In the official offshoot of the OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN series, I review the French-UK produced PARIS HAS FALLEN (currently streaming on Hulu).   Is the material as engaging as the surprisingly decent reviews indicated?   How is the MI6 spy agency and the French gov't utilized into the story arc?   Will it be even more addicting for the 24 and NCIS crowd seeking more military espionage adventure?   And which key bad guy actor from the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE films plays yet another scary bad apple?   Grab your glock and get to the embassy with us!     SONGS USED: "Dark Mystery", "Destination Unknown" , "Delusion 32", "Dat Groove" and "Down the Way" by AudioNautix.

How did Cold War intelligence operations shape postcolonial India's domestic politics and international alignments? Why did Western agencies prioritise relationships with Indian counterparts while publicly decrying non-alignment? And what can today's policymakers learn from the legacies of covert cooperation in the Global South? In this episode, Dr Paul McGarr, Lecturer in Intelligence Studies in the Department of War Studies, discusses his latest book Spying in South Asia. He explores the complex, often contradictory intelligence relationships between post-independence India and agencies such as MI5, MI6 and the CIA. From clandestine support to Cold War defections, and from covert propaganda campaigns to today's intelligence partnerships, Dr McGarr traces how secrecy, sovereignty and strategic necessity shaped India's place in global affairs—and continues to inform the geopolitics of the Indo-Pacific today.

Paris-London Connection is the most shocking yet factual book written on the 1997 Paris crash that took the lives of Princess Diana and her lover, Dodi Fayed. This fast-moving but authoritative narrative covers the events leading up to and following the tragedy. The book is a short, quick read, under 200 pages, but is a bombshell because it closely follows the evidence and forensic analysis included in the 5,000 pages of the Diana Inquest book series. That series draws together the evidence from the French investigation, the British Operation Paget investigation, the 2007-8 London inquest and hundreds of British police documents not shown to the inquest jury. Members of Britain?s royal family, MI6 officers and agents, senior French police personnel and Western intelligence agencies all played a role in the events in Paris. Exposed for the first time is the specific role of the key senior MI6 officer, Sherard Cowper-Coles. The book reveals the people who ordered the assassination of Diana and Dodi and those who carried out the operation and how they did it. It also shows how the authorities covered up what occurred and the significant connection between events in France and the UK, both before and after the crash. 27 inquest witnesses, both French and British, who committed perjury at the London inquest are named for the first time. Paris-London Connection reveals the level of coordinated state-authorised corruption in the conduct of the French and British police investigations and the inquest headed by Lord Justice Scott Baker. This is the long awaited book that uses the actual witness and documentary evidence to reveal the who, how and why of the assassination of Britains much-loved Princess Diana. John Morgan is author of the Diana Inquest book series. Prominent British QC, Michael Mansfield, who served at the London inquest, has said: I have no doubt that the volumes written by John Morgan will come to be regarded as the Magnum Opus on the crash ... and the cover-up that followed. Mohamed Al Fayed, who lost his son Dodi in the crash, has stated: I believe that John Morgan has done more to expose the facts of this case than the police in France and BritainBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

“Sound Speed Action” is back with the newest episode in our countdown to Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning. Now we're entering Christopher McQuarrie mode with the next film: Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (2015).Writer and veteran Hollywood script doctor Christopher McQuarrie directs his first Mission Impossible and assembles a great team behind the camera to inject more energy into this thrill ride. Joe Kraemer delivers a pulsing orchestral score straight out of the original TV series. Eddie Hamilton joins as the wizard editor (Top Gun: Maverick, Kingsman), keeping everything moving at a fun clip.We talk about what we really enjoyed. Cruise is great, but Simon Pegg's Benji really steps up and commands his scenes. Rebecca Ferguson's debut as MI6 agent Ilsa Faust is superb—she elevates the movie with charisma and badassery. Sean Harris is fun as our super creepy villain, though it's tough to get too excited since the bar for villains hasn't been set very high. Alec Baldwin as Hunley is fantastic, and McQuarrie uses him brilliantly as a way for the franchise to poke fun at itself (“Sir, Hunt is the living manifestation of destiny—and he has made you his mission”). The Vienna Opera House sequence is a unique thrill.Some odd choices pop up—the snakeskin shirt (you'll know it when you see it), and a bad CGI car flip. But honestly, there's not much to knock.McQuarrie's been hyped up a lot on this show already, and now that we're here at his first Mission as director… what do you think? Enough action for you? We haven't even begun yet.Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation is available to stream now on Prime Video and Paramount Plus. It's also available to rent and buy now on all platforms.

