rise precipitously on social media during the last few years - pre-current-Gaza-war. And it has similarities to the same anti-semitic tropes that began to rise in Europe in the 900's to 1100's. It was back in the 500s AD/CE that many Khazars failed to take or keep land they fought for around what's now Ukraine and southern Russia. Khazars with a view to regaining power were still being driven out into the 900's. And therefore they migrated to what's now called Eastern Europe. It's also true that many of their groups converted to Judaism after settling in Eastern Europe. It's possibly also true that they could be hired as mercenaries even after their own designs on empire had dwindled.  But I think the film takes advantage of the fact that so few historical records have ever been considered reliable by the West when it comes to these regions. So it's easy to fill the vacuum with some very old antisemitic claims, fables, rumors, etc..  The mention of Eisenhower in the movie was kind of a giveaway, too. It's like, Oh NO! The United States had a Jew in power once. How on earth could THAT have happened? Could it be . . . SATAN??" Trying to tie a connection back to Babylonian Child Sacrifice Black Magick, Secret Satanism, and Baal worship has long been a trope for those who need to think that no Jews like the Rothschilds and Eisenhowers (????) etc would not have been able to get into power in otherwise "Christian" nations without help from Satan.    Does child sacrifice actually work to gain power?? Does drinking blood? Does pedophilia??? (also mentioned in the movie) Yes, it's an evil world and many people have evil ideologies based on greed and lust and ego. But how exactly does child sacrifice or pedophilia or drinking blood produce a more powerful nation or cabal of some kind? To me that's a giveaway that the authors know that the appeal will be to people who don't really care about actual historical evidence. Also, the author(s) of the video proved that they have not done much homework, but are just trying to fill that supposed knowledge gap by grasping at old paranoid and prejudicial premises. (BTW, my mother and grandmother, in 1941 and 1942, sat next to Dwight Eisenhower's mother at an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eisenhower family had been involved in a couple of "Christian" religions and a couple of them associated with IBSA and JWs for many years.)
