It’s amazing how so many of these stories from agents, SEALS, Etc. Rely on just starting your career and being in the “right place at the right time”. Going back to Mr. Burton being assigned right out of agent training. Really makes a point for applying yourself to every available opportunity and putting yourself in the right place at the right time which could put you on quite the adventure in life.

Awesome podcast! I was a contractor for DSS. I had no idea that Admiral Inman was still alive. That is great. We still have a lot of "Inman" embassies around the world.

@aliciajayephillips8274 3 года назад

I Look forward to your podcasts Danger Close every week.

Small world. I was in the second Inman class hired by DSS. At the time we were DOS/SY (Department of State/Office of Security), and yes my interview experience was the same I really didn’t think I passed LOL. Yep BSR was awesome and the immortal “firearms instructor”. I was one of the trainers for Fred’s class and was on the Schultz protective detail. My wife and I collect antiques and Fred and I reconnected when an antique we purchased was the property of a former murder suspect, that Fred had investigated. Like Fred I grew up in the DC area, volunteered at a local Fire department/rescue squad, and was a Baltimore Police officer prior to starting as a DSS agent. As a retired fed I have returned to my roots and work as a Paramedic. Cool interview! Thanks

I was fortunate enough to get access to and begin following Fred Burton's work about 20 years ago. He gave us a look into areas and ideas that were otherwise closed to us, particularly concerning Mexico.

Excellent interview and a treasure trove of information. Thank God we have men like Fred that care enough to protect the United States.

Can’t wait for more Fred. Loved Ric too. Going after Black Ops. Have all of Fred’s thx to you Jack. Blessings to you and yours. Yes, we need heros ….and that they’re people/human too……..something to aspire to….to grow toward…whatever path one is on. Thanks for all you do. ♥️🙏🏻🇺🇸

@garretdozier9596 3 года назад

Very informative. Sounds like we need more of the Fred Burtons in the world.

@chris2956 3 года назад

It's possible that we do. Someone had to fill Fred's position each time he left for a new job. I hope those guys were paying attention.

@maltedttt6826 3 года назад

Take a shot every time Fred says „Jack“ 😁

@davelaubscher8578 3 года назад

DSS is one of the most underrated elements out there. If you are CI, you need to read their products.

Love the podcast... interesting...

@melanieweiss75 3 года назад

Jack, I truly enjoy your podcast. I have grabbed onto this one - something about Fred, his experience, wisdom and intelligence. Ghost was great. I have struggled to find credible info on Benghazi - I am 1/2 way through Under Fire, LEARNING. Chasing Shadows and Beirut Rules to follow. And today Audible suggested “The Ontic Protective Intelligence” Podcast by Fred Burton. 😊 Thank you and looking forward to The Terminal List series. ⭐️🇺🇸⭐️

Very interesting and entertaining! Fred Burton when with STRATFOR kept a close eye and provided commentary on my mail bomber case known as “The Bishop”. Would make a great book/movie.

How does Fred feel about the FBI always being involved before events and other agencies cleaning up their mess before they come in an cover it up???

@seanwhite304 3 года назад

This dude is awesome bro. I live in couple miles from Summit Point Wv . So pretty cool to here that .

@5trutta 3 года назад

Fascinating History! I imagine this is background for Devil’s Hand. 😎

@bendavis855 3 года назад

Something I think would be an interesting topic for of conversation with Fred and any other authors would be their dealings with government review of their books.

@yogi1kenobi 2 года назад

Great

@risom301 3 года назад

Ghost is a great book. You won't be disappointed.

@kevinnunya9714 2 года назад

I never understood Fred carrying a little book with names of bad boys (likely a classified item) and crossing names off the list as these folks were being taken out of play. Since I know Fred as I am a retried Senior DS Agent, I knew and was in the room with many very bad boys in my 29 year career and never knew anyone other than Fred who claimed they carried some little black book around. In fact if I had one of my Agents keep a book like this, I would take it from him/her as soon as I knew about some terrorist book. Huge operational security issue and frankly dumb to do.

Have you thought of getting author /former Navy Seal Justin Sheffied (Texas) who wrote "MOB VI"?

@1976dtc 3 года назад

I think they just stopped using BSR. I was there in 2017.

What an interesting time. Back when most Feds were good dudes still figuring stuff out. ATF, DSS, DEA, the old Gaurd of cowboys were mostly trustworthy and Patriots. Now…not so much.

Clint is a great trainer but if you really want to learn how to run a wheel gun, you need to hook up with Jerry Miculek.
