Did you buy the book?

Lauren Padgett “Moscow Rules”, yes. I really wanna read “Spy Dust”. How about yourself?

@@krissy7342 yep! I have it! Haven't checked out Spy Dust, yet. I have "the guy who's scared of wolves or something" that comes out on Monday. I will put it in the next up list! Tldr? I wanted to hear more about Jonna and Tony and their relationship and how different it was from normal stuff. That would be a good read. "How to have friends and relationships when it's classified"

Ok

Oh, she's absolutely brilliant.

I wasnt aware, this was CIA's promotion clip. Thx.

@@janezjonsa3165 aa1aàaàaaaàààaaà

Yes, that is true

Classy Badass!

The CIA is historically the most incompetent bunglers of evil meddling. Making America the bully of the world.

You've lost me completely. How? As long as the CIA is a free agent and not a tool in Victoria Nudelman's moronic political games I see no problem. The problem starts when your agents are forced to embrace Bandera or Zelensky or learn the bloody personal pronouns. I would like to believe ( to naively hope ) that this is why Aunt Jonna retired instead of becoming the Head of the CIA.

​@@tatianalyulkin410 Nobody enforces beliefs on anyone. That's not how it works. Zelenskyy is a political figure, like him or not, nobody cares. Bandera is a rhetorical and historical figure, it has a different meaning for the Ukrainians, they fought against the Nazis and ultimately against the Soviets. Their ancestors had to switch sides, the only option to save the survival of their nation, almost like Norway's people did. This has nothing to do with the well-meaning and healthy people of today's Ukraine.

having a fascinating and well paying job is not being selflessly.

I have always been independent and not a fan of Trump, can't stand to hear him speak but after what I seen from 2016 till now. It exposed these swamp creatures in DC and especially the media. People like Comey, Clapper, McCade, Rice and especially the Clintons are corrupt as can be. They are the true threat to this country. The four wealthiest counties surround Washington DC. Why are government officials getting stupid rich from lobbyists? These people aren't working for us, they are working for themselves. She said she tries not to get political but slammed Trump and praised Obama. I voted for Clinton the first time and then realized what a piece of garbage he was and especially Hillary. I voted for Bush and realized what an idiot he was and Cheney ran the country from behind the scenes and got us into trillions in debt and lined his pockets from the war contracts. I didn't vote in 2004 because both Bush and Kerry were slime. I voted for Obama his first term then realized what a piece of garbage his truly was. I didn't vote in 2012 because both Obama and Romney were garbage. I don't like Trump but have to be honest in evaluating that he did more for America than any other president. He tried to make life better for the common men, women and especially the country. Looking back at it now if I was in his shoes, I would be cautious of everyone in DC as well. You can't believe everything you read or see these days so who really knows the truth. I am sure he read the briefs, if not the powers that be at the head of these institutions and military would have worked behind the scenes to get him out quickly. It was the head of the NSA who visited him in Trump tower right after the election and informed that the CIA, FBI and Obama administration was spying on him. They found the bugs. People who were involved testified it was true. That is scary that these people did it in the first place and got away with it. What I am seeing is this country is going downhill quickly because of people in power thinking and making stupid decisions only thinking of themselves. The future doesn't look bright from what I am seeing. It is just getting worse and worse and worse. Other folks my age and I discuss these things going on and never would have foreseen what is happening 20, 30 and especially 40 years ago. We all agree that we feel sorry for our kids and grandkids because they are in for a world of hurt. It is going to get bad, very bad. Maybe that's what we need so we can wake up and turn it around or parish because we lost our way. Either way of the outcome, we here in the US are in for a world of hurt. It's coming.

I too am non partisan. I found obamas speach on his presidential order about a "special transition team" to be alarming. People didnt believe me that something weird was about to happen. Then it did. The speech is hard to find now, but it was one of his last. To look for what he wrote, it turns out that presisential orders (not executive orders) are extremely classified and most do not even list the title, and many do not even list its number. However the same page (whitehouse dot gov) does admit they are sequencially ordered so when a number is listed, you know how many have been written since. I just did not expect 4 years of media attack. I eected something simply with the transition and beginning like an immediate attack and removal. I already had issues with changes in the news since bush, and this cemented it as it got 100 times worse overnight

