Man, this podcast (as interesting as it is) sure likes to let the feds use them as their mouthpiece. Everything you hear in this episode should be taken only as "This is what the CIA wants me to think about, and how it wants me to think about it."
It's obviously about the CIA from a CIA employees perspective. I don't expect to hear the agency's dirty laundry. If you can't understand that, and have your expectations set to a realistic level, the problem is you. If I want to hear about the wrong doings, and other stuff about the agency I will look elsewhere for that very reason. You have to understand what perspective you will be getting, and use it as just one of many sources to educate yourself in a more rounded way.
3 letter agencies are highly compartmentalized. Just because he was in the CIA doesn’t mean he is going to be aware of everything the agency is doing. He apparently is not adding that fact into his thoughts about what the agency did or did not do.
This is not a podcast guest; this is CIA on a press tour. Same with that Andrew Bustamante guy, who has been on every podcast lately. Talks a lot about how Epstein killed himself.
“Political espionage is a way of life in America. Everybody in the business knows it, accepts it and engages in it. It’s part of the game.” John Buckley (former FBI) Senate Investigation into Watergate 1973
I've seen this guy before on podcasts and he says alot of things that are proveably untrue and says many other things that just gave me a feeling of doubt about him. I just started it and he's saying Cuban rebels we're only second to the Nazis in deaths. Mao is said to have killed 40-80 mil, Stalin 7 mil, Pol Pot 3 mil. To name a few. In 1960 (when he was 10) Cuba pop was 7.1 mil. Just my observation of him
I get that too, also him wanted to join the Vietnam war... he won't say anything negative about our country because obviously he was cia. Also, it seem he did alot of things for our country because he felt he owed the favor in return of coming here from Cuba.
A guy like this starts off with all my respect based off where he came from and how he came up. To me he exemplifies people who claim to be guided by wholesome patriotic principled beliefs until those beliefs get in the way but as quick as they are to point out perceived evils they seem hopelessly incapable or unwilling to see their own.
In October 2013, two former DEA agents and a pilot who allegedly flew for the CIA claimed to the Mexican journal Proceso and to the US network Fox News that the CIA had been "complicit" in the murder of DEA agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena in 1985 and that Félix Ismael Rodríguez Mendigutia had played a role.
The Agency literally brainwashed their agents- I know a few closely and am amazed at how effective the brainwashing is on them- literally robs them of the ability to see the truth around them or makes it effortless to lie about not being aware to those closest to them.

Bro it seems like you didn't listen to him properly.He said he came here as a kid and it is pretty much what happens for immigrant kids even now. The people who he is actually criticizing are those grown ups who don't do what his parents did. His parents literally waited in a communist country that had ample motive to hang them.

@@marka9261 I suggest you research what's happening with David Grusch who was tasked with reporting to Congress on UAPs. In 2022, Grusch filed a complaint with the U.S. Office of the Intelligence Community Inspector General so that he could share classified information with the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. In July 2022 the ICIG found his complaint to be "credible and urgent". If you have to file an ICIG complaint to share information with the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, does that sound like oversight to you?
That was my first thought. The CIA said, "well get out there and remind the American people that we save the world from commies and terrorists every single day!"
I gave you a thumbs up because you are correct. "Felix Rodriguez aka Max Gomez" should have gone to prison. Kiki's death was a direct result of protecting the drug trade.
UNBELIEVABLE BU!! $H!T! **KNOW THIS The people at the top, the ones sitting with the [Have Mores] knew exactly where Bin Ladin was the entire time! They waited for the last plane out (with the Bin Ladins) on board, before they shut down the planes. Then, they practically gave him an armed escort out of the mountains into Pakistan. Shrek the retired Seargent Major talks about how he and a select handful got to shoot/fire nearly one of everything we have in our arsenal. Including the MOAB! As they/we were flexing, shooting off all our bottle rockets into the valley, Bin Ladin and his entourage quietly and safely stepped out the back door, as the world watched. He practically had an army guard his six as he went through the chain of safe houses! Special measures were taken to make sure he and his peeps got out safely. The Bush/Cheney regime had agreements in place, that as long as they held office, or had hands on the controls Bin Ladin would not be harmed! I'm sure this will be erased, and it sickens me to know where this "free" country is headed. The only thing that sets us apart from N Korea is... Our propaganda machine has better funding and the producers have much better scripts [world-class writers]! FOR GOD'S SAKE PEOPLE, THEY ARE NOW OPENLY SUPPORTING THE FIGHTING ON ALL SIDES OF THE FENCE. NOW WHATS NEXT? Doom and gloom for sure! When putin called it and pointed out that ISIS was fighting in Syria with American weapons and bullets, right about the time they left the Taliban, better armed than most 3rd world countries. American Contractors the maintain and service the fleet they were handed, before we left. (Ukraine is buying Russian gas) we have been caught red-handed funneling resources to Russia through Egypt. And that's just the crap or the scraps of info they leave laying around. Why are we in ukraine? Follow the money train! What did they say, ALL ROADS LEAD TO TO ROME! **WAKE UP PEOPLE, IT'S ALREADY TOO LATE!**
@TEP hey remember that time the FBI had to lead an investigation to root out double agents in the CIA? I wonder how many there are now. FBI, state department and many other agencies have double socialist double agents

