This guy appear out of no where in the social media world and I got a feeling the agency put him out here to romanticize and humanize the agency.

[MP-ixjo]

The term "Industry Plant" comes to mind when I look at this guy.

[OwenhildebrandOin]

Everything about this guy is phony, transparent, and clearly doesnt feel emotion

[willthornsbury]

I mean being in the Air Force and calling yourself a Soldier, instead of an Airman is a prime example of how crappy you were. haha.

[erterttetert]

"You will never find an undercover peace corps officer" Yeah that's what the CIA wants us to think...

I have an uncle who was a missionary in southern Africa in the 1970s. While he was there the country linked up with Soviet Union. They arrested all the missionaries. My uncle, and others, did a year in prison. He continued to minister in Africa for roughly 40 years.

Why is a former US Air Force service member calling himself a “soldier” and not an airman? I thought only US Army called themselves soldiers. Something does not add up with this guy.

[moonpool]

This guy is destined to be an actor. Great character, pure BS

[ScottPalangi]

"...fix the mistake that they had found themselves in..." Brother, you know how to speak in a very special way. Looking forward to next years getaway.

[EJBanks]

he was a soldier in the air force. he was already infiltrating.

[Marc-tyiq]

lol, the closest this guy has ever been to the CIA was a Langley janitor buying a coffee off him.

[barcidstudios]

Am I the only one who gets this hunch that he is a psychopath?

[jesseperez]

Andrew Bustamante, you are still an asset, your mission is very clear. You cover has been compromised.

[trumppunisher]

IN terms of recruiting out of the jobs that he sited, its really more about the fact that CIA agents cannot be emotional about targets and burning assets. They need people who will do whatever it takes to protect the CIA.

[Piercetheveilnow]

CIA knows how to make a recruiting video 😂Brilliant.

[mikeschmidt]

I now believe all of the people he described as non agents are in fact all agents.

[acerock]

a friend of mine in college did a semester abroad and wanted to go to Bosnia but at the time the university would not let him so he went to Sofia Bulgaria and after that semester he traveled out of a backpack and found a job with the UN interviewing victims of the ethnic cleansing in Serbia and Bosnia and spent the summer doing that. As soon as he got off the plane he was pulled out of customs and taken to a room where someone from "the state department" debriefed him on what he was doing and why he was doing it, then he was approached by a CIA officer who wanted to recruit him.

[cliffstewart]

He’s definitely a con man but to what end I have no idea.

[ChuckBowie]

CIA went and bought thousands tents in Africa. Sales went through the roof / tent.

[giblet]

I hope you all realize that this guy going from podcast to podcast is basically just the CA trying a new recruitment process.

Good olde Psy-Op 2024!