Imagine having the money to retire doing whatever you want. You have a loving family, your health and because of your success and love of country you decide to run for President in order to help/protect/give back to the forgotten families in our great Republic. The working folks. AKA the deplorables. Keep imagining what President Trump must have felt when the head of the NSA, Admiral Mike Rogers, met with him and told him he/his campaign had been spied on by the same folks that swore an oath to serve and protect this great nation from enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. The top dogs in our government agencies saw what one man could possibly pull off by getting elected and calling them out...Comey, Brennan, Rosenstein, and the Clinton machine to name a few. He could upset the apple cart like no other. No more lining each others pockets. It must have been terrifying for them. Democrats AND Republicans as they are all alike. Uniparty sound familiar? Imagine a man capable of ENDING and NOT starting new wars (first time in 40 years) and bringing home our soldiers. Our young men and women not being killed and maimed for change. Imagine how embarrassed ALL those diplomats must have been when President Trump went over their heads exposing their uselessness and made real the possibility of peace in the middle east. Many of the above successes surprised even those of us that voted for President Trump. Imagine, that for once in many, many years, you were told the truth repeatedly and chose to turn your back. May God bless and keep you and yours. God bless our wonderful country. Peace

Thank you for this interesting comment.

Tell that to the mk ultra victims.

@@edgelord7906 Truth right there. The things we know were apparently the tamest parts of operation MKUltra. The shit that would have tainted the agency's name were destroyed as ordered by the director. He even is quoted as saying to destroy the evidence that would be detrimental to the agency. They likely killed innocent civilians in attempts to learn how to control the mind and make manchurian candidates.

@@harpiessnow check out the recent book by Tom O'Neill, "Chaos: The Sixties, Manson and the CIA". I may have the title wrong, but definitely written by Tom O'Neill. There are more than a few civilians gone missing or died mysteriously at the hands of Jolly West and other "patriots".

So, where we ever free…?!

Why when the author was British Naval Intelligence? He was most likely aquatinted with the OSS

I would dare to assume it's also true for the KGB/FSB officers. Remember the scene in RED DAWN when Jenny's character was almost raped by the Soviet soldiers, her PTSD is off the charts- yet Jed sends her to plant the bomb anyhow? There is no way in hell I would I allowed it. People like Jenny and myself who were scared for life by the Bolshevik bespredel have no business being in the field. When you watch Soviet war movies, you're like, " Those agents have the nerves of Vibranium " because when they interact with the German officers it's like they truly believe they've come to liberate " us " from the Bolsheviks. " Officer! Can you help me please? I do believe I'm hopelessly lost. "

@@commonwealthclubworldaffairs Thanks.

Unless she's wearing a full mask and fat suit, and then it would be the only clothes she has in that size? She denied it too fast - hmm she would have covered up the distinctive veins on her feet tho, so maybe not haha

Was the tidy wrap-up of starting with reference to he garb, and ending with a recall implied by cut from same cloth, was that deliberately planned, unrealised, or a happy serendipity that you noticed once you'd written it?!

Same

From what I can tell, she was on tour with her book during this period and simply packed (and wore) the easiest, simplest, most effective looking outfits. Just makes sense. If you need something more, you buy it locally.

She dealt with the KGB in Moscow during the cold war. She's a national treasure. Good luck meeting her.

Ive seen her in a cream coloured jacket and and all brown/ bronze ensemble. Her outfits for speaking events and what not seem tailored and high quality so I imagine she wears them more than once. And to add to that i doubt flashy and materialistic are typical character traits for a cia agent. She is all class this lady. Much respect!

Love the green!

She's part of an imperialist capitalist cabal of killers, what's not to like?!

Might want to keep that info to yourself, if you're aiming to be a CIA paramilitary. Heh

You do realize that the same people writing those briefs are the same deep state actors that were spying on his campaign and working against him? We have the email correspondence. We know the truth now. He knew he couldn't trust them. You may write all that off as "conspiracy theory," because you're an insider and know the real truth, but that's what he believes. I think we can both agree on that. So if you were president and believed the "deep state" (the people in positions of power in the CIA, NSA, FBI etc.) were against you, would you read the briefs?

Drew Yazbeck Blessings sir. NCSWIC God bless America.

@@drew7155 Oh boy, "Deep State". Let me put my tinfoil hat on. A president who refuses to read daily intelligence briefings is all part of the master plan, I'm sure! w1gga-waga, brother.

