32 years as an Army interrogator. I worked with most intel agencies. The worst interrogators were from the CIA-by far. They lacked the basics of organizing an interrogation, building rapport, and basic questioning skills. My working theory is that the CIA systematized waterboarding because of their inability to conduct effective interrogations.

[@gerardmichaelburnsjr.]

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 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.

I think I'd make the WORSE CIA officer.

[@Deedz1924]

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.

[@rivergreen1727]

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.

[@pichisnoweasel7977]

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.

[@xsolidice]

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.

[@user-gn1ef8qd2i]

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.

[@steviewolfeofficial]

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.

[@jeepien]

Also, "agent" is a very different thing from "officer" in spook-speak.

[@Tech-NO-City]

Best case scenario he was a CIA mechanic lol

[@virginielekiwi]

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

[@gened9632]

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.
