That makes sense for a reason you don't mention. People who are egomaniacs don't have the empathy needed to see someone else's point of view and be able to get into their heads. They might be expert glad-handing salesman, who can fool people in 5 minute encounters, but that isn't the essence of bringing someone at least a little bit emotionally over to your side.

My father was CIA, covered as a State Department FSO. He once told me the CIA was mostly a news service with a few cowboys who liked their martinis shaken, not stirred. He learned Japanese when stationed there in the Marines. When the Korean War started, his unit was sent to Korea, and he learned Korean, so even though he was only a corporal, his commander frequently brought him along as an interpreter, so he met many village leaders. Due to his phenomenal memory, he remembered them a few years later when he took the test for the State Department (one of the hardest tests in the US government). He failed the test. A week later, he was approached by two men in suits and sunglasses who asked him if he still wanted to be an FSO. When he pointed out that he failed the test, they explained that he would actually be CIA, and they were interested partially because he already spoke two foreign languages, but mostly because he knew the name of a particular village headman in Korea. He later learned Mandarin and Cantonese (reading, writing and speaking fluently) and Vietnamese. He retired and then double dipped as an Inspector General and was working on Thai when he died.

@@leok7193 It's fair that everyone lies and things should be approached trustless. "Don't trust, verify." My main point with him is there's an incredibly high probability he's lying/giving tainted information and it's in his best interest/profession to lie. i.e. "with everyone, it could be poison. With him, it's very likely poison, does it professionally and he also loves poisoning people" The tipping point for me with him in this bit is doing nefarious activity for your profession is one thing; but he's admitting taking joy in things like that. I'm just personally trying to +1/push this notion to the forefront of discussion.
By his statement, my guess is that it takes between 16 months to 24 months to get up to speed as a field officer. He described it almost in a way that you use to age a baby.
Gotta admire his headband wig 🤷🏽♀️ installed a lil rusty but made him look more relatable the CIA costume dept certainly did their big one with that wig 👌🏽🤣🤣🤣🤷🏽♀️💯
Tell me this guy didn't come out of the CIA broken. You can literally see the moments when he's questioning everything in his life and his closest friends possibly being completely fabricated 😅😅
That’s not exactly what he was saying but I can see how and why someone would take and run with it without listening to the full account with their own ears. So, you’re using confirmation bias and ignore everything else. 🤦🏾♂️
he doesnt confirm anything like that you are fearmongering. he said people with hgih risk tolerances go into CIA and the Peace corps. the reason the CIA recruited him was because he already did intelligence in the AF and spoke a diff language. lets learn to critically think nephew
Just imagine spending your entire career talking about the seven years you spent working a job. He's the exact definition of a grifter. I'm sure he makes a lot of his former colleagues roll their eyes because he's all that pops up when you search for their employer. I'm also not a fan of his pessimism regarding the US. Historically, betting in favor of the US has yielded pretty good returns, I'm interested in where he thinks his kids would have more opportunities.
Notice how he specifically said the moving to other places thing in reference to "business owners, or people with wealth"? the US is a wonderful country, filled with opportunity. But that opportunity comes mostly in the form of a lot of money if you can succeed in the economy somehow. As someone coming from a fairly well off background in one of the countries he mentioned I can tell you very confidently I can see why someone who already has the resources might decide to live somewhere like Mexico. Imagine you have a million dollars, enough for a pretty ok retirement. In Mexico? You're set for a decent life earning 4% a year on that, forever. 3 million? You'll live in luxury, without a having a worry for the rest of your life. In the US that may be true to an extent, but nowhere near the degree that it is so in some of the cheaper countries he mentioned. This is also one of the reasons why while everyone seems to be very suspicious of this guy I'm a bit more inclined to think they're being sincere. That detail seems very genuine, hard to just pull out of nowhere without having thought through the perspective that he says to have regarding his family and whatnot.
This is a high-level marketing aimed at recruiting specific people. It shows the depletion in our agencies due to a lack of patriotism caused by corporate greed and the government's refusal to check their excesses and care for its people, especially veterans
The corporate sector simply pays better than the USG. And if Trump gets elected, Schedule F will drive even more top people out of USG jobs into the private sector.
It's comical that I'm going to a former CIA agent who admits he's only telling me what he's authorized to tell me and I'm expected to believe that this is the real deal
After all of those pictures of him in the past and this talk about disguises, I was just waiting for him to say “This isn’t even my REAL hair!” before he dramatically pulls of that wig
I don't understand why he says that those with anxiety and Autism make good CIA officers. He says it's because they have a higher level of emotional control. It's true that those with anxiety and Autism are constantly trying to maintain emotional control but, in my experience, that means using all my energy to attempt acting in a normal manner while any excess stimuli will set us off emotionally. I think I'd make the WORSE CIA officer.
I too can not see how having anxiety will make you a good agent. However, I do agree with the autism claim. More specifically with low-need autism. Once they stop masking and don't have an overt stim, I can see how their (perceived) limited emotional range can benefit the agency.
I also wonder about the degree of anxiety that's helpful. I have a history of panic disorder and went through a lot of chaotic life during that time, but since then have been able to manage anxiety without rescue medication. I can absolutely see how someone with a similar mindset could experience anxiety in the field and internally say "this is nothing new and I know how to get through it."
A lot of us autistic folks struggle to read the fine details of human emotion. Which is probably an important skill to have to manipulate people. This guy just sounds like every online coach, just with a different backstory. I'm pretty sure you can find everything he said online and the fact that the CIA won't say who was employed and who wasn't is a very comfortable position for him.
Yeah they usually want people who are sociable, make friends easily. I don’t mean to say that everything with autism and anxiety isn’t capable of those things. But I mean the whole point of CIA is they are spies trying to recruit foreigners/assets and flip other spies for the most part. The personality type they’d prefer seems pretty obvious.
I didn't think so at all. I think you are just heavily projecting. And YOU felt extremely uncomfortable when he was describing that. Because you have really deep secrets.
@@JOHNDOE-weeatin lmaooo, I’m non-binary, and have experimented with men and they aren’t for me.