In this chilling and deeply researched episode, Jon Herold, Zak “RedPill78” Paine, and BX pull back the curtain on one of the darkest networks lurking online: the 764 cult. BX breaks down how the group weaponizes sextortion, ritual abuse, and satanic imagery to target vulnerable minors, coercing them into acts of violence, self-harm, and even suicide. They reveal the disturbing connections between the Order of Nine Angles, federal informants like Joshua Caleb Sutter, and the FBI's shadowy role in shaping domestic terror narratives. The hosts explore how Satanism is used both as a real tactic for ritual control and as a tool for public manipulation, connecting threads through Operation Gladio, MI6 assets like Aleister Crowley, and intelligence psyops masquerading as “Fed-busting.” They discuss the media's silence, the role of federal sting operations, and why public denial of these horrors makes them easier to perpetuate. This isn't your average conspiracy show, it's an unflinching look at spiritual warfare, state-run terror, and the cost of looking away.

Historically revered for its expansive empire and enduring cultural, legal, and political influence, the UK retains considerable strength. London's financial markets, world-class educational institutions, and influential media continue to set benchmarks internationally. These factors affirm its status as a first rate power, contributing to robust economic and diplomatic engagement with global partners. Conversely, critics argue that the UK remains haunted by the legacy of its imperial past, struggling to reconcile colonial history with contemporary values. They contend that unresolved issues from empire have left lingering societal and political challenges, influencing debates over national identity and strategic priorities. In the post-Brexit era, as Britain negotiates new trade agreements and redefines its international alliances, it faces the task of balancing tradition with innovation. Amid shifting geopolitical dynamics, the nation is actively recalibrating its ambitions, asserting its influence through soft power and strategic partnerships. Ultimately, the UK embodies both resilience and reinvention. It draws upon historical prestige while embracing modern reforms, demonstrating that its relevance is continuously evolving to meet the complex demands of 2025 and beyond. Its future remains debated.

They are the titans of the spy novel, who have elevated thrillers to the level of literary fiction. Much imitated, much adapted by the big and small screens, Ian Fleming and John Le Carré have painted our picture of post-war espionage: Fleming through the dashing figure of James Bond, with his lush locations and Martinis as icy as his heart; Le Carré through his damning portrait of the British secret service drawn from his own time in MI5 and MI6. But which of the two novelists is the greater? In this thrilling contest, Fleming's case was made by Anthony Horowitz, creator of the bestselling Alex Rider spy novels and author of the official Bond continuation novel Trigger Mortis. Championing Le Carré – whose memoir about his life as a former spy currently sits in the bestseller lists – was David Farr, Emmy-nominated screenwriter of the BBC's adaptation of The Night Manager. Actors Lesley Manville, Simon Callow, Matthew Lewis and Alex Macqueen joined us to bring both authors' works to life along with our host, author and critic Erica Wagner. ----  If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

"Watching people lie is very compelling," says Academy-Award winning filmmaker Steven Soderbergh when discussing his new spy thriller, Black Bag. Soderbergh joins One Decision hosts Kate McCann and resident spymaster Sir Richard Dearlove, the former head of Britain's MI6, to talk about the film. They also discuss the reality of being a spy, why integrity and trust are key elements of espionage, and the possibility of Soderbergh directing a James Bond film.

Later, former U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor, Jon Finer, joins the podcast to discuss his pivotal role during the first few weeks of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, shares insight into the United States' role in ceasefire negotiations, and why he's fairly optimistic about the outcome of the war in Gaza.

Oleg Gordievskij, en av världens mest kända dubbelagenter, har avlidit vid 86 års ålder i sitt hem i Surrey, England. Som högt uppsatt KGB-officer värvades han av Storbritanniens underrättelsetjänst under kalla kriget och blev en ovärderlig källa för både MI6 och MI5. Hans insatser ledde bland annat till att 25 sovjetiska spioner utvisades från Storbritannien och att den svenske spionen Stig Bergling kunde avslöjas. Gordievskij spelade även en nyckelroll i att avvärja en kärnvapenkonflikt på 1980-talet.Med anledning av hans bortgång repriserar vi nu Historia Nu-avsnittet om Oleg Gordievskij, där författaren Ben Macintyre berättar om spionens dramatiska liv och avgörande roll i det kalla krigets skuggvärld.I detta avsnitt av Historia Nu samtalar programledaren med författaren Ben Macintyre som skrivit boken Spion och förrädare – Kalla krigets största spionhistoria. Samtalet är på engelska.KGB-översten Oleg Gordievskij arbetade under elva år för den brittiska underrättelsetjänsten MI6. Gordijevskij avslöjade spioner som svenske Stig Berling och norske Arne Treholt, briefade västledare som Margot Thatcher och Ronald Reagan inför toppmöten och förhindrande ett kärnvapenanfall från det allt mer paranoida Sovjetunionen.Oleg Gordievskij växte upp i en KGB-familj, men blev spion åt väst eftersom han avskydde det sovjetiska systemet. När KGB var Gordievskij på spåren lyckades MI6 smuggla ut honom från det slutna Sovjetunionen där en välfylld blöja kunde avleda gränspolisens spårhundar.Gordievskij var son till en NKDV-man, föregångaren till KGB, som arbetat för säkerhetstjänsten under den stora terrorn på 1930-talet. Gordievskij växte upp tillsammans med andra familjer som arbetade för den ryska säkerhetstjänsten. Vid tidig ålder lärde han sig tyska. Som en KGB-trainee, tillbringade han sex månader i Östberlin när Berlinmuren byggdes.Gordijevskijs besvikelse över den grå totalitära världen i Moskva på 1960-talet bara ökade. Men det var den sovjetiska invasionen av Tjeckoslovakien 1968 som drev Gordijevskij mot väst. Han bestämde sig för att bekämpa det kommunistiska systemet inifrån.I augusti 1968, och började sända hemliga signaler till danska och brittiska underrättelsetjänster om att han kanske var villig att samarbeta med dem. 1974 gick han med på att överlämna hemligheter till MI6, vilket han betraktade som "inget mindre än att underminera det sovjetiska systemet". Efter att han lärt sig att tala engelska blev Gordievskij placerad i London i juni 1982. Han avancerade stadigt i graderna med hjälp av hemlig hjälp och manipulation från MI6.Bild: Oleg Gordievskilj i KGB-uniform. Montage.

