Tom Bilyeu interviews former CIA officers Andrew and Jihi Bustamante about government manipulation tactics, focusing on the intelligence community's role in shaping public opinion through misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation. Andrew Bustamante discusses the Russia collusion narrative, the weaponization of intelligence agencies, and the historical context of presidential appointees. He explains how mass psychosis and the speed of modern media contribute to public manipulation, and he offers insights into how individuals can protect themselves by distrusting government and media, cross-referencing information, and employing spy tradecraft techniques like macro/micro analysis and analysis of competing hypotheses (ACH). The conversation also touches on the lack of safety in the world, the importance of continuous self-improvement, and the challenges of discerning truth in a landscape of constant spin.
