CIA Operative Andrew Bustamante | PBD Podcast | Ep. 180

[@tj1470]

I love how Patrick makes a point of not asking the same questions as so many other interviewers. Out of all the podcasts Andrews been on, this has been the most different. Great job guys

[@ibbgolf]

Precisely. I fucking love PBD. I’m a nobody and don’t have much at 24. But man I have a desire to do something, soon. And PBD is one a few who truly inspires me. Andy is one also. Kobe. But there’s a opportunity for all. I work for a vending company now and getting interact daily with all types of people and in sales situation and in good and bad communication situations… and I have decided it’s molding me for my future. We all have greatness and so thankful for KZbin and for people applying themselves and being themselves so I have people to learn from and apply their strengths and weaknesses to my brain and use it as I see fit. Do our best, right? God bless.

When CIA guy becomes a professional podcast guest he is just in another phase of his career

[@tailwind12]

i retired after 25yrs serving our nation. i then worked or DoS and DoD in the middle east, iraq/afghanistan. i had my security clearance. i rand hot missions in Afghanistan. i was not "static" personnel. the 2-3 guys i knew well. i mean well from the "embassy" doing high level (HVT) work like andy claims to have done. 2 are now retired. so they are like 20yrs older than andy. both live overseas--friendly nations to the US. both of them would but a bullet in their own head before speaking so openly like andy does and others. he goes on an on: training, vetting, courses, agency mindset, agency policy, what they "look for", training policy's and on and on and "on". bustamante is not the only one. there are others actually much worse. shawn ryan show, team-house, julian dorey. i mean shawn ryan does this "man" cave with leather chair, bar and like it is a "one on one" talk with nobody else listening. but it is on YT. simply do not get it...every top "guy" feels like he has to spill his soul on YT for some reason. and no, just because you are not speaking about specfic, actual missions does not mean you are not "spilling" INTEL. i mean and they do this for hours and hours. then go to another podcast and hours and hours. never to shut up. simply do not understand it. they want to...and "good" for them.

By the way PBD. Former Company man here myself (2003-2014). There are no CIA “agents”.. it’s called officer. You have operations officers (OO) which are what civilians know as “spies”. Then you have collections management officers (CMO’s), they are the connection between the field OO’s and Langley. Both OO’s and CMO’s go to Camp Peary, the “Farm”. In every day life cmo’s tell the OO’s in the field what to collect intel on based on policy coming out of DC which is handed down by the Operations Directorate. I was recruited by a person, who was familiar with my background. A business connection. Had a great time, but it cost me a marriage.

@@brandonb5075 I kinda agree with you. I have a friend I served in the Army with who became a Federal Marshall and retired after 23 years. The non-disclosure type documents they have you sign going in and leaving, makes it very difficult for someone to go rogue and actually say things that people don't know. Everything this guy said is known, nothing new just reaffirming things and offering some fluff.

Private intelligence has gotta be one of the scariest things I can think of. Just imagine what they would go through to get contracts as well as it clunking up the flow of intelligence.

Agreed. I don’t think corporations should be directly involved in national security.

I can easily imagine them infliltrating the most public domain imaginable, such as YT podcast channels, under the guise of disengagement, for example. Speculating.

Totally agree. The discussion on privatizing the CIA (55:00) was brilliant. Great questions and superb answers!

I have seen many Bustamante's interviews and this is definitely the most interesting so far. I think is the highest profile of interviewers plays a nice role about it. Waiting for his new one in Shawn Ryans podcast on March 27th.

Pat, your commitment to the truth is so admirable. I definitely don’t agree with you on a lot of things, just the one thing that matters: let’s ge the truth. Thank you for your channel.

[@bradleyboyer9979]

This guy was very disappointing. It sounds like he's not even aware of what the FBI has been doing. It's common - someone works at a place and becomes emotionally unable to separate his feelings from facts.

[@squidwardo7074]

Can guarantee you off air he's talking so much shit about the CIA and the gov in general. Everybody in the government/military acts like that on camera

[@rigelb9025]

But in his case, his entire job was precisely to be able to separate those two, on-command. As well as trick people into letting him into their circle, 'ya know.

[@LghTsKnJames]

When I joined the navy, I received a random call from an agent and told to meet at a public library. After work I went and she had a private room already. We sat and talked and she had a binder with ALL my information in it. Including my father's info who I didn't know. She said we'll be in contact and I never heard from them again lol.

Your dad is an immigrant I bet lol Cause that's what I had to do and it was with lots of info but that interview had to happen because of that.

That was obnoxious

[@ericholdsworth6611]

Nice, expanding the mind while expanding the mind. I can't watch this stuff on it, it takes me personally to a very dark place. Only from personal shit in my life. I take myself back to the 70s when music wasn't fake and try to stay there for awhile. Parts of this podcast seemed like a recruiting video and PR campaign, but it was still good to see. You have a lot of work down under, your government really bullied you, far worse than here. Have you shot any of them yet? I would back that decision fully and would start a Goscrewme fundraiser. Sorry, Gofundme, as long as you think like me. 🍄👍

Malcolm Nance, the same dude who pretended he was operating in Ukraine, remember when he had his AK slung wrongly while broadcasting live on MSNBC, while saying his advice was being sought after in high level strategic meetings. Remember how he stayed for like two weeks before coming back lol.. Remember when he acted so immature debating Shapiro on Bill Maher that even the audience and Bill had to shut him down..Yeah I'm sure Patrick is terrified of such a high level intellectual.. 😂

@@colinkillian9265 The fact that you actually wrote "had his AK slung wrongly" automatically disqualified your perspective on what classifies one as a "high level intellectual". LOL! Let me recommend a thesaurus for you. And if you don't know what that is, refer to the dictionary.
