Twilight of the Shadow Government: How Transparency Will Kill the Deep State

by Kevin Shipp, Kent Heckenlively

Overview

In this groundbreaking book, Kevin Shipp, a veteran CIA agent who worked with all four Directorates of the agency, including protecting the head of the CIA, provides his perspective on how the agency has strayed so far from its original mission to provide accurate intelligence to the American president.
 
You will learn about the founding of the Agency, how the intelligence agencies have manipulated journalists through Project Mockingbird, as well as their new efforts with the Center for Global Engagement and Big Tech interference. Shipp will also give you his up close and personal assessment of how the directors of the agency have contributed to our safety or undermined it. Shipp and Heckenlively detail how the CIA has blocked whistleblowers and the reforms they champion, while also controlling our country through secret alliances with large corporations, Wall Street, Big Media, the drug trade, and blackmail of our political leaders.
 
Shipp provides his own history with the Agency, both the good and bad, including the Agency’s attempt to ruin his career and life when he turned whistleblower. Perhaps most striking of all, Shipp lays out his plan for a dramatic overhaul of the Agency, likely to win wide approval from other sectors of the intelligence community, restoring the freedom of our country, while also keeping us safe from our adversaries.

About the Author

Kevin Shipp, former CIA officer and antiterrorism expert, held several high-level positions in the CIA. He was assigned as a protective agent for the director of Central Intelligence, a counterespionage investigator searching for moles inside the CIA, a Counter Terrorism Center operations officer, an internal security investigator, Chief of Training for the CIA federal police force, supervisor of high-risk asset protective operations, and polygraph examiner. Mr. Shipp functioned as program manager for the Department of State, Diplomatic Security, Anti-Terrorism Assistance global police training program. He is the recipient of two CIA Meritorious Unit Citations, three Exceptional Performance Awards, and a Medallion for overseas operations. He is the author of From the Company of Shadows: CIA Operations and the War on Terrorism. Mr. Shipp has been a regular guest on the American Heroes Channel as an intelligence and terrorism expert and has been the subject of numerous radio interviews and newspaper articles. A brush with a terminal illness when he was a young man and a miraculous recovery made him fearless of death and danger. This served him well in his CIA career and ultimately in publicly standing up to CIA corruption.

Editorial Reviews

Kevin Shipp was a tier one top performer at the CIA. He saw firsthand the corruption in the Agency and heroically went public, revealing CIA criminal activity.”
—Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., attorney, author, and presidential candidate
 
“Kent Heckenlively combines moral clarity and courage with careful and meticulous writing—a rare combination.”
 —Dennis Prager, author and radio host
 
“This must-read book is a shocking exposé of the CIA and its historic and ongoing crimes.  When one thinks of the dirty tricks the CIA has perpetrated since its inception, as well as their current efforts, one is left with a deeply disturbing portrait of a rogue agency. The book paints a picture of the CIA that goes far beyond the worst you might imagine, but also gives clear guidance on how we can reign in the Agency and restore American freedom.”
—Max Swafford, author and educator
 
“Kevin Shipp has written a stunning expose of hidden CIA operations and domestic surveillance of American citizens. His willingness to take the personal risk to alert the American people and call for CIA reform is a historic act by a CIA insider.”
—Martin Kaiser, technical surveillance advisor for Enemy of The State and author of Help Yourself!: A Story of FBI Corruption
 
“Kent Heckenlively is a first-rate researcher, writer, and thinker. Don't let his mild-mannered demeanor fool you. He’s a silver bullet against lies and deception.”
—Ryan Hartwig, Facebook whistleblower
 
“Twilight of the Shadow Government pulls you in and doesn’t let you go. It’s a tour de force of the machinations of the powers that be and how they influence public opinion and broker power behind the scenes. From CIA drug running and assassinations, to manipulating the media with Project Mockingbird and its modern updated form, this book has it all. Prepare to be blown away.”
—Zach Vorhies, author of Google Leaks
