And the CIA still looks like it's a protection racket for scumbags who hurt good people for their own private gain. So much for hoping Andrew could rekindle the terminal naivety that led to Americans accepting the establishment of the CIA in the first place.
This is by far one of his worst because of the host. Pure self indulgence on the hosts part. First Diary of a CEO is much better. No interjections and opinions, just questions and answers
This guy lets everyone know his job was to lie. He got recruited because hes great a manipulating people. And you're like, let's get him on and listen to every word he says. And believe it. Damn he is good
It's in his best interest for the sake of his buisness to tell the truth. If he got exposed by someone else from CIA people wouldn't do buisness with him. He makes his money off teaching "CIA techniques" to everyday people.
He says it himself in cia training they teach everyone is worth a cup of coffee you never know what a person might be connected to And the whole thing they say you are 7 people away from being connected to everyone on this planet of course only if it's a diverse and dynamic enough 7 If all 7 people know about each other then they are from the same group you would only need to know one person in that group to be connected to all of them not diverse
1:32:52 you only need like 15 good recruiters to create thousands of new recruits. Thats a 💎 when you apply it to building a business in a lot of sectors. I’m definitely saving this.
Yeah, but whats interesting to me is how they put the breakdown of the 50% from 8 states, but all you have to do is look closer, and you'll see its really meaningless. All of those states are in the top 9 populated states with the exception of Virginia who is 12th, and when you add their populations up, you literally get 150 or so million people, so saying 50% of the population sends 50% of recruits is nothing strange. I don't have time but I'd imagine you had familiar ethnic breakdowns in those, probably all states with a semi large black and hispanic population which makes up a fair portion of recruits too, and I cant help but think things like the fact that VA has the pentagon and so many things like that, VA Beach, Military places, that you'd have kids following in their parents foot steps, there are several bases here in my state of NC, Fort Bragg(now FT Liberty), Cherry Point, Camp Lejune, then think San Diego area, etc..., so it may be that these cities have more family legacy kids. Regardless, I don't think it's proving anything all all.
The problem, Andrew, is that the people that we are voting in to take care of the things that we can't control are no longer acting in the best interest of the people. Maybe the best thing for the country would be for people to get the truth, lose their shit, and return to what the founding fathers intended.
I see similar sentiment a lot and it seems ridiculous to me. The country was founded before the Industrial Revolution, Jefferson’s idea was that America would be almost entirely yeoman farmers. The game is being played the way it always has been. The bay of Tonkin incident that got us into Vietnam was bogus, the staged coup in Guatemala in the late 50s at the behest of United Fruit.. Saddam was a CIA asset, we overthrew the democratically elected government in Iran. Our funding and support of the civil war in El Salvador is what led to the mass migration of Salvadorans, and was the incubator for groups like MS13. I saw personally American troops guarding poppy feilds in Afghanistan at the start of the “opiate crisis”. Opium poppies are the only thing that grows in Afghanistan that has no conflicts with American Agriculture. I don’t know what or when this supposed perfect time existed in regards to American politics and geopolitics but it’s not been in my, my parents, or my grandparents lifetime which would make it turn of the last century.
@@KyleShade You're 100% right. It never existed and it couldn't have because this is planet earth and we are all human with all the human fallibility that implies. The narrative that we've been sold on some magical time and some lofty "founding fathers" is pretty much a fairy story.
@@SassyCatsywhen you come across so much information that shows the overwhelming amount of corruption and the sheer amount of blind sheep that follow suit. He did everything every sane and selfless man would do, expose the truth. Get real kiddo. Open up your eyeballs and don’t be so naive. Ignorance sure is bliss!
I don't buy into that narrative 100% anymore. He put lives in danger doing what he did and then fled to Russia which makes me question his connections and motives. I mean he pulled it off and came off looking like a hero and he had great PR. I don't trust that kind of thing really. Not saying he's 100% a villan, not saying he isn't but, I sure wouldn't trust him.
@rca6576 Snowden didn't intend to go to Russia. He was trying to get to I believe Ecuador. He got stuck in another country..I can't remember which one. He finally got to Russia. He did not want to be there but the U S was after him. Russia offered asylum.
@@jojokatz3256 Well, that's the story. One isn't just allowed to stay and live in Russia though without a process and he very well could have had previous connections there. Russia offered asylum to an American. They don't do that unless they get something out of it. I will say that they are extremely good at controlling narratives. Extremely good. So I don't think we'll know for sure but, I don't think Snowdon was as much of a hero as he is portrayed to be. He isn't 100% bad either.
@rca6576 well of course they thought they would get something out of it .... trying to make US look worse than Mother Russia. Just saying Snowden didn't intend to end up in Russia. It was as i remember the only flight he could get out of where ever he was . He was trying to evade authorities. Most likely running for his life. Actually Snowden has ( much to my surprise) been critical of Putin. I guess Putin let's him get away with it so as not to appear like US.
“We should always make a distinction that right and wrong, is a very different standard, than legal and illegal. The law is no substitute for morality.” - Edward Snowden
@user-vr8zs3ei7n Wow! Such great criticism and eloquence in your thoughts. Never knew that just saying nope would completely invalidate an idea. Youre a douche bro
@mygirldarby yep. There are career CIA employees, but in most cases, they sign a 7 to 10 year contract and if you don't renew, that is it. I bet that is what this guy did.
Interesting statement as i had my first son very young I was 17 but i made my choice and I loved and love him. I made lots of sacrifice and life wasnt easy as i eas divorced at 18. I took him to Alaska to raise a son there after being in Las Vegas. Remarried and had four more children. I was very protective of him because i didnt want him to feel as an outsider but i was also busy with baby after baby. He went into the Army. He was stuck in siria and he has a very secret life. Hes traveled other countries and his babys mom is russian. He just disapeared on us for 16 years and reached out when he was having a baby. He lives on the East Coast and I havent seen him or my 2 grandchildren now. He reminds me of you Andrew so its interesting but if my son felt he wasnt loved is so wrong. He was very loved.
Well the point is you gave him his life and I think he has had an interesting one. He does sound like Andrew. None of us can control it all but you made decent moral choices and raised a good son.
Not a good idea to tell where your son was, no matter how long ago. You could put him in danger or even get him killed. Sometimes parents are the greatest leaks and you just became one. My advice, delete this stupid comment.
The fact that he is all over social media and yet worked for the secretive agency has caused a lot of suspicion amongs viewers. Having watched a few of his shows I can tell you, he never reveals any agency secrets or compromising information, just generic stuff. I guess thats today's digital age. What we thought were creepy secretive people are just out there in many podcasts these days.
He's very charismatic. BUT. You're not going to get any real truth from this guy. He was trained to be a professional liar as a CIA case worker. Take everything he says with a huge grain of salt.

@Bootmahoy88 there is a direction he is pointing his attention and not zero information when he speaks. Also, just bc of how humans and causality work, there is likely a wealth of information to be gleaned from watching him long enough considering that he appears to have genuinely worked at the CIA and presumably interacted with quite a few people with deliberate attention paid to their thoughts and actions (those imprints don't fade away when you leave the room).
I always look at the background when I’m watching something. Those doors with 4 hinges in black are nice. Really cool to make them an architectural element
CIA is the definition for misinformation. If someone says that they worked for the CIA and they're offering you information, you might as well assume it's BS or misinformation. The fact that this man once worked for the CIA gives him absolutely zero credibility in my book. I wish him much success in his career but every time I see a video featuring him I just move on
Hi to the agent who is shadow banning my posts that have been critical of your little PR actor Andrew - thanks, you proved my statements true by doing so.
Good! Spot on. You're not going to get any real truth from this guy. He was trained to be a professional liar as a CIA case worker. Take everything he says with a huge grain of salt.
