The Spy Whisperer - CIA Clandestine Officer Darrell M. Blocker

How do you train someone to spy? How do you collaborate with other countries on spy education and not lose your own secrets? How are these things consistently accomplished in a dangerously changing world front? Darrell M. Blocker, a 28-year veteran of the CIA’s clandestine service, explores these and other compelling questions and discusses the challenge he faced as chief of all clandestine service operations in sub-Saharan Africa. A recipient of the Distinguished Career Intelligence Medal, Blocker served as deputy director of the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center and chief of the Africa Division.

I love this guy "I listen to the people no one is listening to" genius

[@quantumfineartsandfossils2152]

@Rip VanWinkle yes as you know a lot of info is lost silencing proof if it comes from them we lose our ability to predict the future Wealthy people 'being victims' (many are not) & commodifying victimhood makes it worse The world is dramatically changing & many people are totally unprepared, for themselves, who they are, what their data says about them, not their unfounded covert or public opinions of others We have a mass epidemic of mental illness A legit system of literacy requiring more freedom not less will create a new order

[@quantumfineartsandfossils2152]

@Rip VanWinkle also as you know strategy is impossible without ethics this is as old as time Without ethics or strategy you are extinct & when you are extinct you cannot strategize or even consider that ethics is lacking Peter Railton proved Halpern wrong at Davos that empathy is as mechanistic as anything else ('empathy is as mechanistic as anything else' is mnhy statement but he basically said the same thing AI/robotics should be ethical = literacy) Halpern is catastrophically deluded when at Davos she said robotics & AI should not be empathetic at all, it sounds bad but she is unstable imo Railton is correct. Bradbury said he would trust a robot more than humans I also agree with him here. The internet as you know is like the street it is a virtual sphere of information science this being said physics understood properly sees that encryption has never existed nothing has ever been hidden it is just outside of our field off perception To engage with & close the classical qm divide a theory of mind that moves beyond the verbal into the reality that all conflict happens whenever anyone is too close or too far away or nonexistent (no one can work if abused at a distance or without a fair fight (Russia) has to continue to emerge passively & responsibly This will end war & prisons & allow anyone the freedom to live as they want The cult of Edward Snowden makes money off of stolen material & complains daily about their privacy while making money being entertainers "everything used to disappear be gone right like the morning dew" - Edward Snowden a Stimson not a yardley he doesn't know he is wrong about dew, we can help him live in total privacy with constantly disappearing data as he wishes His criminal friend Glenn Greenwald also can live in totally privacy with disappearing data on invisible computers that store nothing & hide everything. No need to punish anyone Then you & I & others can develop a system to lift others out of being disenfranchised with new resources & use the data to mutually improve each others theory of mind & more- because we are all disenfranchised, we ll have nothing to lose in our short lives we are all walking computational egalitarian bacteria robotic turds (essentially) ... so yes his point actually has a lot --to unpack, I've thought obsessively about his point since I heard it, he is a brilliant agent/analyst, yup. Lots of calabi yau in this agent

@Rip VanWinkle religion & atheism dont need to be at war anyone who thinks so doesn't understand god or science I dont trust people who think one needs to oust the other The internet is just a sophisticated brain How long do you think you will live with no memory If your enemy deletes your memory what do you do? If god didnt create the internet then who did Please answer these questions if you legitimately are a Christian

[@quantumfineartsandfossils2152]

@Rip VanWinkle no there is always a copy.. otherwise abusers have no one to abuse or data to abuse... they will even keep it around just to abuse you that is what is so banal about untreated mental illnesses that make people abusive but I will seriously consider what you say about writing sci fi ;P Some of us could have written & are writing the greatest sci fi book ever conceived but it is no guarantee even one person will read it sorry to say ... But if things get smarter & smarter & agents come out of the woodwork & interaction happens at scale then art is surely to be produced & lately im creating a lot of art only empiricists can create art because art is not probabilistic but unlike human narratives it creates a real topology and the topology is empirical it can be accessed probabilistically How can you guarantee a book wont be deleted There is no deletion there is retrocausality the Lazarus the resurrection of data eliminates the book to tell the story of the trees Do you know the story of the trees? Are trees deletable? Trees are not simulated if they were they would live forever Maybe the story of the trees is more important than the stories in books carbon dated resurrected as trees (Crispr)

You know, if you just stop being emotional, and get cerebral, you'll realize that these intelligence agencies are absolutely vital to keeping our country and culture intact.

