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.

For decades, California-based engineer Chi Mak quietly stole secrets on war-fighting technologies. He and his family members shared the intelligence with spies in China, giving Beijing astounding insights they hadn't earned. Former FBI Special Agent James Gaylord takes us back to the elaborate investigation in 2004. Evidence gathered by his squad, call sign “SARA-4,” broke a string of FBI failures in the courtroom. Chi went to prison, but new problems arose. Jim's account is documented in his book, Chasing Chi.

The ex spy at the heart of our story joins host Charlie Higson to unpack his days in a biker gang, his immersion in radical Islam, his rise within al-Qaeda's ranks, and the dramatic fallout that followed. This high-stakes espionage led to the death of his friend - one of al-Qaeda's top commanders. In a cruel twist of fate, Morten was subsequently betrayed by the spy agencies he risked everything for, and was left to grapple with PTSD and death threats. Here, he reflects on the cost of his choices and the life he's rebuilt in the aftermath.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. # 1281 The Brotherhood Behind the Bullet: Kris Millegan on the Secret Societies, Spy Networks & JFK Files They Still Won't Release For more than sixty years, that gunshot in Dealey Plaza has echoed through American history — a wound the official story could never close. Every theory has been exhausted, every confession recycled… yet the truth may have been hiding in plain sight, locked inside government files and private networks of power. Tonight, TrineDay founder Kris Millegan joins me to expose what's finally emerging in 2025 — revelations not just about intelligence agencies, but about the secret societies and fraternal power blocs that shaped the operation and the cover-up. This isn't a walk through 1963. This is a guided tour of the machinery that still runs the world. GUEST: Kris Millegan is the founder and publisher of TrineDay Press, one of the last fiercely independent publishing houses dedicated to forbidden history, suppressed intelligence research, and the stories the establishment refuses to touch. For over two decades, Millegan has championed authors investigating CIA covert operations, MK-ULTRA, political assassinations, deep-state networks, and the hidden machinery of American power. As the guiding force behind the annual Dallas JFK Conference, he has become a central figure in preserving — and advancing — the truth behind the Kennedy assassination. In a media landscape built on silence, Kris Millegan publishes the books that aren't supposed to exist. Kris will be speaking at the “History Declassified: Pursuing Truth and Justice in the Murder of President John F. Kennedy” Conference in Dallas November 20th to 23rd, 2025.

At the CIA, Rick Ames had a reputation as a middling agent with a drinking problem and a knack for skating by. But despite poor performance reviews, Rick just kept failing up. As he landed bigger and better assignments, he saw an opportunity to turn his access to Soviet-era secrets into cold, hard cash. For nearly a decade he sold classified intelligence to the KGB in exchange for a life of luxury with his wife, Rosario – who soon joined in on the betrayal. Together they pulled off one of the most devastating acts of espionage in U.S.history, harming CIA operations and costing countless lives before their luck finally ran out.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Retired FBI agent Pete Lapp helped capture Ana Montez, a Puerto Rican-born American and UVA alumna who was a senior analyst for the Defense Intelligence Agency overseeing the Cuban account. For 17 years, she was also a spy for Cuba and was an avowed communist. Ironically, as many of four of Anna's close family members worked for the FBI and despite Anna's more extreme political views, assumed she was a loyal American. From his book “Queen of Cuba,” Pete relates how Ana was identified as a potential national security risk, secretly investigated, and ultimately apprehended after years of committing espionage. He describes how she transmitted information and also shares his view of her psychology: Withdrawn, lonely, at odds with her father, and driven by her political convictions and personal disagreement with U.S. foreign policy (including its policy towards Nicaragua) rather than financial gain, by which so many other spies have been enticed.Recruited while in college in 1983 during the Reagan administration by Cuban agent Marta Velasquez, (who was also a Puerto Richan-American) Ana's steadfast career rise at the Department of Defense gave her increased access over time to information of value to Castro's Cuba, stopping short of putting agents in personal peril. Cuban intelligence has been chronically underestimated over decades and makes Ana's case a warning example of an organized program to infiltrate critical branches of the U.S. government, along with the recent apprehension of former U.S. Ambassador to Bolivia, Manuel Rocha, whose been identified as a Cuban spy.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

