This post is a detailed summary of the video “Former CIA Spies (NEW): Leave the USA Before 2030! The CIA Tried To Ban This Story!” from The Diary of a CEO. It explores how Andrew and Jihi Bustamante, two ex-CIA officers, were sent on a top-secret mission to uncover a traitor within the agency. Their revelations expose how the CIA manipulates, surveils, and even borrows tactics from terrorists. All key insights and revelations are based on their firsthand accounts.
Who Are Andrew and Jihi Bustamante? 👩❤️👨
Andrew Bustamante wasn’t a movie-style spy—he was a CIA operations officer trained to go undercover, build trust, and extract secrets. Before joining the agency, he served in the Air Force as a nuclear missile officer.
His wife, Jihi, took a different path. She started as a social worker helping torture survivors and refugees, then unexpectedly joined the CIA. There she became a targeting officer, tasked with identifying who should be captured—or even killed—by U.S. forces.
Together, they became a rare “tandem couple” inside the CIA: a real husband-and-wife spy team. They later founded EverydaySpy, teaching everyday people how to apply spy strategies in normal life, and co-authored Shadow Cell, their memoir of hidden CIA missions.
The Mole the CIA Tried to Hide 

The turning point of their careers began with a warning. A foreign ally informed the U.S. that there was a mole inside the CIA—an American officer secretly leaking intelligence to a hostile country, codenamed Falcon.
The Bustamantes were pulled into a closed-door meeting and given an assignment:
•
Build fresh intelligence networks that the mole couldn’t touch.
•
Operate under strict secrecy so the mole wouldn’t know what they were doing.
•
Wait until the mole made mistakes—then catch them.
“The worst thing for any intelligence service is when one of its own officers becomes a spy for the enemy.” — Andrew Bustamante
It was one of the most dangerous roles possible. They weren’t just spying on enemies abroad. They were hunting betrayal inside their own agency.
Inside the Dark World of Espionage 

Once deployed, they quickly learned that real espionage was far more disturbing than Hollywood movies.
•
Fake companies
: Entire businesses created as covers. Some even turned real profits that fed into CIA’s secret “black budget.”
•
Dry-cleaning routes
: Traveling through neutral countries, swapping passports and identities, to hide their true origin.
•
Shadow Cells
: Small teams designed like terrorist networks, so even if one member fell, the rest could continue.
•
Shocking currencies
: Gold coins, luxury liquor, and even illicit material like child pornography—used as bargaining chips with informants.
From Mole Hunt to Personal Risk 
At first, the mission seemed under control. They built contacts, gathered intelligence, and stayed unnoticed. But then, Andrew realized something had changed.
•
The same cars kept appearing behind him.
•
Faces he’d seen earlier in the day showed up again miles away.
•
A creeping certainty grew: he was being tailed.
So he activated a Surveillance Detection Route (SDR)—a series of moves spies use to confirm surveillance.
Eventually, it brought him to a crowded arcade. While pretending to play a dinosaur-shooting game, it happened:
“Two and a half seconds of eye contact can mean the end of your cover.”
Andrew locked eyes with one of his watchers—nicknamed Bomber Jacket. In that instant, both men understood: the operation was compromised.
For Andrew, that meant only one thing: escape. There would be no dramatic helicopter rescue. As he explained:
“In the movies, the cavalry comes. In reality, it’s just you. Self-rescue or nothing.”
He called Jihi on a burner phone with a coded phrase: “I’m coming home early.” She immediately knew something had gone wrong.
That day, their lives hung on improvisation and sheer luck.
Privacy Is Dead 

The Bustamantes don’t just share spy stories—they issue a warning to all of us.
“Privacy is not real. Technology has erased it.”

Why They Plan to Leave America by 2030 


After years of service, why would two patriots choose to leave?

For Andrew and Jihi, the conclusion was clear: the U.S. is changing in ways they can no longer accept.
“When insiders decide to walk away, it’s a signal the system may already be breaking.”
Their deadline is set: by 2030, they will relocate their family abroad.
Final Takeaway 
This isn’t just another spy thriller. It’s a wake-up call.
