      For Breaking Bad fans, this kind of reminds me of what Brian Cranston said about his character and people in general that: "anyone be dangerous, they just have to be pushed to their limits/put in the right circumstances of desperation", or something like that. Interview's on UA-cam BTS stuff on AMC's channel I think. Not exactly the same as what this video is talking about, but, yeah.

    As a CIA operations officer retired I have had issues with some of his statements in the past. To be fair my area of expertise and operations was different. I totally agree with his statements about how we receive our assignments and from whom. It is unfortunately totally political and many times I have said to my management "Really, you want to do this in that country?" I loved my job and the people I worked shoulder to shoulder so I try to complete the assignment to the best of my abilities. All the while hoping that it made sense and I just didn't understand the big picture. I would find out after the fact weather it did or not. Even when that did not make sense to me I again would justify with I am not purview to all the information.

    The thought crossed my mind once about joining a police force to hunt down CP distributors and producers but one day I saw a HEAVILY redacted and blurred CP photo on the news. It stuck with me and kept me up at night and made me realize that there’s no way I could ever fight CP with the police because it would mean seeing that crap and I couldn’t deal with it.

    I am starting to wonder about this guy. While he seems highly articulate and comes off as a quite convincingly as a sublet matter expert but I have seen this kind of con before. I don’t know what he did in the Air Force although I was told he was Nuclear and Missile Operations Officers but he has yet to make his DD 214 available. As far as him being a covert operations Agent in the CIA there are few things that don’t pass the smell test. He never says whether or not he was a direct hire or a contractor and whether he worked in Operations or as an Analyst. I spent twenty two years in Special Operations (Rangers and Special Forces) and know a lot of people in SAD and no one has ever heard of or seen this guy. He claims to be able to teach people how to spot a liar within minutes but that sounds more like embellishment than and actual skill. Lie detection is an art form and not a science and even the most talented of Case Officers get it wrong because it so difficult to assess. Another thing is he has over exposed himself on media platforms something most Case Officers, Field Operatives and Analysts don’t do. He seems to be all over the net on different Podcasts and UA-cam videos which is another red flag for me and much or what he says seems like it is coming from a spy novel. It seems to me that he is informed ahead of time what the topic of discussion will be and then he generates a narrative without any cross examination. Lastly, and maybe redundantly, no one presses him on his credentials like how he became a decorated combat veteran in the Air Force. Like I said it just doesn’t add up and I am begging to detect a con artist.

Do you believe that someone will send their children to die before them instead of protecting them, the whole point they were fighting for is for their people, their children and their way of life and you think an invading soldier from the other part of the world cares more about their kids than their people. If you believe such bulshit that we're superior beings and the rest of the world are living beings with no hearts and brains, then I have a bridge to sell you at a discount. One other thing this guy clearly made up that story on the spot, he was not prepared to be asked an example and usually for an interview the would say that they're not permitted to talk about it, so since this guy is promoting his channel and himself to people like you, he felt like he had to say something so he made this stuff up because he couldn't get a real story that was interesting and was also cleared beforehand so he had to make something up, it's of bad taste that he chose CP although he didn't clarify it enough to be prosecuted for but hinted enough to shame the agency. What I am not sure is why he posted it, is it because this was a colab and the other guy will have posted anyway? Or was this the most eye catching part of the whole podcast and he wants to use it as an ad for the rest of the podcast, either way this didn't go as he think it went for either him or the agency, no warlord or any manly enough man in Africa or anywhere else in the world will want something as disgusting as that , that shit is for degenerate powerless piece of shit.

    The fact of the matter is Agencies have been involved with protecting their "source" wether that be human traffickers or child abusers and let them continue to some extent in their depravity. I would even go so far to say some agents themselves may have been involved with CP and it's covered up or swept under the rug to protect the "image" of the agencies which at this point are only fooling themselves to believe their reputation is not tarnished to the publics eye.

      Over the past 14 years, the Central Intelligence Agency has secretly amassed credible evidence that at least 10 of its employees and contractors committed sexual crimes involving children.Though most of these cases were referred to US attorneys for prosecution, only one of the individuals was ever charged with a crime. Prosecutors sent the rest of the cases back to the CIA to handle internally, meaning few faced any consequences beyond the possible loss of their jobs and security clearances.
      One employee had sexual contact with a 2-year-old and a 6-year-old. He was fired. A second employee purchased three sexually explicit videos of young girls, filmed by their mothers. He resigned. A third employee estimated that he had viewed up to 1,400 sexually abusive images of children while on agency assignments. The records do not say what action, if any, the CIA took against him. A contractor who arranged for sex with an undercover FBI agent posing as a child had his contract revoked.

    Bustamante compounds the problem. There is no separation between ethics and morals. Ethics are essentially the application of a moral code. A moral code is derived from outside self. It proceeds from an absolute. Self is not absolute but rather relativistic because 'sense of self' is inconsistent and variable. The decoupling of ethics from morals renders ethics nothing more than a code of conduct related to a set of subjective standards and values.
    Morals and individualism are incompatible.
