What?!? You mean the guy that only brings up things that have already been made public by the CIA and then turns around to praise and make clear they "don't do that anymore and are all working to make America safe."
@intelcom4964 Your name is intel and your saying a comparison between drug dealers and the CIA as ridiculous? Is this satire? If not Google "CIA sells drugs."
Right. Why aren't foreign agents coming after this guy? It doesn't make any sense. But, we all know that they can't put anything on the internet that isn't true.
After Jesse Ventura got elected Governor of Minnesota as an independent, CIA requested to meet with him because their analysts wanted to learn how he overcame the two party duopoly. He said one of the more interesting things about the meeting was "They were not what I expected. They were very ordinary-looking people, like the kind of people you'd see walking their dog, or who you'd wave to if they were your neighbors."
I'm a long-retired CIA employee, and he describes the situation perfectly. The highest a real worker can go in the agency is GS-15; after that it is all political. And those guys would sell their country out in a heartbeat to go from GS 16-1 to GS-16-2. That's why my wife and I took early retirement as soon as we could, before we went crazy.
I don’t know. As a former Air Force B-52 officer, I had a TS-SCI security clearance. My understanding was that it was in force for five years and then had to be done again, which would make you good for another five years. And I only had access to TS info I was cleared to know, meaning only info I needed for my specific job. That’s what’s meant by “compartmented.” I couldn’t read up on UFOs or the JFK hit. I didn’t have clearance to know about that shit. And, once I got out of the Air Force, I no longer had access to any Top Secret or even classified information. None! The only thing that made having that clearance important in the civilian world was that your employer knew that the feds had done a fairly thorough background investigation on you and hadn’t found anything “bad.”
I also had a TS from DHS. Your TS lasts 5 years. You have to go thru another full background check to keep your clearance going. It doesn't automatically renew itself. I don't think this guy knows what he's talking about. It's subtle mistakes like this that makes me believe that this guy might be full of crap
You're correct, unless you join a psuedo government agency/contractor immediately after you leave service. Many reserve personnel have the leg up as they are able to be in the civilian job during their service and/or prior to leaving. I transitioned to a state NG and had acquired way more civilian contacts. During the past/current GWOT, those who get deployed to any combat theatre have been exposed to more contractors than any war or combat action prior. At my last FOB, there was a mix of State Dept, CIA, ODA, and contractors performing similar and simultaneous functions. Long story short, if your background investigation is recent enough and clearance is still current, a civilian transition into a similar or higher level role is very possible and seamless.
I understand what you're saying but I'm assuming that security clearances are not all the same either because apparently certain people still have security clearances after they leave their positions in the government otherwise this conversation wouldn't even be happening?
He stopped peoples clearance that had been out of office for years but were still meddling in foreign and domestic matters due to their still active security clearance. Thats why. This was for politicians also.
@qplus-tc5hh it's ok for drumpf to stop everyone else meddling in foreign affairs except for drumpf. Who kept all the govt intelligence files in Mary Largo , for fat orange
The CIA spiraled out of control in the 20 years after WW2, when "National Security" was sufficient justification for the military-industrial complex to run wild. They became untouchable when they engineered the killing of JFK, which they did because he was set on reining them in after they went under his nose for the Bay of Pigs incident. I doubt the really out of control part is even under the CIA umbrella now, congress knows about the CIA and can try to regulate them.
This dude is literally a spokesperson for the agency. It wasn’t enough to just be a former agency guy. He’s adopted the entire “im a cool long haired hippy, you can trust me, i’m just like you”. Not fooling anyone.
100% correct! He isn’t a “former” spy at all. He is 100% an agent and it’s funny most people don’t see it. He has been on 4238 podcast in 538 days 😂 anyone who thinks he isn’t spewing a controlled message is an idiot. He says spies don’t kill people 😂 every other spy interview they say “oh yeah we kill people”
This. To the T. Im not super interested in hearing him talk anymore after hearing him talk at length 3-4 different times He inadvertently reps the cia/war machines interests and he’s slick about it
At this point it’s obvious, the man has done so many podcast in the last year or so. The CIA isn’t about to let “former” employees go around spilling the beans

This been going on for 6000 years Humanity have to stop Living Evil following these DEVILS..the Government Selling The Drugs and Started all WARs to Bind Humanity in HELL
I've thought this never single time I hear this guy talk. There's zero chance he's just quit the CIA to be a family man... come on 🤣 and he's just allowed to spill the beans as a career. 🤔
Watch him when he talks to another gal from the CIA. The younger folks were pushing political agenda and pushing regime change as well. He is leaving that out. FBI is corrupt and political at the top too. It isn't the agents. We need to pardon the people that blew the whistle on spying on Americans.
I'm all for these kind of interviews. But you lose a massive amount of credibility when you're like "Yeah, I know James Baker he's great". But it's Mike Baker.
they lose credibility for.. misremembering somebodies name? despite lavishing praise on them for their skill/abilities? grow up. its a name. nothing more... you fucking plum.

