PTSD isn't always born in a firefight or a resuscitation bay. Sometimes it grows quietly while you sit at a computer, doing your job well, watching the worst parts of humanity play out on screen. We sit down with Dr John Tullius, a former CIA officer and current professor at the Naval Postgraduate School, to talk about post-traumatic stress disorder, vicarious trauma, and the unique toll of open source intelligence in the social media era.John shares what changed in his work with the CIA after 9/11, how analysts shifted from newspapers and radio to high-volume internet monitoring, and why repeated exposure to torture and killing can be one of the most pernicious pathways to PTSD. We dig into the cultural and organisational barriers that keep people silent, then unpack a surprisingly effective intervention: a psychologist who designed group sessions for safety and anonymity and ultimately got most staff to seek help. If you lead teams in intelligence, law enforcement, military units, or first responder organisations, you'll take away concrete ideas you can apply.We also connect it to healthcare worker PTSD and burnout, including what it feels like when a difficult patient story or a child's death triggers a body-level stress response. We talk screening, prevention, and why “I'm fine” can hide a lot, plus the uncomfortable truth that alcohol often becomes the go-to numbing strategy in high stress professions.

Former CIA officers Andrew Bustamante and Sarah Adams grade the biggest conspiracy theories with Patrick Bet-David, labeling JFK, MK Ultra, Havana Syndrome, the moon landing, and Hitler's escape to Argentina as real, psyop, or coverup. From "nobody was keeping assassinations in check" to firsthand accounts of Havana Syndrome victims, the answers reveal what insiders actually believe versus what they can prove.
Former CIA officers Andrew Bustamante and Sarah Adams tell Patrick Bet-David the uncomfortable truth: Americans have no right to privacy, and with Flock cameras scanning 20 billion license plates a month, the surveillance state is already here. From Google selling your data to the government to why a crisis is all it takes for people to accept being watched, this is the debate nobody in the room agreed on.
Former CIA officers Andrew Bustamante and Sarah Adams tell Patrick Bet-David why no truth serum exists, and what MK Ultra was actually trying to create. Then PBD raises the stakes: what happens if a 100% accurate lie detector hits the market? Their answer reveals why the people trained to keep secrets believe secrets are the only thing holding society together.
Former CIA officers Andrew Bustamante and Sarah Adams go head-to-head with Patrick Bet-David in a heated debate over America's biggest threats, from China and Israel to Iran, terrorism, AI, and surveillance. With two intelligence insiders offering completely different perspectives, you decide who makes the stronger case.
Former CIA officers Andrew Bustamante and Sarah Adams join Patrick Bet-David for one of the most intense intelligence debates yet. They clash over China, Israel, Iran, terrorism, AI, surveillance, propaganda, JFK, Havana Syndrome, and the future of America. Two insiders. Two completely different worldviews. Decide for yourself who makes the stronger case.-------
AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghan reports ex-CIA chief John Brennan is taking the Trump administration to court.
The West's naivete towards Putin in the 2000s cost us dearly. Now Russia's tyrant – a creature of the KGB/FSB who has returned his country to its roots as a repressive intelligence state – is attacking us with unprecedented ferocity and deviousness. Sean Wiswesser, ex-CIA station chief in the former Soviet Union, says the “reckless” activity of FSB and GRU agents has reached new heights. But can they be stopped – and can we win the intelligence war? He tells Andrew Harrison how intelligence and dirty tricks are inextricable from Putin's power; how the old skills of “tradecraft” persist alongside new digital tactics; and what really makes Russian intelligence tick. • Buy Sean's book Tradecraft, Tactics, and Dirty Tricks: Russian Intelligence and Putin's Secret War from our affiliate bookshop and you'll help fund the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

Former CIA officer John Kiriakou joins The Jeff Dornik Show for a blunt conversation about the intelligence agencies, Israel, Epstein, Gaza, Kash Patel, Trump, censorship and the bipartisan swamp that somehow keeps failing upward like it has a government pension. This episode cuts through the personality wars and asks the bigger question: who is actually accountable when the agencies, politicians and foreign interests operate above the American people? As the Bible warns, “nothing is covered that will not be revealed” (Luke 12:2).