Snowden is a farce too. the NSA can find me, you and everybody else if you are on a mountaintop in the Himalayas in a blizzard and know when you have changed your underware... but they could not find Snowden... 🫣
cant believe this psyop roadshow just straight up said not in the interest of the american people, but deferred to "americas interests as defined by policymakers" Does this clown not realize "We the People" is the first line of the constitution, or that the "american policymakers" are uncloseted marxists hell bent on control?!?!? bet your he does! another psyop
Everyone has a perspective so isn’t everyone misleading us too then? Partners,friends,family and everyday ppl We interact with in one way or another do the same it’s life. Whether it’s to like them or believe their side of the story by gaining our sympathy. based on set morals, values, and principles? He doesn’t sound misleading nor is he telling you or join. he comes off more as informative with in the limits of what he’s permitted. Like it or not we benefit from all the god and bad our nation does. being an American is a luxury compared to other nationalities that only could wish to be at the top see the world you’ll start to get it.
damn right anything to do with government don't believe it. unless it' comes from high security clearance, higher than the president. we wouldn't no that anyway. but just go with your own instance, don't be sucked into the bull crappy lies, is for us and our kids ect. lies lies lies

For the first 2 hours Jordan didn't listen to anything Andrew was spelling out for him *multiple* times. Obviously, Jordan has ADHD, so it's not at all his fault. But seriously, kudos to Andrew for hanging in there so gracefully. 2:04:41, Having a Secret Life, is my *absolute* favorite part of this whole conversation. IF you are truly listening and understanding the conversation, you can see and hear JUST how graceful Andrew shuts down Jordans stereotyping and discrimination. Basically was telling Jordan he is egotistical in a polite way. My advice to you Jordan is to brush up on your listening skills. You did handle the interview better in the last 25-ish minutes.
@@jimmerrell1688 Who knows if he is? Who knows if he is still with CIA and part of his job is to excite those to apply for the job. That is a psychological strategy. Many RUclipsrs use this strategy. Fundamentally, it is our nature to want. When you tell someone not to do something, are they going to listen; or are they more motivated than ever to do it? Science would say that the latter is more likely, because people like to be in control of their own lives. The behavior is purely psychological and is known as reactance, which is a type of mechanism where our brain wants to ensure that we're free to do whatever it is that we want to do with our own lives. Also, you do know that here are MANY ex CIA persons out on RUclips similar to Andy, right? Yes, he could have gotten the majority of his techniques from movies, but where did the writers of those movies get THEIR spy tactic info to write the scripts? Wouldn't you think that CIA would immediately ban him from sharing information if they deemed Andy a threat of exploiting top secret information for personal gain? Who knows what the correct answer could be. However, what I do know is that Andy teaches and encourages *problem solving skills*, *communication techniques*, and more. Instead of having a negative "them vs us" mindset, simply be open to learning something new. When I watch an interview I would like to learn something There are multiple times in the interview that Jordan can be seen too wrapped up in his own mind to actually have an intellectual conversation without going off topic, making it about himself, being distracted with his surroundings, or placing labels on a subgroup of people without being open to understand the meaning behind their plight. That is called being prejudice. And if you personally can not see that and it makes you uncomfortable, then I would encourage you to do some deeper inner work. We are ALL human on this earth with generational trauma. Now, with that being said. I do want to give Jordan praise for hosting many interviews and being brave enough to put himself out there to the world. Andy was right, as Jordan even admitted to having anxiety, it takes guts to start multiple business and do what he does. THAT information from Jordan is something that I personally took from the interview as encouragement for myself. So in the end, like I said in my first comment regarding the last 25 minutes, was great. Although I didn't partially agree with Jordan, I was able to take something from the conversation. Compassionate curiosity is a combination of curiosity, empathy, openness, acceptance, and love that allows people to understand others' thoughts, feelings, and experiences, even when they differ from their own. It can also be used to reflect on oneself without judgment.
@@jimmerrell1688 How do you know he did not work with CIA? You do know there are MANY ex CIA that share strategies from their experiences too, right? Don't you think that if he was a fake or a threat for exploiting CIA info, that the CIA would shut him down immediately? Impersonating any public official or office is a crime. I encourage you to use compassionate curiosity to take away something useful in every conversation.
I’m not sure why people like the Andrew guy. He’s just another government storm trooper that’s follows the “letter of the law”. Most laws do not fall in line with good morals and ethics. Snowden maybe a “criminal” by law, but a hero morally.
“We should always make a distinction that right and wrong, is a very different standard, than legal and illegal. The law is no substitute for morality.” - Edward Snowden
I agree with you totally. But you're not going to get any real truth from this guy. He was trained to be a professional liar as a CIA case worker. Take everything he says with a huge grain of salt.
I’m glad I go to the comments. I don’t think I’m gonna watch it. Basically because I wouldn’t know if any of it is true or not There might be some truth in there, but it’s not worth sorting through all the lies
This totally cracked me up. I Looked at it With the sound off and thought Nope. Not again. Why does my algorithm keep forcing this dude on me? AI isn’t taking over yet like , I’ll Watch kitten videos before this dude.
I enjoy listening to Andrew. He makes a lot of sense to me. He is self aware, understands how the brain works and human behavior. If you don’t like him, don’t listen.

You wanna learn to lie better? Two things: 1) don't lie when you don't need to. Always mix your lie in with mostly true stuff. Makes it much easier to avoid getting tripped up. 2) can your emotions if you can. Emotions will give your lie away, but if you can avoid emotional reactions it will make you harder to read. If you really want to learn how to lie, take an acting class.
He wouldn’t get away with that manipulation crap on Joe Rogan or Jordan Peterson’s podcast. He manipulated several times in the interview to protect the CIA lies. He failed most of the truth tests he was given.
Our founding values are that a well informed and well educated public is in our collective best interests. Government must be required to inform the public of the facts that will allow us to elect the right leaders. Government cannot be allowed to keep us in the dark and feed us shit like mushrooms.
I'm an even weirder case when it comes to lying.. My facial expressions and even emotional responses don't always match my thought pattern and many times while completely telling the truth, people think I'm lying or being deceitful. Same thing happens vocally, were I might tell a lie and sound completely convincing, but then tell the truth and stumble my words. I think there's something backwards going on in my brain were my immediate response is to tell the truth, but then life experiences tell me that lying is sometimes better and then either way I choose everything gets jumble fucked and there's no real way you can know which it was. Perhaps if you know me long enough there's some pattern, but I don't even know what it is.
"The agency is so broken, you can't get anything done, you can't even do your own job.". After living and working for many years in both private and public sector, but mostly public (government) i am convinced that this is the result of the human condition, not any particular agency or individual. It purely must and will happen.
I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. Bustamante comes across as knowledgeable, pragmatic, and discreet. During my four years at an FFRDC supporting both the NATSEC and IC communities, I've observed similar qualities in former HUMINT professionals-traits that I hold in high regard.
Governments have long recognized the power of fear as a tool for maintaining control, and the threat of nuclear conflict is a prime example. By fueling widespread anxiety about nuclear war, they create a climate of dependence on the state for security and stability. This, in turn, enables the implementation of strict domestic policies. The manufactured fear of nuclear conflict also serves to divert public attention from pressing internal issues such as economic instability, corruption, and civil unrest. In response to these perceived threats, governments might resort to increased surveillance and censorship, effectively suppressing dissent and reinforcing their political grip. On the global stage, the strategic use of nuclear rhetoric allows states to manipulate alliances and trade agreements, positioning themselves as pivotal players in international affairs. Historically, the nation with a substantial nuclear arsenal has played a significant role in nuclear diplomacy and is backed by a network of extensive alliances. It’s entirely plausible that this nation and its allies could leverage rhetoric to bolster political control, this could involve exaggerating threats to justify increased military spending and tightening domestic security measures amid treasury concerns. In both Europe and Asia, governments have utilized military threats for political gain. By intensifying nuclear rhetoric, they can strengthen domestic support and distract from internal challenges. In various parts of Asia, this strategy helps maintain internal control and project influence on the global stage, consolidating power through a resolute stance on nuclear issues. But, they'll work it out amongst themselves, right.
After being around my mother in law for a period of time, and her narcissistic tendencies have become clear. I have started questioning the idea of free will. When someone does and acts just as described in a text book. How could you possibly have free will?