Keeping a Security Clearance after employment makes no sense. The first question asked is, "does this person have a need to know?" Having a clearance with that fact makes no sense.
It’s for the private/public partnership so private companies can work on (highly) classified programs for manufacturing or services ( Mussolini’s definition of Fascism).
Those are independent things. You can hold clearance for 5 years, it happens all the time. Does not mean you will get access to information, unless you are compartmentalized for it, need to know.
When I left the position in the federal government that gave me my top secret security clearance, I did not take it with me. I don't know if this guy's talking about
@@Doorkicker505 If your clearance was up to date, the company (that needs clearances) has an advantage as it costs them much less to transition it rather than starting from scratch.
Simply holding a clearance isn’t a ticket to whatever you want. There is still the need to know that is relevant. Once you have a clearance of whatever level there is no reason for it to be terminated unless for cause. Just put a pause on it so you don’t have to immediately fall into another job having a sponsoring owner to maintain.
Props to Andrew for calling this dude out I loved it he and Mike Baker clearly work for cia still and it's all their assignment to do these interviews.
What would be the objective? How is he helping the agency? Personally, what comes to mind is helping to recruit new people by keeping CIA in mind. Is there some nefarious goal you figure he & Baker are up to???
I had a TS/SCI clearance, when I retired. If I had a job set up, that required me to maintain my clearance and it had to have a connection to the Federal Government. My clearance would still need to be renewed every 5 years. If I did not have that kind of job set up, my clearance would disappear after either 2 years or if the clearance were due to be renewed, say in 6 months, it would be done and over with. All these so-called intel experts you see on the news, should have had their clearances removed as soon as they retired. The only reason they were hired by the MSM is due to their clearances and access. Something they are legally not allowed to share with people who have no clearance.
Very true, I had a clearance for 36 years, as soon as you leave a position it goes into hibernation. If not reactivated within two years, the investigation will start from scratch instead of just an admin update ( SF86)..
"The only reason they were hired by the MSM is due to their clearances and access. Something they are legally not allowed to share with people who have no clearance." ahhh thats what "on condition of anonymity" means.
@@F1ght1ngIrish- Or more likely he knew who Andrew was referring to based off the memorable name Baker attached to "podcast CIA guy" and instantly knew who meant and didn't even catch the first name because Mike and James are such common names they're interchangeable. 90% of us would miss it but still know who he meant the same way if we were asked, "Baker the CIA podcast guy" is all the relevant information our brains need to pick up

Because of the priveleges of rank. If you were an active team member you were at best a CPO, a lieutenant, or a warrant. If you worked at the pentagon and you did anything other than fetch coffee for admirals you were probably at least a commander. Some things never change. You might be a top notch tier one guy but to pentagon people you are a grunt, and, do to class distinction, do not deserve the perk of maintaining clearance post exit. I am also sure that I do not need to tell you that most high ranking officers who are not elite qualified despise elites.
@3:40 if security clearance is reduced that will lead to fast retirements and later in video its is told that Trump made complicated for higher agents to move out of system that made lower staff to be afraid of their future... Isn't both things opposite of each other
Another way of describing how he spoke of the two levels of workers in the CIA is the Iron Law of Bureaucracy. It is not limited to the CIA, it is in effect in all government organizations. "Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people: First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration. Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. Examples are many of the administrators in the education system, many professors of education, many teachers union officials, much of the NASA headquarters staff, etc. The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization." The second group are the ones who get to the GS-15 and SES levels of the civil service. NB: I worked in the federal government for 23 years. The rule is truly ironclad.
After working 43+ years in the military and Civilian Department of Defense, I can't argue with your assessment - pretty accurate. The GS 15s and SESs fit into that group very well.
He speaks truth. Worked in government for 20 years. Held a TS. Made it relatively high up. The day i retired i had 3 6 figure job offers. I was in cyber and that area is HUGE now. Would've been rich in 5 years. Couldn't do it. Such a fucked up industry to work in. Much happier now. Talk to friends still doing it and their lives are miserable.
Private intelligence actually makes sense. The President can find a company they trust and for the Presidents term they become their own personal intelligence and then hands over classified information at the end. Then at the end they hand everything over to a vault of some kind.
When I left in 2011, I had to sign my de-indoctrination papers for my security clearance. You don't keep your clearance until it expires, like he says.
@@andrewjones4841he is a rucking book licker who will say or do anything if he perceives it as being beneficial to himself. He is a narcissistic grifter, a quintessential yes man.
So this is a misnomer a security clearance can be removed after you leave your position if your security manager does it. Also clearances on the base level has a set time frame. But the network thing does exist. A lot of people are interested in hiring people with existing clearances because it does save them money as it can cost 10k to 120k depending on the type for an initial clearance. It is cheaper though to renew an existing clearance though.
James Addison Baker III was the US Secretary of State under President George H. W. Bush. So of course he would know who James Baker is, and then he just had to roll with the rest.

