@@tpkyterooluebeck9224 First of all I want to say that I really agree with your comment and it would be very helpful if someone would take some time and create subs for this video or videos on youtube in general. It's not only helpful for deaf people, but also for people that like to train their brains to read and listen to English when they are not native speakers and to some degree with the help of google translate and "open transcript" option on youtube to even understand what the video is saying without even knowing the language. Also I wouldn't call the "youtube's attempt" crap, because if you think about it, it's amazing what a computer can do just by analyzing a sound. Imagine how many different accents there are and how differently people speak (loudness, pitch etc) and it still manages to get it right 90% of the times. I use it alot because many times I watch a video at x1.5 or x2 so I can finish it faster and having some kind of help on the bottom of my screen at all times is very helpful since I'm not a native English speaker (even though I believe I'm quite proficient at it) and I can miss some words due to pronunciaton (aka when British people speak :P ).

Not a single person in my extensive network of family, friends, and acquaintances has yet realized that this wheelchair I’ve been using for 24 years is just a part of my disguise. Truthfully, I can walk just fine. But the enemy must never find out!
This presentation is absolutely fascinating! 👌 I had the opportunity to see Jonna and her husband, who was also a CIA operative, in person several years ago. Their stories were captivating! It was a series that a local newspaper sponsored to the public of various prominent guest speakers usually twice a year. Of course, we had to pay for tickets. It was worthwhile.
Am I the only one who really wanted her to pull off her 'face' at the end to reveal she had actually been wearing a mask throughout the whole interview?
Her CIA husband was Tony Mendez, the man the movie ARGO was made after. I heard him speak at a luncheon years ago, describing how he exfiltrated the American diplomats out of Iran. Wonderful family they are. RIP, Tony!
Throughout the whole thing I was like uh huh expecting her to say one more thing to wrap the idea together so I would actually understand and then she switched topics and at the end I was just like ok we have advanced masks and agents can change quickly
Uhm.. she may not have told everything they use, but everything she mentions she details pretty clearly.. how they disguise people, even down to the roof of the mouth thing.. what makes you say she didnt reveal anything?
@@asimasim8207 you don't have to think, just listen.. everything she says may be common knowledge, so she isn't talking about anything top secret, but she clearly details what is talked about.. that's not a matter of opinion, but a matter of understanding language..
That part when they showed photos of her meeting Bush, I didn't even realize that she was wearing a mask. I just thought she was holding a severed head at the last photo. It was pretty shocking and impressive
Soccer is the number 1 and most important sport on Planet Earth and is massive in over 240 countries. Every nation on Earth loves soccer. American football is only popular in the USA. Soccer will be the most popular sport in the USA by 2050 rycn
Tony & Jonna have 4 books between them. They are friends of the family. Truly fascinating and delightful people. We were heartbroken when Tony Passed this January.
I mean her nose and general face shape are similar to the first model being shown, while her gums are bigger beneath the lips and her lower face is saggier though she has a pretty slim neck. Eye colour is, of course, different as well; Assuming her name is Mendez that could indicate brown eyes as being the originals, rather than blue eyes. Shoulder width and posture seem to match too. The old pictures show us that she has at least attempted to actually recreate her original hair colour, though it is now not looking so curly. Can't find something that would directly confirm that she is not the same woman shown to disguise as a man.
Jonna Mendez is the wife of Tony Mendez, the operative who helped rescue the six American hostages in 1979. See the movie "Argo." In the book, her husband talks about the different hostile operatives you have to confuse. A trained Moscow operative is more difficult to fool than a revolutionary guard zealot who may not be as trained in spy craft.
Bush SENIOR, no less. He was the former Director of Central Intelligence. It's a real feather in her cap to say she fooled the former head of the CIA, As for Bush JUNOR... well, you could fool him by holding a magazine in front of your face with somebody else on the cover.

