	How The CIA Used Vampires To Fight Communism	19 Jun 2026	00:18:57
In the 1950s, the CIA helped the Philippine government fight communist rebels known as the Huks. But instead of relying only on bullets and bombs, one American operative turned to something far stranger: vampire folklore. This episode tells the bizarre true story of Edward Lansdale, the Aswang legend, and one of the CIA’s most disturbing psychological warfare operations.

For a fleeing Dutch naval vessel caught up in the middle of the Pacific theatre of war, the best thing they could do to survive was to make their warship look like…an island?

In 1943, British intelligence pulled off one of the most audacious deceptions of the entire war using a dead body, a fake identity, and a briefcase full of lies.