Laugh out loud but no, it's just us Millennials and not wanting to work hard. That shit kills me when I hear about relatives or older family members talking about literally just working a part-time job over summer and buying their first car outright in cash... and it was like a ten-year-old car for less than $500, not no Model T.... LOL nowadays you can work an entire summer AKA 3 months part-time at minimum wage and be lucky to break 1500 bucks after taxes. You can't buy a total POS with no AC for that amount of money nowadays... But those Baby Boomers and they're $20,000 houses... $5,000 new cars... 1 ¢ candy... just work harder for the same exact basic things us Millennials one day dream of...lmao
@TEP the moment you only look for data/information that confirms your already held belief/viewpoint is the moment you stop growing. (not that I think the CIA's hands are clean in the drug trade for a moment)
There is no such thing of a x cia agent... They are always loyal to the agency.. they will support the cia with any lie they want said.and follow any narrative
I was in Central America in 85-86 flying for a govt contractor and Ric was a legend as was Felix Rodriguez. As for Eugene Hassenfus? He was a rat that sung like a canary when captured.

Koncrete needs to do better in vetting his guests or at least scrutinize the stories their telling. Ask lots of questions before the interview and then fact check and verify if not you look like another quack.
Roberto Clemente played baseball for The Pittsburgh Pirates, where I was born. I remember when we got the news that he died in a plane crash bringing food to help the people after the earthquake. I was a young teen and I remember that the people in Pittsburgh were devastated hearing the news. He so was beloved! He was such a good man. There was a bridge near our stadium and I believe that it was named after him. I moved out of state but I will never forget his contribution to the Pittsburgh people and The Pittsburgh Pirates. I still cry about what happened to him. Just your guest mentioning his name, takes me back like it was yesterday.
“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false” - William Casey Director of the C.I.A. at an early February 1981 meeting of the newly elected President Reagan
Just a point to clarify. He says he came into this country legally and he is correct but he only came into this country because of the US Cuban immigration political policy against Castro. Nothing else. He was not a gifted kid or anything. It was all about policy. So, it would be very easy for anybody who falls under that policy to say "I came into this country legally". Also Felix Rodriguez is from Cuba and falls into the same immigration/political policy. He really sounds like he still part of the agency. The facts he lists and explain and the way he justify actions taken. Agent Bustamante , on the contrary; was well balanced and honest to a point. In the end; I try not to judge things that happened 40 yrs ago with today's standards.
Suppose your blissfully unaware if the corrupt Gov is using your channel as a mis & disinformation platform, but anyone who "used" to be in the CIA, is more than likely, not "ex-CIA"
Yeah, I lived in a orphanage, so poor we lived 5 deep in an efficiency apartment, air force para-rescue, fireman/medic, joined the CIA, college degree, lived in the jungle for three years, eventually became a deputy director for CIA... oh wait.... I forgot one thing, I delivered 2 babies. Slacker!
CIA was running opium through Laos and Cambodia when we were only "supposed" to be in Vietnam. Just because he might not have personally done it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

