It was November 22, 1963, when the President of the United States, John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Traumatized by the event, many people never questioned the incident. Since then we have been analyzing the shooting, questioning the official story and blaming the CIA for orchestrating the assassination. But is there enough evidence?Who had motive? Who may have been involved? Was the arrested shooter the lone gunman? These questions have been surfacing ever since, leading the CIA to coin the term "conspiracy theory".

Master the secret tactics spies use to win trust and uncover the truth. In this gripping episode, Jeremy Hurewitz, corporate intelligence expert and author of "Sell Like a Spy," reveals the secret persuasion tactics used by the CIA, FBI, and elite intelligence officers. Hurewitz draws on his years of experience working alongside former CIA case officers, FBI negotiators, and counterintelligence experts to share powerful strategies for winning trust, gathering intelligence, and persuading anyone — even when they don't want to share. From the art of elicitation and radical empathy to mastering deception detection and reading people like a book, this episode is packed with real-world spycraft secrets you can use in sales, negotiations, and everyday interactions. Hurewitz also shares jaw-dropping stories of espionage, including how intelligence agents use access agents and covert techniques to gain crucial information. How spies turn targets into traitors — and how you can ethically turn leads into loyal customers. The secret to asking questions that reveal everything without raising suspicion. Why detecting deception is about recognizing red flags — and how to spot them. How to use intelligence techniques to build trust and influence anyone. If you've ever wanted to know how spies get people to reveal their deepest secrets, this episode will show you how to apply the same tactics in your life. ⁠Jeremy Hurewitz⁠ ⁠Buy the Book Sell Like a Spy: The Art of Persuasion from the World of Espionage ⁠

The red flowered plant that shows up everywhere at this time of year–I saw a forest of them in Wegman's this morning– is called in Mexico the cuetlaxochitl, or the noche buena; but Americans know it by as the namesake of man who introduced it to the United States: poinsettia. Yet Joel Roberts Poinsett was a more interesting organism than that plant given his name. He was a South Carolinian who spent years away from the state, and was a committed nationalist and anti-nullifier; a world traveller when few Americans were; a slaveowner who other slaveowners regarded as potentially anti-slavery; an international investor who also labored for South Carolina local improvements; a diplomat who spent years if not decades trying to find a way to be a soldier. And that's leaving a few facets of his identity out. As my guest Lindsay Schackenbach Regele sums him up, “He was not the same, anywhere.”Lindsay Schakenbach Regele is with me to discuss Joel Poinsett, his era, and what he reveals about it.