Makes a lot of sense psychologically too - if they think you're running, they're just going to chase you. If they feel like they failed though, they'd likely be beating themselves up over it and need some time to get back on task.
@@bd1043 On so many levels, where do I begin? The covering up of scars, injuries, implants, track marks, etc. with tattoos, it is easy to make mistakes on a robot and to make it not look like it with “tattoos”, the black and red ink especially are very poisonous, lodging into the bloodstream and staying in the liver causing liver and more damage, immune problems because the ink is a foreign body that the natural human body rejects to protect itself, nano bots are possible in the ink or who knows what else too, tattoos look ugly because they look like disease or ill health and are not symmetrical or attractive thus causing fear and pain to us looking at them, tattoos have been used to mark and number people as slaves, tattoos in the prison system, tattoos as codes they speak to each other with (ie. The butterfly, etc.), and it’s a blood letting or blood libel ritual. There’s more, that’s just off the top of my head!
Most of this is...well maybe not common knowledge, but it's certainly not secret. These tricks and strategies are more or less "industry standard". It's interesting to the layman, but for anybody who's ever actually done this sort of thing these are the basics of basics.
I have lots of military family and they always say that anything "revealed" to us regular folks is probably so outdated it isn't used anymore, or the enemy has already figured it out too, so it doesn't matter.
OR, she shares these so you think there are newer ones, and disregard this one for being old, and not used. While actually they still use this ALWAYS, and try to trick you they dont anymore.
She is smart in her wordings and anything she says probably is already in a museum or comum knowledge. The woman was a chief, so i doubt she's going to reveal anything really secretive
Jianwang Aran maybe bc u saw her sit down in original form. I saw it was makeup so I acknowledged it was a woman. thinking She couldn’t actually look like that (or he for that matter). but some ppl have that ethereal look to them. Man or woman. I have seen a few people!
@@RoachZone Yeah, that 'costume' would have failed in 10min after entering the 'enemy' grounds. Who are they going to fool with this? Children? I mean, a trained eye of the party they want to spy on will quickly realize that there is something wrong. Not to mention that women and men have different styles of how they sit and walk. The shoulders are different, and the curves of the hip area. Even the skin... women have smooth skin, while men have more leathery skin - they will have to cover the neck, hands, and the face with a huge amount of makeup to cover this. The clip was nothing more than a cheap attempt to entertain the audience with trashy techniques.
She actually trying to trick us into thinking that these are all the techniques they have, but they have the most advance technology that they don't want to show to public.

Painting a portrait is very much like making a disguise. To get the "likeness" you just have to put together each little detail accurately enough. There's no secret to it - it's just a number of paint layers adding the right details. I had no idea that using disguises was the similar to this.
Plot Twist: This is only the old method of doing things. They have now mastered invisibility cloaking devices, hologram technology, and instant plastic surgery.
The scary part about this is that this whole time that she had been being interviewed is that she could be in a disguise and be whole different person then we know.
No offense to whoever is the real life person but she looks like a male here, even with the posture, broad shoulders and sitting posture opening their legs
This information reminds me so much of the spy-action thriller television series 'Alias' where Jennifer Gardner aka Sydney Bristow was a CIA official and she performed the role so well. The series gave the viewers a glimpse of 'CIA espionage' world and connections ... A very interesting and informative tv series.
Haven't had tv for decades. Sounds like a good show. Can watch a few clips on TH-cam to see what it was Iike. I liked the old, "The Avengers" TV British spy series. If you aren't over 50, you probably haven't heard of it. Prob some clips of it on you tube.
I've heard people say that we need to b vulnerable. This would b true only w the right people: those who care about us & will not gossip about us or eviscerate us when our backs r turned. How did Jesus Himself feel about this? In John 2:23-25 "Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did; but Jesus DID NOT TRUST himself to them, because He knew all men and needed no one to bear witness of man; for He himself knew what was in man." Jesus was vulnerable to & trusted some people, like His disciples. But certainly not everyone.
One day on the playground in elementary school, I decided I no longer liked the way I walked and wanted to change it. I then started walking differently, and I've been walking that way ever since.
+Victor Chang I live in the Netherlands, that 3-fingers sign is exactly how I learned to say '3'. I was really surprised when I saw someone hold up their index, middle and ring finger and I assumed the person had a disability and that they simply couldn't bend their thumb.
@@Widdekuu91 That's really interesting, I'm English and I noticed absolutely nothing wrong when Michael Fassbender used his fingers, not his thumb. Cool how such small differences in culture is so obvious.
+Eben Dennison Haha, I agree . :) I have a book about gestures, it's a German book though, there are no translations. But it's called 'In 80 Fettnäpfchen um die Welt' by Françoise Hauser, it's about gestures, words, movements, gifts. And how all of those things can make you look like a total idiot in other countries (the translation would be; "Round the world in 80 blunders.") I also noticed the Irish/English/British/everyone across the pond, finds the opposite peace-sign offensive. Showing the index and middle finger, back-of-the-hand-towards-the-other-person. But when I was young, we'd use that symbol if we wanted to swear an oath. I'd say; 'I swear I won't steal any of your Pokémoncards while you're using the loo, you can trust me' and if the other kid had doubts, I'd make a "V" with my index and middle finger, aim it towards them, move the hand to the right side and of my head and spit through the "V." Multiple times if necessary. That meant 'I swear' and that was about as serious as an Unbreakable Vow in Harry Potter.
Wonder Kid The whole idea of Magna Carta and how it effects me in the Southern United States of America as a person in Post Office Space times like these were glossed over entirely I'd even suggest they had little intention to ever have mentioned it in the first place and it's not lost on me.
yes those unique mannerisms must be addressed....I knew a fellow who came to a Halloween dance in a very good gorilla costume and NOBODY knew WHO it could be UNTIL we saw him get up and WALK to go get a drink. He had a unique strut and we ALL identified him immediately!
Would depend where you live. If you live in NYC, Chicago, etc then you probably have. If you live in a city with a population of less than 100,000 then its likely you never have.
I've actually used a quick change to get security off my back before, simply just taking off a hoodie, tying up my hair an putting on glasses, it really makes a huge difference when someone is looking for specific aspects they only got a glimpse at previously
I would like to see if computer face recognition technology can see through a disguise and correctly identify a person. Or what levels of face modification is necessary to fool it.