Keep up with the research

This is technically a Club meeting so there is a gavel at the beginning and at the end

Most of it is declassified info. She's repeating stuff you can look up, but she does a much better job of it than most of us can just by reading and looking at FOIA stuff. She's great.

Anyone from the agency who writes a book will have it authorized first, everything she says was approved. She lied for the agency, would she lie about it? Maybe not.

@Linus Pauling I would think that practically every effort is taken to ensure that every bit of info that is expressed is that which can become expressed in ways that intend to conceal what could possibly be perceived to be classified. Instead of assessing observations such that an individual becomes only perceivable as a caricature capable of some sorcery over our sense of reality and self (as though they perhaps might project their own paranoias onto the predicted behaviors of perceived enemies in ways that are metaperceivable in ways that seem to form convenient loopholes that end up continuing the eternal multidimensional weaving of the infinite variety of The Emperors New Clothes in order to allow for our interestingly-perceived interesting dilemmas to have only paradoxical-seeming solutions, leading to seemingly extraordinary possibilities for a practically infinite possible number of solutions (cue the dopamine). The true nature of "the" solutions, however, generally ubiquitously involve radically shifting reality paradigms on levels that tend to make the "all-knowing" wise rulers understandably nervous. Understanding full well, on a practical level, the natures of the functions of genuine proverbial Emperor's New Clothes, "disguise", as discussed in declassified reality paradigm arenas by persons who have experienced reality from within [various levels of] classified reality paradigms, can involve flippantly mentioning current patterns in their methodologies as though those same patterns haven't been reworked in order to forever be the current state-of-the-art that becomes ironically mentioned in any presently-occurring "declassified" public discussion of "old" tricks that become humorous sidenote-seeming comments that become the unwitting transparencies in the authentic Emperor's New Clothes, that are always firstly observable by the groups of individuals and peoples who have become misperceived and oppressed by Emperors. The oppressed begin to recognize patterns in that word-salad-weave that remind them of patterns in the weaves that have been directly defined to have been equivalent Emperor's New Clothes patterns in the past, now believed to be able to be jocularly bantered about in "declassified" settings (as though the different levels of classification literally create securely- bounded levels of esotericism, allowing one to become careless in their wannabe self-superiority. It is when the oppressed have become accurately enough consciously aware of their own roles in their own oppression that they, the oppressed, will be less likely to fall for the ol' Emperor's New Clothes schtick that never is not in total effect at all times. (Brought to our inevitable-seeming perceptual awareness by Karma. Serving authentic Truth for as long as deception has been "repurposed" to represent the justly-applicable virtuous power to define Truth and know how to serve "justice" such that Authentic Truth is redefined such that it can be deceptively served and protected. Uh.... I am pretty sure literally EVERY religous scripture is a unique perspective's attempted expression of their particular collective's metaphoric symbolization of their unique misperceptions that had only seemed to become more accurately perceived as a result of catastrophe (sometimes as severe as literal civilization collapse, although we historically suffer collective-consciousness depression resulting in what is perceived to be the tragic death of a culture that also doesn't actually die just because it suddenly isn't able to be suffocated to malevolence through our anxious subconscious attachment to what we believe we perceive it accurately to be... because we are usually dreadfully slow learners whenever the lesson is actually difficult because actual truth is not determinable by who is left standing after being "number one" at "belonging to" collectives who will insist that narcissistically raging against others who demonstrate existentially threatening disloyalty as defined by the cohort's cult rulers, is the only way to save the cohort from annihilation! And just LOOK at all the "freedom" our cohort is acclimated to. Fuckin dreeeeeeeeamy. Do we really want their hate for our freedom to keep us from being able to buy all the freedom-loving toilet paper we could possibly want? Or, we could just learn to observe, finally. Which is needed if you'd like to be capable of perceiving things such as the extreme likelihood that we don't actually fundamentally disagree at all about what we were taught we were "supposed to feel" that we disagree about. If we are actually intelligent enough to actually not need to be told what we should feel and what we should see until we are so god damned unable to squeak out an accurately consciously perceived critical thought that it's just swell that our security is achieved and maintained by ruling cohorts who we believe possess legitimately magical abilities allowing the gloriousness that we, at least in the USA, call "living the fuckin' dream". Where we are inundated by "winner" "successful" types who seek to advance and "make a difference" in what really only "needs" changed due to the continued patterns of ignorances of all previous "rulers" who "oopsied" and gave us the de-fucking-lightful Karmic reality paradigm of today. Yes, all 2 and a half cars with precisely one gallon of gasoline that cost a realistic $3.459 is just... right here awaiting our worthiness to be able to wallow in it. Oh, and it's totally groovy that our current rulers literally cannot be truthful with us without the rulers requiring that we commit suicide. (It's the latest fad! C'mon, be cool! Every collective is doing it. Do you want the [insert appropriate scapegoat as perceived by those who are full-of-shit] to do it first and use it on us? Oh, wait... Shit. We DO THAT shit to ourselves, now. That's right. In the name of "homeland security".... fire up the shower-room ovens, Karen. We're having traitor for supper tonight. Dreeeeamy. (to be continued)

