Ahh. From the good ol' days. When the History Channel actually put out great content. This program is proof that, long ago, the History Channel was worth watching. I remember those days.
At 31:00 he writes CIA on a napkin and burns it in an ashtray for no possible sane reason, foreshadowing how bad the History Channel would soon become...
Yup history channel used to be good as did documentaries . Almost all modern documentaries are awful. Terrible bombastic music, terrible narrators and constant repetition of what happened 10 minutes earlier in the documentary because they think the audience is thick. Modern documentaries have been dumbed down to the attention span of younger generations. There I said it lol.
yeah documentaries have always been my thing ever since i was a kid ive always found them more entertaining and engaging than cartoons movies or anything else and yeah back in the day the history channel discovery channel and animal planet used to be where i watched pretty much everything and the sole reason i even bothered with cable now their full of reality crap that their recognizable really sucks but at least there is still youtube and curiosity lol
Even in the late 90s an awesome history teacher of mine referred to History as "The World War II Channel" so while the quality of the documentaries was excellent, it still had a kind of preposterously narrow focus on the current world order.
@@nutsackmania Your teacher may have called it that but I remember watching shows on the History Channel about the old west, the civil war, Vietnam, Cold War espionage (like this one), ancient Rome, archeology, you name it. It wasn't the World War 2 channel.
@GTZ Share There are youtube channels that buy licenses to old shows and post them. The copyright enforcement these days is too good for it to be here otherwise. I used to watch The Real West on youtube but that might have been pirated instead of licensed. I would try looking around.
That’s actually probably very true, someone should / might’ve even made a video on the descent of History channel into a TLC like soulless reality channel. Good analysis
@@nutsackmania Turns out it was actually your charmed 90's teacher with the preposterously narrow focus on the current world order. But, hey, he was popular so what else could matter.
my first day of boot camp I had to change my MOS because I lost my clearance because I HONESTLY told them I had bought a small amount of marijuana when I was 15.
I agree with your premise- but remember the good ole boy network is strong in these agencies- FBI has many Mormons for example. They are a DeFacto cult and will cover. Another example is many of these guys come from rich sheltered families and simply do not have much STREET KNOWLEDGE- If u start with the premise - earn my trust- because my life is on the line- you follow your gut more. Turf wars are rampant- It hurts and hinders the ability to have any crucial objectivity in the decision-making process, Rotate assignments more - assign internal investigation assignments more rigorously. Do not put ethic employees in sensitive assignments- Chinese scientists were hired at a Academicbecame mainland
not even going to watch this video I'm ashamed what my country have fallen to. Maybe it was always this way and I was just to young, naive and starry eyed to see it. The corruption and greed in both politics & business makes me sad. It really comes to mind when I read or hear the writings of our founding fathers, 'stand for the national anthem or think of the men & women that have fought, died and became wounded serving our country. I'm old enough to know we will never achieve what America was founded on. We had our chance - God forgive us.
When I heard the story about 18 year spy Walker, if I said the word “death” once, I said it 1,000 times. There can be no greater betrayal than his to his country, and countrymen. He not only potentially cost American lives, he *actually* did in Vietnam.
If a Russian did the same thing and gave info to USA you would call him a hero. Sometimes a country needs to be betrayed. USA were criminals as far as the Vietnam war went. USA should be prosecuted for war crimes.
Me too! I just went on a whole raging speech to my friend about how he deserved to be sh○t for his crimes! If he doesn't deserve it, then who!? How do they expect to deter (serious, consequential) espionage if this guy isn't six feet under?
Oh the good old days, when things were what you thought they were, and the radio played Rock And Roll! God I miss all of that! Especially the Rock And Roll! Rock was the best, and still is! Now we hear nothing but Pop, which is all garbage. The Rap, Hip Hop, and so called Classic Rock are all just crap. There simply is no good radio at all. The most I can take of any station is half an hour, that's it. I don't want to program my own songs. I want to be surprised! With at least 1 great new song every day. Like it used to be. God I miss it! Let the young people have anything they want, but give us what we want too! When we were young the old people had their radio stations. That's all we want. I don't want Pop, or Country. I want Rock And Roll! There are SO many types of it, it wouldn't be hard to do. But the young people hate us, and prefer to deprive us as much as they can. They call us Boomers. But I'm not a Boomer, and I don't like them either. There's a huge group between Boomers and Gen X that seems to not count. It has no name. And we are the Hard Rockers from the late 70s and early 80s. We're not the Boomers who were young adults in the early 60s. There's a 20 year difference, or more! We are not the rich, greedy, self satisified bunch that thinks they saved the world, but wrecked it instead. The bunch that did twice the damage they accuse their own parents of doing, and then sold out big time, for big bucks! Nothing mattered to them then or now, except their stuff and showing it off. Flaunting that stuff to the max. Conspicuous consumption. It's gross. And we're sandwiched between 2 groups who we don't like, and who don't like us. Without any music to listen to! It's hell! There's an awful lot more stuff to watch, but none of it is any good. Just like before. But back then we refused to watch that crap. Now people don't care if they rot their minds. They'll watch anything! So even when they're not watching, their minds have been turned to mush. They believe Trump, and people like him. Morons even dumber than themselves. God help us! It's not even worth continuing through all of this! It'll never get better though. Time to give up!
It's no big deal really. In America, we currently have two houses of congress and a Whitehouse with a bumper crop of losers. As you can clearly see, in America, "Loser" has become a primary job qualification.
@@Phuc_Socialist_You_Tube It's the same on this side of the pond. I always thought that anyone who wants to be a politician should automatically be disqualified. Communities should identify trustworthy and honest people from their communities who are then conscripted to serve in congress / parliament, pay them well, prevent them from having any outside business interests, ban lobbying and let them get on with running the country rather than enriching themselves.
Very good documentary. It's my belief that a credit report and banking records might be a better indicator of an agent's trustworthiness and reliability than a polygraph test.
Well I have a seriously awful credit report & a pile of debt & top secret clearance. (Not kidding) I would never sell out my country comrades. I was just having some fun there. I absolutely agree with you though. I'm just not that guy. I wouldn't do it.
I please believe me your credit history and all manner of financial activity is looked at as part of gaining Secret/Top Secret Security Clearances with the US Government.
@@christopherengel7436 I'm thinking maybe you acquired your initial security clearance with the government at a point in time when your credit history wasn't totally awful. Once given secret clearance your FICO score can tumble to room temperature levels and you'll likely be okay as OPM typically doesn't perform routine or random credit histories during the period of time your security clearance is active. 😎
What I found disturbing and enraging it that Walker did this for years and was never detected by our security. (His ex wife had to go to the FBI.) The fact that he was not detected screams loudly that they really didn't care. The intel community spent hundred of billions of dollars and yet did not know this guy was spying. It makes me so mad.
A skeptical way to look at it is that many corporations reaped the true benefits of the Cold War as the race to build expensive weapons & devise defense systems escalated. But there was no need for the “next” weapon nor system if the Soviets didn’t know we had them. Think about all the ppl employed by corporations rather than govt agencies. It’s like the govt Intel jobs existed to find reasons to continue escalating with a wink & a nod that they hoped didn’t set off a global nuclear war. So there was no lobbying to makie sure that no one was giving secrets to the enemy. Also, the very existence of these traitors made convenient scapegoats when the Soviets appeared to be developing new weapons & systems to combat ours, whether or not the traitors were actually the cultprits. Look at the complicated web of corporations & LLCs that turn out to be connected to defense today. Imagine finding out that a Chinese company is building a component or part that’s used in a fighter jet or a missile. Some of the scariest transactions of ppl connected in our govt involve foreign companies. Security cameras recording sensitive processes & sending the video to a server in China has happened many, many times.
I feel that anger, too. Walker was responsible for putting accurate sights on brave airmen in Vietnam, and I would have sentenced him to a slow death. But I wouldn't say that he was only able to do it because the top brass didn't care. Bureaucracy is difficult to manage and slow to change, and frankly, we're always learning how to better cover our blind spots. It was unthinkable that someone could be so callous and craven as to betray the brothers he serves alongside of, and I imagine this intelligence failure sparked changes in FBI and naval policy. Just like when we lost warships unnecessarily to fires and we subsequently made damage control everyone's job, I imagine sensitive materials are now stored more carefully. Unless you're a famous politician, and you can get away with that sort of thing.
They knew enough to out class each other's agencies, all the while at any moments chances are the damages have harmed our nation, not to discover now,....But...the fact of future concerns is huge in terms a wider variety of problems. Never good to have weak and Inter agency disfunction and squabbling going on, we'll pay dearly for it, and have in the past......
A nice improvement on that would be if the traitor cost any lives the method-of-demise of the most essential important life lost should be the method-of-execution of he who caused that casualty with his treason. In the case of one particular traitor I can think of who has gone too long unpunished I suppose his method-of-execution would be to be pardoned and counter-constitutionally banned-to-death... Screw "great". That puts me in-mind of when LBJ pushed a program which turned CRT into a lifestyle rather than a theory and called *that* "great". Make America *AmeriCAN* Again!
“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