How are you sure she wasn't in disguise?
@@TheBusyJane dun dun dun
I actually half expected her to take off a wig or something lol
it should have been a a man, and then take off the mask an be a woman.
@@Zahnpuppy - But then take off the woman mask because it was a man all along.
That woman's disguise as an old man is exactly how somebody would look like in a disguise.
Jianwang Aran maybe bc u saw her sit down in original form. I saw it was makeup so I acknowledged it was a woman. thinking She couldn’t actually look like that (or he for that matter). but some ppl have that ethereal look to them. Man or woman. I have seen a few people!
@@victoria-le7ew nah she definitely looks like a woman xD have you ever seen an old man?
It's all in the eyes.
It's because the shape of her face, you expect someone old to have an oval or square looking jaw, not a feminine one. It's a terribly botched job xd
@@RoachZone Yeah, that 'costume' would have failed in 10min after entering the 'enemy' grounds. Who are they going to fool with this? Children? I mean, a trained eye of the party they want to spy on will quickly realize that there is something wrong.
Not to mention that women and men have different styles of how they sit and walk. The shoulders are different, and the curves of the hip area. Even the skin... women have smooth skin, while men have more leathery skin - they will have to cover the neck, hands, and the face with a huge amount of makeup to cover this.
The clip was nothing more than a cheap attempt to entertain the audience with trashy techniques.

No not really, that old man disguise was clearly rushed. It looked like a woman who is trying to be a man lol
nah it didnt look as authentic

Maybe that’s because she was actually that man and the woman we saw was just a disguise 🤯

This is one video that is actually pretty interesting
Painting a portrait is very much like making a disguise. To get the "likeness" you just have to put together each little detail accurately enough. There's no secret to it - it's just a number of paint layers adding the right details. I had no idea that using disguises was the similar to this.
And I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids.

This information reminds me so much of the spy-action thriller television series 'Alias' where Jennifer Gardner aka Sydney Bristow was a CIA official and she performed the role so well. The series gave the viewers a glimpse of 'CIA espionage' world and connections ... A very interesting and informative tv series.
Haven't had tv for decades. Sounds like a good show. Can watch a few clips on TH-cam to see what it was Iike.
I liked the old, "The Avengers" TV British spy series. If you aren't over 50, you probably haven't heard of it. Prob some clips of it on you tube.

I've heard people say that we need to b vulnerable. This would b true only w the right people: those who care about us & will not gossip about us or eviscerate us when our backs r turned.
How did Jesus Himself feel about this? In John 2:23-25 "Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did; but Jesus DID NOT TRUST himself to them, because He knew all men and needed no one to bear witness of man; for He himself knew what was in man." Jesus was vulnerable to & trusted some people, like His disciples. But certainly not everyone.

I wonder how the agents cope with their disguises in extreme weather- heat, cold, winds, storms, etc.
With extreme determination

I live in the Netherlands, that 3-fingers sign is exactly how I learned to say '3'. I was really surprised when I saw someone hold up their index, middle and ring finger and I assumed the person had a disability and that they simply couldn't bend their thumb.
best scene in the movie.

Haha, I agree . :) I have a book about gestures, it's a German book though, there are no translations. But it's called 'In 80 Fettnäpfchen um die Welt' by Françoise Hauser, it's about gestures, words, movements, gifts. And how all of those things can make you look like a total idiot in other countries (the translation would be; "Round the world in 80 blunders.")
I also noticed the Irish/English/British/everyone across the pond, finds the opposite peace-sign offensive.
Showing the index and middle finger, back-of-the-hand-towards-the-other-person.
But when I was young, we'd use that symbol if we wanted to swear an oath.
I'd say; 'I swear I won't steal any of your Pokémoncards while you're using the loo, you can trust me' and if the other kid had doubts, I'd make a "V" with my index and middle finger, aim it towards them, move the hand to the right side and of my head and spit through the "V." Multiple times if necessary.
That meant 'I swear' and that was about as serious as an Unbreakable Vow in Harry Potter.