The journey to becoming a published author is rarely a straight line, but few paths have been as globally adventurous, or involved a greater number of pachyderms and famous spies, as that of Vaseem Khan.From his decade living in India to his new role continuing the legacy of James Bond's very own gadget master, Q, here are the key takeaways and inspiration points from a writer who proves that persistence truly is the only non-negotiable trait in this business.100 Rejections and the Power of Persistence.Vaseem's story is a powerful reminder that rejection is not destiny, it's just part of the process.After being encouraged by an English teacher in school, he wrote his first novel, a comic fantasy, at the age of 17. The response? A swift, harsh rejection. This was followed by a staggering two decades of writing and seven more rejected novels across various genres.* A Brutal Education: Over that period, Vaseem collected over a hundred rejection letters, describing the feeling as “like being kicked in the bollocks repeatedly every few years.”* The Commitment to the Dream: What kept him going was the fundamental love for books and the idea of being a writer. He believes those who last the course never give up on that core dream.* The Breakthrough Moment: His career finally launched at age 40 when he tapped into his personal experience: his 10 years living in India. He wrote The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra - a crime novel set in modern Mumbai featuring a serious policeman who inherits a baby elephant. His editor loved it precisely because it was “completely different to anything we'd seen in the crime fiction market.”Vaseem's Advice on Finding Your Voice: You have to write what you know, or at least, what you are uniquely positioned to write. The trick is to do something “completely different, but the same, take an established genre, stick to its core beats, but tweak the formula just enough to offer a unique perspective.”Commissioned by Ian Fleming: The Q Mystery Series.Perhaps the most exciting new development in Vaseem's career is his commission by the Ian Fleming Estate to continue the story of James Bond's gadget master, Q.The request was clear: they did not want another straight spy novel.* The Perfect Pitch: The Estate asked for “something halfway between Mick Herren's Slow Horses and Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club.“* The Premise: In the first book, Quantum of Menace, Q is booted out of MI6 at age 50. He returns to his small hometown, having left a “messy past behind,” to reinvestigate the mysterious death of a childhood friend. The hope is that he will evolve into an amateur detective, solving mysteries in this small-town setting.* The 007 Cameo: For Bond fans, Vaseem confirmed that he's included plenty of Easter eggs, and Commander James Bond “does make a meaningful appearance in the second half of the book.”The Single Most Important Piece of Writing AdviceWhen asked for the one crucial tip he gives in his workshops, Vaseem didn't hesitate:“The number one reason that books are rejected by agents is because the quality of the book does not meet their minimum standard for them to be able to have confidence sending it out to a publisher.”His concrete advice is to focus on craft before submission:* Understand Your Genre: Know the standards for prose, plotting, and characterization required for your specific genre (e.g., crime fiction needs a strong hook and right ‘beats' over literary prose).* Get Quality Feedback: You must get feedback. Don't rely solely on friends; consider paying an experienced, trusted editor who has a proven history in the industry.* Don't Ruin the Hook: You normally only get one good chance with a brilliant idea. Bad execution will ruin your chance with an agent, forcing you to write something else. Make the best possible fist of your manuscript before you send it in.Vaseem's interview was a masterclass in commitment, creativity, and the power of finding that one unique idea that can change everything. You can find his books, including his new Q novel, on his website and at all major bookstores.Catch the full interview with Vaseem Khan on our YouTube channel: This is a public episode.

Since the founding of America's first centralized modern intelligence agency during World War II, today's guest Anthony Vinci says that current agencies have undergone several revolutions in how espionage was done. But Vinci says we're in the midst of a fourth revolution, changing the rules of espionage for nations and non-state actors alike.In this episode of From the Crows' Nest, host Ken Miller is joined by Vinci, a former intelligence officer and author of “The Fourth Intelligence Revolution: The Future of Espionage and the Battle to Save America.” Vinci says new asymmetric approaches to espionage combined with emerging technology has democratized intelligence, putting civilians at risk and threatening to leave America's agencies at a disadvantage if they don't adapt.To learn more about today's topics or to stay updated on EMSO and EW developments, visit our homepage.

Hawaiʻi County Council Member Ashley Kierkiewicz discusses proposed changes to the island's affordable housing rules; Author Christine Kuehn grapples with her family's work as spies for the Nazis in Hawaiʻi in her new book

Israel's spy agencies are the stuff of legend. From domestic intelligence gathering to rooting out terrorism in its own backyard, to disrupting and dismantling Iranian-backed terrorist armies entrenched in neighboring Arab states, Israel has led the world in both covert and overt operations. One leader of its foreign intelligence agencies, the Mossad, had the foresight to see how gathering intelligence and using it to act quickly could benefit not only Israel but also its allies and, at times, its adversaries, and could be a political tool used to forge peace. His name was Meir Dagan. Not only did his leadership provide Israel and allies like the United States with the means to stop conflict, but his work and ideas also helped reshape how the world gathers and uses intelligence. His story is just now being made known. Samuel Katz, a New York Times bestselling author, joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to discuss the Mossad's incredible history and his new book, a biography of Meir Dagan titled 'The Architect of Espionage'.

