Ex-Blackwater CEO on Rise of Mercenaries, 9/11, & USS Cole Attack - Erik Prince (Video)
What’s life really like as a CIA NOC?
In this 11 September 2025 published video, host Julian Dorey talks with Erik Prince—the founder and former CEO of Blackwater—who pulls back the curtain on what it means to operate as a Non-Official Cover (NOC) for the CIA.
Prince shares his first-hand perspective on the blurred lines between private contractors, intelligence work, and America’s shadow wars abroad. From covert missions to the quiet alliances between government agencies and private security networks, this is a rare inside look at how power is exercised far away from public view.
Inside this episode:
- Erik Prince explains what it means to live as a CIA NOC
- The blurred lines between private contractors and U.S. intelligence
- How Blackwater became an extension of America’s shadow foreign policy
- The hidden costs of operating outside official cover
- Why private networks are often as powerful as nation states
This isn’t just about Erik Prince—it’s about the hidden world where intelligence, business, and covert power collide.