Excellent discussion. I worked in government for 43 years, and the assessment was pretty good. I was interviewed by an intelligence agency but for a number of reasons, decided to pass it up. If the Intelligence agencies are politicized, you will seldom have reliable, honest, and good intelligence. If the Department of Justice is politicized, you dissolve into injustice, tyranny, and a police state. If the Judiciary is politicized, you can lose rule of law, freedom, justice, and the end of a democratic republic.

Been briefed by State (CIA?) well that info was put on the back burner just in case. I just tried to figure out what would I do in the opponent's position. Well the probability is, that like me. They did not graduate from a Ivy League school.
When suggested that he still works for CIA dudes body posture changed, he started blinking rapidly, and his face became obviously distressed. Until he leaned back and refocused his energy by grabbing the conversation into his hands, while making a movement with his hands that insisted he is now going to speak, also giving him a psychological boost he needed while his status was being called into question. He used his hands to put a temporary wall between the two of them, it helped him regain his composure

@@billseventy6825 there was a time when they would use regular army spec ops personnel, usually S.F. on an “as needed” basis for wet work. Some were officially dropped from army roles for the duration of the operation. It was referred to as “white washing.” When the U-2 was first deployed there were Air Force operated U-2’s and CIA operated U-2’s. All of the CIA pilots came out of the Air Force’s pilot pool but were officially discharged from the Air Force and worked directly for the CIA. This was referred to as “bleaching.” Through most of the history of Army S.F., training and leading indigenous personnel into direct insurgent/counter-insurgent operations has been handled by regular Army S.F. personnel. Payroll for the indigenous force is handled by CIA personnel. In addition, historically, for covert combat operations involving indigenous personnel procurement was also handled by CIA staff. I’ve heard them referred to as “bagmen”. It is not a complimentary moniker. Laos in the 1960’s is a good example. The CIA would convince the indigenous people to grow opium, opium would be sold for gold and gold would be used to procure weapons and equipment. The KGB was at times surprisingly uninvolved directly with wet work. They usually used Bulgarians for the dirty stuff. Not to say there were not cold blooded bastards in the KGB. Take a good look at Vladimir Putin’s eyes. Always reminded me of when a shark rolls that nictitating membrane over his eye right before he bites. Bulgarians were used when the Soviets felt they needed to bother with plausible deniability. I would not be surprised if the modern CIA contracts out to privates for the same reason.
Oversight and accountability are extreme hindrances when dealing with things that involve a covert or clandestine nature. You have to move quickly and a lot of times do things that blur the lines of morality if you want to accomplish a goal and it’s literally impossible to do that if every two seconds you have to check in with a lawyer or bureaucrat in DC and ask “hey is it ok if I do X”. This is why the private sector is so vastly ahead of the gov when it comes to the creation and adoption of technology. Intelligence gathering is no exception.
I agree but, look at all the treason and federal crimes committed by politicians.... they are not held accountable and their allegiance goes to the highest bid.
Where is government oversight? Private sector has market oversight. Government intel agencies don't even have actual Congressional oversight. It is all dog and pony "hearings" where the intel reps get in and say a lot of nothing - can't recall, won't say, don't have that info, etc.. And there is never any accountability for it. Hell, they can go into a hearing and lie their asses off and not even catch a contempt of congress charge. And just because you are not wise enough to know that selling out that info will cost you more than you got, doesn't mean professionals are.
This guy means well and he does have a fair amount of "insider information" but he is also in many cases talking beyond his experience. He weaves facts, truth, and personal experience with supposition and opinion.
That gullible people like you re. Now you people can't separate reality from fiction. Anyone can say anything today and you people will believe it. 😂 Now with internet and social media it's now easy find people like you and toy with the Brain
The part he's referring to clearance expiring is sort of true. If you have clearance and work for the gov. and move to a private company that is allowed to have clearance they will move your clearance with a short review. Then its year to year after.
We got an ex-CIA government guy, he fired all of the Republicans. His thing was to get back at all of the people in the company who were having affairs with co-workers, just like how his Boss was raked over the coals for that. He fired the very financial brain that made the company what it was. He had issues and vendettas, and he was allowed to steamroll right in. It cost thousands of employees and shareholders tons of money in countless ways. The company finally got back its share price, and it took 20 years. Now the evil is being perpetuated in a think-tank. I wouldn’t be surprised if all of this ridiculous tax legislation on home equity and unrealized capital gains is coming out of that abyss, the dark, evil abyss of destruction.
So, you are in favor of allowing the wealthy to evade taxes on unrealized capital gains while using the "unrealized" gains to provide the same benefits as cash?
Miss Dixie, what you are ascribing to me is that I’m in favor of evading taxes by the wealthy. Don’t put those words in my mouth. You can’t evade taxes if no one passes a stupid tax law. Yea, if no one “thinks of” a stupid tax law, you can’t evade it. People that think of these stupid laws are creating crime where there was none before. The fallacy you are swallowing is that it’s only “the wealthy” who have unrealized gains. Try and get your head around who has unrealized gains in this country. If you’re Joe Schmoe the plumber, saving for retirement, you have assets, and unrealized gains, that is your goal. Anyone who has any inkling of what an asset is, you’re against anyone having wealth, you’re not for this country. You need to go live in a communist country, and be happy not owning anything. I’m so glad the Supreme Court got more power. We need protection from these knuckleheads writing these bubble headed laws designed to take down this country.
@annoravetz5188 After reading your response, I have determined that you actually don't support the wealthy paying taxes. I know there are a lot of stupid tax breaks for the wealthy, like not taxing capital gains on stocks, yet those stocks help the owner to maintain a very luxurious lifestyle. Think of it this way, do you think all of Bezo, Musk, Buffet, etc. wealth can be found in banks? If you know that it isn't, how do you think they maintain their lifestyle? Name a tax you think is stupid and should be abolished
This guy is full of it. Your TS/SCI has to be redone every 5 years. If you get out and you haven’t had your security clearance renewed in say three years, it only has two years left on it. It’s not just there forever.
Yes, I was going to say that there is such a thing as reinvestigation which is completed every 5 years to re-establish your clearance with TS and SCI. You are in fact right and this guy is speaking some truth and is flat out wrong on others.