Lokhova examines Soviet operatives Stanislav Shamovski and Gennady Ovakimian, who directed the espionage network stealing atomic weapons secrets. Ovakimian, a credentialed scientist, deliberately integrated himself into the American scientific community through published academic research and conference participation. His agents, including Shamovski, systematically recruited scientists and engineers from universities and government research institutes, who then reported operational intelligence up the chain through Ovakimian to Moscow Center. 1921

Kyle Hanslovan is an award‑winning cyberwarfare expert, co‑founder of Huntress Labs, and a former NSA hacker whose real missions blur the line between espionage and war. In this eye‑opening episode, Kyle reveals the unfiltered truth about life inside America's most secretive spy agency — from being recruited at 17 to spearheading offensive hacking campaigns.In our first instalment, Hanslovan recounts clandestine operations where writing “software that kills” meant a bomb was the uninstaller. He explains how Wi‑Fi signals can map human bodies through walls and why $500 drones could soon be used for assassinations.From NSA tradecraft, AI war games, and DARPA's Cyber Grand Challenge to the emotional weight of counter‑terrorism and the ethics of intelligence after Snowden, Kyle pulls no punches. He compares NSA, CIA, FBI, and DEA missions, shares why he still calls the NSA the most ethical place he ever worked, and warns that private contractors like Palantir are iterating faster than the law can keep up.Support Kyle: https://www.kylehanslovan.comFollow Kyle: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylehanslovan/Support Huntress: https://www.huntress.com/

Governments and special offices within governments have understood the value of recruiting celebrities to carry their message.  From actors, musicians, sports stars, authors etc. they understand the emotional connection between the audience and the created fantasy of the celebrity. The question is, do we fully understand how deep it goes, how long it's been going on, what the agenda is and why it's effective even today?  Let's look into celebrity C.I.A. agents and arm ourselves against this onslaught of lies, deceit and manipulation from those who promise to work for our benefit.

Ex-FBI sniper Christopher Whitcomb survived warlords, black ops, and helicopter crashes. He's here to explain how calculating risk kept him alive. [Pt. 2/2]Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1243What We Discuss with Christopher Whitcomb:Guantanamo Bay exposed the systematic breakdown between official policy and reality. Christopher Whitcomb witnessed 13-year-olds detained 12,000 miles from home while interrogators chanted "Fair, firm and impartial" over prisoners' screams. The same general later oversaw Abu Ghraib's abuses.East Timor combined apocalyptic violence with staggering natural wealth. Indonesia massacred up to 300,000 people during the island's secession, yet oil bubbled from the ground and natural gas ignited hillsides, creating a Wild West economy that attracted contractors seeking manageable chaos.Intelligence work often pays in ways that complicate normal life. Christopher earned contracting money through intelligence agencies that was "hard to spend sometimes," revealing the strange economics of covert operations.Elite operators face profound psychological costs. Christopher's friend warned him to "stop trying to get 14-year-old guys to kill you because you have some death fantasy," highlighting how repeated high-stakes missions create patterns of self-destructive behavior that operators must eventually confront.Recognition of dysfunction is the first step toward meaningful change. By acknowledging his own "insanity" and identity crisis, Christopher demonstrates that even those in extreme professions can develop self-awareness and begin questioning the systems they served.

Ex-FBI sniper Christopher Whitcomb survived warlords, black ops, and helicopter crashes. He's here to explain how calculating risk kept him alive. [Pt. 1/2]Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1242What We Discuss with Christopher Whitcomb:Risk calculation becomes second nature in high-stakes environments. Christopher Whitcomb describes constant mental math in life-threatening situations, assessing odds, escape routes, and survival probabilities while meeting warlords or navigating hostile territories.The psychological toll of extreme operations is cumulative and often invisible. Years of black ops, moral ambiguity, and life-threatening missions create layers of trauma that don't announce themselves until something breaks, making the "finding himself again" journey essential.Helicopters are surprisingly resilient war machines. Contrary to Hollywood's explosive fantasies, Vietnam proved these birds can take serious damage and stay airborne. When power does fail, auto-rotation uses blade inertia to control descent, turning disaster into survivable physics.Adrenaline addiction isn't about having too much adrenaline. Christopher Whitcomb explains he wasn't addicted because he didn't have it; his body adapted to extreme situations by no longer producing the chemical response most people experience, revealing how repeated exposure rewires our biology.Understanding the physics of consequence helps you push boundaries without crossing them. Whether rock climbing, tactical operations, or any high-risk endeavor, calculating limits lets you explore your edge safely.
