The long-awaited JFK files have finally been released, and one of the most revealing details isn't what's in them—but what the CIA wanted to keep hidden. Among the redactions in the report, one stands out: “The Israeli Intelligence Service.” Why was this information deemed too sensitive for public eyes, even after all these years? In this episode, I break down my initial reaction to the files, what this redaction could mean, and how it fits into the bigger picture of JFK's assassination, and American politics in general.—https://policecoffee.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACG7qmIkS3X8ivoZzZosZdSRJueTZ&gclid=Cj0KCQjw1um-BhDtARIsABjU5x6X9JVI5Dihvk6wiS1l5Ra9sToZWRHjj-F0vy3owqCssQ1Bpb0eGaQaAsF1EALw_wcB

In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray talk about what to expect from President Trump's second term. Trump is an activist president who believes in using state power, so intelligence agencies will be pushed to conduct more audacious or even outrageous covert operations. They also discuss concerns about a new UN cybercrime treaty that is set for a vote at the General Assembly and the Canadian government's curious decision to force the closure of TikTok's local offices. This episode is also available on Youtube.

A Note from James:"That was insane. Kevin Shipp, 17 years with the CIA, then, he had some wild experiences that led to him leaving the CIA. He wrote, just published a book that he published without the CIA's permission. It's called Twilight of the Shadow Government.

In this riveting episode I welcome Mick Hawkes, a former British 22 SAS operator, to discuss his military experiences and the transition to his current mission of enhancing rural security. This episode offers a deep dive into the complexities of covert operations, the mindset required for high-stakes missions, and actionable advice for improving security in the agricultural sector.This episode highlights Mick's dedication to leveraging his military expertise to enhance community safety."Michael Hawkes QCB," stands for Queen's Commendation for Bravery, an honour he received for his covert operations in Northern Ireland.This prestigious award was given for his exceptional service during his undercover work. He elaborates on the nature of his work, emphasising the complexities and dangers involved in such missions. Mick reflects on the challenges faced during operations, highlighting the importance of situational awareness and self-protection.He spoke about his time in Northern Ireland, illustrating the skills he developed that are now applicable to his current work. He notes that during his covert operations, he often had to blend into rural environments, which has given him unique insights into the vulnerabilities of farms and rural properties.After leaving the military, Mick found himself living on a farm in a posh area, which sparked his interest in the agricultural industry. Initially focused on personal safety and situational awareness training, he soon recognised a significant gap in security culture within the farming community. Farmers are often easy targets for criminals due to a lack of security measures and awareness.To address this issue, Mick has developed a series of courses aimed at agricultural colleges, focusing on rural situational awareness and farm security. He believes that by teaching young farmers about the tactics used by criminals, they can better protect themselves and their properties.## Captured in Bosnia: A Lesson in Composure - The IncidentThe conversation shifts to a specific incident during Mick's time in Bosnia, where he and a colleague, Billy Billingham, were captured. Mick recounts the experience, noting that while they were detained, they maintained a level of composure that allowed them to gather intelligence on their captors. He describes how Billy, who attempted to communicate in Serbo-Croat, was repeatedly dragged in for questioning, while Mick chose a different tactic for his success.He shares that this mentality of resilience and calmness in the face of adversity is something he has passed on to his children, who are also in the military.## Active Shooter Training: Practical Advice ### Run, Hide, FightMick explains their approach to active shooter training, which involves teaching everyone in a company—from the CEO to the janitor—about their options in a crisis. He outlines the three primary responses: run, hide, and fight. While running and hiding are preferable, he stresses that sometimes fighting back is necessary. He cites examples from real-life situations, such as the Bondi Stabbing incident, where individuals who chose to confront the attacker had a better chance of survival.Mick shares a story about a company in America that sought his advice on security measures. He identified safe havens, where employees could hide during an active shooter situation. By marking these locations with clear signage, he aimed to reduce panic and provide a straightforward solution.### Military ExperiencesWe talked about the differences between various special forces units, specifically comparing the SAS to Delta Force.