Independent journalists Kit Klarenberg and Tim Norman have conducted significant investigations into the alleged 2018 assassination attempt on Sergei Skripal, a former Russian intelligence officer turned British spy, and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury, England. The episode also covers the related death of Dawn Sturgess in nearby Amesbury, which was recently the subject of a UK inquiry. Skripal, who betrayed Russia for MI6 in the 1990s, was settled in Salisbury after a spy swap in 2010. On March 4, 2018, he and Yulia were found unconscious on a bench, allegedly poisoned by the nerve agent "novichok," which the British government attributed to Russian operatives. The official narrative claims this poison was smeared on Skripal's door, though inconsistencies—such as the delayed onset of symptoms, the survival of the Skripals, and lack of definitive evidence linking the agent to Russia—raise doubts about the UK government's story.Months later, Englishwoman Dawn Sturgess died after reportedly spraying herself with "novichok" from a sealed perfume bottle found by her boyfriend, Charlie Rowley, prompting further accusations against Russia. However, the apparently sealed bottle and the inability of scientists to confirm the nerve agent's origin undermined the government's claims. The British narrative was shaky and possibly propped up by intelligence-linked entities like Bellingcat and the Institute for Statecraft's Integrity Initiative, which may have pushed disinformation. The recently concluded Sturgess Inquiry, designed to control the narrative, inadvertently exposed its weaknesses.To find out more about the people and music featured in today's episode, visit the Assassinations Podcast website, www.AssassinationsPodcast.com You can find Tim's work on the Propaganda in Focus website (https://propagandainfocus.com/author/h7_2q94aatnh5/) and UK Column (https://www.ukcolumn.org/writer/tim-norman), as well as on X.com @timtron2020Kit writes for The Grayzone website (https://thegrayzone.com/author/kit-klarenberg/), including on the Skripal/Sturgess case: https://thegrayzone.com/2025/01/13/british-inquiry-skripal-poisoning/.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageFive years after a mysterious virus emerged from Wuhan, China, we're still grappling with unanswered questions about COVID-19's origins and accountability. Drawing from Sharri Markson's eye-opening book "What Really Happened in Wuhan," we explore a remarkable January 2020 meeting where Chinese democracy advocate Wei Jingsheng warned Washington insiders about a suspicious virus leak from a laboratory—weeks before the world understood what was coming.This pivotal conversation raises profound questions: Why hasn't there been a comprehensive investigation into COVID-19's origins comparable to the Nuremberg trials after WWII or the tribunals for Rwanda and Yugoslavia? Top intelligence officials from multiple nations now believe a laboratory accident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology represents the most probable explanation. Former MI6 chief Sir Richard Dearlove states "the weight of evidence is actually on the escapee side," while former CIA Director Mike Pompeo identifies the Wuhan lab as the likely source. Yet meaningful accountability remains out of reach.We examine the unique geopolitical challenges preventing justice—China's superpower status, the difficulty in establishing clear intent versus negligence, and international reluctance to confront Beijing. The stark reality is that China has been the source of multiple serious disease outbreaks in recent decades, raising urgent questions about global biosafety standards and potential consequences for nations that repeatedly endanger global health. Despite these obstacles, the millions who lost their lives deserve our continued pursuit of truth and accountability. Five years may not be enough time to untangle this complex catastrophe, but history shows that persistence in seeking justice matters, however challenging that path may be.Join us as we reflect on this somber anniversary and consider what meaningful steps toward accountability might still be possible, even as the window for justice narrows with each passing year.Key Points from the Episode:• Exploring Sharri Markson's book "What Really Happened in Wuhan" and key early warning from Chinese democracy advocate Wei Jingsheng• Comparing COVID-19 to historical justice mechanisms like Nuremberg, Rwanda, and Cambodia tribunals• Examining statements from intelligence leaders including former MI6 and CIA heads supporting the lab leak theory• Analyzing the geopolitical obstacles preventing meaningful investigation and accountability• Questioning what justice might look like five years after the pandemic began• Highlighting China's repeated role in pandemic outbreaks over recent decades• Considering whether stronger international biosafety standards and potential UN Security Council consequences should be implementedKeep fighting the good fight and seeking truth about COVID-19's origins despite the challenges.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

