Incredible! Your telling history in these conversations. Historians in future will look back on this as a golden resource! ❤

[@MikeC.11]

I haven't even watched this yet but I know it's going to be great. After watching the Milt Bearden interview and reading his book "The Main Enemy" (outstanding book, BTW) in which Jack Devine figured prominently, these men are Agency legends.

[@mcorbin9474]

I'm already looking forward to seeing Jack's next appearance.

[@jesserobert3725]

Great interview! Keep them coming boys.

[@somefrigginguy2844]

Word of Advice, Cut in your Advertising later, never interrupt an interview, but im probably gonna get the press too 😢.

[@nickkizer3481]

It’s a live stream

[@scm6545]

@@nickkizer3481Can’t it be clipped in before/after the stream? If so, would be much much better that way.

[@somefrigginguy2844]

@scm6545 exactly, live stream or not, it can be cut in as a break, but reading your advertisements in front of your guests is amateur stuff, I'm not knocking these guys, they have a good show, i will watch either way, but if you rewatch the video a thought is lost and it's just good practice to let guests talk without interruption. I just think of stuff at the pro level, honestly I think they do a great job, but this time I felt like a thought was lost and the speaker was cut off, go rewatch it it's right in the beginning.

[@somefrigginguy2844]

@nickkizer3481 let's fight over it ! Any time bro ! Any place ! 😆. 😜 jk But just to clarify, I think it would be better to professionally pre record the advertisements that give a better Advertisement as well as a better interview, if you do this you can send it to the company with the ad contract and be like 20 percent more, we give you the high quality devoted ad lol. It serves multiple purposes, a Plug is BUY MY TEA CUP, An Advertisements is what he read, Plugs are okay during interview because they are shorter, but I like arguing over random nonsense on the internet, so COME AT ME BRO

[@THEFUTUREMARINE2016]

​@somefrigginguy2844 Probably contract stipulations, you can't just cut it out. Either they record live or the entire show would have to be pre-recorded with pre-recorded adverts.

Philby was recruited well prior to the existence of the KGB. It was NKVD & GRU back then. Angleton suspected him from the get-go, but was ignored.

[@LRRPFco52]

CIA had way more than "a mole". Dulles & Donovan brought in the Gehlen Organization and Belorussians at the end of WWII through the late 1940s. The Soviets ran the most aggressive saturation penetration attack on the infant US Foreign Services, and seeded the Agency with roughly 200 assets during that time. Those assets began recruiting more, while some turned triple after seeing how life in the US really was. The Belorussian cover was typically claims of being targeted by the Bolsheviks, having to flee, and then working for the Germans during the War. General Vaslov's Army is an interesting case where the Soviets ran a sabotage operation against it with a double agent who parachuted into occupied territory, was captured by the Germans, then slowly let them know he had info about moles in Vaslov's army. Beria had prepared him for that mission unbeknownst to Stalin, since he was Belorussian. That asset ended up in the Agency and ran an art gallery in Alexandria for years.

[@benjaminpendleton7797]

Correct: Charlie Wilson was initially opposed to supplying the mujahideen with Stingers. The first person to publicly call for Stingers for the mujahideen was Presidential candidate Ronald Reagan, shortly after the Soviet invasion, as documented in the Washington Post. My reporting from Afghanistan, Paktia and Loghar Provinces, Fall 1983, calling for anti-aircraft weapons for the mujahideen, was presented to Congress by Committe for a Free Afghanistan, in the Spring of 1984. Ultimately it wasn't Charlie Wilson, Reagan, me, the CIA or anyone else who won the war, it was the Islamic mujahideen of Afghanistan.

[@benjaminpendleton7797]

"Reagan specifically urged the supplying of U.S. shoulder-launched, heat-seeking missiles that can shoot down Soviet helicopter gunships." Martin Schram, January 10, 1980, Washington Post. This statement by presidential candidate Ronald Reagan occurred on January 9, 1980, on the campaign trail, only two weeks after the Soviet invasion.

The man is a Legend

[@bombatta1544]

Seems like such a sweet older ex-assassin.

[@benjaminpendleton7797]

Charlie Wilson didn't initially support Stingers for the mujahideen; he was pushing hard for the far less practical and ultimately ineffective Swiss-made, 22mm Oerlikon cannon.

[@user-tj9sj8wz3s]

Loving the interview, but let the man talk! I understand there is a schedule to follow, but he has so much knowledge. He wants to share it with the world, interrupting him does no good.

[@kevinmorthorst521]

Finally an honest take on the Ukrainian conflict.

[@saulgood6909]

So I grew up with some kid in my neighborhood, last name devine. It was known his dad worked for the government. That all anyone knew. I'm sure this was my buddy's Dad. Michael and Richard Devine. Roswell Ga. I wonder.

[@user-gm7qs8ng8x]

[@Defaultonlineid]

Jack da Quack Devine who has been constantly trying to sell Ukraine was a winner and oh no U.S wasn't responsible for Norstream 2, 95% are good he's not an example a la Blinken

[@Havanasyndromev2k]

Currently a victim of v2k remote neural monitoring havana syndrome They claim they are going to frame and kill me literally 247 rf harassment

[@ridestolenbmx100]

I promise the government isn’t after you, at least in that way, they might be after you legally for taxes though haha Seriously tho, go see a doctor, tell them about the “rf harassment”. And listen to them, take the meds they prescribe. For someone with your symptoms, it’s extremely hard for most to accept it is most likely a mental illness and refuse treatment. Push through, and stay on the meds (if they give you some, at least attend your appointments.) I had a friend who swore v2k was happening to him, and the government was after him. We finally convinced him to get treatment. Not even 3 months later, he no longer thought anyone was after him, and thanked us profusely for helping end his torture It’s a few years later, and he’s still happy, living a productive life!

[@kevinmorthorst521]

Maybe you have it coming.

[@user-db5ts2yt6o]

Good luck.

[@MercuryCold]

You're pathetic

[@LRRPFco52]

When did it start?

[@trogdortpennypacker6160]

If you think about it Russia and China would be the allied powers as they were allied powers in WWII. Reality is US is now with the Axis powers: Germany, Japan, Romania, Finland, and Italy.

[@dbm212]

No lol

[@tkirkpat007]

My friend, sit in the chair properly. It's too distracting.

[@kevinmorthorst521]

Sounds like a YP.

[@nulblank4915]

It's a leather chair. You damn need a seat belt to stay in the slippery thing.

[@andreasmetzner2005]

Lumbar support, perhaps ,would be nice