Patrick Bet-David confronts Ex-CIA officer and whistleblower John Kiriakou after John called him a "hardcore Zionist."From John's bombshell prediction of the U.S. strike on Iran days before it happened, to why Obama weaponized the Espionage Act against his own intelligence officers, to the deep state cover-ups John witnessed from the inside, to his face-to-face moment with Trump at Mar-a-Lago begging for a pardon, this conversation pulls back the curtain on everything the government doesn't want you to know. Missing scientists, FISA surveillance, John Brennan's alleged soft coup, and a $780,000 pension stolen by the very people John was trying to protect, nothing is off limits.------Ⓜ️ MINNECT WITH JOHN KIRIAKOU: https://bit.ly/44EhwQL

Are you wondering if telepathy is real, and if it can be scientifically tested (not just believed)? What if you could join a global experiment and start training your own "first-impression" signal today? Michael sits down with Dr. Dean Radin (Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, author and consciousness researcher) to explore the cutting edge of telepathy research, remote viewing, and measurable mind-to-mind connection, including a global, smartphone-based study that lets thousands of people participate in real time. This isn't about "spooky stories" or blind faith. This is about discernment + data, and learning to recognize the quiet signal beneath the mental noise. Key Topics The Global Telepathy Study: what's being measured, and why large-scale participation matters. Why skeptics often need a personal experience, and how research can still guide the way. Dr. Radin's work connected to the CIA-era Stargate program and what "remote viewing" actually is. The core training principle: separating the first impression from the mind's story-making machine. Talent vs. training: how practice and feedback can improve results (up to your natural ceiling). Why "displacement" happens (getting the right information, just slightly off in time). Moon phases, geomagnetic activity, and "background noise": what may help or hinder intuitive perception The Global Consciousness Project and what random-number generators appear to show during major world events. GCP2's shift toward quantum-noise measurement, and the search for mechanism (coherence). Mind–matter interaction: what decades of RNG and intention studies suggest (and what remains unknown). This episode is a must-listen if you're searching "Dean Radin telepathy," "telepathy scientific proof," "ESP training," "remote viewing," "Global Consciousness Project," or "Institute of Noetic Sciences." It bridges science and spirit without pretending all the questions are solved, and gives you a grounded framework for testing, practicing, and improving your own intuitive signal.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this powerful episode, Tom sits down with former CIA covert operative Andrew Bustamante to pull back the curtain on the turbulent state of global affairs. With the Iranian war in full swing and military strategies playing out in real time, Andrew gives listeners an insider's perspective on what's really happening behind government narratives, intelligence reports, and international influence campaigns. Together, Tom Bilyeu and Andrew Bustamante dissect the headlines—from conflicting stories about Iran's nuclear ambitions to the real motivations behind recent US military actions in Iran and Venezuela. Andrew explains how threat assessments are compiled within intelligence agencies, reveals why classified and public narratives often diverge, and offers a candid take on the legacy politics at play in the current administration. But the conversation doesn't stop at geopolitics. The two dive into the evolving role of artificial intelligence in modern warfare and intelligence gathering, discuss the ethical and strategic dilemmas posed by autonomous weapons, and examine the shifting alliances that could define the future balance of power between the US, China, Russia, and the rest of the world. If you're looking to understand the forces shaping global conflict today—and what might be coming next—you won't want to miss this episode. Stay tuned as Tom and Andrew bring clarity to chaos and lay out the possible paths forward in this era of uncertainty. What's up, everybody? It's Tom Bilyeu here: If you want my help...

