Spy Survival Tactics - with Jason Hanson


Listen Later

What's cool about being in the CIA is that you can take any training you want, even if it's not your specific job. They want you to have a diverse background in your training.

Learn how to properly bribe an international police officer from former CIA officer and New York Times bestselling author Jason Hanson(@SpyEscape) as he joins Mark in a conversation on the spy secrets that can save lives.

 

"I always tell people too, like, let me tell you how to bribe the police overseas because you may need this depending on where you go." - Jason Hanson

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Deep State: The actual deep state is not the president of the United States. It's not some Senator. The deep state in the government is the middle manager, the ones not doing their jobs but can't get fired due to their level of security clearance. Ultimately, the deep state is the bureaucracy of the government organizations.

  • SDR(Surveillance Detection Route): Pretend you are a spy and will attend a meeting in Russia with your asset. When you leave your hotel for the meeting, you do not go directly to the location in case you are being followed. First, you go to the grocery store, a coffee shop, and a gas station. Once you have hit all those different places while running surveillance, you can see if you're being followed in five minutes. 

  • Situational Awareness: It is proven that when you come under stress, you lose 50% of your IQ, so your IQ is not functioning well in a crisis situation. People need to be aware that that's what the stress response does; it literally sucks your brain, there is a good chance you will go into tunnel vision. In times of duress, your response rises to your training level. 

  • Home Defense Plan: Everyone should have a home defense plan. One simple and effective strategy is to grab a flashlight, open your gun safe, grab the gun, and go take care of the intruder. It shouldn't be much more complicated than that.