This guy would betray his own mother. **Edit for those that don't know. On a previous interview. He said he was in Air Force Basic and his room mate was drinking underage. He went out of his way to go rat on the kid and he got kicked out. Not saying the kid was doing the right thing. But this dudes a snake in the long grass.
This guy will go as low as his adversary, apparently, so lets hope his adversary doesn't betray his own mother, or engage in cannibalism, to give him "an advantage."
Its wasn't failed it was executed just as they planned, the entire eastern seaboard air force were all sent to Canadian border for "training". News reporter called out a collapsed building when it was still standing for 3 mins right behind her live on-air. Watched it live, my professor who has a masters in architecture came and only saw the building falling and said its a professional demolition and walked out of the room. The clean up wasn't even investigated and instead hauled off to be dumped into the Atlantic so it would never be investigated. The CIA didn't fail, they slaughtered Americans for their own agenda.
@@ianstiehl1994 The US government also trained and armed a small faction of the Mexican cartel that broke off became bigger and worst than any cartel before them and are now flooding the boarder killing Americans. The time past doesn't lesson the crimes against humanity, psychopath.
What does he mean that CIA is accountable? I have never seen or heard about anybody from CIA being punished for anything in any shape or form. Not in the news, in books or in movies. I have never heard about it happen ever. Not even fictional stories.
One thing that occurred me when I met "CIA contractors" in the war on terror.. is the "agents" weren't the Jason Borne people. Most were prior military and well versed in our operations with some looser rules and a lot more money, but they weren't like, "secret agent" folks. I've never met the cloak and dagger super secret squirrel spy type of person. So I always look at these types of interviews like, "Were you really a "spy"? or were you contracted by the CIA for a specific field operation?" which is 2 very different things.
You’re right- they’re two different things. CIA contractors, like some of the former military guys in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria aren’t “collecting intelligence” like a James Bond spy- they’re performing “security” functions, trainings, other stuff. But their job is not to recruit assets. This system has a lot to do with the executive branch authority over military operations and Congress being derelict in their responsibilities to declare war and better define title 10 and title 50. Since the GWOT started, title 50 operations have basically just become the way we fight wars now. JSOC stuff and Blackwater scandals gets leaked to the media- or, someone gets killed and that’s how the media and even Senators learn that we have people on the ground in Niger, Somalia, Syria, etc. for example. But idk how or why the executive branch and the agencies expects this stuff to all stay out of the press- you can’t fight huge wars in secret because it’s politically convenient.
I see a lot of this types infiltrating the conversation sphere of media lately. Always on this sort of show, always on podcasts. The CIA's mission statement is that they don't conduct operations within the United States, but honestly anyone would have to be very stupid to believe they respect that. There's something about freeform talk and spreading of ideas they're trying to learn more about or control in my opinion. Hence the fantastical background stories that just don't align to reality.
The guy’s list of countries he wants to emigrate to says more about him than the state of the world. “They’re corrupt - but predictably corrupt.” With a few exceptions (like Norway and Switzerland), people aren’t rushing to these places to seek opportunity - but they are places where you can manipulate the system.
I was actually thinking the same thing. There is a reason, despite all its faults, the US has an insane amount of immigration, both legally and illegally, from all corners of the world.
He said CIA is looking for thoses type of profiles : pathological liar, antisocial personnality disorder (newer category that includes psychopathy), sociopath By definition, psychopaths do not experience shame and guilt... Secret life = includes what an individual is afraid of//ashamed of //guilt //deepest questions Not sure if I am connecting the dots correctly
He's talking under the umbrella of the DSM-V, where diagnosis is on a spectrum. Anything that would be diagnosed as pertaining to the dark triad, (on a spectrum), will typically leave someone who is morally flexible. You can find someone that rates to a degree of psychopathy where they feel guilt or remorse, but it's not enough to restrict their behavior or weigh on them. Think of it this way; almost any part of the brain can be highly developed or not. Guilt stems from the paracingulate dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (among other areas to a lesser degree), which is part of the brain that gives us our higher reasoning and foresight. That's why teenagers are usually shamed into a remorseful state, in fear of reprisal and losing peer acceptance, whereas adults tend to have a more focused moral compass aligned with empathy. Absolute psychopaths show highly diminished activity there. So, just find someone that's somewhere in the middle. As he'd mentioned that a core motivator is ideology, most people in govt services (DoD included) are typically going to rate very high on their idealogical motivations. So if you can get someone with enough of the characteristics of the dark triad, ideologically motivated, they'll do just about anything and not question until it's long over. All of that is recruitment. As for the "secret life", that's anyone. I think he made it sound a bit more open than people are, but that's just my opinion. Usually someone's secret life tends to diminish as they get older, mostly because the need for peer acceptance decreases, the social circle gets much smaller (but the people within that secret circle is comparatively much larger), thereby the chances of being embarrassed or shamed for something decreases. Self confidence goes up and a good amount of life's existential fears fade precipitously, so the need to protect internal fears or guilt diminishes. Usually though, those people are often of the age where they wouldn't be an accessible line asset for a CIA officer. But he was just referring to how to get into someone's life to the point where they trust you implicitly, and you can turn them into an asset, exploiting one of their core motivators. It's just manipulation. I hope that helps.
definitely. if a condition of his employment is not to take drugs and he does, he definitely doesn't have the discipline to operate in a foreign country with next to no supervision. failing to properly operate a prosthetic dick is the least disqualifying part of that sentence
Somewhat accurate. Remember that each prospective recruit may need a different approach than another so each mission is different and needs to be planned differently. Just something for thought.

