CIA Spy On WW3, Jeffrey Epstein, Israel-Hamas, AI & Social Media Brainwashing | Andrew Bustamante 

WARNING: I will never ask for your contact info in the comments section, that is someone impersonating me!

When your guest said in the first two minutes that the Vietnam war brought us together: that should have been a huge red flag for anyone who was listening and was alive in the sixties and seventies. That comment was patently wrong.

This guy is not retired. They just moved him into Media Affairs Department or what ever they call it.

People who think that they know better than everyone else, is our existential threat!

The only thing you can trust about Bustamante is that he is not trustworthy

This is classic preprogramming - they are telling you what they plan to do and preparing you to accept it. There is no such thing as ex-CIA.

"When everything the American people believes is false, we will have accomplished our mission." ~ William Casey, CIA director, 1982

One thing I have to respect Andrew for is that he is one of the few people I encountered who are aware of the relationship between analysis and synthesis.

As soon as internet black out I wonder how Americans all of us are going to do. How about no electricity all over the USA? No water, no air conditioning. Food, transportation etc etc. we should think about it.

Whenever the CIA talks to us, I feel like I should look out for manipulation

He lost me at "We are unified when we are attacked..." and then mentioned the Vietnam War. We weren't attacked, and we weren't unified.

Thanks tom for having this guest on your show and exposing him. 👍😂

Taking Debate in High school really helped me with the breakdown of both sides. Every school should require this. It makes you argue both sides. For or against. It also forces you to listen to the opposition. Really listen. Great episode!

You lost me at, “we were unified for the Vietnam war.”

2:36:56 "Social Media is not news." Hate to break it to you, but news isn't news anymore, either.

Who has three hours to listen to one podcast. The guest is precious but without timestamps I am not motivated to listen. Time is so precious.....

Mr. CIA’s legit crying face when he laughs 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭😂

When he said Haley for president I realized he was promoting propaganda from the military industrial complex. Considering her family owns a military consulting firm who directly benefits from war, and he obviously knows that since he's so informed and trained

I really truly believe when someone says: I will be honest with you.. that tell me you have not been honest at all....

*On Hamas, my questions for A.B* ◾️ _If IDF not attacking West Bank in generality._ ◾️ _If Gaza government authority = Hamas._ ◾️ _If the non recognition, and then the violent destruction of Israel is what unifies Hamas/ISIS and Fatah._ *Then how else ought Israel to eliminate Hamas after the trauma that was October 7th than how they're currently going about it?*

We were given a list of things on how to turn a country Communist in High School it was very interesting! I seen many of those things happening and still ongoing

The US was unified during the Vietnam War? Are you kidding?

"It is so easy to confuse people" as he talks to a CIA disinformation specialist who claims to be retired. The irony is so thick I can't breath.

Everybody has an opinion but few want the REAL TRUTH.

This was the first time I watched this channel and it was interesting how much Tom talked instead of interviewing.

"When we are attacked it unifies us" 1 min and 30 secs in and the guy is already full of sh**

Tom can't wait till the short clips come out on this 3 hr podcast. But I've watched this entire podcast to get a full understanding & not partial info that could be misleading. With that said I appreciate you and your staff❤

For everyone saying that the vietnam war didn't bring the country together heres some points you may have missed "In August of 1964, after DRV torpedo boats attacked two U.S. destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin, Johnson ordered the retaliatory bombing of military targets in North Vietnam. Congress soon passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which gave Johnson broad war-making powers, and U.S. planes began regular bombing raids, codenamed Operation Rolling Thunder, the following year. ... In March 1965, Johnson made the decision-with solid support from the American public-to send U.S. combat forces into battle in Vietnam. By June, 82,000 combat troops were stationed in Vietnam, and military leaders were calling for 175,000 more by the end of 1965 to shore up the struggling South Vietnamese army..." The war did bring the country together in the very beginning, after the gulf on tonkin, it was after it dragged on and more things came to light that the public began to divide and it lost support. Same thing happened after 9/11. Strong support in the beginning, wavering and division after it dragged on with loss of public support. Just because the vietnam war continued and ended with division and lack of support, doesn't mean the whole timeline was that way. www.history.com/topics/vietnam-war/vietnam-war-history#gulf-of-tonkin

Ah yes! Classic spy! Going on youtube sharing everything. The best spy ever 😅

For a 3 hour interview, Tom you really have to use time stamps for the different topics…

This guy isn’t retired from CIA this guy is dangerous

I am a Palestinian, from 1921 to 1948, I carried a Palestinian passport. There was no such thing in this area as Jews, and Arabs, and Palestinians, There were Jews and Arabs.... Golda Meir

"if everything shut down,we would all unify" WOW we already started off incorrectly.the amount of people that would start looting!