On the trusting your parents and not knowing you had an unusual childhood is SO relatable. I mostly trusted my mom, but I didn’t know that it wasn’t “normal” to be terrified of your dad. I casually mentioned getting “slapped upside the head” to a friend and she looked at me like I had 4 heads. Everyone then stopped and stared jaw open when I laughed and said “well I mean it’s not like I could duck, if I tried to duck his smack to my head as I walked by, he would kick me .” 🤷🏻♀️ Apparently all of those sayings like “kick your butt”, “slap you upside the head”, etc were just empty threats in other people’s homes…..?
When I was around five years old, when my dad was getting ready to give me a spanking, I asked him if he loved me. He said yes. I then asked him if he loved my mom. He said yes. Then I said, you never hit mommy. Spankings ended that day.
I’ve always had a thing for reading people with little time knowing them. It’s weird but it’s something about the way they talk and the expressions they make. I can’t even put my finger on it but above 90% of the time it’s spot on. I don’t even question it anymore and I just process it and avoid or proceed accordingly.
@@cynthialodermeier5291 honestly I think it’s some sort of sy op. He’s way too young to start spilling the beans. 95% of the people who talk do it damn near their death beds so I believe everything he says is what they want us to know. Bout all I got. Most of what I was talking about was my personal interaction with people so a few videos of a guy is a little different. Not sure what I did here is the same or just a educated guess
@@kevingomes5750Andy didn't "spill any beans." He gave no state secrets. He's about 44 years old (I believe his wife is a couple years older), and realized he was missing his children's best years (they're 11 & 6). So, they retired as active intelligence officers to focus on their children. His total government service likely allows him to draw a pension of some sort, but I recall him saying his CIA records are in a different name than the one he has now, so... just how that all works out, well, you got me. I think he's had a pretty amazing life, except for the years in the silos. I've watched several of his interviews and his story hasn't wavered so I think he's legit.
This is the first time i am listening to you. And hearing you say "Your arguing with a doctor", chastizing someone who refused to go along with the same industry that unpersoned over 12 million people with forced gene therapies tells me everything i need to know about what you and bustamante believe.
I trusted my parents even though every day there was a fight in the household. I truly believe I could have murderer somebody and my parents would have hide the body. But it affected me in a different way. I learned how to turn off emotions. There could be an all out argument but I can forget about it within a minute. Like it never even happened. People could say the worst things to me and it just never bothered me. I think that's why I don't understand when people get offended. Because I don't know how it's possible to get offended.
1:34:26 I think this is a deep misunderstanding on what motivates a person to fight, and I think most soldiers that see their brothers die in combat would agree with me. Surely living your life to its utmost potential is the best way a human can live their life, though common-cause patriotism is not the motivation that keeps someone on the front lines. It’s their relationships and the bonds forged in the shit. I would guess that 99% of the time, a person that’s been indoctrinated into war that’s seen their brothers die.. they’re not suddenly seeing the light and having a moral awakening and seeing the senseless cost of life. They’re trying to get back into the fight as soon as possible to make that tragic moment right.
That's Trauma Bonding. It's not always a bad thing, sometimes there can be a beauty to it...but it can be very, very bad in abusive situations. Narcissists use it to keep their targets within reach.
I'm so tired of this guy. There is no such thing as retired CIA, he's still an operative and he's only saying things that they are telling him to say. Makes me question the motives of this channel and whether or not independent media is really independent...
***Newsflash**** Independent media is absolutely NOT independent. All media is following an objective - typically, that of their owners. Like Fox & Murdoch (right wing).
In the reading body language section, it kinda all goes to crap if the person you are talking to is on the spectrum. I have awkward body position and spacing. I am sort of terrified of being accused of a crime because people would look at me and think, 'she must be guilty as hell.' I am constantly hesitating when people ask me a question, even if I am telling the truth, because my brain is trying to assess 'what is the socially appropriate response?' or 'are they asking me because they actually want to know or is this a "how are you" type question?' I have trained myself to say "I'm fine how are you?" instead of responding truthfully. I suppose it is moot anyway, as most autistic people do not or cannot lie.
Im not sure how good CIA and other place training are, but certainly police training goes with averages assuming certain strict behaviour out of everyone and then it comes down to each police officer "using their brain" in real life to judge that.... although pushing overtime and pressures from management seem to override "using brain" in majority of cases. Maybe others sustain sleep deprivation better but I doubt anyone is at best after that 72hour project he described they train with. Big cities are horrible no matter if you are on spectrum or what, people are very superficial. small towns are slightly better assuming people there want to know you... many dont really, their life is cozy as it is... but they cant use busyness there as excuse. I can make another kind of analog: spy networks get caught over some time... they got lazy and didnt update their procedure (kinda camouflage in military battlefield) thus over many years other agencies caught... multiple cases. So it tells something 60+ years stuff is still so bad, they havent changed playbook at all. Also, I can look surgery video material and stomach churns, but that doesnt mean I shouldnt have access to it if it was my surgery and they gotta learn somehow, someone has to do that job and doesnt have this problem(same is in all professions, some aspects, dirty details is guaranteed to make someone churn, but doesnt make job bad simply by that fact).
I spent 27 years in the Airforce and my first 10 years I was in SAC Strategic Air Command and I sat Alert with inflight Refueling Tankers and Bombers. Full time hard Alert was stopped in the early 90s. But they can stand up our Bombers and tankers quickly. Bombers targets where never the same targets as the ICBM both land and Navy. But understand if it ever happens the world is dead no one would survive.
It's no different here in America go to any sheriffs department around here, brothers mothers cousins some are not mentally capable of dealing with the public on a day to day situation.

So, we're positioned for complete nuclear destruction, huh? . . . . The human nature part of me is like, "This is terrifying. I WANNA LIVE!" Then another part of me is like "Good, this world needs a face lift," with all the pain, suffering, racism, classism & just ugliness around the globe. Perhaps a few kilotons of mass destruction is just what the doctor ordered.
thats the purpose of this psyop! He got you to question your own personal truths and beliefs, to the point you actually lost self principle(and agreed to world destruction) in a youtube comment. KNOW your manipulator, thats what bustamonte used to preach...but after hearing him rag on Snowden, I think he too, might have drank the koolaid!
It is the very symbol of Atom's glory! The bomb is us. The bomb is Atom. And thus, we are Atom -- awaiting the day in which each of us gives birth to a trillion new lives.
Damn sounds like you need Jesus my guy! If you're American, you must work for the government or live in some shithole city to see all that BS. The reason people think all that shit is because they're told things are that way. If we turned off the news and put down these phones more often, things would drastically improve. Meet your neighbors, help your community and ask for help if you need it. Somehow the worst of us have become those actually leading and influencing
Damn my comment saying that the american ppl are not as racist and "ugly" as the US govt would have you believe got deleted but this guys doom n gloom depressed CNN brain comment is fine. Lol F U Tube?
Don't forget cia this guy is, he's been caught several times lieing or misguiding, the only real question is why? I personally don't have time or the energy for why... it's at a point if it's done one is a mistake, more than that and it's deliberate and I don't listen
He definitely has a personality disorder, although I do not know which. I feel sorry for his wife and family if he really has one. It is sort of mind boggling as to why he still gets interviews with what seems every popular RUclipsr / Podcaster.
@@leacipurrI also got that feeling that there's something off with him. He is a good talker and his subject matter is interesting (true or not) so that's probably a good explanation of how he keeps getting interviews.
@@jonclemens9324 I think the intense training they go through causes prefrontal cortex damage and identity disorders, similar to method actors. Plus, their training includes torture and hostile interrogation simulations and are often experimented on without their knowing.
I have listened to this dude for long time, trying to figure out if he really worked as a CIA agent or just a low-level coffee boy/lawn boy. I know one thing, his predictions about the russia-Ukraine war have been wrong. The way he explained how powerful and efficient the russian army is "I would agree they are very near-parity with the U.S. and have been for a long time." Yet, we are in year 3 of the war; 600,000+ KIA/Injured on the russian side, and they can't take Ukraine. He made it sound like russia would "steamroll" Ukraine in "5 days times; tops." "The amount of force and efficiency will shock the world." When he was confronted on his early predictions and how they were far from the actual truth, he said, "Well, not exactly. You have to look at the situation this way. Well, let's talk about manipulation of the media....." LOL -- this dude was nothing but a low-level coffee boy.