the way he says theres no eyes in north korea, lol what a joke and this guy lies so much both to others and himself that he thinks hes better at it than he is.....
103.50 running time. He 10 or 15 mins ago stated they were not involved. He may never have been. Yet someone is. If I was to walk in my house to get a drink of water, and while I was in there a dump truck backs up to my door and turns out a load of gravel and takes off. Now let's just pretend I couldn't hear this going on, I finish my drink and take off to go out my door, and I can't get out. Just from the volume of gravel there I can know a dump truck was used, only way it's possible in time given for this volume to appear. Now ask yourself this, because surprisingly the volume of the drug supply rarely comes up short. They do dry out every once in a while, but it's nowhere near as often as you think. Just because the volume is there with the drugs, it would take a 747 max loaded with drugs probably 3 or 4 times a day just to keep the flow going. They appetite of users across this country it might even be 10x that number but were certain it couldn't be less, because that volume has shown up regularly. Doesn't matter you didn't hear the plane's ever nor ever see any crew. The plane, train, truck of ship either delivered that volume because it's here, or all these children should know their wrong denying God because that volume manifests from miraculous events. Wouldn't you agree that if planes, trains, trucks and ships can be covered and denied, then someone, or group of them, with power and control from the government could be the only way. It's a fact of our reality this goes on. The daily overdoses prove that volume is here. I don't know who and I don't know how, and I pray it's not the CIA. Yet did they not just pay and cover with dark money events on January 6th, that which they intended to deny. So we also know they paid for that not by government documented distributed funds. If we had that paper trail we could walk right up to the kingpins. So what if they are using the trucks, all while the border is open as the distraction. There are no miracles, just a distraction so things can happen unseen. But knowing it's magic and magic is not real means there's a loaded vehicle arriving somewhere. Only way enough drugs show up to be able to have that volume.
Without Actually Having Been THERE: You Simply Can’t Imagine the Avenues the Complexity One Has to Work With To Complete The Different Types of Missions
2:29:30.....the GS 14 FBI agent was Ed Goetz. Only a few FBI agents worked at Alec Station, Mark Rossini, Doug Miller, Margert Gillespie, and Ed Goetz. They were from John O Neill's I-49 unit. Also, the CIA most certainly with held information intentionally from the FBI. For example, a cable came in March 2000 about two Al Qaeda operatives, Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, whom the CIA had been monitoring, with assistance from NSA, who had dual US visas and coming to the United States from a high level Al Qaeda meeting in Malaysia. Doug Miller read this cable, and drafted a central intelligence report (CIR) to warn FBI HQ about their arrival. However, they needed approval for the Deputy Chief of Alec Station, Tom Wilshire to get the CIR approved. Wilshire told his lead analyst involved in monitoring an Al Qaeda communications hub in Yemen, Michelle Anne Casey, to hold off per Wilshire. The CIR was never sent. Rossini went to inquire to Casey about why the CIR was never sent, according to Rossini, Casey told him "It is not an FBI matter, if we want to share the information with the FBI we will let you know." This information was never shared with the FBI until August 21st 2001. By then it was much too late, and the FBI opened an intelligence file on al-Mihdhar but couldnt find him. So Ric Prado is not being fully truthful here in regards to CIA mishandling the al-Mihdhar and al-Hazmi case. They intentionally with held this information from the FBI and even committed perjury before the 9/11 Commission because DCI George Tenet, told the commission nobody read the cable Over 55 CIA officers and analysts read that cable and never told anyone from FBI, State Department or the National Security Counsel Also, Prado is stating the CIA is not allowed to operate inside the United States This is true. Yet, the latest Donald Canestraro document, from the Office of Military Commissions, state that CIA and Saudi intelligence were running an illegal covert operation monitoring al-Mihdhar and al-Hazmi inside the United States
Great comment, just saw that story.... crazy! CIA has become impossible to hold accountable. They literally run propaganda in our own country and don't care enough to hide it. Any narrative they want to disseminate goes like this (probably slight oversimplification): 1) someone within the CIA tells a reporter situation X might be true. 2) reporter writes story about situation X per source from the inside 3) CIA uses story as evidence for situation X 4) continue feedback loop until there is enough evidence to justify whatever the fuck it is they want to do
So he was involved in tracking down bin laden..... Did he know he was sending the seals to their death? The largest single day casualty of the war, they were shot down with a stinger stolen from a Saudi country, trafficked thru Benghazi. (we know from tracing the serial #) To hide the fact bin laden was swapped last minute with a double at the Pakistani safe house. This is why head of cia John Brennan, Obama, etc had a Muslim burial at sea ... there's no such thing Here is the full story, allegedly his double was disposed of in pieces over the Hindu Kush mountains Skip the first 5 min and u will see Alan parrot explain to the Noe family why their son died in Benghazi. It is all connected go figure czcams.com/video/pQ9EwSKeg8Y/video.html
They planned it entirely a splinter cell in the CIA.... His hands clearly aren't clean which may be why he's not outright admitting everything..... But he prob did agree to testify against whomever faced court martials hence how we all know this info and he's free to speak today like this My personal opinion
It always makes me laugh when I hear a Cuban born immigrant talk about immigration. especially when they start talking about the great American melting pot. Miami is about as diverse as salt lake City Utah. 😂
Great video interview. I'm 58 and am still having trouble keeping up with all these names. Could you throw some photos of these guys up as they get mentioned to assist us old guys? Lol
I found out about the SAD (SAC) part of the CIA when I was about 14-15yo and thought what I solidly feel now after this podcast. That’s the most epic career on this planet per my teenager thoughts back then. This is top 3 if not the best interview I’ve ever heard with a grain of salt, thank you!