I can't go back to my old company and get information that I had access to when I worked for them. It is insane to let former employees continue to have access. If this issue was put to a vote by American voters, 85% would vote to cut all security clearances, and access to former security agencies and the military. There are boatloads of things that us citizens would change in government if we were given a vote.
Some classified information is public knowledge. For instance, it is said that a guy did projectile data on the bow and arrow and that information was classified during WW2.
You don’t you just keep your security clearance. You require access,clearance and need to know . When you leave your position you lose access and need to know. There are forms you sign when you begin and the forms come back when you leave. Basically stating you won’t discuss the classified info with people. The problem is when higher ups disregard this to appease bosses as upholding these standards may hurt their chances of promotion when they come to visit.
You still have clearance, but yes, you would loose access to information unless you were contracted and involved in a job that requires you to know certain things. Even then, it would be limited in scope to what you need to know. Just because one has TS clearance doesn't mean I have access to all documents that are labeled TS. You can still only see things that you need to see based on your current mission or job.

It’s before taxes, and it is heavily taxed. The problem is the more you make, the more you’re exposed to people who make more. I grew up with a father that probably made 300-500k a year (in Georgia). We lived a very weird mix of rich and poor. Lived in a farm, all the boys had to pay for everything from the time we were 16 (started at 12, any food we ate that was at the kitchen table, clothes, anything we had to pay for), sisters were given brand new luxury cars (Lexus) for their birthdays and were given new vehicles when they totaled them or (DUI’ed). Pop was a sexist and didn’t mind telling my brothers and I this 😂! Anyways, while the boys tended to spend most of our time with blue collar farmer types my sisters went to private schools where the average student came from a $10M home. Made for interesting groups.
He was talking about where you begin and then he mentioned that after 30 years of working in the government 160,000 so yeah he is accurate. There are plenty of people that just go into sales as a junior salesman and 30 years later will be making $250,000 a year in the right place especially if they are somehow involved directly with Wall Street. It can also be much much more.
Thanks for explaining the two tracts of government. Love getting my info from comedians and whomever they unearth. Glad they hid the bong before filming.

