    10 assets killed in 85’ ? Was that because of that Navy traitor who sold out to Moscow?

    Three people guarantee that I click on the video the moment I see it; one I Jonna Mendez, and the other two are Erik Singer and Joe Navarro. We definitely need more of all three.

    I love her so much, and always enjoy her videos. So smart and so cool.

    I am so greatly intrigued by all of this information. But I have to wonder, what are her motives for being so open and forthcoming with this information?

    I just want to bring over a bottle of bourbon, sit down in a couple of comfortable chairs, and pick this woman’s brain for hours.

    I’m really annoyed that this woman completely failed to mention the HUGE part that Canada played in rescuing these diplomats, as well as in hiding them in the Canadian embassy for all that time. I’m annoyed, but I’m not in the least bit surprised, the movie Argo also portrays the Americans as being in charge of everything, and as being the rescuing force. I wonder why the major US news programs of the day all announced that the country owed the return of these 6 diplomats to Canada then? It’s public knowledge, why are you still lying about it? Canada, The True North, Strong And Free.

    These people are super intelligent, so why are they taking a job with such high risk for a gov’t salary? My guess is hubris but I honestly can’t understand it.

    She has a very unique way to tell stories. Its short, prezise, to the point but colorfull, detail oriented and entertaining. Her speaking is so focused. No hms, filling words, pauses.
    It would be interesting to hear her being someone else, talking as someone else.

  68. Sarah Mitchell

    I feel like some of these she couldn’t answer fully. There are probably so many things she worked on that still are ongoing with long term assets.

    I can vouch for the job listings. I’m a criminology major and my university has us refine our resumes and help us with internships within our majors to get a career started. Being in criminology a lot of agencies and police department jobs come up a lot, and “Special Agent” listings for both the CIA and FBI have popped up on multiple occasions for me. I don’t think I’m quite ready to apply but it they are interesting to look at.

    I would love to see an example of one of their full mask disguises. I have a really hard time imagining that it wouldn’t be totally clockable up close without a makeup artist, glue, and paint involved. That’s how she made it sound anyway, with being able to easily pull the mask off and then just look completely normal after that (besides maybe fixing your hair).

    she is a typical CIA agent – impudent and assertive, I think that the most successful agents are some kind of ridiculous outwardly people with a soft manner of speech

    If you’re curious, the Chinese spy balloon in recent events was triangulating radio signal data to locate communication centers in the US. Likely their goal is to destroy that communication ability if they were to ever make war on the US.

  89. Ryan Wagner

    April 7, 2023 at 6:25 pm

    I read the book she and her husband wrote, The Moscow Rules. One of the most engaging pieces of non-fiction I’ve ever read. So glad she’s back.

    Last year at my university SIS/MI6 came and talked to us for a bit at an arranged meeting, i’m studying Russian, so i guess it would be the place for them to look around, but I was surprised with how ‘normal’ they appeared and how casual the engagement was. They aren’t looking for James Bond as much as some tech nerd or language fanatic.

  96. Dale Miller

    Does the CIA carry .25 pistols or are they too underpowered?

    CIA is one of the most evil organizations in human history, responsible for supporting massive extermination programs across the planet and at fault for a great deal of the global instability in the current world. They do not protect “americans”, even if that was an excuse, they protect American corporations. Read the book “The Jakarta Method” by Vincent Bevins or “Killing Hope: Us Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II” By William Blum.

    • Louis Williamson

      April 8, 2023 at 8:00 pm

      Decades of psychological ops by these same three letter agencies have left the American mind so intellectually impoverished that they just believe everything fed to them by these “apolitical” actors in intelligence agencies. Which is a laughable distinction to say the least. They might not identify as D or R, but you better believe that the CIA is 100% invested in upholding American imperialist ventures.

  101. LunaLee

    Hoping to hear anything interesting and unclassified about CIA operations in China.

  110. BaronHelmut

    April 8, 2023 at 7:42 pm

    The last answer is sort of the most confusing but also the most logical answer. A: Ask yourself if youd send a spy (whos job is to communicate) into an active warzone. B: Ask yourself whether she would know the truth (as an ex CIA member), and whether shed tell you if she did. So it was the most confusing because it doesnt make sense for the CIA to have spies in Ukraine right now. But also the most logical, because thats what shed say either way (denying it wouldnt make sense, because it would be either telling the truth or would look even more suspicious).