John Kiriakou, from a decorated high-ranking CIA counter-terrorism chief who led the 2002 capture of al-Qaeda's Abu Zubaydah, to a federal inmate, John Kiriakou's life is a masterclass in the high cost of speaking truth to power. In 2007, he became the first CIA official to publicly confirm the agency's use of waterboarding, explicitly calling it torture—an act of whistleblowing that eventually led to him being the only person imprisoned in connection with the torture program. After serving 23 months, he reinvented himself as a sharp-witted author and commentator, hosting the Deep Focus podcast and penning books like The Reluctant Spy, and the gritty survival manual Doing Time Like a Spy, effectively using his intelligence background to critique the very systems he once served.JOHN KIRIAKOUWebsite: https://johnkiriakou.com/X: https://x.com/JohnKiriakouIG: https://www.instagram.com/realjohnkiriakou Deep Focus Podcast (YouTube): https://www.youtube.com/@DeepFocuswithJohnKiriakouDeProgram Podcast (YouTube): https://www.youtube.com/@DeProgramShowDead Drop Podcast (iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/john-kiriakous-dead-drop/id1844905790Substack: https://johnkiriakou.substack.com/subscribeTHE RIPPLE EFFECT PODCAST:WEBSITE: http://TheRippleEffectPodcast.comWebsite Host & Video Distributor: https://ContentSafe.co/SUPPORT:PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/TheRippleEffectPodcastPayPal: https://www.PayPal.com/paypalme/RvTheory6VENMO: https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3625073915201071418&created=1663262894MERCH: Store: http://www.TheRippleEffectPodcastMerch.comTHEORY 6 MUSIC: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1w91xRlB4b2MJYyXXhJcyFSPONSORS:OPUS A.I.

When a former CIA officer and the ex-Chief of MI6 agree something is coming — pay attention. This week, Sir Richard Dearlove, former Chief of MI6, and guest co-host Baroness Ayesha Hazarika are joined by Mike Baker, a former CIA covert operations officer with nearly two decades running intelligence operations in the world's most hostile environments. Together, they give an unvarnished assessment of the three crises dominating global affairs right now: whether US military action against Iran is imminent and what it would actually target; why Putin has little incentive to end the war in Ukraine and what could change his calculus; and why Cuba, just 90 miles from Florida, may be closer to collapse than anyone is reporting. Hosted by Sir Richard Dearlove (former MI6 Chief) and guest co-host Baroness Ayesha Hazarika (House of Lords). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Former CIA officer John Kiriakou reveals what's really happening behind the scenes in America — and why most people have no idea. John was the first CIA officer to publicly confirm that the agency used waterboarding, and he went to prison for it. Now he's exposing the surveillance state, government overreach, and the erosion of civil liberties that affects every American homeowner and taxpayer. In this episode: The intelligence operations you're not supposed to know about How government agencies are quietly expanding their power What the average American can do to protect themselves Why speaking truth to power cost him everything — and why he'd do it again
020326 SHORT 18 MIN When This EX CIA Talks About Epstein & Some DIsinformation That is SPUN! by Kate Dalley
A talk with former CIA officer Kent Clizbe about his exposure of Wayne Simmons, a man who spent more than a decade on Fox News posing as a CIA counterterrorism expert—but who was a fraud and serial liar. And we talk about how that case mirrors the case of Chase Hughes, who claims to know advanced, top-secret techniques and intelligence, and who has gained many fans, but who is a clear fraud. Topics discussed: how Kent met Wayne Simmons; why he suspected rather quickly he was a fake; how Kent's intuition about Wayne relates to Kent's system of holistic contextual analysis, which Kent has a book about; and the negative impacts on Kent's life from questioning Wayne Simmons. We dig into the psychology of belief, the social and career incentives that keep scams alive, and why fans and followers resist evidence even after it's laid out clearly.

In the explosive second half of this Impact Theory episode, Tom Bilyeu and Andrew Bustamante pivot from conspiracy analysis to the deep machinery of intelligence, national security, and the global chess game playing out between the U.S., China, Israel, and beyond. Andrew Bustamante pulls from firsthand experience and research to illuminate how bad actors—like Epstein—become valuable informants, why the public likely won't see full transparency, and what really drives international influence campaigns. This section dives into distinctions between Israel and Judaism, the roots of community-based success, and the dark cycles of scapegoating in moments of collective anxiety. Then, turning toward global affairs, the episode exposes the real stakes behind U.S. military posturing in Venezuela, peeling back the red herring narrative to reveal a shadow war with China over control of technological supply chains and rare earth minerals. Finally, Andrew Bustamante maps out the future of Chinese/Taiwanese relations, the economic and military brinkmanship between superpowers, and America's own risk of economic meltdown—with practical warnings for listeners about the pressing need to understand and adapt.