I don’t know. As a former Air Force B-52 officer, I had a TS-SCI security clearance. My understanding was that it was in force for five years and then had to be done again, which would make you good for another five years. And I only had access to TS info I was cleared to know, meaning only info I needed for my specific job. That’s what’s meant by “compartmented.” I couldn’t read up on UFOs or the JFK hit. I didn’t have clearance to know about that shit. And, once I got out of the Air Force, I no longer had access to any Top Secret or even classified information. None! The only thing that made having that clearance important in the civilian world was that your employer knew that the feds had done a fairly thorough background investigation on you and hadn’t found anything “bad.”
That is how all clearance works.
I also had a TS from DHS. Your TS lasts 5 years. You have to go thru another full background check to keep your clearance going. It doesn't automatically renew itself. I don't think this guy knows what he's talking about. It's subtle mistakes like this that makes me believe that this guy might be full of crap
@@Doorkicker505 I agree! And that missing lower tooth doesn’t help his case!
You're correct, unless you join a psuedo government agency/contractor immediately after you leave service. Many reserve personnel have the leg up as they are able to be in the civilian job during their service and/or prior to leaving. I transitioned to a state NG and had acquired way more civilian contacts. During the past/current GWOT, those who get deployed to any combat theatre have been exposed to more contractors than any war or combat action prior. At my last FOB, there was a mix of State Dept, CIA, ODA, and contractors performing similar and simultaneous functions. Long story short, if your background investigation is recent enough and clearance is still current, a civilian transition into a similar or higher level role is very possible and seamless.
I understand what you're saying but I'm assuming that security clearances are not all the same either because apparently certain people still have security clearances after they leave their positions in the government otherwise this conversation wouldn't even be happening?
He stopped peoples clearance that had been out of office for years but were still meddling in foreign and domestic matters due to their still active security clearance.
Thats why.

The CIA spiraled out of control in the 20 years after WW2, when "National Security" was sufficient justification for the military-industrial complex to run wild. They became untouchable when they engineered the killing of JFK, which they did because he was set on reining them in after they went under his nose for the Bay of Pigs incident. I doubt the really out of control part is even under the CIA umbrella now, congress knows about the CIA and can try to regulate them.

Keeping a Security Clearance after employment makes no sense. The first question asked is, "does this person have a need to know?" Having a clearance with that fact makes no sense.
It’s for the private/public partnership so private companies can work on (highly) classified programs for manufacturing or services ( Mussolini’s definition of Fascism).
Those are independent things. You can hold clearance for 5 years, it happens all the time. Does not mean you will get access to information, unless you are compartmentalized for it, need to know.
When I left the position in the federal government that gave me my top secret security clearance, I did not take it with me. I don't know if this guy's talking about
@@Doorkicker505 If your clearance was up to date, the company (that needs clearances) has an advantage as it costs them much less to transition it rather than starting from scratch.
Simply holding a clearance isn’t a ticket to whatever you want. There is still the need to know that is relevant. Once you have a clearance of whatever level there is no reason for it to be terminated unless for cause. Just put a pause on it so you don’t have to immediately fall into another job having a sponsoring owner to maintain.
Props to Andrew for calling this dude out I loved it he and Mike Baker clearly work for cia still and it's all their assignment to do these interviews.

What would be the objective? How is he helping the agency?
Personally, what comes to mind is helping to recruit new people by keeping CIA in mind.
Is there some nefarious goal you figure he & Baker are up to???
This dude is now on the show Beyond Skin Walker Ranch.
I had a TS/SCI clearance, when I retired. If I had a job set up, that required me to maintain my clearance and it had to have a connection to the Federal Government. My clearance would still need to be renewed every 5 years. If I did not have that kind of job set up, my clearance would disappear after either 2 years or if the clearance were due to be renewed, say in 6 months, it would be done and over with. All these so-called intel experts you see on the news, should have had their clearances removed as soon as they retired. The only reason they were hired by the MSM is due to their clearances and access. Something they are legally not allowed to share with people who have no clearance.
Very true, I had a clearance for 36 years, as soon as you leave a position it goes into hibernation. If not reactivated within two years, the investigation will start from scratch instead of just an admin update ( SF86)..
So why is this guy giving Trump credit for what's common practice according to you ?

As a former Navy Special Warfare Operator, our clearances are revoked the day of discharge. Why is the Pentagon different?
Because of the priveleges of rank. If you were an active team member you were at best a CPO, a lieutenant, or a warrant. If you worked at the pentagon and you did anything other than fetch coffee for admirals you were probably at least a commander. Some things never change.
You might be a top notch tier one guy but to pentagon people you are a grunt, and, do to class distinction, do not deserve the perk of maintaining clearance post exit.

