| 0:00.0 | You live in a world that is manipulated by so many unseen hands it feels ridiculous just pointing out the things that have already been proven, let alone the things many of us suspect is probably going on. That's why our guest today |
| 0:14.6 | former CIA spy Andrew Bustamante has rocketed to fame. He's come out from |
| 0:20.8 | behind the curtain to explain how the clandestine world actually works |
| 0:24.9 | and help us see global politics through the lens of head fakes, faints, and subterfuge. |
| 0:30.3 | His analysis on evolving geopolitical threats such as the Israel-Palestine conflict |
| 0:35.6 | and the destabilizing nature of the escalation and tension between China and the U.S. |
| 0:41.2 | offer insights that will help all of us build a more accurate |
| 0:44.8 | worldview and the closer you can get to ground truth the more effective you can be in |

| 1:55.0 | superpower on the rise like it's the the stage is set and the stage was set in |
| 2:00.4 | World War II which is how we became the dominant power, to your point about waking a sleeping dragon. |