    I love that some answers are like:

    “Have you seen Argo?”
    👵”Ahh yes, Ben Affleck played as my Husband, the protagonist”

    “There’s a cool position called Cheif of Disguise”
    👵”Ahh yes, I was Chief of Disguise for a few years”

  121. Ty Guy

    April 8, 2023 at 8:57 pm

    “it’s a firing offense if you sleep with your foreign asset”
    lol that statement is the CIA equivalent of cops spreading the idea that undercover officers legally have to tell you that they are cops when you ask.

    10:10 Such a high resolution film did not exist for the ordinary average Joe to get their hands on, by obvious reasons, but mostly since they didn’t have any need of it either. Even today I doubt there are ordinary film with that resolution. You could quite easy make film with even better resolution though today.

    ”Spies” don’t operate the intel themselves, they are basically human resources manager and coordinate informants who are the ones who put themselves at risk. This way the informant cannot really create a diplomatic situation.

    Concerning Argo, I find that funny there is no mention of the Canadian version of it… that movie is a joke, complete rewriting of what happened to put the CIA in light while irl Canadians are those who actually managed it.
    It’s the abc of western « sweet propaganda » if I can call it like that. Lol
    I would have liked a mention of that nuanced version tbh, but doesn’t matter. I can understand why there was not.

    A friend of mine would suddenly start talking about how he had this briefcase chained to his hand left hand. And then his service weapon was on the right side. So they were supposed to shake hands and say a code, and if the code was wrong … they should umm defend themselves. So you normally shake hands with the right hand. And he did. And then the other guy said the wrong code. But he kept holding his hand so he couldn’t get to his service weapon.

    Despite the fact that the 9/11 attack was far to coincidental to the point just before the plane hit the building, explosions had already occurred seconds before.

    When I think of espionage I think of stories like Mossad’s attempt to capture a Mig-21 and they had to kill I think it was three people before getting to someone who was willing to defect.

    Like they’d approach three people propose to them to defect and then kill them if they said no.

    I don’t think that is something unique to the Mossad and I would have loved to pin these tougher questions about moral conduct to people like Joana even though she would never answer them.

    Hold on. I think the state department has a larger issue with the idea that spies are using diplomatic cover because then diplomats can be treated as spies whether they are spying or not. I understand the security benefits of playing at being a diplomat but it undercuts the ability of diplomats to be exactly that. Noncombatant, protected diplomats can be accused of spying if there’s a precedent there.

    • Connie H

      April 12, 2023 at 11:42 pm

    The attractive question doesn’t make sense as everyone has a different type. To some, there’s super attractive people who others wouldn’t even look back at. You then have several things that grab attention that makes being attractive irrelevant such as a mole on someone’s skin, facial hair/hair, tattoos, bad skin, a smell, hair colour, body type. I can guarantee you don’t have to be attractive but if you’ve got a curvy larger figure, there’s going to be men out there who can remember your face 🤷🏼

    If we were able to have some kind of technology that was ancient and the people who should know all information doesn’t understand should be lease until they understand? Or should we wait for them to understand technology? This is really not a good spot for that not controlthat that is not easy control doesn’t make sense to me

    So basically, if they’re not find the ones that know these technologies, they could be spread to corporations and then spread to nations used by military means and then therefore that’s horrible

    She and her hubby were disguise techs. They weren’t ops officers they were techs. They are salt of the earth types like both her and her hubby. Who exaggerate their role in ops. They don’t have to get through operations (tradecraft) training at “The Farm”. They can’t meet as asset without a Case Officer except under extraordinary circumstances. They bathed in the reflection of their betters since Argo.

    Not the german spies using seduction on secretaries. It wasn’t fun probably, but sounds a tad bit funny. Although I do wonder. Were those swallows(?) adrenaline junkies, or were they using drugs? Or was seduction only meant platonically?

    1. Ever seen the BBC show Spooks. Its about UK Officers called ‘Spooks’. Very accurate too.

    2. Can spies have humour?

    3. Why don’t female spies wear catsuits or tracksuits like Emma Peel in 1960s Avengers?

    4. Was The Pinkerton Detective Agency of the Wild West a spy organisation?

    5. Does A.I. get used in Spy Agencies?
