I listened to a couple more. I certainly haven't listened to enough to have a perspective on which side of the aisle he might lean, but his take on spying by the USA and on the USA and mentioning at least 10,000 spies are in the USA is quite interesting. I wish I could find his story about what the CIA looked for in recruits and how they "deprogrammed" him from his previous understandings and how later on he realized he too was programmed by them. A lot of video here and I have no idea how he is in most video, but he is no dummy and understands some psychology and a world we don't realize.
FWIW
