EMERGENCY PODCAST Ex-CIA Spy: World War III Has Already Started — Most People Just Don't Know It Yet

The gist

1. Bustamante says the U.S. attacked Iran despite official intelligence showing Iran was not pursuing weapons of mass destruction, pointing to political motives over real threats.
2. China is likely the real strategic target, as disrupting shadow fleet oil supplies to China serves U.S. economic interests more than counterterrorism goals.
3. Bustamante says Iran's decentralized command and pre-approved contingency plans mean it can keep fighting after losing top leaders, making a 4 to 5 week conflict timeline unrealistic.
4. Understanding when you are being manipulated, what Bustamante calls influence literacy, is key to making sense of contradictory messages from political and media figures.