Another way of describing how he spoke of the two levels of workers in the CIA is the Iron Law of Bureaucracy. It is not limited to the CIA, it is in effect in all government organizations.
"Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people:
First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration.
Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. Examples are many of the administrators in the education system, many professors of education, many teachers union officials, much of the NASA headquarters staff, etc.
The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization."
The second group are the ones who get to the GS-15 and SES levels of the civil service. NB: I worked in the federal government for 23 years. The rule is truly ironclad.
Damn, I haven't seen someone reference that in a random YT thread until now. Well done!

When you cease service, your clearance ceases to be in an “active” mode. Nothing changes but the status, active/inactive.
When I left in 2011, I had to sign my de-indoctrination papers for my security clearance. You don't keep your clearance until it expires, like he says.

So this is a misnomer a security clearance can be removed after you leave your position if your security manager does it. Also clearances on the base level has a set time frame. But the network thing does exist. A lot of people are interested in hiring people with existing clearances because it does save them money as it can cost 10k to 120k depending on the type for an initial clearance. It is cheaper though to renew an existing clearance though.

Excellent discussion. I worked in government for 43 years, and the assessment was pretty good. I was interviewed by an intelligence agency but for a number of reasons, decided to pass it up.

@@billseventy6825 there was a time when they would use regular army spec ops personnel, usually S.F. on an “as needed” basis for wet work. Some were officially dropped from army roles for the duration of the operation. It was referred to as “white washing.”
When the U-2 was first deployed there were Air Force operated U-2’s and CIA operated U-2’s. All of the CIA pilots came out of the Air Force’s pilot pool but were officially discharged from the Air Force and worked directly for the CIA. This was referred to as “bleaching.”
Through most of the history of Army S.F., training and leading indigenous personnel into direct insurgent/counter-insurgent operations has been handled by regular Army S.F. personnel. Payroll for the indigenous force is handled by CIA personnel. In addition, historically, for covert combat operations involving indigenous personnel procurement was also handled by CIA staff. I’ve heard them referred to as “bagmen”. It is not a complimentary moniker. Laos in the 1960’s is a good example. The CIA would convince the indigenous people to grow opium, opium would be sold for gold and gold would be used to procure weapons and equipment.
The KGB was at times surprisingly uninvolved directly with wet work. They usually used Bulgarians for the dirty stuff.
Not to say there were not cold blooded bastards in the KGB. Take a good look at Vladimir Putin’s eyes. Always reminded me of when a shark rolls that nictitating membrane over his eye right before he bites. Bulgarians were used when the Soviets felt they needed to bother with plausible deniability. I would not be surprised if the modern CIA contracts out to privates for the same reason.

where does private intelligence get oversight and accountability? no more classified information...everything goes to the highest bidder
Well if you do that you lose future clients.
Oversight and accountability are extreme hindrances when dealing with things that involve a covert or clandestine nature. You have to move quickly and a lot of times do things that blur the lines of morality if you want to accomplish a goal and it’s literally impossible to do that if every two seconds you have to check in with a lawyer or bureaucrat in DC and ask “hey is it ok if I do X”. This is why the private sector is so vastly ahead of the gov when it comes to the creation and adoption of technology. Intelligence gathering is no exception.
I agree but, look at all the treason and federal crimes committed by politicians.... they are not held accountable and their allegiance goes to the highest bid.
Where is government oversight? Private sector has market oversight. Government intel agencies don't even have actual Congressional oversight. It is all dog and pony "hearings" where the intel reps get in and say a lot of nothing - can't recall, won't say, don't have that info, etc.. And there is never any accountability for it. Hell, they can go into a hearing and lie their asses off and not even catch a contempt of congress charge.
And just because you are not wise enough to know that selling out that info will cost you more than you got, doesn't mean professionals are.

