Moscow had its own set of rules since it was such a difficult place to work. Former CIA Chief of Disguise Jonna Mendez talks about some of the tactics, gadgets and disguises CIA operatives used in the field during the Cold War.

BOND’S REAL LIFE ‘Q’.
Imagine being a teenager trying to sneak out at night, and this lady is your Mum😂
Imagine the tech they have now 😉
The United States terrorists, no wonder they are paranoid, they the only one who use the nuclear bomb, and they are afraid of karma.
why would they make someone put on a dog suit and not just get in the boot?
What if they asked you and the dog to get out or if they pulled you over and there was a silhouette of you in the car but not really when they got to the car
Wouldn’t a rat dipped in tobacco sauce be discolored then
Who could ever really want that job
I saw a small presentation where Mendez spoke once, absolutely fascinating.
This may well be the most interesting video that I’ve ever watched on YT.
Encounted Russian Security KGB at Air show Kalamazoo Michigan 1980’s. Setting in Soviet MIG Display wearing Uncle Donald’s 52 MM Air Force Sunglasses. KGB told me to get out of the Cockpit, I said can’t read Russian Dashboard anyway. A Lot of Russians in Kalamazoo that week freaking out about how much groceries are in the Stores. Found out what “MOCBA” Meant on side of Delegation Airplane when Delegates exited wearing wool coats in 90 degree weather. Thank you Mrs Mendez for the C.I.A. Service. Stephen.
I hope she survived biting on her glasses.

Imagine catching a spy and he bites his glasses and dies, poops out a toolkit, and his balls fall off.
She only told what she want us to know, but what are the behind of these exposures? Is she really a former chief? Or was it just to cover for an another spying mission in this new world era of youtube and social media 🫠
