Former CIA Case Officer and Station Chief Douglas London on Asset Recruitment and Tradecraft Today, we are hosting an episode with Douglas London, a former case officer and station chief with three decades of experience.

When a former CIA case officer and station chief talks tradecraft, it’s worth paying attention. The basics haven’t changed, it’s still about trust, access, and patience, just adapted to a new world. #CIA #HUMINT #Spycraft #covertops #espionage #intelligence #spy

That’s what people miss. In a world of satellites and encrypted apps, it’s the old school stuff like shortwave and number stations that still hold up. When digital gets shaky, simple and hard to track wins. #Espionage #Spycraft #Intelligence www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

The Russian honeytrap: alleged spy for Moscow faces five years in US prison Nomma Zarubina, convicted of lying to the FBI, is the latest Russian woman accused of using her sexual wiles for spying

That’s old school spycraft still working today. Honeytraps aren’t just movie plots, they exploit trust and access in ways tech can’t. One compromised person can open doors no hacker ever could. #Espionage #NationalSecurity #Spycraft

Forget James Bond. Real spies freeze bank accounts, win lawsuits, and track money through charities that claim to help orphans.

This Is How You Train As a Spy in the CIA’s Most Elite Covert Unit - Washingtonian I start the CIA Field Tradecraft course in the fall of 2005, learning the basics of elicitation, dead drops, bumps, brush passes, and surveillance detection. My small band of classmates and I run arou...

That’s what throws people off. A CIA operative isn’t meant to stand out, they’re meant to disappear into everyday life. Meetings, dead drops, cover stories, it all looks normal if it’s done right. #CIA #Spycraft #Espionage #spy #undercover #covert #intelligence

Former CIA Agent Reveals Her Secret Life — FEDagent What trials and tribulations do CIA agents endure during their missions? What happens when they blow their cover? Learn about the covert nature of being a CIA agent.

That’s the part people don’t think about. It’s not just missions, it’s stress, isolation, and always watching your back. And if your cover gets blown, things can go bad fast. #CIA #Espionage #Spycraft

How the CIA tries to recruit Russians to spy on their country The latest episode of CNBC's "The Crimes of Putin's Trader" podcast dives into the world of spycraft and how CIA officers try to gain intel from others.

That’s where the real work is. No gadgets, just reading people, building trust, and knowing when to make the move. Turning someone like that takes time and skill. #CIA #HUMINT #Espionage #spycraft #intelligence

Is that #Spycraft?! Oxford @blackwells.bsky.social

Who else has spotted the paperback in the wild, amongst such esteemed company?

Meet the REAL James Bond... and he worked for the KGB The Kremlin had it's own Agent Bond spymaster during the Cold War, documents seen by The Daily Mail - and he may have been inspired by For Your Eyes Only.

Truth really can be stranger than fiction. When real operatives have stories with more twists than a Bond film, it reminds you the spy world is far more complex and unpredictable than Hollywood ever shows. #Espionage #ColdWar #Spycraft

This is like a mess cook saying what the navy feeds sailors, not admitting the food is poisoned from plastic lining of cans to contaminated water in canned food & soda, let alone horrific industrial treatment of plants & animals.
#Spycraft is forevermore synonymous with #Epstein.

#vss365 #frustrate

Epstein = Pharaoh dumbass.
Welcome to webspeak.
Nazis = Holy Roman Empire = Pharaoh = UN Security Council

Epstein is just 1 spy from 1 spy agency.
Ghislaine Maxwell just 1 spy from another.
MI6 working w Mossad or KGB makes little difference once u see the Cold War was meant to oppress u.
#spycraft

That’s classic spy world stuff. Code names aren’t just about hiding things, they stick and become part of the culture. Sometimes the nickname lasts longer than the mission itself. Funny how that works. #CIA #Spycraft #Intelligence

Jennifer Ewbank On The Current State of Intelligence Watch former CIA leader Jennifer Ewbank speak about the future of the intelligence community and the rise of AGI in Executive Mosaic's latest video interview.

She's right on! Spycraft isn’t just trench coats and dead drops anymore- it’s algorithms, cyber intrusions, satellites, and AI moving at lightning speed. The tools changed, but the stakes didn’t. It's now a high-tech chess match. #Spycraft #NationalSecurity

MI5 Spycraft History | National Review Highlights from an exhibition on the British intelligence agency’s history.

Those MI5 files are a goldmine for anyone who loves real spy history. You start flipping through them and suddenly the shadow world feels a lot less like fiction and a lot more like patient, gritty tradecraft. #MI5 #Espionage #Spycraft #London

The Real Spycraft That Inspired James Bond | HISTORY How much did Ian Fleming use his WWII experience to create 007?

Bond may feel larger than life, but Fleming pulled a lot from real wartime intelligence work. The gadgets got flashy later, but the core idea of deception, patience, and human sources came straight from real spycraft. #JamesBond #IanFleming #Espionage #spycraft

Slow Horses season five: there’s comedy but also real spycraft – according to espionage expert Honey traps are laid, cyber attacks are enacted and it seems MI5 have to rely upon Slough House to bail them out once again.

That’s why Slow Horses works. The humor pulls you in, but the tradecraft feels believable. Intelligence work is often messy, bureaucratic, and human, and the show actually leans into that reality. #SlowHorses #SpyCraft #Espionage #MI5 #intelligence

Cockroaches, fitted with tiny backpacks, could be part of the future of spycraft, search-and-rescue missions SWARM Biotactics, a German company, is fitting cockroaches with tiny backpacks to enable the insects to be used for reconnaissance missions.

Spycraft getting stranger and smarter. Turning a cockroach into a walking sensor sounds wild, but it could slip where drones or people cannot. The future of surveillance may literally crawl under the door! #SpyTech #Surveillance #Military #technology #spycraft

Ansel remained silent as Ailene Branchdon stood to walk away from them, moving deeper into the Starstrike. She unclipped the Elite rapier, closing her eyes as she rested the blade lightly and carefully on her left palm. Tracers of blue light began to move within the clear blade, spiraling at its core, and then streaming out to run along the four edges of its slight curve. As they withdrew and vanished, Ailene opened her eyes. “I’ve killed eleven truly deserving empty souls as a member of the Siblinghood, five since I became a Warrior Elite.” “And?” Chaniq replied, having inevitably grown more anxious and impatient. A smirk flashed across the other9 woman’s sharp features, “…and I’ve never liked odd numbers.” She pulled a small metal net out of one of her pockets and laid it on the table, proceeding to catch her hair up in a ponytail and then wrap the net around it. “This is a DNA triggered unilateral conduction filament. It’ll shock the Hell out of anyone but me.” Ansel’s brows twitched but he moved on. “Need any help with a plan?” “Right now, I just need answers. Doc’, how long before Derregos cares you’re missing?” “Another half-hour. It won’t be long before someone notices I’ve been on Ailene Branchdon’s ship far longer than it should have taken to treat an old man for anything.” Ailene shrugged. “He’ll know even I just can’t take off with you. If we’d known the situation, we would have done this all differently but we’re past that.”

Ailene Branchdon realizes she must give up on being a "former assassin" to liberate a potential ally from her captors.

'Sidney Riley': The Jewish ace of spies who inspired James Bond - review | The Jerusalem Post Benny Morris has done a brilliant job in attempting to reconstruct the life and times of Sidney George Reilly – the mystery man of espionage and also a poor Jewish boy from the shtetl.

Reilly makes Bond look tame. Double-dealing, globe-hopping, playing every side- he was pure chaos in human form. It’s wild that one real spy lived a life fiction still struggles to top.