It cost thousands of employees and shareholders tons of money in countless ways. The company finally got back its share price, and it took 20 years. Now the evil is being perpetuated in a think-tank. I wouldn’t be surprised if all of this ridiculous tax legislation on home equity and unrealized capital gains is coming out of that abyss, the dark, evil abyss of destruction.
So, you are in favor of allowing the wealthy to evade taxes on unrealized capital gains while using the "unrealized" gains to provide the same benefits as cash?
Miss Dixie, what you are ascribing to me is that I’m in favor of evading taxes by the wealthy. Don’t put those words in my mouth. You can’t evade taxes if no one passes a stupid tax law. Yea, if no one “thinks of” a stupid tax law, you can’t evade it. People that think of these stupid laws are creating crime where there was none before. The fallacy you are swallowing is that it’s only “the wealthy” who have unrealized gains. Try and get your head around who has unrealized gains in this country. If you’re Joe Schmoe the plumber, saving for retirement, you have assets, and unrealized gains, that is your goal. Anyone who has any inkling of what an asset is, you’re against anyone having wealth, you’re not for this country. You need to go live in a communist country, and be happy not owning anything. I’m so glad the Supreme Court got more power. We need protection from these knuckleheads writing these bubble headed laws designed to take down this country.
@annoravetz5188 After reading your response, I have determined that you actually don't support the wealthy paying taxes. I know there are a lot of stupid tax breaks for the wealthy, like not taxing capital gains on stocks, yet those stocks help the owner to maintain a very luxurious lifestyle. Think of it this way, do you think all of Bezo, Musk, Buffet, etc. wealth can be found in banks? If you know that it isn't, how do you think they maintain their lifestyle? Name a tax you think is stupid and should be abolished
Please explain what company this was.
@@TesterBoyme too??
The whole system has been corrupted
Yes. In about 1794.
This guy is full of it. Your TS/SCI has to be redone every 5 years. If you get out and you haven’t had your security clearance renewed in say three years, it only has two years left on it. It’s not just there forever.
Yeah, not anymore. Google 'continuous evaluation'.
It's cheaper for private companies to renew your clearance than to start from scratch. They only go over current background information
Maybe for the rank and file and officially but its common knowledge that some people are getting info that they should not have.
Yes, I was going to say that there is such a thing as reinvestigation which is completed every 5 years to re-establish your clearance with TS and SCI. You are in fact right and this guy is speaking some truth and is flat out wrong on others.
He said the higher ups not the lowbies
Guy I met that worked for the Company didn't talk much, but you could see the burning fire in his eyes with what little he did mention.
These influencers cracked me up where is this $250,000 entry level starting sales job at?
Real estate. 6% of 400,000 is $24,000. Do that 11 times per year and that's $264,000.

@@orlock20 Lol as if real estate sales was that simple. Most homes aren't commissioned at 6% anymore, 3-4% is more typical, and that gets split between the agent and broker. First year real estate agents make around $40k on average.
“Heroes,” he sees his former agency and himself as that.
He lost credibility with that, right at the beginning ...
sadistic sculptors are what I call them.
Right up there with the dancing covid nurses. The term "Hero" has lost its meaning sadly. Think exiting a Higgins boat on D-Day vs a dancing nurse.

NO, It happened at the Air Force Academy. He along with ALL the students were bound by an oath. He HONORED his oath and made the incredibly difficult decision to report their failure. He gave them the chance to come clean and they refused. He HONORED HIS OATH!
Wait what are you talking about??
They shouldn’t of been drinking.
Ex Air Force Academy guy here, you have to give him a pass on that. USAFA has a super serious honor code, we will not lie, cheat or steal, nor tolerate among us anyone who does. If he doesn't turn them in, he's gone just like them. That's how it works. That's the way it has ALWAYS worked. It's not uncommon for the service academies to kick out hundreds of students at a time. You know the deal from day 1.
I can't go back to my old company and get information that I had access to when I worked for them.
It is insane to let former employees continue to have access.
If this issue was put to a vote by American voters, 85% would vote to cut all security clearances, and access to former security agencies and the military.
There are boatloads of things that us citizens would change in government if we were given a vote.
@@deezynar agreed. Old farts with clearance are ripe espionage targets.
Honestly how would it make sense for anyone who leaves government to still have access to classified info? It just doesn’t make sense.
Some classified information is public knowledge. For instance, it is said that a guy did projectile data on the bow and arrow and that information was classified during WW2.
You don’t you just keep your security clearance. You require access,clearance and need to know . When you leave your position you lose access and need to know. There are forms you sign when you begin and the forms come back when you leave. Basically stating you won’t discuss the classified info with people. The problem is when higher ups disregard this to appease bosses as upholding these standards may hurt their chances of promotion when they come to visit.
You still have clearance, but yes, you would loose access to information unless you were contracted and involved in a job that requires you to know certain things. Even then, it would be limited in scope to what you need to know. Just because one has TS clearance doesn't mean I have access to all documents that are labeled TS. You can still only see things that you need to see based on your current mission or job.
@@bigtapa9227True, but what really threw my future literary plans into disarray was when I had to sign a 10 year NDA after separating from USAF in ‘92. You see, I’d planned on writing the next great American military novel but one of the stipulations of the NDA was that I had to submit to the DOD any work of fiction or nonfiction involving my former employment so it could be checked for any breaches of the NDA, believe it or not!
So they can make sure Project Mockingbird can happen. If you cant leak secrets to the corporate news industry, then you cannot create fake narratives.