And what about all the shit these guys do that makes us LESS safe? They fucked up everything they ever touched and this guys acting like we owe them some debt of gratitude.
His book is excellent--I couldn't put it down, think I read it in one day. He lived a great life, very interesting guy. Hero is thrown around alot, he is one. Thanks for all your service Ric and to others reading this comment-buy his book, you won't be sorry.
Speaking of being an American. My family has been in America since probably around the Carolina's being established. I had a great+++ uncle who as a Major in the Civil War. My family is very pro American. And this guy is a real old school American. People like him are the only immigrants we need in this country.
Just at the beginning of this conversation, I wish the young people of America knew how good they have it, and would educate themselves on what communism does to a country. There are so many great things about USA , but some( not all) youngsters these days take that for granted. This man, Ric Prada has a lot to teach. Take note. I thank you for your story.

Another agent who will say we don't do that. When the whole time we know they do do those things. He's the type of person who believes that the corruption and illegal stuff our government does is justified.
def respect Ric for his past and dedication to the US. although, i would expect our "agencies" mouths water over individuals like Ric. capable of sending these no questions asked people to senseless self inflicted terrible scenarios-
As children we went to the Saturday matinee, it was either the cowboys in white hats against the native Americans or the cowboys in white hats against the land barons stealing land from the poor farmers and ranchers. As a teenager and military brat, I grew up in the far east and Turkey. As an adult I went to university, joined the Peace Corps, learned to speak Spanish and then lived more than 30 years in Central and South America. I visited every country in Central America and South America and lived and worked in many. Ric Prado appears sincere, but he is as out of touch with reality as those cowboys wearing white hats in a Saturday matinee. I always wondered why CIA were called "the white shoe boys?" Now I know. My suggestion, in fairness, is to interview a Native American and a land baron, but that's not going to happen, is it? It never happened in a Saturday matinee. I watched and waited, are podcasts different? I'll be watching and waiting.
This man is a TRUE PATRIOT! The reality is you have to get stuff done to protect America not matter what, and he exemplifies that ideal! This should BE A MOVIE!!!❤🇺🇲❤🇺🇲❤🇺🇲❤❤
This dude is a man of honor, he was not involved in torture or drug smuggling. That's not to say the CIA wasn't involved in those things. We know they were. But this guy is a old school operations officer and I'm willing to give him some leeway in his blind allegiance to the agency.
Ric had me till he refused to speak of the cia involved w/drug trafficking & narcos. Think about how cartels were able to get so powerful. Not just paying off local politicians & police but also cia & dea
Just saying, he can't say that absolutely everyone treats informants/resources well in the CIA, especially throughout history. Seems a bit of a naieve generalization..
He brought tears to my eyes. Just hearing him telling the stories of him as a teenager he owes this country and how he and his friends protected the flag, how he saw it in the sky. You do not hear many young people saying this or seeing it the way he does.
You’re a simpleton aren’t you, maybe yiu should read up on the cruelty of the Batista Regime he so clearly favors and the reasons for the Cuban Revolution. You know nothing whatsoever. Ignorance is such bliss I guess. Reality is too complicated for you.
This is so very sad. This life is filled with violence and trauma. He ran with a "rough" crowd which were cops so he goes into the only life he known. The fact he says he was proud of doing violence my heart broke for him. So very very sad.
