EPISODE #1146 THE CIA EXPOSED: SHADOW GOVERNMENT, SECRETS, AND REFORMS

In this eye-opening episode, former CIA officer Kevin Shipp pulls back the curtain on the shadowy operations of America’s most secretive intelligence agency. Drawing on his extensive career within the CIA, Shipp reveals how the Agency has deviated from its original mission of delivering honest intelligence to the President, becoming entangled in manipulations of Big Tech, media, and even global corporations. From Project Mockingbird’s influence on journalists to the CIA’s clandestine alliances with Wall Street and the drug trade, Shipp exposes the hidden levers of control undermining American democracy. He also details the Agency’s relentless efforts to silence whistleblowers, including his own harrowing journey as a targeted truth-teller. Tune in for Shipp’s bold blueprint to reform the CIA, restore liberty, and safeguard America’s future.

GUEST: Kevin Shipp is a veteran CIA officer with decades of experience across the Agency’s four Directorates. His distinguished career includes assignments as a protective agent for the Director of Central Intelligence, a counterespionage investigator, and a Counter Terrorism Center operations officer. He has served as Chief of Training for the CIA federal police force, a program manager for the State Department’s global anti-terrorism efforts, and a polygraph examiner. A recipient of numerous awards, including two CIA Meritorious Unit Citations, Shipp is a fearless whistleblower who has stood up against corruption within the intelligence community. His insights have been featured on The American Heroes Channel, numerous radio shows, and in his previous book, From the Company of Shadows: CIA Operations and the War on Terrorism. A survivor of a life-threatening illness, Shipp draws on his resilience and moral clarity to advocate for transparency and reform in America’s intelligence apparatus.
