"these are photos of me and george w.bush and revealing to him that i was briefing while wearing a mask" Absolute power move
Tells us those Anunnaki don't really see through us. Hmmm.😊
Its really sad that this video isn't CC'd for real. My friend is deaf and can't be forced to hear. I find that buying into KZhead is useless because the vast majority of the channels are no CC or crap "youtube's attempt" at CC. I wish everyone was deaf because then, they'd get it.
@@tpkyterooluebeck9224 First of all I want to say that I really agree with your comment and it would be very helpful if someone would take some time and create subs for this video or videos on youtube in general. It's not only helpful for deaf people, but also for people that like to train their brains to read and listen to English when they are not native speakers and to some degree with the help of google translate and "open transcript" option on youtube to even understand what the video is saying without even knowing the language. Also I wouldn't call the "youtube's attempt" crap, because if you think about it, it's amazing what a computer can do just by analyzing a sound. Imagine how many different accents there are and how differently people speak (loudness, pitch etc) and it still manages to get it right 90% of the times. I use it alot because many times I watch a video at x1.5 or x2 so I can finish it faster and having some kind of help on the bottom of my screen at all times is very helpful since I'm not a native English speaker (even though I believe I'm quite proficient at it) and I can miss some words due to pronunciaton (aka when British people speak :P ). Sorry for long comment, have a nice day! :)
@@kavvMichael I would like to create subtitles for this video can you please tell me how I can do that?
@@aaanawaleh I think if you want to add subtitles to a public video the publisher must have that option enabled. I don't know the specifics though. :/
If she is publicly explaining CIA uses these tricks, these are no longer current CIA tricks.
I think you're right. But I also think that most things she said all the other intelligence services already know and use too ;)
Yup
it means it's already common knowledge that everyone knows
There go my plans to trick the CIA.
Or they still are, just not everything is classified.
I need a full length documentary with her. She’s absolutely fascinating.
The scary part about this is that this whole time that she had been being interviewed is that she could be in a disguise and be whole different person then we know.
She’s definitely wearing a mask.
I didn’t even think of that
She does have a male like posture 🧐
@@Hemway22 I thought the same thing ..
No offense to whoever is the real life person but she looks like a male here, even with the posture, broad shoulders and sitting posture opening their legs
this video makes me wonder how many disguised people ive walked past on the street.
Yup
I think my girlfriend is a disguise she is in different moods every know and then

Plot twist: they're using disguise in this interview, so basically we never see a real face of a CIA former
which will be true in case of this video!!
Look at her neck, I can't stop thinking she is wearing a mask lol
literally exactly what I was thinking
@@RIPGANGSHIT Can or can't?
If so, that is such an unclockable face.
She said a lot without revealing anything
Throughout the whole thing I was like uh huh expecting her to say one more thing to wrap the idea together so I would actually understand and then she switched topics and at the end I was just like ok we have advanced masks and agents can change quickly
Asim Asim She’s Smart She Know a What She Doing, They Watching He, The Moment She Spill She Dies
Uhm.. she may not have told everything they use, but everything she mentions she details pretty clearly.. how they disguise people, even down to the roof of the mouth thing.. what makes you say she didnt reveal anything?
@@domokunbogle you think? LOL
@@asimasim8207 you don't have to think, just listen.. everything she says may be common knowledge, so she isn't talking about anything top secret, but she clearly details what is talked about.. that's not a matter of opinion, but a matter of understanding language..
This presentation is absolutely fascinating! 👌 I had the opportunity to see Jonna and her husband, who was also a CIA operative, in person several years ago. Their stories were captivating! It was a series that a local newspaper sponsored to the public of various prominent guest speakers usually twice a year. Of course, we had to pay for tickets. It was worthwhile.
This woman needs her own series she's incredible
Imagine being her kid and trying to get away with something... “I was the shop attendant all along, I know you bought that alcohol”

This is so cool, as an American I feel like she is my step-Grandma teaching me how to act, especially in Europe.
She was just listing off what I do, how I eat, hold a cigarette, how I stand... and I was like wait this is just am American thing?

Her CIA husband was Tony Mendez, the man the movie ARGO was made after. I heard him speak at a luncheon years ago, describing how he exfiltrated the American diplomats out of Iran. Wonderful family they are. RIP, Tony!
3:38 "You want to be the person that gets on the elevator, and then gets off, and no one really remembers you were there." I don't even need a disguise to do that