That's right and is why Snowden is living in Russia right now buddies with America's greatest enemy of the American people " Putin". You MAGA(t)s make me sick. Not only will your families pay for your ignorance but so will the rest of ours.
Dude with the curly hair is a good liar himself. But not that good, clocked him the first interview I saw him in. It’s hard not to roll your eyes and laugh when he speaks.
One very important thing when you ask your solo mother if she turns back in time she would have you anyway. And I can tell it for a fact, because I was left alone pregnant at 18, and at 19 I was a solo mother. If I had to come back in time, I would have my son the same 1000 percent! Taking care of him made me responsible and successful person, the second or third day with him I’ve notice that if now I cross the way, I will care to survive, because if I die in an accident, something in this world will change if I disappear. I understood why I live and what do I live for. I became more ambitious, responsible, proactive……. and a book here. Being a solo mother at 19 was the best thing ever happened to me!!! Having him in hard conditions I became successful because of him. I chose a great man in my life later, because my son will have him as an example. A man cannot understand a mother. We have all the changes in the body etc., but you have no idea how more happier and luckier are we being able to have children.

To become a good liar, one must pre-plan and rehearse their lies. Spontaneous lies are easily detected because they lack consistency and are difficult to remember. Practicing the lie creates muscle memory, making it easier to deliver convincingly. Motivation and manipulation are two sides of the same coin. Both involve directing human behavior, but motivation has a positive connotation while manipulation is seen as negative. The key difference lies in whether the action benefits the target or the manipulator. Elicitation is a skill used to assess a person's motivations. It involves observing the environment, asking questions that evoke emotional responses, and paying attention to the target's reactions. By understanding a person's motivations, one can better manipulate or motivate them. The label on the jar is not always accurate. People's motivations are often more complex than they appear. While someone might seem to be driven by ideology, their true motivation could be a desire for power, revenge, or a sense of belonging. Elicitation is a crucial skill for understanding people. It allows one to see beyond the surface and uncover the underlying motivations that drive their actions. This understanding is essential for effective communication, persuasion, and even counterintelligence.
I find it physically emotionally and mentally and morally impossible to lie. I’m probably the only person on earth. I know that I really do tell the truth. I cannot stand lies of any kind. That’s why we’re in the fucking mess we’re in.
Andrew is an awesome dude. Thanks for your service. 14:00ish makes sense why Ch is buying land near military bases; it's much easier to monitor activity domestically than foreign.
But fate decreed that the cloak should become an iron cage. The “last ton of fossilized coal” is not yet burnt, the last barrel of oil is not yet extracted, so much damage remains to be done.
Had to take polygraph to work in LE and he's so right. You leave the background check and polygraph feeling like the worst person in the world when you are fully honest and you are considered a great candidate... you still feel awful admitting everything you've ever done wrong
His comments are interesting but his ethics are not the greatest. I have very high appreciation for Snowden. We need whistleblowers even as the wrong doers don't like it. Tells everything about them.
I’m aviation smart and mil engaged. He totally washed out at some point of pilot training and somehow ended up with one of the worst officer positions out there.
I agree with Andy’s assessment of military recruitment however, I believe a much larger cause of recruitment being down is due to vaccine mandate and the woke policies of the top brass like Milley
The CIA is sending this guy to every podcast known to man.
And the CIA still looks like it's a protection racket for scumbags who hurt good people for their own private gain. So much for hoping Andrew could rekindle the terminal naivety that led to Americans accepting the establishment of the CIA in the first place.
trust us bro
Media offensive. Their "charm" is absolutely blown
He is a klergi kid...mystery meat
That’s what I been thinking 7 years he’s a rookie lmao
Best interview i have seen with Andrew until now.
Finally someone who can take him head on and doesnt just let him play his confidence games
It was the most boring one Ive seen and not because of the CIA but the host is so square
@@II-eb6mw The host was brilliant and let this so called keys to the kingdom dude show his true colorsv
This is by far one of his worst because of the host. Pure self indulgence on the hosts part. First Diary of a CEO is much better. No interjections and opinions, just questions and answers
@@comgetit1that is a very good interview. Also recc DOAC w Trevor Noah - grt interview
This guy lets everyone know his job was to lie. He got recruited because hes great a manipulating people. And you're like, let's get him on and listen to every word he says. And believe it. Damn he is good
Learn from him then
No he's not just don't be gullible !!!
Right!
Hard TDS. The real CIA line
I also don’t believe he was taught to fly and “fell out of love with flying.” Never heard that before
Why would i believe a self proclaimed 'professional liar' ?
He swears he's telling the truth this time 😂
Because…he is on our team
It's in his best interest for the sake of his buisness to tell the truth. If he got exposed by someone else from CIA people wouldn't do buisness with him. He makes his money off teaching "CIA techniques" to everyday people.
You watch movies, you already do 😅😂
Your logic is undeniable.
I greeted this guy at a gate in Egypt, in Arabic, he replied im American dude!
How is this dude EVERYWHERE?
He's full of crap. He's out promoting himself and books. He's the CIA version of stolen valor.
He's everywhere because he is a plant
He says it himself in cia training they teach everyone is worth a cup of coffee you never know what a person might be connected to
And the whole thing they say you are 7 people away from being connected to everyone on this planet of course only if it's a diverse and dynamic enough 7
If all 7 people know about each other then they are from the same group you would only need to know one person in that group to be connected to all of them not diverse
what do you mean?
@@jeffb321 nah, a plant would be someone you'd have no idea about.
1:32:52 you only need like 15 good recruiters to create thousands of new recruits. Thats a 💎 when you apply it to building a business in a lot of sectors. I’m definitely saving this.
Yeah, but whats interesting to me is how they put the breakdown of the 50% from 8 states, but all you have to do is look closer, and you'll see its really meaningless. All of those states are in the top 9 populated states with the exception of Virginia who is 12th, and when you add their populations up, you literally get 150 or so million people, so saying 50% of the population sends 50% of recruits is nothing strange. I don't have time but I'd imagine you had familiar ethnic breakdowns in those, probably all states with a semi large black and hispanic population which makes up a fair portion of recruits too, and I cant help but think things like the fact that VA has the pentagon and so many things like that, VA Beach, Military places, that you'd have kids following in their parents foot steps, there are several bases here in my state of NC, Fort Bragg(now FT Liberty), Cherry Point, Camp Lejune, then think San Diego area, etc..., so it may be that these cities have more family legacy kids. Regardless, I don't think it's proving anything all all.
The problem, Andrew, is that the people that we are voting in to take care of the things that we can't control are no longer acting in the best interest of the people. Maybe the best thing for the country would be for people to get the truth, lose their shit, and return to what the founding fathers intended.
Hallelujah!
I see similar sentiment a lot and it seems ridiculous to me. The country was founded before the Industrial Revolution, Jefferson’s idea was that America would be almost entirely yeoman farmers. The game is being played the way it always has been. The bay of Tonkin incident that got us into Vietnam was bogus, the staged coup in Guatemala in the late 50s at the behest of United Fruit.. Saddam was a CIA asset, we overthrew the democratically elected government in Iran. Our funding and support of the civil war in El Salvador is what led to the mass migration of Salvadorans, and was the incubator for groups like MS13. I saw personally American troops guarding poppy feilds in Afghanistan at the start of the “opiate crisis”. Opium poppies are the only thing that grows in Afghanistan that has no conflicts with American Agriculture. I don’t know what or when this supposed perfect time existed in regards to American politics and geopolitics but it’s not been in my, my parents, or my grandparents lifetime which would make it turn of the last century.
@@KyleShade Yes. Before the Federal Reserve and income tax.
Key word here being "intended".
He means the idea the founding principles. To stay away from the global stage.
