Matthew VanDyke – Some 3 Letter Agency Dude With An Obsessive Compulsion For Publicity

In 2004, VanDyke graduated from the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service with a master’s degree in Security Studies with a Middle East concentration. Georgetown is known to be a major CIA recruiting ground. He has since been ‘filming’, ‘fighting with’ and ‘training’ U.S. aligned forces in Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and Iraq – all more or less in the Middle East. The Ukraine is thereby a curious geographic choice for new activities. Unless you probably work for some U.S. 3 letter agency.
