Michele Rigby Assad spent 10 years as a CIA officer specializing in counterterrorism and counterintelligence, with assignments in Iraq and other locations across the Middle East.
Assad breaks down how CIA officers collect intelligence, debrief sources, and turn human behavior into operational knowledge. She also reflects on the dangers of working in Iraq during the war on terror and a post-CIA mission that helped rescue nearly 150 Iraqi Christians threatened by ISIS.
She discusses the sexism she faced inside the agency. Assad tells Business Insider that despite having studied Arabic and Middle Eastern culture, she still had to fight for operational roles in the field.
After leaving the CIA, Assad wrote “Breaking Cover” and “Get Off the X.” Today, she uses her CIA training as a keynote speaker and in corporate and international security consulting.

“Cant make this up” dude ur job is to make stuff up😭😭😭
CIA FEDERAL INTELLIGENCE operations had originally guided my parents to lie to an elementary school overseas which allowed those operations on Clark Air Force Base Philippines to facilitate the sexual Exploitation of a 6 year old black male child in 1984
It later planned a marital affair for the father to a younger mistress for the intent to Intimidate the wife.
It continued to clear the 1984 incident by maintaining surveillance on the witness who had purpybeen abandoned and suffered extreme prejudices by agency vs naive child
the grandmother was also involved in receiving instructions from.bthe covert surveillance agency. Where the instructions continued to involve having the grandmother spray the bedroom window when black grandchild waved at her watering the yard.
The agency continued to monitor the witness where online monitoring allowed for that activity to collaborate together with those in cyber surveillance. Those actions resumed in cyber surveillance and app developing where coders and graphic design expressed extreme racist statements.
As of 2023 the federal intelligence agency has established their intentions and have used these operations to create a r traumatic for the victim who was purposely abandoned at the agency’s orders in 1984
Ongoing surveillance and covert manipulating activity has continued to perform in ways that allows acts of Provocation to express itself without the victim detecting the coordinating department or agency.
Unacceptable.
Homicide racism and COLLUSION
The agency collected specific details over a period of time to fit the malicious intentions by the organizing agency.
I feel like you have to be a hedonistic nihilist to be a spy.
I’m getting some serious “I’m better than you” vibes the way she describes everyone she worked with.
Exhibit A: Driving around downtown Afghanistan to work pretending hundreds of trainers would have not told her to not stand out like a 20000w lighthouse.
Good lord her eyes are terrifying. There is no soul behind those. That is one dangerous person.
Was she 12 when she started in the CIA?! She doesn’t look old enough to have done all of that!

Are you new to the concept of construction?
Dope content
Thank you for another entertaining psyop. Don’t believe any alphabet narrative, only whistleblowers.
Yea i’m glad i didn’t need to rely on her, she seems more like the manager type
if you want people to be interested, maybe get someone who doesn’t sound like a bad actress relying on a script. Might as well be handing out CIA HR promo brochures. What’s really going on isn’t being shared with the public.
so the CIA is not about toughness afterall?
Ah really- guess what Germany got from the Middle East
Whats wild to me is HOW SIMILAR the Detroit metro area Arabs (specially Dearborn) vibes are, specially when she talks about the culture. it’s true even in America, albeit they now talk to men, but they ONLY talk to Arab men. 31:58