Craig Unger describes his 2014 visit to Iran's "Den of Spies" embassy museum, where he interviewed Moshen Rafi Duce, Iran's arms procurement head, who seemingly made an accidental admission about meeting "the Republicans." Former Iranian president Abolhassan Banisadr confirmed the October Surprise was a double coup d'état, destabilizing both the US and moderate Iranian elements. The timing of the hostage release confirms a prior deal: they were freed only three minutes after Ronald Reagan took the oath of office on January 20, 1981. This event, Unger concludes, fits a pattern of Republican reliance on adversarial nations to intervene in US elections. Guest: Craig Unger. Retry
Craig Unger discusses Den of Spies, investigating the "October Surprise"—hostages released minutes after Reagan's inauguration. The timing suggests the Reagan campaign made a secret deal with Iran. No facts have been challenged since publication. He views this as a Republican pattern of using adversarial nations to intervene in elections. Guest: Craig Unger. 1866 Retry
Craig Unger examines Ronald Reagan's hiring of Bill Casey, an OSS veteran and dazzlingly brilliant spy, to manage his campaign. Casey quickly established a secret intelligence network, meeting with Israeli intelligence and arms dealers globally. Although Casey was notoriously difficult to understand—mumbling, spitting, and requiring Reagan to just "nod and smile"—he recognized that the release of the American hostages before November would likely secure President Carter's re-election. Casey began putting his network into action, aiming to prevent the hostages' early release. It remains unclear how much Reagan knew about Casey's covert activities. Guest: Craig Unger.

Tara Erickson & John Humphrey react to Ghostbusters (2016), the high-energy supernatural comedy reboot directed by Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, Spy) that reimagines the beloved franchise with a hilarious all-female team of paranormal investigators. Combining sharp humor, wild ghost action, and nostalgic callbacks to the 1984 classic, this reboot brings new life (and slime) to a fan-favorite world. The film stars Kristen Wiig (Bridesmaids, The Martian) as Dr. Erin Gilbert, a physicist determined to establish her credibility when her old paranormal book resurfaces. She reunites with her eccentric former colleague Abby Yates, played by Melissa McCarthy (Spy, The Heat), who continues to research the supernatural alongside brilliant engineer Jillian Holtzmann, played by Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live, Barbie). Rounding out the team is Leslie Jones (Coming 2 America, SNL) as Patty Tolan, a NYC subway worker with an encyclopedic knowledge of the city. Chris Hemsworth (Thor, Extraction) joins the cast as their clueless yet lovable receptionist Kevin. With witty banter, colorful visuals, and a spirit of chaotic fun, Ghostbusters (2016) celebrates the power of friendship, science, and not being afraid of any ghost.

"Allow myself to introduce... myself." Yeah, Baby! We finally talk about Austin Powers on the podcast, and double-featured "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" (1997) and "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" (1999), and yes this sort of thing is my bag, baby! Mike Myers ruled comedy for a majority of the 1990s with hits like "Wayne's World", "So I Married and Axe Murderer", and his shagadelic secret agent Austin (Danger) Powers that had every middle school boy in a chokehold of quotable lines. Way before there were memes, there was reciting iconic lines like "Do I make you horny, baby?" and "Throw me a frickin' bone here!" with all your friend group. We talk about the crater these characters left on pop culture of the late nineties and early 00s, the love letter to all of the James Bond movies, and the beautiful women at Austin's side who we were obsessed with (Seriously, did anyone do the 90s like Liz Hurley?), and we'll quote Mindy Sterling's Frau Farbissina (Bring in the FEMBOTS!) until the day that we die! Both movies have so much comedy gold and peak camp going on in them. Are there diminishing returns as the movies went on? Maybe. Spy Who Shagged Me, while hilarious, is more or less a remake of the same movie, and Goldmember we don't care to revisit. But, well always have a soft spot for Austin Powers the character, and how influential it was for our goofy personalities going into adulthood!