@@AndrewBlacker-wr2ve What a load of leftist bs. Death penalty "deters" the murder of prison guards, which happens every year. A friend of my family was murdered as a prison guard in California. It also deters the further crimes of escapees, of which there are escapes every year in which the escapees murder and rxxpe innocent civilians on the outside. Regardless, none of these spies fear anything but the death penalty. Look at their grins. The U.S. executed spies for 200 years.
I remember when the History Channel was good and had programs like this all the time. I spent a lot of time hung over watching History Channel documentaries. I went back to college and was able to basically use what I learned to earn a degree.
Yep! Obama was the most loathsome ShitWeasel ever to sit in the Oval Office. And he is not done yet. He is on record as saying that he would like a 3rd term operating as Puppet Master behind the throne and it is pretty clear that he has achieved that ambition via that poor brain addled wretch Biden.
Who watches the watchers...? "You shall know them by the fruits of their labours." When an espionage department never produces any good results or every project fails....then smell a corrupted system....the corruption point may be one person.... Always remember...a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
Listening to the closing remarks that Russia felt and still feels humiliated by the collapse of the former soviet union played against what is happening now in Ukraine and the Balkans could not be more prophetic and troubling.
Except that is the stupidest and falsest thing ever. Uuuh, they felt "humiliated" by the collapse of their EVIL empire... What do you even mean by this...? That empire had to fall. It was evil. Is this how you make the point that the evil empire shouldn't have been defeated and that they should've been allowed to communize the world...? Because THAT's what they wanted. That's a lame and laughable way of promoting the global communist agenda... LOL. The problem however, the REAL problem was that Russia was pampered and cuddled afterwards instead of being given a lesson in humility. The problem was PRECISELY that Russia and the Russian people weren't totally humiliated. That allowed a radical "mother Russia" lover like this ordinary street thug Putin to take over and instill this fake feeling of "humiliation" by the hands of the West into the Russian people. Based on false pretenses of course. Nobody humiliated Russia after they lost their shitty evil empire, on the contrary, everybody was very careful not to humiliate them... So Putin came along, one of the most radical elements of the KGB and instilled this phony feeling into the Russian people. Very similarly to the way Hitler did it. Except Hitler was justified in a way to feel that way. The treaty of Versailles was far more unfair towards Germany than the collapse of the evil empire was for the Russians. And this is not the only way Putin and his regime are very similar to Hitler and his Nazi regime. Using this lame "pretext" of Russia having been "humiliated" simply because they lost the war (cold war) WHICH THEY STARTED is the most disgusting and pathetic way of defending that evil empire and the communist agenda. The problem was precisely that they weren't taught a proper lesson in humiliation. That's why they behave the way they do now.
On a related note, if I remember correctly, Ukraine is now accusing at least one general and a couple of town mayors of treason. Might explain why some areas fell so quickly.

