Retired CIA case officer Brian Fairchild discusses his life working in the national security state, the New Cold War, and the anti-American military bloc led by China. His biggest grievance is that the CIA is not up to the task anymore. After the collapse of the USSR they had no primary mission and after 9/11, they focused solely on counter-terrorism and forgot about the rest of the world. He explains the problems with espionage today and discusses his new book “The Hidden: A Griff Harkin Novel”.
