We don't have the money for them, but we have a human approach, says Libor Kutěj, host of the Bulletproof podcast. Setting up non-profit organizations to influence politics and society abroad is quite common for the secret services. They can be useful, for example, in times of social unrest, says Libor Kutěj, who worked for Military Intelligence for a long time and subsequently taught future intelligence officers at the University of Defense. Today, he also works as a vice-rector at this university. “Having a good, well-built and well-placed influencer agency is a news reporter's dream. It can be politicians, especially legislators, who are able to influence public opinion and the laws themselves," he explains, adding that the most common is getting the media for their goals anyway. We've seen two major intelligence failures in recent years - the first with Putin's attack on Ukraine, the second with Hamas clawing its way out of Gaza. The common denominator is that both intelligence services provided the country's leadership with only the information that the officials wanted to hear. "Putin is not crazy, he is a very rational person, and as a former intelligence officer, he believes intelligence information, but that could have been a problem," Kutěj describes in the current episode of the Bulletproof podcast.