Due to the idealization of the authentic belief that one is to strive to be superior, and that self-superiority is genuinely achievable, and that even the genuinely attempted contemplation of the mere possibility that one could possibly not actually BE wholly superior, due to the installation of HIGHLY dysfunctional bipolar thinking using tortures that allow waterboarding and forced public masturbation to correctly be perceived to exist on the "torture light" end of the spectrum of disgustingness with regard to how cruel we "should feel" a form of torture is. Authentic observation and accurate perception are still the same eternally present goal that can never actually become achieved. Something to remain mindful of, because the attempted justification for the utilization of torture on the "torture light" end of the spectrum will still require remediation, per natural law. And the remediation will need to be accurate, so let's stop pretending words don't have definitions that can be clearly clarified through communication. (complicated when we are to "trust" rulers who we believe must deceive us for our own good). Shall we not use bipolar thinking to simulate "brainstorming" possible remediations and possible implementation methodologies? Pitchforks and torches, tar and feathers... fuckin storming the Capitol building and hanging nooses / erecting guillotines? Ease it up with all the believing that historic Emperor's New Clothes haven't been THOROUGHLY narcissistically prepared for by our snowflake, emotionally insecure, and infantile rulers. Without the virtue signaling of hyper-catastrophization that leads to misperceived existential crises that require expressions of narcissistic rage in order to regain a tolerable sense of balance that can be maintained as long as we can accept that benevolence is able to be expressed against us. In fact, can be and will be expressed in the form of deceit, exploitation, and annihilation against us in a court of law, whether we clicked "I agree" or not. This is actually the best that any individual or any collective with a conscious self-identity that "believes in" one's own fundamental superiority or inferiority can really muster, given the fundamental inability to know that one does not know that one cannot know when one believes that one must know or it causes the perception of existential crises. Not realizing that one has never been able to directly self-observe the self may come as what is perceived to be a shock, and this is a conditioned indoctrinated response. So don't forget to actually think through what is so scary about calling out bullshit and allowing for the calling out of one's OWN bullshit. While we wisely pause to become capable of actually observing to maybe at least try and accurately perceive what's happening precisely right now.... ever, we may discover that our catastrophization contingency plan that would have been launched in ignorance into allegedly necessary defensive action is precisely that which is THE repeated error of history that keeps the errors of history repeating. Meta-errors... used by the bigly winning since they learned that stupid that kills can stay stupid (frankly and with all due respect.). What may appear to be fools in the external not enjoying the same-enough battle-entrenched and battle-ready, perfectly dreamy reality paradigm in ways that do not trigger the infantile emotions of insecurely self-aware individuals who just can't fathom existing without abusive controls keeping them from acting out what they believe they would without the threat of abuse that is perceived to be justice (that no one seems eager to voluntarily expose themselves to because it is so obviously psychotic and dysfunctionally maladaptive.) The same tragic civilization-collapsing attempt to use deceit and abuse to "rehabilitate" others into believing they embody superior without realizing that this indicates the crowning of an Emperor (The "New" Clothes have been put on simultaneously with the intent to crown the self superior, so don't worry... they're never anything other than the most perfect fit for anyone. However, the real set (that every single creature wears as their birthday suit), is not the kind that can have become woven by even the cunningest of disguise designers, although they can functionally emulate some of their functions accidentally, sometimes surprisingly blatantly, and obviously. Especially when one is dismissing others as inferior in order to be able to perceive the self as superior. Viva la Evolution