Sometimes when I didn't do homework the teacher saw that I was picking my notebook, and so just gave up on waiting, being forgettable is usefull
Yeah you'd like us to think that wouldn't you 😏
I need a Netflix series about this woman’s stories.
Camilo Delgado heck yeah
Yes
It would be better if it's a KZhead series
FACTS
There is a movie about her husband though... ARGO
I wasn't done listening to her when this suddenly ended after only a couple of minutes. Fantastic woman and presentation, and intriguing topic
This is an awesome video! So intriguing and influential. Obviously these "tricks" are decades old so imagine the tricks they have now...
Plot twist: *She's just disguising as a former chief of disguise* Yikes, thanks for the likes humans
Haha
Haha
It is not a "she", it is a guy in disguise. LOL.
I know the former chief of disguise,that's not her face🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awua Ben “former” 🤦♂️
That woman's disguise as an old man is exactly how somebody would look like in a disguise.
Jianwang Aran maybe bc u saw her sit down in original form. I saw it was makeup so I acknowledged it was a woman. thinking She couldn’t actually look like that (or he for that matter). but some ppl have that ethereal look to them. Man or woman. I have seen a few people!
@@victoria-le7ew nah she definitely looks like a woman xD have you ever seen an old man?
It's all in the eyes.
It's because the shape of her face, you expect someone old to have an oval or square looking jaw, not a feminine one. It's a terribly botched job xd
@@RoachZone Yeah, that 'costume' would have failed in 10min after entering the 'enemy' grounds. Who are they going to fool with this? Children? I mean, a trained eye of the party they want to spy on will quickly realize that there is something wrong. Not to mention that women and men have different styles of how they sit and walk. The shoulders are different, and the curves of the hip area. Even the skin... women have smooth skin, while men have more leathery skin - they will have to cover the neck, hands, and the face with a huge amount of makeup to cover this. The clip was nothing more than a cheap attempt to entertain the audience with trashy techniques.
I would love to see a lot more of this--especially the disguises. How they do it.
When I saw your link to this video I immediately thought of "Inspector Clouseau" the master of disguises played by Peter Sellers.
I’m surprised she’s even allowed to talk about this.
Same thought here... My first thought was she was a fake looking for attention.
Here's the thing. This is how it worked many years ago and this was just a sample. Imagine what they can do today.
Most of this is...well maybe not common knowledge, but it's certainly not secret. These tricks and strategies are more or less "industry standard". It's interesting to the layman, but for anybody who's ever actually done this sort of thing these are the basics of basics.
Even with this information, it would still be extremely difficult for the average person to detect an agent
I have lots of military family and they always say that anything "revealed" to us regular folks is probably so outdated it isn't used anymore, or the enemy has already figured it out too, so it doesn't matter.
Am I the only one who really wanted her to pull off her 'face' at the end to reveal she had actually been wearing a mask throughout the whole interview?
Yup!!!!
She would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids!
PantySausage hahaha goddammit!!
You, deserve so many more likes
She also needed to say "Valar Morghulis" after taking off the mask.
I watch KZhead every single day. This is the most interesting video I have ever seen.
I feel like the hardest thing in the cia is not telling anyone
Beginning of the Video: Me- "Look at her face, such experience" After Video ended: Me-"Was that her real face?"
Ikr...i thought the reveal is gonna be she was the dude who was walking down the street changing disguise...
ikr, she might be younger than she looks in this video, we don't know!
I mean her nose and general face shape are similar to the first model being shown, while her gums are bigger beneath the lips and her lower face is saggier though she has a pretty slim neck. Eye colour is, of course, different as well; Assuming her name is Mendez that could indicate brown eyes as being the originals, rather than blue eyes. Shoulder width and posture seem to match too. The old pictures show us that she has at least attempted to actually recreate her original hair colour, though it is now not looking so curly. Can't find something that would directly confirm that she is not the same woman shown to disguise as a man.
This is Part 1. Let's see.. :)

Jonna Mendez is the wife of Tony Mendez, the operative who helped rescue the six American hostages in 1979. See the movie "Argo." In the book, her husband talks about the different hostile operatives you have to confuse. A trained Moscow operative is more difficult to fool than a revolutionary guard zealot who may not be as trained in spy craft.
An informative and interesting documentary. Thank you. 😉

That part when they showed photos of her meeting Bush, I didn't even realize that she was wearing a mask. I just thought she was holding a severed head at the last photo. It was pretty shocking and impressive

This information reminds me so much of the spy-action thriller television series 'Alias' where Jennifer Gardner aka Sydney Bristow was a CIA official and she performed the role so well. The series gave the viewers a glimpse of 'CIA espionage' world and connections ... A very interesting and informative tv series.
Haven't had tv for decades. Sounds like a good show. Can watch a few clips on KZhead to see what it was Iike. I liked the old, "The Avengers" TV British spy series. If you aren't over 50, you probably haven't heard of it. Prob some clips of it on you tube.
If she's telling us this, that means there's stuff she isn't telling us, and there's probably far more advanced tactics in place now.
I wonder if tattoos are part of spying too?
After they finished filming she took her mask off and it was Tom Cruise all along.
But thay was also a mask.

She's not. Of course there are more techniques. You can reveal all of your knowledge in a short video. You also wouldn't.
Painting a portrait is very much like making a disguise. To get the "likeness" you just have to put together each little detail accurately enough. There's no secret to it - it's just a number of paint layers adding the right details. I had no idea that using disguises was the similar to this.

I've heard people say that we need to b vulnerable. This would b true only w the right people: those who care about us & will not gossip about us or eviscerate us when our backs r turned. How did Jesus Himself feel about this? In John 2:23-25 "Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did; but Jesus DID NOT TRUST himself to them, because He knew all men and needed no one to bear witness of man; for He himself knew what was in man." Jesus was vulnerable to & trusted some people, like His disciples. But certainly not everyone.

+Eben Dennison Haha, I agree . :) I have a book about gestures, it's a German book though, there are no translations. But it's called 'In 80 Fettnäpfchen um die Welt' by Françoise Hauser, it's about gestures, words, movements, gifts. And how all of those things can make you look like a total idiot in other countries (the translation would be; "Round the world in 80 blunders.") I also noticed the Irish/English/British/everyone across the pond, finds the opposite peace-sign offensive. Showing the index and middle finger, back-of-the-hand-towards-the-other-person. But when I was young, we'd use that symbol if we wanted to swear an oath. I'd say; 'I swear I won't steal any of your Pokémoncards while you're using the loo, you can trust me' and if the other kid had doubts, I'd make a "V" with my index and middle finger, aim it towards them, move the hand to the right side and of my head and spit through the "V." Multiple times if necessary. That meant 'I swear' and that was about as serious as an Unbreakable Vow in Harry Potter.
And I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling kids
