Summary

Episode #1153 The CIA's Social Media Takeover: Whistleblower Kevin Shipp Exposes the New Operation Mockingbird Former CIA officer turned whistleblower Kevin Shipp joins the show to blow the lid off the intelligence community’s latest playground—social media. Shipp reveals how Big Tech platforms have become the modern-day battleground for psychological warfare, propaganda, and mass manipulation—essentially a reboot of the infamous Operation Mockingbird. Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg’s recent confession on Joe Rogan’s podcast was just the tip of the iceberg, admitting the FBI’s influence in censoring information. But is there more to this story? We dive into the suspicious death of former OpenAI engineer Suchir Balaji, who allegedly uncovered troubling secrets within the tech giant before his untimely passing. Shipp connects the dots between Silicon Valley, the intelligence apparatus, and how they’re working together to control the narrative and suppress dissent. If you thought your social media feed was just for entertainment, think again. GUEST: Kevin Shipp was a former high-ranking CIA officer. Kevin’s career was nothing short of extraordinary: protective agent for the Director of Central Intelligence, counterespionage investigator, and operations officer in counter-terrorism. He’s seen it all from the inside. But what sets Kevin apart isn’t just his impressive résumé; it’s his courage. When he uncovered corruption within the agency, he made a choice most would fear to even consider—he blew the whistle.
