Today, people love conspiracy theories. They seem to bring order to a chaotic world. Their accuracy and plausibility are less important than their support of the believers' confirmation bias.
That's why you should tune
in to the latest episode of iHeartPodcasts’ investigative series Mission Implausible, hosted by two former high-level CIA operatives
who use their world-class expertise and insights to explore and dissect
the world’s most baffling conspiracy theories. Co-hosts John Sipher and
Jerry O'Shea were two of "The Dirty 51," a
group of former intelligence officials who wrote a letter warning that
the discovery of Hunter Biden's laptop by Rudy Giuliani showed all the
signs of continued Russian election interference.
In this episode, the
two sit down with co-producer Adam Davidson,
to discuss new developments surrounding the laptop, which was used as
evidence in Hunter Biden's recent trial and, just yesterday, was a
specific element of the Supreme Court decision on whether the government
improperly censored conservative social media.
They also speak with another of "The Dirty 51," former CIA officer Doug
Wise, who takes on the right-wing vilification of The 51, the death
threats, the newest misinformation being spread by Trumpworld and the
dangers of excoriating the law enforcement arms
of the federal government.
Mission Implausible is hosted by John Sipher and Jerry O’Shea.
John Sipher retired in 2014 after a 28-year career in the Central
Intelligence Agency’s National Clandestine Service.
He also served as a
lead instructor in the CIA’s clandestine training school and was a
regular lecturer at the CIA’s leadership development
program. He is the recipient of the Distinguished Career Intelligence
Medal.
Jerry O’Shea worked undercover as an operations officer for over
three decades. A four-time Chief of Station running some of CIA’s
largest and most critical missions abroad, he has relished the challenge
of service to a greater good in the gray, blurred,
and bleary borderlands between good and evil, right and wrong.
Check out Mission Implausible if you dare. I warn you. Your pet conspiracy theory may go down in flames.