That photograph in front of Mao was a middle-finger to all the operations he messed up for the Chinese, lol.
Ironically, you can read his book Killing Hope for free on the CIA's website. A copy was found in OBL's Abottabad compound so they entered it as "evidence" in order to screw Blum out of publishing royalties.

My father was CIA, covered as a State Department FSO. He once told me the CIA was mostly a news service with a few cowboys who liked their martinis shaken, not stirred.
He learned Japanese when stationed there in the Marines. When the Korean War started, his unit was sent to Korea, and he learned Korean, so even though he was only a corporal, his commander frequently brought him along as an interpreter, so he met many village leaders.
Due to his phenomenal memory, he remembered them a few years later when he took the test for the State Department (one of the hardest tests in the US government). He failed the test.
A week later, he was approached by two men in suits and sunglasses who asked him if he still wanted to be an FSO. When he pointed out that he failed the test, they explained that he would actually be CIA, and they were interested partially because he already spoke two foreign languages, but mostly because he knew the name of a particular village headman in Korea.
He later learned Mandarin and Cantonese (reading, writing and speaking fluently) and Vietnamese. He retired and then double dipped as an Inspector General and was working on Thai when he died.
Your dad sounds like a fascinating person

@@leok7193 It's fair that everyone lies and things should be approached trustless. "Don't trust, verify." My main point with him is there's an incredibly high probability he's lying/giving tainted information and it's in his best interest/profession to lie. i.e. "with everyone, it could be poison. With him, it's very likely poison, does it professionally and he also loves poisoning people"
The tipping point for me with him in this bit is doing nefarious activity for your profession is one thing; but he's admitting taking joy in things like that. I'm just personally trying to +1/push this notion to the forefront of discussion.
By his statement, my guess is that it takes between 16 months to 24 months to get up to speed as a field officer. He described it almost in a way that you use to age a baby.

The semantic judo and doublespeak from this dude and the cia is a marvel.
Just imagine spending your entire career talking about the seven years you spent working a job. He's the exact definition of a grifter. I'm sure he makes a lot of his former colleagues roll their eyes because he's all that pops up when you search for their employer. I'm also not a fan of his pessimism regarding the US. Historically, betting in favor of the US has yielded pretty good returns, I'm interested in where he thinks his kids would have more opportunities.
pessimism?
diagree. he’s a realist.
Notice how he specifically said the moving to other places thing in reference to "business owners, or people with wealth"? the US is a wonderful country, filled with opportunity. But that opportunity comes mostly in the form of a lot of money if you can succeed in the economy somehow. As someone coming from a fairly well off background in one of the countries he mentioned I can tell you very confidently I can see why someone who already has the resources might decide to live somewhere like Mexico. Imagine you have a million dollars, enough for a pretty ok retirement. In Mexico? You're set for a decent life earning 4% a year on that, forever. 3 million? You'll live in luxury, without a having a worry for the rest of your life. In the US that may be true to an extent, but nowhere near the degree that it is so in some of the cheaper countries he mentioned.
This is also one of the reasons why while everyone seems to be very suspicious of this guy I'm a bit more inclined to think they're being sincere. That detail seems very genuine, hard to just pull out of nowhere without having thought through the perspective that he says to have regarding his family and whatnot.
He’s one of the best Insider subjects ever. Very compelling, intelligent, and he actually offered new information I’d never heard before.
you must be clueless if this guy enlightened you
Nice try, CIA

You can never escape the buddy focker for he is everywhere.
I love how he's trying so hard to advertise the cia while also making them sound like the most overtly evil supervillains ive ever heard of
I don't understand why he says that those with anxiety and Autism make good CIA officers. He says it's because they have a higher level of emotional control. It's true that those with anxiety and Autism are constantly trying to maintain emotional control but, in my experience, that means using all my energy to attempt acting in a normal manner while any excess stimuli will set us off emotionally. I think I'd make the WORSE CIA officer.
I too can not see how having anxiety will make you a good agent. However, I do agree with the autism claim. More specifically with low-need autism. Once they stop masking and don't have an overt stim, I can see how their (perceived) limited emotional range can benefit the agency.
I also wonder about the degree of anxiety that's helpful. I have a history of panic disorder and went through a lot of chaotic life during that time, but since then have been able to manage anxiety without rescue medication. I can absolutely see how someone with a similar mindset could experience anxiety in the field and internally say "this is nothing new and I know how to get through it."
A lot of us autistic folks struggle to read the fine details of human emotion. Which is probably an important skill to have to manipulate people. This guy just sounds like every online coach, just with a different backstory. I'm pretty sure you can find everything he said online and the fact that the CIA won't say who was employed and who wasn't is a very comfortable position for him.
If you can't cut it with the CIA, you'd probably do well in the FBI or NSA.
Yeah they usually want people who are sociable, make friends easily. I don’t mean to say that everything with autism and anxiety isn’t capable of those things. But I mean the whole point of CIA is they are spies trying to recruit foreigners/assets and flip other spies for the most part. The personality type they’d prefer seems pretty obvious.