There are a lot of spies in pop culture right now.

Today's guest is David McCloskey — former CIA analyst, bestselling author, and co-host of the hit podcast The Rest is Classified.Before becoming a novelist, David served at the Central Intelligence Agency where he wrote for the President's Daily Brief, testified before Congressional oversight committees, and briefed senior White House officials, ambassadors, and military leaders. He spent years stationed across the Middle East during the Arab Spring and later worked in the CIA's Counterterrorism Center focused on the conflicts in Syria and Iraq.David's acclaimed thrillers — DAMASCUS STATION, MOSCOW X, THE SEVENTH FLOOR, and THE PERSIAN — have established him as one of the most authentic new voices in modern espionage fiction. Damascus Station was a finalist for the 2022 International Thriller Writer's Award for Best First Novel and is currently in development for television.

They talk about the creation of The Rest is Classified — a top-charting podcast exploring untold spy stories, manhunts, and historical intrigue. David also shares insights into the writing process, balancing podcasting with novel deadlines, the surprising bureaucracy of the intelligence world — past and present — and a humorous story of running into Ben Affleck at Langley during research for Argo.His new novel, THE PERSIAN, is available now.FOLLOW DAVIDX: @mccloskeybooksInstagram: @mccloskeybooksFacebook: @mccloskeybooksWebsite: https://www.davidmccloskeybooks.com/ FOLLOW JACKInstagram: @JackCarrUSA X: @JackCarrUSAFacebook: @JackCarr YouTube: @JackCarrUSASPONSORSCRY HAVOC – A Tom Reece Thriller https://www.officialjackcarr.com/books/cry-havoc/Bravo Company Manufacturing - https://bravocompanyusa.com/ and on Instagram @BravoCompanyUSATHE SIGs of Jack Carr:Visit https://www.sigsauer.com/ and on Instagram @sigsauerinc Jack Carr Gear: Explore the gear here https://jackcarr.co/gear
When an elderly man with a battered suitcase walked into the British embassy in Vilnius in 1992, few could have guessed what he was about to hand over. Gordon Corera tells the story of Vasili Mitrokhin, an under-the-radar Soviet archivist who copied thousands of classified KGB documents over 12 years. Speaking to Elinor Evans, he reveals how a project that began as a private rebellion against the agency he once served evolved into one of the greatest intelligence coups of the 20th century. (Ad) Gordon Corera is the author of The Spy in the Archive: How One Man Tried to Kill the KGB (William Collins, 2025).

From the BBC World Service: Australia is increasingly vulnerable to "high-impact sabotage" from hackers backed by China, according to Australian intelligence official Mike Burgess. He told business leaders in Melbourne that there had been multiple attempts to hack into transportation, telecommunications, water, and energy networks. Plus, a multibillion-dollar natural gas platform off the coast of Senegal promised to bring economic prosperity, but fishermen there say the development has caused disruption and unemployment.
I kept seeing this guy everywhere online. Then I opened my Instagram DMs and found a message from 2021: “I'm the first ex-CIA officer to launch an information product… everything I've learned came from you.” A year later he went viral using the exact earned-media playbook from Traffic Secrets, stacked podcast appearances, and sent all that attention to one link that fed his funnel. In this episode I sit down with Andrew Bustamante to unpack how he went from CIA to info business, why his name started triggering the algorithm, and how a single quiz became the engine that turned curiosity into qualified buyers. Key Highlights: ◼️The earned-media ladder that took him from small shows to the biggest podcasts and sent every viewer to one conversion link ◼️How a CIA-inspired spy quiz filters for personality, pinpoints a weakness, and turns attention into buyers ◼️The zero-ad viral strategy he ran on repeat and when to layer paid traffic on top of it ◼️CIA tradecraft mapped to marketing: adopt vocabulary, build commonality first, then shift beliefs, plus the nine-month conversion model ◼️Inside his value ladder: tripwire, smart order bumps, a daily intelligence brief, community, and high-ticket experiences that move readers into video buyers Most people chase views, but people like Andrew simply demand views by being so interesting and informative! He proves you can turn story, psychology, and smart funnels into a system that compounds without brute-force ad spend. If you run content, a podcast circuit, or a personal brand, study this one. Build a single path for attention. Use a diagnostic that creates desire to fix a revealed weakness. Move customers up with offers that prepare them for the next medium and the next level. That is how you turn interviews into income and strangers into true fans.

