Deep State Gangsters - with Author and CIA Whistleblower Pedro Israel Orta

Pedro is a former CIA Analyst and Operations Officer. In a dedicated and extensive career, he has worked for the CIA in the comfort of safe desk jobs, in high-risk field operations, and in very dangerous war zone posts. When he saw and reported serious failures in CIA operations affecting the safety and professional performance of CIA colleagues and military operations, he blew the whistle. The result was not that he was praised for his diligence, but that he became the criminal. He was hounded, accused, undermined, and fired to protect the reputation of the CIA and its senior officers. Pedro’s own response was not to run, but to stand his ground, and he fought the system all the way to Congress.