So they can spy on Americans. They're not supposed to but they do. Someone should challenge it in court. Any laws passed that contradict the constitution is null and void. Our constitutional right to privacy basically doesn't even exist anymore.

Yeah nobody wants to make 160k a year. Thats nothing. 😂😂😂
Right? I guess only stupid poors make $160k
that's how corrupt that town is
That’s a great salary for most of us. I think the point he’s trying to make is, someone with that level of experience while in the government, that’s shit. You take that experience to the private sector/ as a civilian. You make double that.

This is one problem, they assume a junior sales can make 250 grand a year.....the nationwide average is 40to60 grand a year. The inflated salaries are in the upper east coast, and west coast. Alot of people i know would love to make a washington beaurocracy salary......
I am confused too. These guys must be seeing filthy amount of money in lobbying, clearances etc in his world, junior salesman makes 250k ? It tells you everything why they need to go
Calling the CIA heroes is actually insane
McCoy, "The Politics of Heroin" is a useful read.
Dr. Lonny Shavelson in his book "Heroin" said that 70% of female heroin addicts had been sexually abused in childhood. - useful knowledge
He's calling the _individual workers who get things done_ the heroes.
He's calling OUT the upper management who do noting but run their mouths.
Well, some of them are, and when they’re given a morally just mission then there’s no doubt about it.
I thought that too
Try going into a foreign country, commit serious crimes to protect your fellow citizen back home, all to get a measly government paycheck. I call that heroic for sure.
You guys kept him on his toes, he almost flinched. But kept composure

Businessmen don’t give a damn about anything but making money. Government’s job is to put systems in to serve the country. Government is about collaboration and service. I’ve worked in both sectors and most businessmen including the next POTUS have no business running government!!!
The next president needs to replace every Senior Executive Service appointment in the country across all agencies. Then also select their subordinates 2 levels deep. It'll be as much fun as removing blackberry bushes but twice as rewarding.
160 thousand is considered a small salary in US? Comes roughly to 3000 dollars a week...is this before tax?
This guy must be some trust fund elitist… 160k a year is phenomenal. It literally puts you in the top 5% of earners in the US.
That's a great salary. If you live in NYC or Hollywood, it's just ok. In normal America, it's damn good. 😃
In DC or big cities , it ok pay. The titles and the Prestige of that position in the private sector you could make double easily.
Even in NYC where certain ppl make much higher salaries and cost of living is crazy, $160k puts you in the 90th percentile of earners
It’s before taxes, and it is heavily taxed.
The problem is the more you make, the more you’re exposed to people who make more.
I grew up with a father that probably made 300-500k a year (in Georgia). We lived a very weird mix of rich and poor. Lived in a farm, all the boys had to pay for everything from the time we were 16 (started at 12, any food we ate that was at the kitchen table, clothes, anything we had to pay for), sisters were given brand new luxury cars (Lexus) for their birthdays and were given new vehicles when they totaled them or (DUI’ed). Pop was a sexist and didn’t mind telling my brothers and I this 😂!
Anyways, while the boys tended to spend most of our time with blue collar farmer types my sisters went to private schools where the average student came from a $10M home. Made for interesting groups.
What junior sales person is making 250 K a year?
He was talking about where you begin and then he mentioned that after 30 years of working in the government 160,000 so yeah he is accurate. There are plenty of people that just go into sales as a junior salesman and 30 years later will be making $250,000 a year in the right place especially if they are somehow involved directly with Wall Street. It can also be much much more.
@@kaleidoset2569 too bad most of the comment section didn't pay the same level of attention as you did.

Thanks for explaining the two tracts of government. Love getting my info from comedians and whomever they unearth. Glad they hid the bong before filming.
So 160,000 isn't enough? Maybe we need more patriots in there.
I was thinking I’ll take a job making $160k and actually do work that improves people’s lives and be a happy person every pay check. Dudes are clueless about how many people work like slaves and make less and still find themselves having a happy life.
you are talking elite govies working their entire career (20+ years) living in expensive cities (e.g. DC) making the same as commercial senior engineers into their 8-10 year career. Although govies do get a decent pension while commercial side makes 5% 401k match at best
DC is actually one of the most expensive places to live. but it's not like thats all they do for money, they're almost all millionaires for a reason