He was proud of doing violence on the part of the country he emigrated to and loved dearly. He is one of the guys that moves in the night and takes out the people that wish harm upon people like us. Good on him
Some men were born/made to be warriors. So long as they use that aptitude for violence to protect those who cannot protect themselves, they have every right to be proud (although too much pride for anything is not good). I for one, am grateful men like that have (and still do ) exist because the ones who use violence against the weak always will
This is why females are not in combat positions. “Violence and trauma” is what keeps our country from being invaded. He’s 100% not fazed by the life he’s lived.
I was thinking the same thing. When you go out of your way to make a rival economic system fail and then when it fails, you ask, why isn't it working.....you wonder what is really going on. Let the two systems run without any negative attempts to make the other fail, then you can get a better sense of what is better.
Thing is the USA really helped Castro and the Communists stay in power. If they hadn't had such a hardline stance, trade and cultural exchange would work in our favor. Latin America is very nationalistic, Castro really stayed afloat on the fact he was the one guy willing to thumb his nose to the US.
I was just in the process of watching this video from the beginning and I'm seeing all of the comments saying that he denied the CIA involvement in the drug trade and now I'm not even gonna bother to watch it cuz if he can deny that, he will deny anything lmao!!! Thanks for saving me from wasting a whole lot of time 😂😂

Bro it seems like you didn't listen to him properly.He said he came here as a kid and it is pretty much what happens for immigrant kids even now.
The people who he is actually criticizing are those grown ups who don't do what his parents did. His parents literally waited in a communist country that had ample motive to hang them.

@@marka9261ok spook 😂
@@marka9261 I suggest you research what's happening with David Grusch who was tasked with reporting to Congress on UAPs. In 2022, Grusch filed a complaint with the U.S. Office of the Intelligence Community Inspector General so that he could share classified information with the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. In July 2022 the ICIG found his complaint to be "credible and urgent". If you have to file an ICIG complaint to share information with the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, does that sound like oversight to you?
He didn’t even make it to the 2nd minute 😂
This interview is the CIA countering John Kiriakou’s interview on this pod
You can even feel John censoring himself quite a few times
Both are lying sociopaths and John a severe dunning Kruger smug dick aswell
That was my first thought. The CIA said, "well get out there and remind the American people that we save the world from commies and terrorists every single day!"
Yah I don’t think imma waste time watching this guy lmao.
You know how they do 🙄
The CIA absolutely dealt drugs.
CIA is part of KiKis's death, and it wasn't Felix being considered as an informant.
and part of JFK's death & behind the Nazi regime ....and .....and ....much more
That’s how the cartels we’re basically made
I gave you a thumbs up because you are correct. "Felix Rodriguez aka Max Gomez" should have gone to prison. Kiki's death was a direct result of protecting the drug trade.
This ..,
What proof do you have of this? Sounds like you’re and unhinged schizophrenic.
Dude says the Cia doesn't have to follow laws if ordered by president nd Danny follows with " tell me about your childhood"
Danial is a duffer.
danny isn't retarded.
In the first 5 minutes when he said the drug running never happened, I love this podcast but not even wasting my time on this one.
The interview ain't even started and this mf already lying. That's how you know he is CIA. 🤣
So why is he saying the cia never ran drugs??? Had he forgot it’s been laid out in pen and paper saying they were?