This episode is with two researchers of the JFK assassination that have a focused amount of work in the area of Covert Operations in particular as they relate to the context of the cold war. Throughout the episode, we break down evidence, testimonies, and declassified documents that point to the possibility of an internal conspiracy far deeper than the lone gunman theory. We'll dissect the involvement of the CIA, FBI, military-industrial complex, and other key players who had much to gain from JFK's demise, questioning whether the official story holds up in light of the Cold War's covert backdrop. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/out-of-the-blank/support

The title is a joke.....Probably.https://www.patreon.com/isyanderandkoda You already know how to please the Machine Gods at this point so thank you so much. And make your voices heard for which faction you would like to see next! -Isyander Everything below is for the omnissiah. But like, you can read it if you want. Just a synopsis of the video you're watching. The Raven Guard, known as the XIX Legion during the Great Crusade, epitomizes guerilla warfare and covert operations under the leadership of their enigmatic Primarch, Corvus Corax. Originating from the moon Deliverance (originally Lycaeus), they have been stalwart defenders of the Imperium of Man. The Legion's size was relatively small, with a force of 80,000 Astartes. Despite their numbers, they were formidable, employing tactics of mass sabotage, rapid strikes, and expert covert operations, honed to perfection during Corax's revolution against the Tech Guilds of Kiavahr.Corax's upbringing on Deliverance shaped the Raven Guard's future. His revolutionary actions against the oppressive Tech Guilds of Kiavahr were marked by no mercy for the captors and a brutal, short war. His cunning in battle led to the renaming of Lycaeus to Deliverance, symbolizing the liberation from slavery. The dark tower that once held the oppressors became the Raven Guard's fortress, named the Ravenspire, and the source of their future strength during the Great Crusade.The Horus Heresy brought devastation to the Raven Guard. During the infamous Drop Site Massacre on Isstvan V, the Legion's numbers were decimated from 80,000 to a mere 3,000 battle-hardened veterans, a testament to the treachery and brutality of the war. The betrayal by fellow legions marked a dark chapter in the Raven Guard's history, forcing Corax and his warriors to fight in conditions starkly contrary to their preferred tactics of stealth and surprise.Amidst the chaos, the Raptors, an elite group within the Legion, emerged as a meld of regular Astartes and Primarch DNA discovered by Corax on Terra. These warriors were stronger, faster, and tougher than their counterparts, playing a pivotal role in the battles that followed. Despite the mutations and the subsequent internal conflict that nearly tore them apart, the Raptors were given full honors and continued to fight valiantly for the Legion.In the aftermath of the Heresy, the Raven Guard continued to uphold their legacy, participating in key battles across the galaxy. Their engagements, such as the Siege of Baal, the Battle of Arissak, and confrontations against formidable foes like the Death Guard and Emperor's Children, underscore their unwavering dedication to the Imperium.Throughout their history, the Raven Guard has remained a symbol of resilience and adaptability, their very essence shaped by the trials of their Primarch and the relentless battles they have endured. Their story is not just one of warfare but also of survival and undying loyalty to their ideals and the Imperium of Man.TIMESTAMPS —— 0:00:00 Intro0:00:11 Poll Announcement0:01:26 A note on their Stealth0:02:51 The Return of the G.O.A.T.0:10:21 Corax's Upbringing0:18:57 The Raven Guard Before Corax0:28:20 The Raven Guard's Tactics0:40:52 The biggest problem constantly plagueing the Raven Guard0:47:54 Closing Thoughts—————————— TAGSRaven Guard, Corvus Corax, Warhammer 40K, Deliverance, Kiavahr, Great Crusade, Horus Heresy, Istvaan V, Drop Site Massacre, Raptors, Primarch DNA, Guerrilla Warfare, Covert Operations, Imperium of Man, Battles of the Raven Guard.————————————Opinions expressed in this video are solely those of Isyander & Koda and in no way reflect the views or opinions of Games Workshop Ltd.Artwork throughout thSupport the show