This is his career now. He gets on so many channels and just repeats basic stuff about the CIA. I bet he just had a desk top.
there's a difference between betrayal and sacrifice.
i like that he said the cia failed on 9.11 but failed to mention it was the cia that armed and trained the taliban
Its wasn't failed it was executed just as they planned, the entire eastern seaboard air force were all sent to Canadian border for "training". News reporter called out a collapsed building when it was still standing for 3 mins right behind her live on-air. Watched it live, my professor who has a masters in architecture came and only saw the building falling and said its a professional demolition and walked out of the room. The clean up wasn't even investigated and instead hauled off to be dumped into the Atlantic so it would never be investigated. The CIA didn't fail, they slaughtered Americans for their own agenda.

Correction: They helped train and arm the Mujahideen, in the 80's...a small fraction of which contributed to the Taliban some 2 decades later.
@@ianstiehl1994 The US government also trained and armed a small faction of the Mexican cartel that broke off became bigger and worst than any cartel before them and are now flooding the boarder killing Americans. The time past doesn't lesson the crimes against humanity, psychopath.
it's awesome to see pauly shore again, always wondered what happened to him after bio-dome

Damn you. 😂
“Dental plan!”
That gap might be used for concealing a document hidden in a tooth.
This interview is absolutely fascinating.
It’s like you play double agent against your self, while distracted by a missing tooth and hairdo with a personality of its own.
I see a lot of overlap in the SADRAT model and the DENNIS model from Always Sunny