UNBELIEVABLE BU!! $H!T! **KNOW THIS The people at the top, the ones sitting with the [Have Mores] knew exactly where Bin Ladin was the entire time! They waited for the last plane out (with the Bin Ladins) on board, before they shut down the planes. Then, they practically gave him an armed escort out of the mountains into Pakistan. Shrek the retired Seargent Major talks about how he and a select handful got to shoot/fire nearly one of everything we have in our arsenal. Including the MOAB! As they/we were flexing, shooting off all our bottle rockets into the valley, Bin Ladin and his entourage quietly and safely stepped out the back door, as the world watched. He practically had an army guard his six as he went through the chain of safe houses! Special measures were taken to make sure he and his peeps got out safely.
The Bush/Cheney regime had agreements in place, that as long as they held office, or had hands on the controls Bin Ladin would not be harmed!
I'm sure this will be erased, and it sickens me to know where this "free" country is headed. The only thing that sets us apart from N Korea is... Our propaganda machine has better funding and the producers have much better scripts [world-class writers]!

thats how they think. “it was possible when i did it. i bought a house making $2 an hour, therefore you arent working hard enough. america is great!”
WTF is he talking about CIA not selling drugs?! Am I crazy?
1 thing i learned about cia ppl is they always standup for the agency no matter what retired or employed, cant trust there words.

There was a bridge near our stadium and I believe that it was named after him. I moved out of state but I will never forget his contribution to the Pittsburgh people and The Pittsburgh Pirates. I still cry about what happened to him. Just your guest mentioning his name, takes me back like it was yesterday.
“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false” - William Casey Director of the C.I.A. at an early February 1981 meeting of the newly elected President Reagan
2:26 The person he mentions Billy Waugh, his life, career and story is nothing short but incredible.
Just a point to clarify. He says he came into this country legally and he is correct but he only came into this country because of the US Cuban immigration political policy against Castro. Nothing else. He was not a gifted kid or anything. It was all about policy. So, it would be very easy for anybody who falls under that policy to say "I came into this country legally".
Also Felix Rodriguez is from Cuba and falls into the same immigration/political policy.
He really sounds like he still part of the agency. The facts he lists and explain and the way he justify actions taken.
Agent Bustamante , on the contrary; was well balanced and honest to a point.
In the end; I try not to judge things that happened 40 yrs ago with today's standards.
You have alot of CIA guests. Makes a guy wonder.....hard
Suppose your blissfully unaware if the corrupt Gov is using your channel as a mis & disinformation platform, but anyone who "used" to be in the CIA, is more than likely, not "ex-CIA"

did he just say the CIA follow the "rules"? WTF
He was making the comparison between people coming into this country legally or illegally….”O I know my neighbor runs an AirBnB”
CIA was running opium through Laos and Cambodia when we were only "supposed" to be in Vietnam. Just because he might not have personally done it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

As someone that has worked near to these people before, you broke his balls and made him regret the last 2 hours 21 minutes and 46 seconds of the interview at this point.
the way he says theres no eyes in north korea, lol what a joke and this guy lies so much both to others and himself that he thinks hes better at it than he is.....
103.50 running time. He 10 or 15 mins ago stated they were not involved. He may never have been. Yet someone is. If I was to walk in my house to get a drink of water, and while I was in there a dump truck backs up to my door and turns out a load of gravel and takes off. Now let's just pretend I couldn't hear this going on, I finish my drink and take off to go out my door, and I can't get out. Just from the volume of gravel there I can know a dump truck was used, only way it's possible in time given for this volume to appear.
Now ask yourself this, because surprisingly the volume of the drug supply rarely comes up short. They do dry out every once in a while, but it's nowhere near as often as you think. Just because the volume is there with the drugs, it would take a 747 max loaded with drugs probably 3 or 4 times a day just to keep the flow going. They appetite of users across this country it might even be 10x that number but were certain it couldn't be less, because that volume has shown up regularly. Doesn't matter you didn't hear the plane's ever nor ever see any crew. The plane, train, truck of ship either delivered that volume because it's here, or all these children should know their wrong denying God because that volume manifests from miraculous events.
Wouldn't you agree that if planes, trains, trucks and ships can be covered and denied, then someone, or group of them, with power and control from the government could be the only way.
It's a fact of our reality this goes on. The daily overdoses prove that volume is here.
I don't know who and I don't know how, and I pray it's not the CIA. Yet did they not just pay and cover with dark money events on January 6th, that which they intended to deny. So we also know they paid for that not by government documented distributed funds. If we had that paper trail we could walk right up to the kingpins.
So what if they are using the trucks, all while the border is open as the distraction. There are no miracles, just a distraction so things can happen unseen. But knowing it's magic and magic is not real means there's a loaded vehicle arriving somewhere. Only way enough drugs show up to be able to have that volume.
They would not have to do those things if our government would stay out of everyones business and do the job they were elected for.