@Rip VanWinkle Jesus modeled a way of living for the less civilized and those 'rules' first and foremost recognize the magnificence of the creator, who revealed his name as Allah to the prophet Muhammad. Furthermore belief is infantile when you have actual knowledge. And when Jesus prayed to 'God', he actually used the word Allah, even though the Quran would not be revealed until 600 yrs later!

[@originalandrewmark]

@Rip VanWinkle Seems like you have a bit of smote in thy eye, so your powers of perception are inhibited, duly noted. Mr Van Winkle, funny you should mention Satan as if he's second or third party, but the Quran plainly states that Satan is when evil has become unrestrained and exceeded it's limitations. Adding that Iblees is Satan kept restrained within one own physical being. Further, Iblies is within ALL men. Ponder that for a bit .

[@C17HNO]

I think for the most part even with the few failed operations and unnecessary killings, it has mostly been positive. The big kink in the armor recently is that in the past couple decades they turned it from a purely security agency to a finance machine that creates and sustains war instead of ending them like it was originally designed. And the American People are catching on!!! We don't need to get rid of all of these well established agencies, but for the sake of citizens and the agencies themselves, we need better checks and balances and to end war with the right leaders. It seems most wars were natural, WWII ends, CIA formed, CIA does great job at conquering the world, then CIA starts creating man-made wars for profit while condemning citizens. That's where we have the problem. We worked everything out, and then it just took a sharp left corrupt turn. Not good because they should have already cleaned up old mess before attempting this strategy. This will end the entire world eventually. They should spend the next 20 years to actively destroy all weapons and diagrams for weapons above 155 mm. And then just manage the finances and technology fairly. Don't know how you get other countries to cooperate though. But I know we have a lot of people employed in even the most unlikely areas as well. The Brazilian military at one point were mostly all informants for the CIA. We should use these somehow to clean up the world, but it definitely isn't easy. Not the CIA fault for a few corrupt individuals over the years as well. It's a hierarchy problem. Honestly the advanced weapons aren't even that bad because most people don't use them, if they would just stop f*cking us financially and find a new way to make money that doesn't hurt everyone, that would be best.

I am so disappointed with Mr Darrell M Blocker for having lived in Uganda yet again never highlighted the grievance in Uganda. The Junta called Museveni who has been in power for the last 35 years working with the dictators of North Korea and China making deadly ammunitions in Nakasongola and this issue was never talked about. #Nomore, #Weareremovingadictator,

The Place That Must Not Be Named is presumably the Farm in Williamsburg, Virginia. The CIA is one body that genuinely can benefit from diversity. It makes it harder for the opposition to identify agents. They can't just look for tall, straight, white Christian males any more. (Virginia Hall gave the Germans a lot of trouble, but she was unusual at the time.) His trust in the CDC and worse, the WHO is alarming.

[@deanburney]

Diversity of look such as ethnicity is no problem. Diversity of thinking is more difficult to obtain.

[@stevenl4494]

Yes diversity is a good thing. But it's not the diversity it really needs.....and sorley lacks. Dean is alluding to it strongly.

[@lulumoon6942]

It's useful for the public to continue to believe they're not diverse.

I was senate finance chairs nephew my first 33 ...get it ? So I was recruited by Capt FM Wildman at 12 in church he threw a preflight in my lap before i could drive... he was dean to the 911 terrorists at Embry Riddle Aeronautic.. Had the house on top of Arrowhead. His son grad AF academy rolled down the switchbacks drunk... only son. The last time I saw him he was on dialysis and asked if I was there to rob him. James Bond with alzheimers.... I never went back.. died young at 92...

[@dinglelawrence8890]

WOW, I can’t get pass the whole concept of finding out who we are, so that we can do what? Learning about the past is not a fix for it, but doing something different changes it! Garvey wanted to leave, but it seems this new age just wanna say “bump” it, who cares? “If” that is the sentiment, why did you ever fight back to start with! Why kill king, why Malcolm, Mandela, and the boot strap, why the underground, and a host of dead BLACK people? So we can confirm and fit? Knowing who we are is torture if we can not turn away from what we have become, disgrace? Copyrights by TELawrence (all rights reserved) We survived Slavery, we did not start it! So who answers as the Aggressor? Not me, not us, not African Americans!

I hope to live long enough to see my five year old grand daughter know that grandpa listens. While am at it, I will ask the woman I have been married to the same question.

Fealty and loyalty while regarding the citizen first, sometimes is a difficult prospect when confronted with consequences only visible with a privilege. Sometimes this information is compelling. I hope that our officers remember 'support and defend..' with a reverance for our citizens and our principles.