@@KyleShade You're 100% right. It never existed and it couldn't have because this is planet earth and we are all human with all the human fallibility that implies. The narrative that we've been sold on some magical time and some lofty "founding fathers" is pretty much a fairy story.
I’m finding this guy less believable all the time. Snowden revealed what we thought we knew but now we do.
@@atmos4197 Snowden lost all his power as soon as he opened his mouth. Should have used it for better purposes on the DL if he was truly concerned.
@@SassyCatsywhen you come across so much information that shows the overwhelming amount of corruption and the sheer amount of blind sheep that follow suit. He did everything every sane and selfless man would do, expose the truth. Get real kiddo. Open up your eyeballs and don’t be so naive. Ignorance sure is bliss!
@maxboya Corruption is obvious. No head in the sand here.
I've seen many interviews with Andrew. This is by far the most interesting and engaging one!
And now I'm subbed for life.
Great job!
Snowden is a hero. Seriously. Someone has to protect us from the CIA and NSA.
I don't buy into that narrative 100% anymore. He put lives in danger doing what he did and then fled to Russia which makes me question his connections and motives. I mean he pulled it off and came off looking like a hero and he had great PR. I don't trust that kind of thing really. Not saying he's 100% a villan, not saying he isn't but, I sure wouldn't trust him.
@rca6576 Snowden didn't intend to go to Russia. He was trying to get to I believe Ecuador. He got stuck in another country..I can't remember which one. He finally got to Russia. He did not want to be there but the U S was after him. Russia offered asylum.
@@jojokatz3256 Well, that's the story. One isn't just allowed to stay and live in Russia though without a process and he very well could have had previous connections there. Russia offered asylum to an American. They don't do that unless they get something out of it. I will say that they are extremely good at controlling narratives. Extremely good. So I don't think we'll know for sure but, I don't think Snowdon was as much of a hero as he is portrayed to be. He isn't 100% bad either.
@rca6576 well of course they thought they would get something out of it .... trying to make US look worse than Mother Russia. Just saying Snowden didn't intend to end up in Russia. It was as i remember the only flight he could get out of where ever he was . He was trying to evade authorities. Most likely running for his life. Actually Snowden has ( much to my surprise) been critical of Putin. I guess Putin let's him get away with it so as not to appear like US.
“We should always make a distinction that right and wrong, is a very different standard, than legal and illegal. The law is no substitute for morality.” - Edward Snowden
Once CIA always a CIA.
Nope
Just like mafia
@user-vr8zs3ei7n Wow! Such great criticism and eloquence in your thoughts.
Never knew that just saying nope would completely invalidate an idea.
Youre a douche bro
@@user-vr8zs3ei7n these people are confusing the CIA with the KGB, lol.
@mygirldarby yep. There are career CIA employees, but in most cases, they sign a 7 to 10 year contract and if you don't renew, that is it. I bet that is what this guy did.
Interesting statement as i had my first son very young I was 17 but i made my choice and I loved and love him. I made lots of sacrifice and life wasnt easy as i eas divorced at 18. I took him to Alaska to raise a son there after being in Las Vegas. Remarried and had four more children. I was very protective of him because i didnt want him to feel as an outsider but i was also busy with baby after baby. He went into the Army. He was stuck in siria and he has a very secret life. Hes traveled other countries and his babys mom is russian. He just disapeared on us for 16 years and reached out when he was having a baby. He lives on the East Coast and I havent seen him or my 2 grandchildren now. He reminds me of you Andrew so its interesting but if my son felt he wasnt loved is so wrong. He was very loved.
Well the point is you gave him his life and I think he has had an interesting one. He does sound like Andrew. None of us can control it all but you made decent moral choices and raised a good son.
Not a good idea to tell where your son was, no matter how long ago. You could put him in danger or even get him killed. Sometimes parents are the greatest leaks and you just became one. My advice, delete this stupid comment.
The fact that he is all over social media and yet worked for the secretive agency has caused a lot of suspicion amongs viewers. Having watched a few of his shows I can tell you, he never reveals any agency secrets or compromising information, just generic stuff. I guess thats today's digital age. What we thought were creepy secretive people are just out there in many podcasts these days.
He's very charismatic. BUT. You're not going to get any real truth from this guy. He was trained to be a professional liar as a CIA case worker. Take everything he says with a huge grain of salt.
This was such an interesting conversation. Thanks to you both.
Easily the best interaction I've seen with Andrew.
You're not going to get any real truth from this guy. He was trained to be a professional liar as a CIA case worker. Take everything he says with a huge grain of salt.
@Bootmahoy88 there is a direction he is pointing his attention and not zero information when he speaks. Also, just bc of how humans and causality work, there is likely a wealth of information to be gleaned from watching him long enough considering that he appears to have genuinely worked at the CIA and presumably interacted with quite a few people with deliberate attention paid to their thoughts and actions (those imprints don't fade away when you leave the room).
I always look at the background when I’m watching something. Those doors with 4 hinges in black are nice. Really cool to make them an architectural element
CIA is the definition for misinformation. If someone says that they worked for the CIA and they're offering you information, you might as well assume it's BS or misinformation. The fact that this man once worked for the CIA gives him absolutely zero credibility in my book. I wish him much success in his career but every time I see a video featuring him I just move on
Nice, you finally got him on. About time 😉
Hi to the agent who is shadow banning my posts that have been critical of your little PR actor Andrew - thanks, you proved my statements true by doing so.
Id trust Snowden over this clown anyday.
Good! Spot on. You're not going to get any real truth from this guy. He was trained to be a professional liar as a CIA case worker. Take everything he says with a huge grain of salt.
Why listen to a guy who is so naive he actually thought being a CIA officer has helped Americans - LMFAO!
Snowden is a farce too. the NSA can find me, you and everybody else if you are on a mountaintop in the Himalayas in a blizzard and know when you have changed your underware... but they could not find Snowden... 🫣
ohhhhhhh. everyone listen to 'ex'-CIA guy!! He must be honest and wouldn't mislead us...🙄
cant believe this psyop roadshow just straight up said not in the interest of the american people, but deferred to "americas interests as defined by policymakers"
Does this clown not realize "We the People" is the first line of the constitution, or that the "american policymakers" are uncloseted marxists hell bent on control?!?!? bet your he does! another psyop
Everyone has a perspective so isn’t everyone misleading us too then? Partners,friends,family and everyday ppl
We interact with in one way or another do the same it’s life. Whether it’s to like them or believe their side of the story by gaining our sympathy. based on set morals, values, and principles? He doesn’t sound misleading nor is he telling you or join. he comes off more as informative with in the limits of what he’s permitted. Like it or not we benefit from all the god and bad our nation does. being an American is a luxury compared to other nationalities that only could wish to be at the top see the world you’ll start to get it.
He's probably just trying to recruit
@teslainthehood2521 the dude is a plant 100%. Wake up man!!!!!
damn right anything to do with government don't believe it. unless it' comes from high security clearance, higher than the president.
we wouldn't no that anyway. but just go with your own instance, don't be sucked into the bull crappy lies, is for us and our kids ect. lies lies lies
Fantastic interview, amazing information
You're not going to get any real truth from this guy. He was trained to be a professional liar as a CIA case worker. Take everything he says with a huge grain of salt.
your close to being deceptive with your title, but I do enjoy listening to this young man!
For the first 2 hours Jordan didn't listen to anything Andrew was spelling out for him *multiple* times. Obviously, Jordan has ADHD, so it's not at all his fault. But seriously, kudos to Andrew for hanging in there so gracefully. 2:04:41, Having a Secret Life, is my *absolute* favorite part of this whole conversation. IF you are truly listening and understanding the conversation, you can see and hear JUST how graceful Andrew shuts down Jordans stereotyping and discrimination. Basically was telling Jordan he is egotistical in a polite way. My advice to you Jordan is to brush up on your listening skills. You did handle the interview better in the last 25-ish minutes.
andy is the egotistical one
How so?
You should quit being taken in by guys like this guy. He's no spy.