Without Actually Having Been THERE: You Simply Can’t Imagine the Avenues the Complexity One Has to Work With To Complete The Different Types of Missions
2 mins in and I’m question his truth.
2:29:30.....the GS 14 FBI agent was Ed Goetz. Only a few FBI agents worked at Alec Station, Mark Rossini, Doug Miller, Margert Gillespie, and Ed Goetz. They were from John O Neill's I-49 unit. Also, the CIA most certainly with held information intentionally from the FBI. For example, a cable came in March 2000 about two Al Qaeda operatives, Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, whom the CIA had been monitoring, with assistance from NSA, who had dual US visas and coming to the United States from a high level Al Qaeda meeting in Malaysia. Doug Miller read this cable, and drafted a central intelligence report (CIR) to warn FBI HQ about their arrival.
However, they needed approval for the Deputy Chief of Alec Station, Tom Wilshire to get the CIR approved. Wilshire told his lead analyst involved in monitoring an Al Qaeda communications hub in Yemen, Michelle Anne Casey, to hold off per Wilshire. The CIR was never sent. Rossini went to inquire to Casey about why the CIR was never sent, according to Rossini, Casey told him "It is not an FBI matter, if we want to share the information with the FBI we will let you know." This information was never shared with the FBI until August 21st 2001. By then it was much too late, and the FBI opened an intelligence file on al-Mihdhar but couldnt find him.
So Ric Prado is not being fully truthful here in regards to CIA mishandling the al-Mihdhar and al-Hazmi case. They intentionally with held this information from the FBI and even committed perjury before the 9/11 Commission because DCI George Tenet, told the commission nobody read the cable Over 55 CIA officers and analysts read that cable and never told anyone from FBI, State Department or the National Security Counsel
Also, Prado is stating the CIA is not allowed to operate inside the United States This is true. Yet, the latest Donald Canestraro document, from the Office of Military Commissions, state that CIA and Saudi intelligence were running an illegal covert operation monitoring al-Mihdhar and al-Hazmi inside the United States
Great comment, just saw that story.... crazy! CIA has become impossible to hold accountable. They literally run propaganda in our own country and don't care enough to hide it. Any narrative they want to disseminate goes like this (probably slight oversimplification): 1) someone within the CIA tells a reporter situation X might be true. 2) reporter writes story about situation X per source from the inside 3) CIA uses story as evidence for situation X 4) continue feedback loop until there is enough evidence to justify whatever the fuck it is they want to do

Did he know he was sending the seals to their death?
The largest single day casualty of the war, they were shot down with a stinger stolen from a Saudi country, trafficked thru Benghazi. (we know from tracing the serial #)
To hide the fact bin laden was swapped last minute with a double at the Pakistani safe house.

Hello and good damn
In October 2013, two former DEA agents and a pilot who allegedly flew for the CIA claimed to the Mexican journal Proceso and to the US network Fox News that the CIA had been "complicit" in the murder of DEA agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena in 1985 and that Félix Ismael Rodríguez Mendigutia had played a role.