Hey. Know what? If that shoplifter is spotted for what he is and later-on tries to weasel his way into a situation where he's in the "big times"' as far as profiting from his amoral nature and his record as a low-stakes amoral bad actor washes him out for entry into t he higher-stakes opportunity to "shine" in the only way he is constituted to "shine" I don't see where that's a bad thing. Bust 'em all and nip things "in the bud" as much as possible. I'm sick and tired of reading stories about how someone with a criminal record who shouldn't have been hired in a nursing home is discovered to have been staging MMA matches between the geezers and taking bets on the outcome. If George Floyd had gotten the sort of Texas Treatment for the armed home-invasion robbery in Texas as would have occurred when I was in HS instead of 5yrs he'd stll be wasting oxygen---in a jail cell in Texas. And not as a supposedly-victimless-crime-inmate either. Poking a firearm into the gut of a pregnant homeowner to keep her quiet while a truckload of your "homies" ransack her home is no victimless crime. And a lot of serious violent criminals carry salable amounts of contraband on 'em to make things easy on the cops once the cops decide "enough if enough" knowing nobody in the "community" is going to risk their lives to testify about the violent crimes but a cop testifying about drugs found on the suspect will get them both what they want. The cops get the violent thug off the street for awhile and when the violent thug is seeking employment as part of his "out plan" he gets to whine to the prospective employer---who has quite possibly had a salable quantity of contraband on his/her person at some time in their misbegotten youth phase---that he was brutally over-sentenced for a victimless crime and successfully gets cycled back into the community again---still a violent thug. But Floyd's violent thuggery was without a doubt. He's really lucky, given it was Texas we're talking about, that the pregnant homeowner didn't unload a 410 shotgun slug into his gut from a pocket pistol chambered to fire those when he started pushing his way in the door. He should have counted himself lucky to get arrested and sentenced to a very long term then. How much better-off would we all be now if that lady had been A&D? And Maxine wouldn't have had that golden opportunity to prove the "Bell Curve" once-again. Ever heard the old axiom about how for want of a nail the shoe was lost? Nip those amoral types in the bud at the lowest level of damages-done possible. They are what they are and they're not going to change except with whatever maturity comes to their kind about the time most of us are getting ready to apply for SSI. And I'm "up for" snuffing *all* traitors and would happily be drafted to serve on the firing squad. I would aim for the heart no matter how the traitor ingratiated himself with the guards during his lengthy appeals. Because I wouldn't have *been* one of the guards. I'd rather select being put on that list in lieu of being liable to jury duty. Firing squads in those cases should be presented with known cases of the gorey details of the harm they caused whether it's an accurate reenactment of the torture and execution of some U.S. friendly foreign intel asset or what happened to a downed pilot in Vietnam. In the latter cases perhaps some who were downed and survived the ordeal could come and recount their experience to the citizens called to serve on firing-squad duty. This is a nation of by and for The People and it's not all rights. It also carries responsibilities. Congress is empowered to call forth Militia and one of the causes for mustering militia is law enforcement. Also quelling rebellion/insurrection and protecting the border. *Not foreign martial adventures* so since the National Guard have been mobilized to participate in foreign military adventures they are *not* the Militia, no matter *what* lies you've been told to the contrary. Execute all convicted traitors. It's more like being drafted to go kill enemy soldiers than a criminal execution. If we're to be judged by a jury of our peers it would seem right that citizens-gone-wrong as traitors ought to be *executed* by their citizen peers.
Wow! Old school History Channel when they actually showed documentaries that were interesting to watch instead of Joke Island and Ancient Aliens! Thanks for posting!
We've only had two spies convicted for working for the USSR in Norway since WW2, and they were both caught in the 80ies. It was certainly not just an American problem at the time. There are people vulnerable to being caught up in that in every country, for all kinds of reasons. Love, money, blackmail...