@@jimmerrell1688 Who knows if he is? Who knows if he is still with CIA and part of his job is to excite those to apply for the job. That is a psychological strategy. Many RUclipsrs use this strategy. Fundamentally, it is our nature to want. When you tell someone not to do something, are they going to listen; or are they more motivated than ever to do it? Science would say that the latter is more likely, because people like to be in control of their own lives.
The behavior is purely psychological and is known as reactance, which is a type of mechanism where our brain wants to ensure that we're free to do whatever it is that we want to do with our own lives.
Also, you do know that here are MANY ex CIA persons out on RUclips similar to Andy, right? Yes, he could have gotten the majority of his techniques from movies, but where did the writers of those movies get THEIR spy tactic info to write the scripts? Wouldn't you think that CIA would immediately ban him from sharing information if they deemed Andy a threat of exploiting top secret information for personal gain?
Who knows what the correct answer could be. However, what I do know is that Andy teaches and encourages *problem solving skills*, *communication techniques*, and more. Instead of having a negative "them vs us" mindset, simply be open to learning something new. When I watch an interview I would like to learn something There are multiple times in the interview that Jordan can be seen too wrapped up in his own mind to actually have an intellectual conversation without going off topic, making it about himself, being distracted with his surroundings, or placing labels on a subgroup of people without being open to understand the meaning behind their plight. That is called being prejudice. And if you personally can not see that and it makes you uncomfortable, then I would encourage you to do some deeper inner work. We are ALL human on this earth with generational trauma.
Now, with that being said. I do want to give Jordan praise for hosting many interviews and being brave enough to put himself out there to the world. Andy was right, as Jordan even admitted to having anxiety, it takes guts to start multiple business and do what he does. THAT information from Jordan is something that I personally took from the interview as encouragement for myself. So in the end, like I said in my first comment regarding the last 25 minutes, was great. Although I didn't partially agree with Jordan, I was able to take something from the conversation. Compassionate curiosity is a combination of curiosity, empathy, openness, acceptance, and love that allows people to understand others' thoughts, feelings, and experiences, even when they differ from their own. It can also be used to reflect on oneself without judgment.
@@jimmerrell1688 How do you know he did not work with CIA? You do know there are MANY ex CIA that share strategies from their experiences too, right? Don't you think that if he was a fake or a threat for exploiting CIA info, that the CIA would shut him down immediately? Impersonating any public official or office is a crime. I encourage you to use compassionate curiosity to take away something useful in every conversation.
I’m not sure why people like the Andrew guy. He’s just another government storm trooper that’s follows the “letter of the law”. Most laws do not fall in line with good morals and ethics. Snowden maybe a “criminal” by law, but a hero morally.
“We should always make a distinction that right and wrong, is a very different standard, than legal and illegal. The law is no substitute for morality.” - Edward Snowden
THANK YOU BOTH.
Snowden is a "Hero" not a "traitor"
I agree with you totally. But you're not going to get any real truth from this guy. He was trained to be a professional liar as a CIA case worker. Take everything he says with a huge grain of salt.
If you want to watch one guy lie to another for over two hours while the other guy knows it feels free to watch this episode
Wish I had read thistwo hours ago 😖
I’m glad I go to the comments. I don’t think I’m gonna watch it.
Basically because I wouldn’t know if any of it is true or not
There might be some truth in there, but it’s not worth sorting through all the lies
@@catherinedonnelly1025 they don't even talk about nuclear conflict

This totally cracked me up. I
Looked at it
With the sound off and thought
Nope. Not again.
Why does my algorithm keep forcing this dude on me? AI isn’t taking over yet like , I’ll
Watch kitten videos before this dude.
I enjoy listening to Andrew. He makes a lot of sense to me. He is self aware, understands how the brain works and human behavior. If you don’t like him, don’t listen.

I swear these long podcasts work better than therapy
Please don't replace therapy with podcasts from liars
@PrettyBlueSkyeEyes 😂 not a replacement. Just a reminder to, "Look out for what happens all around you"
You wanna learn to lie better? Two things: 1) don't lie when you don't need to. Always mix your lie in with mostly true stuff. Makes it much easier to avoid getting tripped up. 2) can your emotions if you can. Emotions will give your lie away, but if you can avoid emotional reactions it will make you harder to read. If you really want to learn how to lie, take an acting class.
Or be an intj robot. Feelings? What the hell are those?
227:00 he is using flattery. Not that his tactics are bad, but if someone started speaking to me that way, alarm bells would be going off.
He wouldn’t get away with that manipulation crap on Joe Rogan or Jordan Peterson’s podcast. He manipulated several times in the interview to protect the CIA lies. He failed most of the truth tests he was given.
We have been so positioned for 70 years. Still here.
Our founding values are that a well informed and well educated public is in our collective best interests. Government must be required to inform the public of the facts that will allow us to elect the right leaders. Government cannot be allowed to keep us in the dark and feed us shit like mushrooms.
great interview with many gems! even near the end about sales and relationships, thank you!
I’m so tired of this guys creepy view on the world. The more he talks the more I am 100% sure we need to get rid of this agency.
The agency keeps us safe
He’s a propagandist. Still on the payroll.
I'm an even weirder case when it comes to lying.. My facial expressions and even emotional responses don't always match my thought pattern and many times while completely telling the truth, people think I'm lying or being deceitful. Same thing happens vocally, were I might tell a lie and sound completely convincing, but then tell the truth and stumble my words. I think there's something backwards going on in my brain were my immediate response is to tell the truth, but then life experiences tell me that lying is sometimes better and then either way I choose everything gets jumble fucked and there's no real way you can know which it was. Perhaps if you know me long enough there's some pattern, but I don't even know what it is.
"Jumble Fucked" ❤
Try lying all the time but in a half truth
Why did you platform this guy. He’s narrating his own novel half the time
Plus he was never a spy
"The agency is so broken, you can't get anything done, you can't even do your own job.". After living and working for many years in both private and public sector, but mostly public (government) i am convinced that this is the result of the human condition, not any particular agency or individual. It purely must and will happen.
The human condition? I think there are and were probably policies in effect that create conditions that are inefficient
This is the condition of most government agencies.
This is how hospitals are. Nurses have all kinds of ideas to make patient care better but administration only cares about profits.
You can only hear somebody story 2 or 3 times before you're just like okay let's move on.
That's not his fault that's the interviewer's fault for asking the same questions that warrant the same answers like every other interviewer.
I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. Bustamante comes across as knowledgeable, pragmatic, and discreet.
During my four years at an FFRDC supporting both the NATSEC and IC communities, I've observed similar qualities in former HUMINT professionals-traits that I hold in high regard.
I love Andre bustamante interviews. The man is so clued up and interesting. Thanks
The dude is a government plant. You cornpops keep eating the popcorn.
Really good interview man. Good questions and great conversation. Subscribed.
Governments have long recognized the power of fear as a tool for maintaining control, and the threat of nuclear conflict is a prime example. By fueling widespread anxiety about nuclear war, they create a climate of dependence on the state for security and stability. This, in turn, enables the implementation of strict domestic policies. The manufactured fear of nuclear conflict also serves to divert public attention from pressing internal issues such as economic instability, corruption, and civil unrest.
In response to these perceived threats, governments might resort to increased surveillance and censorship, effectively suppressing dissent and reinforcing their political grip. On the global stage, the strategic use of nuclear rhetoric allows states to manipulate alliances and trade agreements, positioning themselves as pivotal players in international affairs.
Historically, the nation with a substantial nuclear arsenal has played a significant role in nuclear diplomacy and is backed by a network of extensive alliances. It’s entirely plausible that this nation and its allies could leverage rhetoric to bolster political control, this could involve exaggerating threats to justify increased military spending and tightening domestic security measures amid treasury concerns.
In both Europe and Asia, governments have utilized military threats for political gain. By intensifying nuclear rhetoric, they can strengthen domestic support and distract from internal challenges. In various parts of Asia, this strategy helps maintain internal control and project influence on the global stage, consolidating power through a resolute stance on nuclear issues.