As children we went to the Saturday matinee, it was either the cowboys in white hats against the native Americans or the cowboys in white hats against the land barons stealing land from the poor farmers and ranchers. As a teenager and military brat, I grew up in the far east and Turkey. As an adult I went to university, joined the Peace Corps, learned to speak Spanish and then lived more than 30 years in Central and South America. I visited every country in Central America and South America and lived and worked in many.
Ric Prado appears sincere, but he is as out of touch with reality as those cowboys wearing white hats in a Saturday matinee. I always wondered why CIA were called "the white shoe boys?" Now I know.
My suggestion, in fairness, is to interview a Native American and a land baron, but that's not going to happen, is it? It never happened in a Saturday matinee. I watched and waited, are podcasts different? I'll be watching and waiting.
This man is a TRUE PATRIOT! The reality is you have to get stuff done to protect America not matter what, and he exemplifies that ideal! This should BE A MOVIE!!!❤🇺🇲❤🇺🇲❤🇺🇲❤❤
He worked as a hitman for the Cuban mob, you love a psychopath who killed kids, congratulations
This dude is a man of honor, he was not involved in torture or drug smuggling. That's not to say the CIA wasn't involved in those things. We know they were. But this guy is a old school operations officer and I'm willing to give him some leeway in his blind allegiance to the agency.
That’s exactly the problem, blind allegiance
Ew why?
Yeah I hear you. Gotta respect Heinrich Himmler for his blind dedication to the cause too, right?🙄
People think any 1 person from the company knows everything or was involved in everything.
Ric had me till he refused to speak of the cia involved w/drug trafficking & narcos. Think about how cartels were able to get so powerful. Not just paying off local politicians & police but also cia & dea
Does this guy not know this is on the internet??? Who does he think he's convincing?
Buddy played you like a fiddle😂😂😂
Just saying, he can't say that absolutely everyone treats informants/resources well in the CIA, especially throughout history. Seems a bit of a naieve generalization..
He brought tears to my eyes.
Just hearing him telling the stories of him as a teenager he owes this country and how he and his friends protected the flag, how he saw it in the sky.
You do not hear many young people saying this or seeing it the way he does.
You’re a simpleton aren’t you, maybe yiu should read up on the cruelty of the Batista Regime he so clearly favors and the reasons for the Cuban Revolution. You know nothing whatsoever. Ignorance is such bliss I guess. Reality is too complicated for you.

They literally only hire sociopaths
This guy is the type of dude to make the cia sound boring
This is so very sad. This life is filled with violence and trauma. He ran with a "rough" crowd which were cops so he goes into the only life he known. The fact he says he was proud of doing violence my heart broke for him. So very very sad.
He was proud of doing violence on the part of the country he emigrated to and loved dearly. He is one of the guys that moves in the night and takes out the people that wish harm upon people like us. Good on him
Some men were born/made to be warriors. So long as they use that aptitude for violence to protect those who cannot protect themselves, they have every right to be proud (although too much pride for anything is not good). I for one, am grateful men like that have (and still do ) exist because the ones who use violence against the weak always will
This is why females are not in combat positions. “Violence and trauma” is what keeps our country from being invaded. He’s 100% not fazed by the life he’s lived.
The cia loves a sociopath with no moral compass
Nah he’s a fucking terrorist and should be dealt with accordingly
This dude is talking about sleeping soundly in our beds? Thanks for telling us some fairytales before I fall asleep.
I would love to see a communist country not under embargo and totally free to trade...Am honestly curious about what would happen.
I was thinking the same thing. When you go out of your way to make a rival economic system fail and then when it fails, you ask, why isn't it working.....you wonder what is really going on. Let the two systems run without any negative attempts to make the other fail, then you can get a better sense of what is better.
Fr. We never fahking have & almost guarantee we never will… but yea, would love to see it as well
Vietnam is what you are looking for
Vietnam. They are doing pretty good.
Thing is the USA really helped Castro and the Communists stay in power. If they hadn't had such a hardline stance, trade and cultural exchange would work in our favor. Latin America is very nationalistic, Castro really stayed afloat on the fact he was the one guy willing to thumb his nose to the US.