Yes I was searching for this comment!
This is like the TH-cam form of the military people that show up at your high school and try getting you to sign up for the army💀💀💀
0:15 If the answer is always yes to that question, you are no longer thinking.
Nor are you really asking the question.
If you're thinking that, chances are, the other countries are also thinking that. At that point we're just all killing each other for nothing.
@KaitoverMoon overcoming this circus of distrust is what is needed at this juncture, but how?
That definition of how CIA espionage is legal makes me think of privateers back in the golden age of piracy
LMAO, This was a long ad for everyday spy. Love it!
You're one of the few that noticed.
What does he mean that CIA is accountable?
I have never seen or heard about anybody from CIA being punished for anything in any shape or form. Not in the news, in books or in movies. I have never heard about it happen ever. Not even fictional stories.
what you’ve never heard of the most secretive agency in the us, maybe world, be punished? I’ll let you figure that out.
One thing that occurred me when I met "CIA contractors" in the war on terror.. is the "agents" weren't the Jason Borne people. Most were prior military and well versed in our operations with some looser rules and a lot more money, but they weren't like, "secret agent" folks. I've never met the cloak and dagger super secret squirrel spy type of person. So I always look at these types of interviews like, "Were you really a "spy"? or were you contracted by the CIA for a specific field operation?" which is 2 very different things.
You’re right- they’re two different things. CIA contractors, like some of the former military guys in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria aren’t “collecting intelligence” like a James Bond spy- they’re performing “security” functions, trainings, other stuff. But their job is not to recruit assets. This system has a lot to do with the executive branch authority over military operations and Congress being derelict in their responsibilities to declare war and better define title 10 and title 50.
Since the GWOT started, title 50 operations have basically just become the way we fight wars now.
JSOC stuff and Blackwater scandals gets leaked to the media- or, someone gets killed and that’s how the media and even Senators learn that we have people on the ground in Niger, Somalia, Syria, etc. for example.
But idk how or why the executive branch and the agencies expects this stuff to all stay out of the press- you can’t fight huge wars in secret because it’s politically convenient.
I see a lot of this types infiltrating the conversation sphere of media lately. Always on this sort of show, always on podcasts. The CIA's mission statement is that they don't conduct operations within the United States, but honestly anyone would have to be very stupid to believe they respect that. There's something about freeform talk and spreading of ideas they're trying to learn more about or control in my opinion. Hence the fantastical background stories that just don't align to reality.
Also, "agent" is a very different thing from "officer" in spook-speak.
The guy’s list of countries he wants to emigrate to says more about him than the state of the world. “They’re corrupt - but predictably corrupt.” With a few exceptions (like Norway and Switzerland), people aren’t rushing to these places to seek opportunity - but they are places where you can manipulate the system.
I was actually thinking the same thing. There is a reason, despite all its faults, the US has an insane amount of immigration, both legally and illegally, from all corners of the world.
That tooth belongs to the government.
The fact that so many comments feel enthusiasm for what this guy says is even more terrifying than what he says.