@@anairenemartinez165 it seems that Kalugin would side with the aide of Ukraine considering he's recommended that the US not let off on keeping an eye on Russian Intel operations.
NOPE he was never pardoned. He was released on parole after serving 30 years. Then he was on some sort of house arrest for several years . Nobody really knows if his actions resulted in deaths. That's to say the Israelis could potentially share sources with other states in return for more valuable information for the state of Isr. Pollard was just after the bucks. He approached a Australian army officer seconded to the US - his bosses thought it was an FBI provocation or similar and did not bother to report it at the time. later they did, feeling rather foolish.
Actually that greedy swine wasn't pardoned. He'd been paroled and some corrupt traitor-led administration allowed the DOJ ( under executive branch dominion ) to declare his parole completed freeing him to be swept-up by Purloined Palestine to be data-mined to see if his photographic memory holds any other currently-relevant items which can be traded to our enemies for items of intel Irgunistan wants---and "screw us". The real treasn-"tell" is the pardoning of Aviem Sella who orchestrated the Pollard treachery. Anyone who would pardon Sella can be nothing but a traitor and though t it was technically legal to do and cannot be prosecuted for what it is, This needs to be shouted from the mountaintops and that yellow-belled draft-dodging prevaricating phypocritical divided-loyalties traitor needs to lose all his support. Unfortunately there are heaps of people who just cannot admit to themselves they were swindled of their faith and credit---and undoubtedly considerable disposable income which would have been better-spent stocking up on Everclear, high quality instant coffee, sucrose, engine lubricants and a host of other things which may become very valuable items of barter B4 what's been done to us is over.

I was doing staff duty in Europe from 1983 to 1985. When I was leaving the US Navy I was given an exit interview. They asked me what things that I had seen concerned me? I said from what I could tell too many people were in there for the money not to serve the country. I said we needed to concentrate on looking for spies and teaching our people to appreciate and love the United States. Well that was the year of the spy. And it was damning. Furthermore I took the time to learn more about US history. And what our school system teaches our students about US history is deplorable. They hate the United States. Yes we haven’t been perfect angels but compared to most countries we have been blessed. No one matches why do all these people want to come here if we’re such a bad country? When I saw all these spies captured over the years I knew I was right. So sad.

13:00 U.S. Armed Forces have invaded a sovereign country, Vietnam, and are flying in bombing missions on all kinds of targets.

Greed and power, the MO of virtually every US politician, senior military and senior intelligence officers. ..... “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

At last! Potashov speaks, correctly, of repentance instead of the incorrect remorse. Repentance means real sorrow for sin, whereas remorse merely means self-pity at being caught. There is a very great difference between the two.
@@tiajones7036 That is a(n American) misconception. Remorse is self-pity; for example, when you wake up the morning after a drunken binge. It becomes repentance when you really are sorry for whom you have wounded by your actions, and resolve not to do it again. Remorse is often a way of trying to get around your offence by making the wounded party feel guilty.