Kelsi and Trey dive into Steven Soderbergh's thrilling 2025 double feature, Black Bag and Presence—two wildly different films that both explore trust, surveillance, and relationships. Black Bag is a sexy, razor-sharp spy thriller where Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett play elite MI6 agents—and longtime spouses—caught in a web of secrets, betrayals, and two unforgettable dinner parties. Meanwhile, Presence is a meticulously crafted, first-person ghost story that strips the haunted house genre down to its bones, using surveillance-like filmmaking to expose the fractures in a grieving family.The Extra Credits YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a member of The Extra Credits+ on Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠How to link Patreon to Spotify and Apple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd: ⁠The Extra Credits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: The Extra Credits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Reddit: r/TheExtraCredits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠@theextracredits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter: ⁠@theextracredits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Send requests, questions, and thoughts to our email: extracreditspod@gmail.com

Es el verano de 1982 y el espía de la KGB Oleg Gordievsky viaja desde Moscú para ocupar un puesto en la embajada soviética en Londres. Oriente y Occidente tienen una profunda desconfianza y desconocimiento mutuo, y como resultado, la Guerra Fría, que lleva ya casi 40 años, se está calentando. El juego del espionaje y la paranoia magnifican la sospecha entre las superpotencias, y una carrera armamentística amenaza con llevar al mundo al armagedón nuclear. Incluye entrevistas de archivo raramente escuchadas con Oleg Gordievsky y las cartas inéditas de Michael Bettaney, así como entrevistas con antiguos ayudantes de Margaret Thatcher y Ronald Reagan y antiguos oficiales de la KGB, el MI5 y el MI6, algunos de los cuales nunca antes habían hablado en público. Con la ayuda de Gordievsky, Gran Bretaña identifica a Mijail Gorbachov como un posible nuevo contendiente para líder soviético; podría ser el billete para mejorar las relaciones entre Oriente y Occidente. Pero los frágiles pasos hacia la diplomacia se ven amenazados por los intereses creados de otros espías que siguen atrapados en el viejo orden mundial. La CIA está decidida a descubrir quién es el superespía británico, pero su jefe de contrainteligencia soviética, Aldrich Ames, se está desilusionando. Se convierte en traidor por una suma insignificante y, poco después, Gordievsky es convocado de regreso a Rusia, donde corre un peligro casi seguro. El episodio incluye grabaciones de audio exclusivas de Aldrich Ames, entrevistas de audio de Oleg Gordievsky, entrevistas con ex oficiales de la KGB, el FBI, la CIA y el MI6, algunos de los cuales nunca habían hablado antes, así como colegas de Thatcher y Reagan. Es 1985 y Mijail Gorbachov es el nuevo y joven líder de la Unión Soviética en un momento muy tenso. Si bien ambos bandos tienen esperanzas de paz, han estado almacenando armas nucleares públicamente durante décadas. Ninguno de los dos lados quiere parecer débil. Thatcher y Reagan esperan que un nuevo liderazgo en el Kremlin ofrezca una oportunidad para un diálogo constructivo. El doble agente Oleg Gordievsky es fundamental en estas negociaciones, pero una repentina citación a Moscú por parte de sus jefes del KGB lo pone nervioso: ¿saben que está espiando en secreto para Gran Bretaña? Cuando llega a su apartamento de Moscú y descubre que se ha utilizado una cerradura que nunca gira, sus temores se confirman. Incluye grabaciones de audio exclusivas de Aldrich Ames, entrevistas de audio de Oleg Gordievsky y entrevistas con ex oficiales del KGB, la CIA, el FBI y el MI6, incluido uno de los oficiales del MI6 que rescató a Gordievsky. Otras entrevistas incluyen a colegas de Thatcher, Reagan y Gorbachov, y expertos con conexiones personales con la historia, como Susan Eisenhower y Nina Khrushcheva.
