I’ve been dreaming of someone like you to interview Sean. Love watching Sean do interviews but always wanted to see him be interviewed. Couldn’t have asked for a better duo
I live in taiwan, 23 years, and the three letter agencies have sent their people here for years to study chinese. Ive met a few in the gym over the years and they are always so obvious after just a few questions. Never working but a bit too old to pass as real students. Nice everything, clothes, apartments, lifestyle. Fit, cleancut, and seemingly worry free. They actually stand apart very much from the usual foreigner in asia. The consulate workers are even more obvious. Beige trousers, blue shirt, brown shoes. And they take classes on how to blend in . But they always look exactly like yanks.
Im from Nicaragua. Im in the military, im special forces and theres places that are known (bars, clubs.. etc) where we are briefed and know that they hang out there.
My friend you arent special. You didnt catch CIA operatives. Dont be so naive. The CIA is the most advance organization on the planet if they wanted you to know youd know, if they didnt you wouldnt.
I work at a top ten department, I’m in the training division and would love for you to contribute to making our training better. I feel like we do a good job. We can always get better.
The way we now defeat facial recognition technology is by using simple facial prosthetics that also match facial body temperature. This throws the facial recognition technology software off and causes the facial target to show a red square around the person's face on the monitor. And to explain, facial recognition technology often cannot fully lock onto a person's face long enough while the person is maneuvering through a moving or chaotic crowd of other people. As seen on the monitor when the square around the targets face is in red instead of green. This is due to the movement and shifting angles of the person walking within the crowd of people. To help aid that the system keeps glitching on the targets face, in the form of a red square, eye glasses and other head apparel are used. Built within the apparel are electronics so to speak. Used as jamming agents against the facial recognition technology. Fact
Theres walking/stride recognition. Limp, cane, crutches? Nope. Certain factors, hip angle, ankle mechanics are difficult to change. Las Vegas led the way in facial recognition, still does.
You went way off base of reality in that last paragraph. Facial recognition does not "lock" a face, it converts a video into hundreds, potentially thousands of individual frames, transforms and converts the photo, then performs mathematical equations. What methods of transformation, conversion, and what equations are and what they use depend on the recognition model. Some convert to grayscale and bump contrast before converting into a machine readable array, for example. There are quite a few of them published publicly. The last part of about jamming the technology is utter nonsense. Facial recognition is a post-processing technology used on video or photos that have already been captured. The systems diagram would be video -> frame -> data ingestor/conversion. The only way to "jam" Facial recognition would be to prevent the camera from ever taking the photo in the first place, and unless it's tied to a network, there's no such thing as "jamming cameras." You can manipulate and potentially reduce the photo quality by using certain things like infrared light but a) for it to be effective, it would have to be pointed relatively at the camera and b) it would have to have a power source to keep it illuminated (obviously, but with power comes batteries and bulk)
If you are trying to be covert and a fire fight breaks out you never turn into super CQB stud(unless its specifically directed at you)and don't even remain calm being the "cool as a cucumber" guy in the corner. You have to freak out with everyone else or you risk blowing your cover. That's got to be hard for a super elite war fighting stud to maintain when acting a spy. Cause he could just take them all out. But then the people he is with(his targets) are going to be like "how did this civil engineer book worm just turn into Rambo all the sudden". You have to respond as an average civilian would to a threat while in that role.
Hate to be a dick but I was a GRS contractor for 8 years (CIA protection) and that's what I think he was, and I have no idea about half the shit he is talking about. I am not going to get into specifics but we were there for a very specific mission and us being the "spys" wasn't one of them. We worked 90% of the time in war zones and didn't need cover stories or anything like that we rotated but the main case officers stayed for at least a year. He definatly did the job but I think he is trying to make himself look a little more important then he was, which was basically a protection officer. If you want to see what GRS does go watch the movie 13 hours that will basically sum it up for you, but even that was a little exaggerated for the movie...sorry i tried to bite my tongue through the first few clips but the shit is getting deep lol
I agree but he did say they began to use them as they had relevant skills from their days in special operations for surveillance etc and not just the regular protection detail work
Your analysis is spot on. 98% of core collectors never lift their cover. I think the knuckle draggers generally have too much free time between car rides which leads them to exaggerate their affiliation with the Agency.
I think you are absolutely right. He doesn’t know a foreign language, he looks like he could never hold an actual cover, he doesn’t seem very intelligent. When I listened to him I knew exactly what his role was and knew that he was embellishing it to seem a bit more that he was in the middle of the storm.
One word. Compartmentalization. Just because YOU did not do this or anyone YOU know did not. Does not mean it does not happen. Sean has a good amount of referrals in the service. Don't ding the guy.
@@thamomentum Look I gave you my opinion after doing the same job in the same places as him for 8 years. I understand what you are thinking but that really doesn't happen, it is a small community working in small places and everyone knows pretty much everything that's going on. I can tell you he never received training to do that type of work because I did every training scenario there is, so does it make sense they would have him do "spy" work when he isn't trained in it? Our job was to protect the case officers as they did their work, or at their bases 90% of us were contractors (another reason we wouldn't do this). If you notice I didn't make it personal I just don't know what he is talking about.
Shawn always wanted to ask have you ever suspected a double agent in your time and end up being right? Just a y or n. not sure you can speak on it, but I would think self policing in your profession is extremely important
@@Wolf-sd8fr yes you cracked the code. I think that simply because he has a podcast and no other glaring obvious reason. You have super human perception dude!

@@jsradlerdont talk to wolfpecker like that
I just realized this wasn’t Shawn’s show from this comment. lol
Your a great interviewer bro. 🎉
The key question that Julian failed to ask: How does the rental car company deal with bullet holes in a returned vehicle?
in the M.E.? They are probably just happy the thing wasn't used a Vbed
You always get the insurance
That costs extra
As much as getting made,@@robertframe7349? :)
Lmao
You did an excellent interview with Shawn. Very good questions.
Shawn is always interesting
I like hearing Sean's own stories.❤
Spot on when he said" it's a dead giveaway "

Weird. The world’s super power, who made the rules, knows all the loopholes! Crazy. 😂
Okay.
Lol this guy sighed like if he actually resonates
_"No shit? ... damn ..."_
Shawn has turned his life around, going from alcoholic to a great voice for the un heard
Whos your homie u can go to no matter what and know u can trust him? Thats a safe house lol
Jason Bourne comes to mind lol

why does all of it smell like BS tho lol
I think he was just a CIA security guy thats trying to sound like he was more important than he was
It´s pure BS.. I burst out laughing when he started talking about safe-houses.
Guys, look up the podcast. It’s literally called “Inside CIA contracting w/ a Navy SEAL”. He has never claimed to be a spy.
Brother what do you think the CIA does?
These SF guys ALL have the same tell when working for CIA: the tattoos. Oil billionaires and businessmen don’t have sleeves, bro.
I’ll just say they are very obviously. Trust me everyone knows who they are. Most people in those countries just don’t care.

Why shouldn’t he talk about this? If it were still controlled information he’d just get arrested. The government doesn’t care.