No other American has a family history quite like Christine Kuehn. Through years of doing painstaking interviews, hunting down letters, and pouring through FBI records, Christine learned that her German-born aunt had a fling with Nazi politician Joseph Goebbels. When he found out she was half-Jewish, Goebbels sent the family to Hawaii to spy. After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Christine's grandfather was found guilty of providing intelligence to the Japanese. In this episode we hear how Christine Keuhn strung together her family secrets to tell her family history in her book, Family of Spies, which is coming out November 25th.

In this episode of the Disaster Tough Podcast, host John Scardena sits down with Dr. Chris Ellis, a military veteran, scholar, and author of Resilient Citizens: The People, Perils, and Politics of Modern Preparedness. Together, they explore the evolution of what it means to be a resilient citizen—someone capable of surviving and thriving during crisis through community, faith, and proactive readiness. From Iraq deployments and disaster nation-building to the academic study of resilience and preparedness, Dr. Ellis shares how his journey through war zones, research, and leadership shaped his mission to help others build lasting readiness.Scardena and Ellis dive into global and cultural lessons from history's most significant disasters—from Mount St. Helens and Hurricane Katrina to Japan's tsunami response and European recovery models—and how those events reveal the interconnectedness of preparedness, culture, and resilience. They discuss Ellis's SPIES framework—Social, Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Spiritual—and how these five dimensions strengthen individuals and communities before disaster strikes.The conversation challenges stereotypes of “preppers,” shifting focus toward collaboration, compassion, and civic responsibility. Ellis explains why preparedness is not about fear, but about agency—taking control of your capacity to act and support others. From faith-based readiness to community-driven resilience, this episode is packed with insights for emergency managers, policymakers, and anyone striving to build a stronger, more self-reliant society.Whether you're leading disaster response, training in emergency management, or simply looking to protect your family and neighbors, this episode reminds us that true preparedness isn't about isolation—it's about connection, purpose, and service.You can find Dr. Ellis book here on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Resilient-Citizens-People-Politics-Preparedness/dp/163763448XSEO Keywords: John Scardena | Disaster Tough Podcast | Chris Ellis | The People Perils and Politics of Modern Preparedness | Resilient Citizen | Emergency Management | Preparedness | Resilience | Military Leadership | Nation Building | Community Readiness | Emergency Response | Humanitarian Aid | Disaster Leadership | Crisis Management | Faith and Resilience | SPIES Framework | FEMA | Mount St. Helens | Hurricane Katrina | Japan Earthquake | Resilient Communities | Public Safety | Homeland Security | The Readiness Lab | Doberman Emergency Management
Tax rises! Cuts to everything! Here comes the pain! Seldom has a Budget been heralded with such dire warnings… if you believe the Toryform Press. But according to Giles Wilkes – Institute for Government fellow and former adviser to Vince Cable and Theresa May – Britain isn't in such a disastrous state after all. In a weirdly optimistic conversation he joins Andrew Harrison and Jonn Elledge to look at the real story of Britain's finances; why Brexit is an even bigger drag anchor than the Treasury will admit; and why the embattled Chancellor needs to stick to her course. ESCAPE ROUTES • Jonn has been watching The Celebrity Traitors, yes that again, do our panel ever watch anything else? • Giles recommends Wellington: The Iron Duke by Richard Holmes. • Andrew recommends the old school BBC adaptation of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy with Alec Guinness.