But, they'll work it out amongst themselves, right.
👍 What he said.
After being around my mother in law for a period of time, and her narcissistic tendencies have become clear. I have started questioning the idea of free will. When someone does and acts just as described in a text book. How could you possibly have free will?
On the trusting your parents and not knowing you had an unusual childhood is SO relatable. I mostly trusted my mom, but I didn’t know that it wasn’t “normal” to be terrified of your dad. I casually mentioned getting “slapped upside the head” to a friend and she looked at me like I had 4 heads. Everyone then stopped and stared jaw open when I laughed and said “well I mean it’s not like I could duck, if I tried to duck his smack to my head as I walked by, he would kick me .” 🤷🏻♀️ Apparently all of those sayings like “kick your butt”, “slap you upside the head”, etc were just empty threats in other people’s homes…..?
When I was around five years old, when my dad was getting ready to give me a spanking, I asked him if he loved me. He said yes. I then asked him if he loved my mom. He said yes. Then I said, you never hit mommy. Spankings ended that day.
I’ve always had a thing for reading people with little time knowing them. It’s weird but it’s something about the way they talk and the expressions they make. I can’t even put my finger on it but above 90% of the time it’s spot on. I don’t even question it anymore and I just process it and avoid or proceed accordingly.
What’s your take on this guy?
@@cynthialodermeier5291 honestly I think it’s some sort of sy op. He’s way too young to start spilling the beans. 95% of the people who talk do it damn near their death beds so I believe everything he says is what they want us to know. Bout all I got. Most of what I was talking about was my personal interaction with people so a few videos of a guy is a little different. Not sure what I did here is the same or just a educated guess
@@kevingomes5750Andy didn't "spill any beans." He gave no state secrets. He's about 44 years old (I believe his wife is a couple years older), and realized he was missing his children's best years (they're 11 & 6). So, they retired as active intelligence officers to focus on their children. His total government service likely allows him to draw a pension of some sort, but I recall him saying his CIA records are in a different name than the one he has now, so... just how that all works out, well, you got me.
I think he's had a pretty amazing life, except for the years in the silos. I've watched several of his interviews and his story hasn't wavered so I think he's legit.
This is the first time i am listening to you. And hearing you say "Your arguing with a doctor", chastizing someone who refused to go along with the same industry that unpersoned over 12 million people with forced gene therapies tells me everything i need to know about what you and bustamante believe.
I trusted my parents even though every day there was a fight in the household. I truly believe I could have murderer somebody and my parents would have hide the body. But it affected me in a different way. I learned how to turn off emotions. There could be an all out argument but I can forget about it within a minute. Like it never even happened. People could say the worst things to me and it just never bothered me. I think that's why I don't understand when people get offended. Because I don't know how it's possible to get offended.
Living underground and being awakened every hour or so is waaay better than death by any means.
Well one thing for sure , this guy is on RUclips , so that in its self tells me everything i need to know from this guy😂
1:59:24 The term you're looking for is vassal state.
Wow! Best thing I have stumbled upon in 2y on YT.
1:34:26 I think this is a deep misunderstanding on what motivates a person to fight, and I think most soldiers that see their brothers die in combat would agree with me. Surely living your life to its utmost potential is the best way a human can live their life, though common-cause patriotism is not the motivation that keeps someone on the front lines. It’s their relationships and the bonds forged in the shit. I would guess that 99% of the time, a person that’s been indoctrinated into war that’s seen their brothers die.. they’re not suddenly seeing the light and having a moral awakening and seeing the senseless cost of life. They’re trying to get back into the fight as soon as possible to make that tragic moment right.
That's Trauma Bonding. It's not always a bad thing, sometimes there can be a beauty to it...but it can be very, very bad in abusive situations. Narcissists use it to keep their targets within reach.
Great episode man 10/10
I'm so tired of this guy. There is no such thing as retired CIA, he's still an operative and he's only saying things that they are telling him to say. Makes me question the motives of this channel and whether or not independent media is really independent...
***Newsflash****
Independent media is absolutely NOT independent. All media is following an objective - typically, that of their owners. Like Fox & Murdoch (right wing).
It's not just this channel. This fool is everywhere on yt.
@@NothingtoseehereYepnah seriously dude.
How does anyone thi k this dude is entertaining
In the reading body language section, it kinda all goes to crap if the person you are talking to is on the spectrum. I have awkward body position and spacing. I am sort of terrified of being accused of a crime because people would look at me and think, 'she must be guilty as hell.' I am constantly hesitating when people ask me a question, even if I am telling the truth, because my brain is trying to assess 'what is the socially appropriate response?' or 'are they asking me because they actually want to know or is this a "how are you" type question?' I have trained myself to say "I'm fine how are you?" instead of responding truthfully. I suppose it is moot anyway, as most autistic people do not or cannot lie.
Im not sure how good CIA and other place training are, but certainly police training goes with averages assuming certain strict behaviour out of everyone and then it comes down to each police officer "using their brain" in real life to judge that.... although pushing overtime and pressures from management seem to override "using brain" in majority of cases. Maybe others sustain sleep deprivation better but I doubt anyone is at best after that 72hour project he described they train with. Big cities are horrible no matter if you are on spectrum or what, people are very superficial. small towns are slightly better assuming people there want to know you... many dont really, their life is cozy as it is... but they cant use busyness there as excuse.
I can make another kind of analog: spy networks get caught over some time... they got lazy and didnt update their procedure (kinda camouflage in military battlefield) thus over many years other agencies caught... multiple cases. So it tells something 60+ years stuff is still so bad, they havent changed playbook at all. Also, I can look surgery video material and stomach churns, but that doesnt mean I shouldnt have access to it if it was my surgery and they gotta learn somehow, someone has to do that job and doesnt have this problem(same is in all professions, some aspects, dirty details is guaranteed to make someone churn, but doesnt make job bad simply by that fact).
2:31:41 Like i tell people. Everybody wants to know stuff until they do. "He that inceases knowledge also increases sorrow. "
Why are people remotely tortured with emf weapons , Remote neural monitored from a distance.? !!
Once a company man always a company man..
i just watched skinwalker ranch this dude is in it
Say what? Actor?
Yup and he's not a very good actor either. Which is weird to me
Yea super weird haha
I was wondering where I saw him before.
This dude is a plant, yall get it yet? Like still on gov payroll!!!!
I spent 27 years in the Airforce and my first 10 years I was in SAC Strategic Air Command and I sat Alert with inflight Refueling Tankers and Bombers. Full time hard Alert was stopped in the early 90s. But they can stand up our Bombers and tankers quickly. Bombers targets where never the same targets as the ICBM both land and Navy. But understand if it ever happens the world is dead no one would survive.
@@bakersadventures848 Well not quick enough because they stopped in the 90’s and in the 2000’s 9/11?
The fact that there are nuclear weapons on the planet means we are positioned. Thanks Captain Obvious.
It's no different here in America go to any sheriffs department around here, brothers mothers cousins some are not mentally capable of dealing with the public on a day to day situation.
CIA and Mossad... a sight to behold...
Jordan is overselling, Andrew is good tho
I seen a video of this guy when he was in the army. He was proud that he snitched on his battle buddy …
Listen more, let guests flush out ideas without bringing it back to yourself or assuming watchers need your redefining. First time watcher and I notice you cut your guests off a lot. Do you watch your own show? Thank you for bringing amazing guests! I just want to hear people finish their sentences.
Excellent interview
So, we're positioned for complete nuclear destruction, huh? . . . . The human nature part of me is like, "This is terrifying. I WANNA LIVE!" Then another part of me is like "Good, this world needs a face lift," with all the pain, suffering, racism, classism & just ugliness around the globe. Perhaps a few kilotons of mass destruction is just what the doctor ordered.
thats the purpose of this psyop! He got you to question your own personal truths and beliefs, to the point you actually lost self principle(and agreed to world destruction) in a youtube comment. KNOW your manipulator, thats what bustamonte used to preach...but after hearing him rag on Snowden, I think he too, might have drank the koolaid!
