    Hearing these stories of men with promising intelligence careers that ended in infamy, reminds me very much of so many high flying stock market players who ended up broke and / or in jail. Yes I am not a millionaire, but I am also not in jail and in the news for all the wrong reasons. That has to count for something.

    There's possibly a selection bias at work; by definition he's studied failed spies. Maybe there are successful ones whose psychology hasn't been studied. (There was certainly one in Canada, now dead.)
    In the longer term, Snowden is beginning to look more like a patriot than a traitor. He may have embarrassed the agencies whose crimes he exposed, but didn't damage the US.
    West Germany had a considerable problem with lonely female government workers in Bonn, being seduced and recruited by the East.
    A surprising proportion of the agents from the USSR were motivated by disgust at the system, rather than personal problems.

      WTF - Snowden disclosed TOR, the software used to access the Deep Web which only CERTAIN Top Secret clearance military could use. After this, the Silk Web was created. The were a criminal website store which sold murders for hire, drugs, etc. That was taken down and the creator got life in prison. NEXT came Alpha Bay, the largest crime ring in history - over 61,000 store fronts. Resulting in thousands, probably tens of thousands of sealed indictments. Jeff Sessions asked Trump for military backup to prevent a Civil outbreak which the crooks could create a civil war with. TRUMP REFUSED! Trump knew that many had dirt on him and in plea bargains would result in him and his closest echelon, the Clinton Crime Syndicate, of being part of plea bargains as well as the indicted ones. TRUMP FIRED Rex Tillerson while Tillerson wasn't even in the country - in a damn tweet! Trump was impeached but nobody punished him, except maybe a censure. This is a terribly lawless government. Mike Pompeo wanted emergency immunity because his a$$ was grass after USMC had to bomb the CIA factories because Pompeo wouldn't! Once Trump made Pompeo Secretary of State, nobody could touch him.

    Interesting observation when he answers the question about how the US has used vulnerabilities to recruit spies from other countries. He cites an example of how the US might become aware that a KGB agent's wife is suffering from some horrible disease, and then convince him to spy against his own country by getting him an antibiotic that isn't available in the Soviet Union, essentially spying to save his wife's life.
    He points out that we know that exploiting vulnerabilities like this work, and yet on our "defense" side, we don't see how foreign governments use the same strategy to recruit Americans into spying.
    First, I think he's wrong. We know that this is how Americans get recruited. The trick is in compiling information on all these vulnerabilities on all our intelligence workers - not easy. And second, I think we still have a myopic view that we as Americans are somehow "different" or "better" than everybody else, as though we wouldn't be vulnerable to the same pressures that a Soviet agent would be.

      I also find myself extremely dubious when anyone asserts some implicit inherent characteristic or moralistic superiority bias held in common by x nation, in contrast to the frail human condition shared by all those Others over in y nation.
      Any grouping and reification of some class of people, which is distinguished from either a specific alternative group, or else simply everyone else, is to me immediately problematic. It must, unless we return to some kind of racial/national mapping of innate genetic, cultural, etc., differences then it seems reductively black and white to think anything but that we all of us have a common heritage of human strengths, weaknesses, motivations, fears, hopes, ego, emotional complexity, confusion, and basic animal drives combined with intellectually reached ideals, for better or worse, spread across the board.
      I don't think anyone who practises a need to deeply engage with an alien target population can do otherwise than to reject polarised or simplified accounts of both themselves and their targets.

    a) completely incompetent and doesn't give a damn b/c everyone else us terrified of them.
    b) someone above them who is already on board with whatever enemy or what have you.

    I’m curious why their aren’t protocols for agents who have turned coat, but want to come clean and flip back. I would imagine having a system in which an agent can come clean and by doing so then be used as a tool in disinformation for the enemy. Having such a protocol would also cause a situation in which the enemy could never accept any agent seeking to turn coat. As far as the fact that the agent could never be fully trusted that surely is true however their are ways to continue to use said agent without worrying about breaching information. At the very least the agent should be allowed to come clean and after debriefing, they should be discharged from service, and barred from any jobs with any security clearance but still have the opportunity to make a life for themselves and their family. I believe that the current methods have obvious faults and so why isn’t their research on how to develop better protocols for double agents.

    • @judyjackson2260
      @judyjackson2260 3 года назад +1

      Even if a traitor comes clean they should not just be able to go on with their lives with no consequences. Especially if people are arrested, tortured or killed because of their actions. Then there is the cost and danger to our nation to figure in. No free rides. They must pay for the betrayal.

    We all know what makes a traitor to an enemy country tick. They're brave people who take a stand against evil because of the high ideals that surface, often from contact with cultured outreachers from our country. Principles and morality triumph.
    Of course, I don't mean our traitors. Traitors to our country are inherently evil people who give way to unethical and sordid malignant psychological corruption that is latent within them, or else they're weak and succumbed to vice like greed, or some other corruption or coercion, and these triumph over principles and morality.
    It's that simple. Thank fuck it's that simple, it's better than having to think about the illegality and disturbing activity exposed within a government by their traitors.

    So I'm commenting like I'm watching this live. And so you get to the park where you're talking about why why and then you say the white chromosome that's cute anyway so I just thinking to myself basically without punctuation sorry you'll work it out I'm sure. There's one for you the problem is that you might talk to text stops after punctuation and I think that it's easier to just let it roll. Here we go again it didn't work that time either so at any rate my idea is to be able to explain things to people in short order even though this is totally contradictory to this text. Throwing some comedy in here. Anyway I'll get back to you I can't stop laughing.
