When career intelligence professionals break their silence to warn about threats to democracy, we should all pay attention. Steven A. Cash, Executive Director of The Steady State and former CIA operations officer, prosecutor, and senior congressional advisor, shares insights that will send chills down your spine.Cash reveals how the intelligence community operates on a fundamental assumption rarely questioned until now: that leaders at all levels, including the president, agree America should be a constitutional democracy. That assumption is being shattered in ways that remind these professionals of authoritarian takeovers they've witnessed abroad.Throughout our conversation, Cash explains why over 280 former national security officials from across the political spectrum have united to sound the alarm. "Most of our careers have been spent focusing on Trump equivalents in various countries overseas," he notes. "We've seen this play before, and we know how it ends."The warnings are specific and concerning: politicization of intelligence, intimidation of officials, pardons that encourage violence, and the cultivation of paramilitary support. While these tactics mirror what Cash and his colleagues have observed in places like Hungary and Russia, America's guardrails weren't designed to withstand them.Despite the gravity of these warnings, Cash offers perspective and resilience. He believes in American institutions and the integrity of those serving within them. The challenge lies in educating citizens about how their government operates and finding common ground beyond partisan divides to preserve what Cash calls "post-partisan" values of constitutional democracy.This conversation is essential listening for anyone concerned about America's future. The steady professionals who've spent decades protecting our national security are speaking up – their message deserves our attention.Support the showThe Jack Hopkins Now Newsletter https://wwwJackHopkinsNow.com

„Wir gaben der Ukraine genug Waffen, um zu bluten, nicht um zu gewinnen“ – so lautet die Überschrift eines aktuellen Artikels der britischen Zeitung The Sunday Times. In dem Beitrag kommt der ehemalige CIA-Einsatzleiter für Europa und Eurasien zu Wort. Seine Aussage ist weder spektakulär noch ein Geheimnis. Sie untermauert aber einmal mehr, wasWeiterlesen

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:  First, a veteran CIA station chief just offered some harsh criticism for the former Biden administration regarding the war in Ukraine, saying the former president sorely miscalculated with Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, giving Kyiv enough weapons to “bleed” but not to win. The result, he says, was condemning Ukraine to fighting a drawn out, meat grinder war with no end in sight. Later in the show—Israel is taking the gloves off with the Iranian-back Houthis, unleashing a second wave of airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen on Tuesday, including a strike on the country's main airport. The latest actions are a direct retaliation for Sunday's missile strike on Tel Aviv's international airport by the Houthis, which injured several people.

Spycraft utilizes psychology more than gadgets. Ex-CIA officer Andrew Bustamante reveals the human side of intelligence gathering and deception. [Pt. 2/2 — find Pt. 1 here!] What We Discuss with Andrew Bustamante: The psychology of espionage and the process of recruiting assets, with an emphasis on the importance of building relationships and trust. The CIA uses a process called SADRAT (Spot, Assess, Develop, Recruit, Handle, and Terminate) to develop intelligence sources, which is similar to sales techniques and relationship building. The concept of public, private, and secret lives, highlighting how understanding and accessing someone's secret life is crucial for intelligence work. The strengths and operational styles of the CIA, Russia's SVR, Israel's Mossad, and China's MSS. Anxiety, often viewed negatively in society, can be a valuable asset in intelligence work and other high-performance fields. By reframing anxiety as a potential superpower, individuals can harness its benefits to drive success in their personal and professional lives.

Spycraft utilizes psychology more than gadgets. Ex-CIA officer Andrew Bustamante reveals the human side of intelligence gathering and deception. [Pt. 1/2] What We Discuss with Andrew Bustamante: After becoming the youngest US Air Force Officer in history to command 200 nuclear ICBMs from an underground bunker and spending seven years in the CIA, Everyday Spy founder Andrew Bustamante gives us an inside look into the recruitment and training process for CIA officers. The CIA uses personality assessments and carefully constructed team dynamics to build high-performance teams, often pairing people who may not naturally get along to create productive conflict. Lie detection through visual cues like micro-expressions is largely ineffective outside of controlled interrogation settings. More reliable methods involve establishing baselines and asking specific types of questions. Effective lying requires preplanning and rehearsal to align the rational and emotional parts of the brain. Spontaneous lying is much riskier and easier to detect. Understanding the RICE framework (Reward, Ideology, Coercion, Ego) can help you better motivate yourself and others in positive ways. This powerful tool for influencing behavior ethically will be explored further in part two later this week. And much more — be sure to check out part two of this conversation later this week!

This week, One Decision's Christina Ruffini sits down with former CIA director and former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta to discuss legendary Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward's upcoming book, War, and the book's revelations about the rocky relationship between President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, along with former President Donald Trump's ongoing calls with Russia's leader Vladimir Putin. Later in the conversation, Admiral William McRaven joins to talk about Ukrainian foreign military aid, and the behind-the-scenes story of the covert operation he and Secretary Panetta led that killed Osama bin Laden.

Israel killed many people in Lebanon by putting explosives in pagers and walkie-talkies, in what was condemned internationally as a terrorist attack. This is already backfiring, hurting Western technology companies. Ben Norton discusses how this act of war will fragment supply chains, as Global South markets no longer trust tech made by the US and its allies. China's manufactured goods will increasingly be seen as a safer alternative.

When most investors think of due diligence, they think of sifting through years of financial statements and crunching numbers to better understand a company's potential. Not many people think about interrogating senior executives and employees, and asking the right questions to figure out whether they're telling the truth about the business model. In this episode, we speak with Phil 'Dick' Houston, a veteran CIA officer who's been called the human lie detector. Phil literally wrote the book on how to spot lies, and has been a long-time collaborator of entrepreneur and serial acquirer Brad Jacobs, helping him with due diligence on both senior hires and potential investments. In this episode, Phil explains his strategy for identifying deceptive behavior and how it can be applied to the corporate world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