It is the very symbol of Atom's glory!
The bomb is us. The bomb is Atom. And thus, we are Atom -- awaiting the day in which each of us gives birth to a trillion new lives.
Damn sounds like you need Jesus my guy! If you're American, you must work for the government or live in some shithole city to see all that BS. The reason people think all that shit is because they're told things are that way. If we turned off the news and put down these phones more often, things would drastically improve. Meet your neighbors, help your community and ask for help if you need it. Somehow the worst of us have become those actually leading and influencing
Damn my comment saying that the american ppl are not as racist and "ugly" as the US govt would have you believe got deleted but this guys doom n gloom depressed CNN brain comment is fine. Lol F U Tube?
The CIA will trust this contractor with the nuclear
Issue keys 😂
Don't forget cia this guy is, he's been caught several times lieing or misguiding, the only real question is why? I personally don't have time or the energy for why... it's at a point if it's done one is a mistake, more than that and it's deliberate and I don't listen
He definitely has a personality disorder, although I do not know which. I feel sorry for his wife and family if he really has one. It is sort of mind boggling as to why he still gets interviews with what seems every popular RUclipsr / Podcaster.
Why are you here?
@@leacipurrI also got that feeling that there's something off with him. He is a good talker and his subject matter is interesting (true or not) so that's probably a good explanation of how he keeps getting interviews.
@@jonclemens9324 I think the intense training they go through causes prefrontal cortex damage and identity disorders, similar to method actors. Plus, their training includes torture and hostile interrogation simulations and are often experimented on without their knowing.
How can you accuse someone of lying/misguiding without providing proof? It just makes you look like a liar and/or a hater. Do you have any proof?
Best ever is Andrew B keep on telling us please
This guy wants us to believe the CIA has a leash 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 he’s well trained.
I have listened to this dude for long time, trying to figure out if he really worked as a CIA agent or just a low-level coffee boy/lawn boy. I know one thing, his predictions about the russia-Ukraine war have been wrong. The way he explained how powerful and efficient the russian army is "I would agree they are very near-parity with the U.S. and have been for a long time." Yet, we are in year 3 of the war; 600,000+ KIA/Injured on the russian side, and they can't take Ukraine. He made it sound like russia would "steamroll" Ukraine in "5 days times; tops." "The amount of force and efficiency will shock the world."
When he was confronted on his early predictions and how they were far from the actual truth, he said, "Well, not exactly. You have to look at the situation this way. Well, let's talk about manipulation of the media....." LOL -- this dude was nothing but a low-level coffee boy.
Ukraine on it's own probably would've folded a lot sooner. But they have NATO backing them.
Snowden was more of a patriot than you are pal.
That's right and is why Snowden is living in Russia right now buddies with America's greatest enemy of the American people " Putin". You MAGA(t)s make me sick. Not only will your families pay for your ignorance but so will the rest of ours.
Video just started. I’m second guessing this as a last video before sleep. 😂
Dude with the curly hair is a good liar himself. But not that good, clocked him the first interview I saw him in. It’s hard not to roll your eyes and laugh when he speaks.
Exactly, this dude is a huge government schill...
One very important thing when you ask your solo mother if she turns back in time she would have you anyway. And I can tell it for a fact, because I was left alone pregnant at 18, and at 19 I was a solo mother. If I had to come back in time, I would have my son the same 1000 percent! Taking care of him made me responsible and successful person, the second or third day with him I’ve notice that if now I cross the way, I will care to survive, because if I die in an accident, something in this world will change if I disappear. I understood why I live and what do I live for. I became more ambitious, responsible, proactive……. and a book here. Being a solo mother at 19 was the best thing ever happened to me!!! Having him in hard conditions I became successful because of him. I chose a great man in my life later, because my son will have him as an example. A man cannot understand a mother. We have all the changes in the body etc., but you have no idea how more happier and luckier are we being able to have children.
I don't know about doomsday, but I think that he is positioned for a complete hair cut. I guess that everyone needs a trademark of sorts.
After a quick google search: Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia (MAA), affects 30-50% of men by age 50.
Are you envious? :D
@@jessekendall4658 Hi, I don't have male pattern baldness and I am over 50 (though I am about 10% grey). My comment was a feeble attempt at humor. No envy. I imagine that much hair would be too much to take care of and a pain when exercising. One would certainly have to buy a lot more shampoo.
@@jackbuaer3828 congratulations, 50 and slightly gray is goal worthy. I also was attempting to be cheeky but it was my first comment of the morning, not my best work. My thoughts were, while id never want that much hair I know plenty of women who would choose his hair over their own, he definitely goes through a hefty amount of shampoo. Have a great day sir
@@jackbuaer3828 possibly a wig
He reminds me of my narcissistic mother with the hair. Looks goofy on purpose
To become a good liar, one must pre-plan and rehearse their lies. Spontaneous lies are easily detected because they lack consistency and are difficult to remember. Practicing the lie creates muscle memory, making it easier to deliver convincingly.
Motivation and manipulation are two sides of the same coin. Both involve directing human behavior, but motivation has a positive connotation while manipulation is seen as negative. The key difference lies in whether the action benefits the target or the manipulator.
Elicitation is a skill used to assess a person's motivations. It involves observing the environment, asking questions that evoke emotional responses, and paying attention to the target's reactions. By understanding a person's motivations, one can better manipulate or motivate them.
The label on the jar is not always accurate. People's motivations are often more complex than they appear. While someone might seem to be driven by ideology, their true motivation could be a desire for power, revenge, or a sense of belonging.
Elicitation is a crucial skill for understanding people. It allows one to see beyond the surface and uncover the underlying motivations that drive their actions. This understanding is essential for effective communication, persuasion, and even counterintelligence.
I find it physically emotionally and mentally and morally impossible to lie. I’m probably the only person on earth. I know that I really do tell the truth. I cannot stand lies of any kind. That’s why we’re in the fucking mess we’re in.
I promise you’re not the only one on the spectrum (of truth-valuers)
is he a spokes person for Cia? 😮 why is he even "allowed" to speak on all this? Theremust be a catch to thus guy!!!
1. The guy must be 25 years old. 2. The idea of the CIA recruiting Milli Vanilli look alike goes against all I would have expected
Andrew is an awesome dude. Thanks for your service. 14:00ish makes sense why Ch is buying land near military bases; it's much easier to monitor activity domestically than foreign.
But fate decreed that the cloak should become an iron cage. The “last ton of fossilized coal” is not yet burnt, the last barrel of oil is not yet extracted, so much damage remains to be done.
It's very hard to take a man with hair like that seriously... SMH
Had to take polygraph to work in LE and he's so right. You leave the background check and polygraph feeling like the worst person in the world when you are fully honest and you are considered a great candidate... you still feel awful admitting everything you've ever done wrong
His comments are interesting but his ethics are not the greatest. I have very high appreciation for Snowden. We need whistleblowers even as the wrong doers don't like it. Tells everything about them.
Your Mom did it. She loves you more than you know. You only have one Mom. You better cherish her!
Spitting garbage eloquently doesn’t make it true.
Great points
😊
This dude is tingeling from one to another talk show.
As a former cia co-worker, yeah well, hope you understand whats going on here
Idk about this guy. Gives off terrible vibes
His description of the nuclear facility reminds me of entering the "code" at the SWAN in LOST.
Missile launch officers are mainly made up of people who washed out of pilot training. Doesn't like the smell of aviation fuel? Yeah right dude 🤣🤣🤣
I’m aviation smart and mil engaged. He totally washed out at some point of pilot training and somehow ended up with one of the worst officer positions out there.
It's real. I had to change jobs in the Navy because JP-5 made me sick repeatedly
I agree with Andy’s assessment of military recruitment however, I believe a much larger cause of recruitment being down is due to vaccine mandate and the woke policies of the top brass like Milley
Interesting....I would give Snowden a pardon, because at least he had the balls to be honest with the American public about what the NSA was up to. 😉
I especially liked this...Thank you!
That haircut is not in reggs
It's most likely a hairpiece. Notice the band?