The comment section here is restoring my faith in humanity.

@1:33. Covid certainly didn’t unify us!

1.) This is part conversation with Tom, part session for Tom. This is not an interview. 2.) I have a similar sense of mistrust with Andrew that many commenters mention, however I still find myself tuning in when he is a guest because there is often at least one 'nugget' that he has not shared before that I can find useful.

I completely disagree- when all the media sources agree with each other - that’s when you know for sure they’re lying!

People started killing each other 2 days after Hurricane Katrina with limited access to snacks

Why, during this whole conversation, none of them mentions that IF Palestine/Hamas would quit attacking Israel they may be able to sit down at some point and negotiate a peace or even a dual state as a good neighbor.

A lot of other countries don't get that Americans are good people who help each other, but also - hello - are first to help a country in need

Every time a hear about a former CIA spy, I'm like 🤔 There's no such thing as a "former" CIA spy! 😉

The pitch for Nikki Haley just told me he still works for the CIA

Bustamante discussing about Haley while saying Biden or Trump are bad calls and there’s no good candidate stumps me. My understanding about 2020 election was a vote for Trump was voting for nuclear war with Russia. Fast forward to today in my news feed showed me ‘Putin orders tactical nuclear weapons drill.’ And it’s under Biden’s watch! Then Bustamante says he’s leaving America to raise his family? What good is the move when the world is a nuclear wasteland?

I am 30 seconds into watching this video and I’ll make a wild speculation that at some point in the next 3 hours, there will be a discussion how invading our privacy is “the right thing to do”.

There won't be much unity when the food is gone.

I love him for having courage and being pro Israel. Having served in Afghanistan, not the same, but I feel the same. Lots at stake here folks. People deserve better, especially the Palestinians.

TIME STAMPS: We "pause" the video. Then we rewind or forward a bit to pop up the partitioned timestamps ... labeled and noted on the timeline. [4.13.24]

I love when “ex” CIA are allowed to be “ex” and talk out loud 🙄😆

At this point, I don't trust anyone that comes out of one of the three letter agencies. Once a Fed, always a Fed.

First I want to say thank you for such a an indepth interview with Andrew. He brings to the table so much insight into human nature and current world events. However, on the topic of factual information I see there is information on the war between Israel and Hamas that is missing in your interview and is begging to be part of the conversation. As someone who has had personal discussions with Palestinians AND Israelites, as well as knowledge of historical Jewish peoples going back to when they were NOT Jewish. Here is the facts: The Palestinian people know that the Jewish occupation in the land that was stolen from them, they were NOT the family that left the land. The people they left the land were in fact Hebrew in culture and religion. The people who occupy now, are actually the Kazarian peoples from Kazakhstan who were displaced by the warlords of the time. Those peoples migrated to occupy Germany. They were approached by the Vatican Pope at the time to adopt the Hebrew religion and such Zionist religion was formed (again) as we see modern day Israel. The Palestinians know this. They know that these people are not the family that was originally on the land. Which adds to the confusion. I'm not trying to be anti-Semitic about this fact, because I see both sides are just peoples who are trying to live in peace. Average Palestinians say, just let them have it so we can live in peace. In general, the Israelites are not aware of who they really are. They have been strung along with a bunch of lies inherited from their fathers. Sad indeed. I just wanted to clarify what was missing from the conversation. All this info can be found if the person is willing to dig deep for the facts. Thanks for your work in bringing these subjects to life

Every country under attack is united,not only US, just travel and live in another countries

I was around when my friends were getting drafted. Vietnam was NOT unifying, at all. This guy is full of it.

this well-trained, brilliant, "morally flexible" man is terrifying

You guys handle multiple topics masterfully

Wow!!! Great podcast! So glad I stumbled across your video

Nikki Haley!!?? That is all I needed to hear. It’s not that I trusted him before. It’s just that now I know not to trust anything he says.

Anyone going to talk about why all of a sudden this "ex" CIA spy is all of a sudden our friend spilling the beans?

Most of what he says to watch out for, he does in this very video.

Wow. What a great point about WW3 already starting. Explaining WW2 didn’t feel like it had started until the NAZI’s raged across EU.

This was like watching 2 robots navigate being human.

Tom needs to actually let this guy explain and answer the questions instead of constantly trying to give us his own opinion...

It's like watching dumb and dumber explaining things they think they know really well, but they don't. Very entertaining, you never know what they're going to say next.

"A self-licking ice cream cone." 😂 Both hilarious & accurate!

It does appear for the first 20 minutes, Bustamante is building rapport and reinforcing Tom's alliance as narrator, much like an infomercial. Bustamante knowing there is no way to stop this war, his job as CURRENT CIA, is to get people to not panic and instead, just watch it like an interesting movie. Classic prep, while sounding like you oppose it.