He said CIA is looking for thoses type of profiles : pathological liar, antisocial personnality disorder (newer category that includes psychopathy), sociopath
By definition, psychopaths do not experience shame and guilt...
Secret life = includes what an individual is afraid of//ashamed of //guilt //deepest questions
Not sure if I am connecting the dots correctly
He's talking under the umbrella of the DSM-V, where diagnosis is on a spectrum. Anything that would be diagnosed as pertaining to the dark triad, (on a spectrum), will typically leave someone who is morally flexible. You can find someone that rates to a degree of psychopathy where they feel guilt or remorse, but it's not enough to restrict their behavior or weigh on them. Think of it this way; almost any part of the brain can be highly developed or not. Guilt stems from the paracingulate dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (among other areas to a lesser degree), which is part of the brain that gives us our higher reasoning and foresight. That's why teenagers are usually shamed into a remorseful state, in fear of reprisal and losing peer acceptance, whereas adults tend to have a more focused moral compass aligned with empathy. Absolute psychopaths show highly diminished activity there. So, just find someone that's somewhere in the middle.
As he'd mentioned that a core motivator is ideology, most people in govt services (DoD included) are typically going to rate very high on their idealogical motivations. So if you can get someone with enough of the characteristics of the dark triad, ideologically motivated, they'll do just about anything and not question until it's long over.
All of that is recruitment. As for the "secret life", that's anyone. I think he made it sound a bit more open than people are, but that's just my opinion. Usually someone's secret life tends to diminish as they get older, mostly because the need for peer acceptance decreases, the social circle gets much smaller (but the people within that secret circle is comparatively much larger), thereby the chances of being embarrassed or shamed for something decreases. Self confidence goes up and a good amount of life's existential fears fade precipitously, so the need to protect internal fears or guilt diminishes. Usually though, those people are often of the age where they wouldn't be an accessible line asset for a CIA officer. But he was just referring to how to get into someone's life to the point where they trust you implicitly, and you can turn them into an asset, exploiting one of their core motivators. It's just manipulation. I hope that helps.
@@gened9632 I really enjoyed reading you answer :-) It helps indeed. Thank you very much
@@virginielekiwi Thank you! I just read this again and realized that I could have been clearer on certain points, but I'm glad that it helped.

@18:45 my friend had his fake wiener fall off during a drug test. He wouldnt be a good cia officer.
definitely. if a condition of his employment is not to take drugs and he does, he definitely doesn't have the discipline to operate in a foreign country with next to no supervision.
failing to properly operate a prosthetic dick is the least disqualifying part of that sentence
CIA changed all these practices, manuals and training methods after Andy defected to TH-cam 😎

So how realistic was the depiction of cia recrutment and training in the film "The Recruit" with Al Pacino and Colin Farrell?
I ask because it really seems to accurately reflect in large part what dude talks about in the video.
Somewhat accurate. Remember that each prospective recruit may need a different approach than another so each mission is different and needs to be planned differently. Just something for thought.
On a list of fake "CIA Field Agents" who really worked the mail room, this guy is at the top.
Yup. They sent the “ best and the brightest “ to tell us all.
