No, the fish guy in Montana who confronted Tucker Carlson probably didn’t work for the CIA. He was part of an Asia Foundation-sponsored ecology group in Mongolia studying Taimen fish. You can find his paper on it (it’s cited in other papers too).
It’s kinda outlandish to suggest that every academic who gets involved with the TAF (which for all intents and purposes remains above board) is an agent, anyway. What purpose is there for a CIA agent to blow his cover by making himself look like an asshole on the internet?
I don’t need the dumb contextless screenshots in the original tweet. I have my own screenshots. Yes it’s the same guy. No, it doesn’t mean he works for the CIA.

Would it shock you to know that a lot of scientists, etc. work with non-profits (even former CIA fronts) like the TAF, or even govt agencies for academic purposes? That doesn’t make them agents.