"Why do liars lie? Nobody knows" - Katt Williams

What about the fact that American arms dealers are profiting? I'm not sure American corporations actually want peace.

Love the way these guys just put it out there👏

The CIA man helpfully made it obvious that he was promoting establishment propoganda within the first 2 minutes & saved me wasting time watching a political broadcast.

I knew this guy was a joke as soon as he mentioned Nickey Haley lmao. Once CIA, always CIA. The only way you can retire is with a heart attack.

People...this guy is not a CIA agent. He claimed to have a ring that could detonate a nuke. 🤯

America was never promised forever peace. We have continued as a culture because we have fought wars to maintain. Who says it won't happen again

Vietnam war unifying? You wouldn't see it that way if you were in your 70's.

I enjoyed watching Tom get manipulated by the very techniques they are discussing - in real time !!

I’m really enjoying the interviews with this man. You really give me a needed recharge Tom!

I want to add to the Palestine/Israel situation the important fact that in the beginnings of the migration of European Jews, Zionism, (rather than actual religious Judaism) was and is the main influence. During the mandate period ,British Zionist Jews, were appointed to administer Palestine and although there were people already living in that land, the mandate was created in such a way that fully accommodated the wants and needs of a "Jewish National Home" and access to resources became increasingly difficult for the native peoples as the administrators created the laws that met the needs of Jewish immigrants only and never intended to serve the natives, They have cheated, lied, stolen, killed and disrespected the Native Palestinians with funding, and military support from USA and GB . Israel has become a people bent on eliminating Palestinians and behave like spoiled children whose parents gave them whatever they wanted and never taught them respect, now they don't even realize that genocide is the worst crime anyone can commit.

I think it's interesting that no one is discussing why the Obamas decided to create a film about a civil war in the US in the near future. I have my own ideas, and I can't be the only one thinking about it. A former US president and his wife putting something out like this is beyond bizarre.

We weren't attacked in Vietnam. Either he lied right out of the gate or uninformed

He’s wrong about veracity of information because now it is feed to us 24/7 365 and we can look for it endlessly

Great show Tom!

One of the most damaging forces against progress is the scores of people who position themselves as experts and spread misinformation - whether out of malice or ignorance. This interview is a great example. If you truly want to understand these topics, please be advised to be extremely cautious about any "facts" you come away with after watching this.

My man you live in a world that's contolled in a way that millions of americans are not even prepared to comprehend

Why are so many seemingly intelligent and discriminating podcasters giving this guy oxygen? His knowledge of history is woeful. If this is truly what the CIA is working with then we should all be concerned.

The person that you’re interviewing is not retired. He is a spokesperson for his former-slash-current employer and is sharing information with the public for a specific reason, rather than coaching people to become better salespeople. This role seems beneath him, as his training has taught him that you only need a certain amount of money to live. While he is a smart individual, his lack of honesty is concerning, but perhaps it's just part of his job. If he wanted to make money, he would pursue a different line of work, like selling weapons.

The fact that he supports Nikki Haley showe he's for the military industrial complex. Let's not forget a CIA agent once said " we let the media do the lying for us"

This man is teaching a master course on how to be a Business Sociopath

@TomBilyeu when you said that “maybe it’s my age where everyone pokes their head up” it reminded me of my mom who used to teach us that “don’t you think Allah gave wisdom of Islam to the prophet (P.B.U.H) at age 40 because humans need to experience and learn before they become wise at that age?” That was when we used to be depressed by our mistakes and didn’t believe we could continue beyond a particular mistake. Made sense to me then and still does now.

"self licking ice cream cone " lmfao😊

As a Vietnamese refugee, after he mentioned the Vietnam War, he lost all credibility.

Whenever the CIA says they are protecting the U.S., I immediately start watching MY back!!!

I have never been confused about the truth. People who become confused by information either don't have core beliefs or common sense.

Awesome show! I love Andrew, he has made me feel better about so much. I worry so much about the world.

Elitists are in charge. Red/Blue/Green/Independent they don't care. They fund them all. Their power transcends.

This guy is a master at manipulation.

Imagine you bullied other countries for decades and when all get together to fight you back , you call them bullies 😂

"What if 10 bullies attack you instead of 1?

The CIA is so badass I wish I could work for them. Even as a janitor I don't care. Just to be a part of something so intelligent would be such an honor.

Bustamante is the guy you need when you have a 6 pg paper due in three hours and haven’t started yet. He says a lot and nothing at the same time.

Andrew is recruiting for the CIA lol, Whenever something seems Too Cool or Too Awesome my spider sense start tingling and how he describes working for the CIA is just that. There is no way on earth it's that Rosy.

this was great, thanks
