I Got ‘Trained’ by a CIA Officer and QAnon Movie Star

The typical route to becoming a CIA agent involves a four-year bachelor’s degree, a year-long application process, and specialized training at the Sherman Kent School for Intelligence Analysis, an offshoot of the bluntly named CIA University. But for those in search of a shortcut, there’s Kevin Shipp’s Patreon.

At an infomercial-low price, Shipp—a born-again conspiracy theorist who describes himself as “the only CIA officer in history to publicly expose government illegal activity and cover up, stand up against the state secrets privilege at great personal risk, and build a secret code in the manuscript of his book”—claims to offer a window into the agency’s inner workings.

“I call myself a recovering CIA officer,” Shipp wrote to The Daily Beast, with a smiling-face emoji (he did not respond to further requests for an interview). And he did work at the CIA, nearly 20 years ago. The “government illegal activity” he exposed was the presence of toxic mold in his Army-owned house at Camp Stanley in Texas, which he blamed for somehow destroying his marriage. Shipp quit the agency in 2002 after being accused of using a government credit card for personal expenses, according to The New York Times. (Shipp claimed a supervisor had approved the purchases and that he repaid the money). These days, buoyed in part by an appearance in the viral/completely bonkers QAnon conspiracy movie Out of Shadows, Shipp peddles baseless conspiracies about his former workplace—overlooking many legitimate ones, like orchestrating torture by proxy or backing right-wing coups in Latin America—while dining out on its credentials.

Shipp calls the lowest tier on his Patreon the “Shadow Government/Deep State Exposed.” For $5 a month, he offers two “intro” courses and a selection of his punditry—webcam videos dressed up with CIA logos, operative jargon, and serious-sounding acronyms: the Politically Incorrect News Analysis (aka “PINA”) and the Shipp Intelligence Report (codenamed “SIR”). Upgrade to $10 a month—the “Prepper-Off-The-Grid” tier—and Shipp will explain how he moved to an “off-the-grid farm in the American southeast,” undetectable even by satellite, and offers techniques on “living free from the ‘system.’” But the real heads, who shell out $25 each month, get “Advanced Courses: From a CIA officer.” These “cutting edge courses designed from Kevin Shipp’s CIA operational and training background” (his words) include “Surveillance Detection,” “How To Spot a Liar,” and “Counter Terrorism.” An extra $5 a month gets you “Advanced Protective Operations for VIP protection details.” “This is the Crown Jewel of the program,” Shipp says. There’s also a Discord.

The courses are incredibly light on actual technique. Though Shipp warns his patrons the intel is “sensitive” and not to be shared, he concedes that everything is unclassified and open source. From his desk lined with illegible accolades and bald eagle figurines, Shipp walks patrons through PowerPoint presentations on various topics, each as advanced as a Wikipedia entry. His insights into protective operations include “situational awareness”; on lie-detection, “facial cues.” In “Surveillance Detection,” he urges his followers to maintain a four-tier level of “alertness”: White, “Calm” or Yellow, Orange, and Red. White, he says, is the level one maintains when watching TV, while “Calm” or Yellow ratchets it up a notch, for when “out in public or overseas.” Orange comes in when the subject thinks they are being surveilled, tracked, or followed—something that Shipp believes happens to him constantly.

THE CIA TRAINED JIM CARREY TO WITHSTAND TORTURE

“That first day, the makeup took eight-and-a-half hours. It was like being buried alive,” Carrey recounted later. By the end of that first day of shooting, Carrey approached famed director Ron Howard to tell him he’d have to drop out of the film because the costume, makeup, and prosthetics made him feel so claustrophobic he was struggling to function. For Howard and his partner, Hollywood producer Brian Grazer, this would mean the end of the film itself. Dr. Seuss’s widow, Audrey Geisel, had only sold them the rights to make the movie predicated on the idea that Carrey would play the titular role.

“We had to keep the makeup, and we had to keep Jim—but we had to find a way to make it possible for him to endure something that felt like being tortured,” Grazer recounted in a piece he wrote in 2015. It was actually Grazer that would ultimately devise a solution: he’d call his old friend from the CIA that specialized in teaching agents how to withstand torture.

“We had an actor being held prisoner by his costume—he was being tortured by his makeup,” Grazer said. “Maybe the CIA specialist could teach Jim Carrey to survive the green Grinch makeup the way he’d taught spies to survive hostile interrogation?”

He made a call and the unnamed CIA specialist hopped on a plane that very Friday. He and Carrey then locked themselves in a room for the majority of the weekend, where the instructor taught the comedian different methods CIA agents employ to frame their thinking, distract themselves from pain and discomfort, and how to develop the mindset required to overcome the panic Carrey felt inside the costume.

Carrey would later refer to his weekend of CIA training as “quite hilarious,” but it’s hard to argue with results. After attempting to quit the first day, Carrey went on to don the Grinch makeup for a hundred more days of filming. And it proved worth it — the film went on to make $345 million in theaters and win an Oscar for — what else — best make up.

Of course, Carrey doesn’t credit the help he received from his CIA trainer for his success — but CIA officers are accustomed to working without accolades, I suppose.

Isn't that the point of "They have to tell you…"

Grazer just "picked up the phone and called a CIA buddy?"

That story is a DIRECT TIE between the CIA and the CAA.

Choice to Know. Division. Line Drawn.

Pro Trump or Against Trump.

It's pretty clear now, why Pedowood supports the Anti Trump stance, as well as anyone else. Guilty stick together.

>They didn’t say they were pro Q+ plus, but they realized we’re run by a swamp who say do what I say not as I do.

Had many of the same conversations with people, who feel the same. This is the time, we need more Evidence being brought to light, via, arrests of those DS traitors. Open the eyes of those, who feel that POTUS is not capable of Draining that Swamp.

When BLM is exposed PUBLICLY (via charges) as a psyop for D Division, and funding FOR riots, via many George puppets, all while pulling in "Hatred Domation money via the TD crowd," and had NOTHING to do with Black Equality, that will start the wake up IMO.

Haiti Child Trafficking Clinton Foundation would finish them off for good.

True, but maybe it won't be the DOJ exposing it.

Rand and others have made a point saying "Someone" is funding these Domestic Terrorists.
