The 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment is America's most lethal and versatile projection of combat power. When our Special Operations Forces require precision insertion, extraction and fire support, the pilots of the 160th deliver. Born from the need to develop an aviation regiment capable of anything, anywhere, anytime, the 160th SOAR is the only Special Operations Unit to have been deployed continuously since inception.To discuss the critical role of the 160th SOAR, their command team of COL Steve Smith and CW5 Pete Sullivan invited Fran Racioppi for a ride on an MH-47 Chinook and demonstration of the AH-64 Little Birds in action. From the tail ramp, we discussed the mission of the 160th, their interoperability supporting Green Berets, Navy SEALs and Army Rangers; and the various aircraft in their arsenal. We also explored the recruiting, assessment and selection process for pilots, crew and maintainers; the culture of an organization that has a no fail mission; and how technology is changing aviation as they prepare to combat both near peer adversaries and terrorist organizations. Watch, listen or read our conversation from the workhorse heavy lift aircraft responsible for the delivery of personnel and equipment in the harshest environments.

The Department of Defense's Office of the Chief Information Officer is considering reducing the number of Pentagon employees who have Microsoft 365 E5 licenses, as it works with the Trump administration to rein in federal spending. The DOD currently maintains more than 2 million Microsoft 365 E5 licenses across two separate programs — the Defense Enterprise Office Solution (DEOS) and the Enterprise Software Initiative (DOD ESI). Through the established contracts, Pentagon components can purchase software licenses for commercial Microsoft products, including Office 365 applications and other collaboration tools. But ongoing efforts spearheaded by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have prompted the Defense Department to review how many of those licenses it actually needs, Katie Arrington, who is performing the duties of Pentagon CIO, told DefenseScoop. Arrington said June 6 in an exclusive interview: “Our Microsoft 365 contract [is a] very big contract here in the Department of Defense. Does every individual in the Department of Defense need an [E5] license? Absolutely not.” With the department's Deputy CIO for the Information Enterprise Bill Dunlap, Arrington has been working alongside her DOGE representative to review individual position descriptions and multi-level securities to determine what level of Microsoft 365 E5 license that person needs, she said. Other criteria being considered include user and mission requirements for office productivity software, as well as collaboration capabilities, a DOD CIO spokesperson told DefenseScoop. Ten congressional Democrats are demanding answers from Palantir about reports that it is aiding the IRS in building a searchable, governmentwide “mega-database” to house Americans' sensitive information. In a letter sent Tuesday to Palantir CEO Alex Karp, the lawmakers argued that the creation of a database of that kind likely violates several federal laws, including the Privacy Act. The Democrats wrote: “The unprecedented possibility of a searchable, ‘mega-database' of tax returns and other data that will potentially be shared with or accessed by other federal agencies is a surveillance nightmare that raises a host of legal concerns, not least that it will make it significantly easier for Donald Trump's Administration to spy on and target his growing list of enemies and other Americans.” The letter, led by Senate Finance Committee ranking member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., follows New York Times reporting last month that detailed the expansion of Palantir's federal government work under the Trump administration, noting that the data-mining giant has received $113 million since the president's January inauguration plus another $795 million award from the Defense Department. According to the Times, Palantir has spoken to IRS and Social Security Administration representatives about buying its tech. The Democrats' letter said Foundry — a Palantir data analysis and organization product — has been deployed at the departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services, as well as the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Institutes of Health.

Are all UFO/UAP encounters the result of deception and disinformation created by the U.S. government? Such claims have been made many times in the past 75 years and have recently been resurrected from the dusty archives of the DoD's UFO Library. In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp discuss the latest attempts by former Defense Department insiders to cast doubt on all UFO cases, incidents, photos, videos, witnesses, and even the testimony of future whistleblowers who have not yet gone public. Can journalists pierce the veil of secrecy and lies? Sometimes. One way to circumvent psyops and outrageous cover stories is to present compelling evidence that the public can evaluate for itself. A video recorded by a military sensor over a conflict zone has been hidden for years. The huge disc-shaped mystery object was seen as it slipped in and out of clouds, abruptly changed direction, and was labeled by the military as a “UAP.” This is the first time the public has been able to see the massive “disc” as it zips into cloud cover, then reverses itself. WATCH THE RAW UAP FOOTAGE HERE : https://youtu.be/lqLPqTheYrg WATCH THE FULL UAP REPORT HERE : https://youtu.be/Zdl1nz3t3DE READ THE FULL UAP REPORT HERE : https://www.weaponizedpodcast.com/news-1/large-disc-uap GOT A TIP? Reach out to us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WeaponizedPodcast@Proton.me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ *** Investigative journalists Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp obtained and are revealing for the first time - military filmed footage of a UAP - officially documented and catalogued within Intelligence Community investigations as “disc” shaped. This UAP of unknown origin displayed abrupt movement and intelligent control, with the absence of thermal propulsion signatures. Official designation of UAP was made by the United States Department of Defense. This designation is currently maintained. DATE / TIME - 23 November 2020 / 11:13 UTC LOCATION - Reconnaissance footage indicates 35°02.91'N, 71°17.86'E IMAGING TYPE - Thermographic / Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) EVENT DESCRIPTION - Filmed by a platform operating under the direction of the United States Air Force, the object was initially passively tracked and is described in official documentation as “navigating through the clouds.” The UAP appears to demonstrate an abrupt directional change. Atmospheric disruption was noted in case documentation - as was the absence of traditional thermal propulsion signatures during performance. Its origin, intent, and capabilities remain unknown. ••• For breaking news, follow Corbell & Knapp on all social media.

Following a recent "bombshell" report by the Wall Street Journal revealing the Pentagon's secretive disinformation efforts involving UFOs since the Cold War, controversy has erupted over the extent of the long-running deception, whether the new "revelations" are actually just more disinfo, and what this means in terms of investigation of "real" UAP incidents.  This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we wade into the controversy, along with an examination of recent statements by the Deputy Director of the DoD's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office regarding its uncovering of evidence of the DoD's deception over the years, as well as the cases involving mysterious "black triangles " that still baffle AARO officials.  Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?

Send us a textOnes Ready goes scorched earth on the Manda Bay attack—a tragic cocktail of leadership failure, intelligence gaps, and straight-up tactical laziness that left Americans dead and a base in flames. This isn't just a “bad day at work” story—this is what happens when we let comfort, complacency, and half-baked threat assessments set the tempo.In this episode, we dissect the 2020 al-Shabaab attack on Manda Bay, Kenya, and the damning DoD report that followed. From unmanned gates to zero reaction plans, we break down just how avoidable this disaster was—and why the term “low-risk” might as well be a death sentence. Hard truths, hard lessons, and no pulled punches.

Send us a textThe Pentagon is getting Spiderwebbed, CENTCOM's begging for a faster arms dealer, and Iran claims it bagged three F-35s (with CGI receipts, naturally). In this no-holds-barred Daily Drop, Jared rips through the absurdity of base security theater, why our military sales process might as well be faxed from 1996, and why trusting SpaceX while threatening to cancel their contracts is peak DoD dysfunction.Also—Space Force can't track satellites if you build a Starbucks next to the antenna, China's nukes are multiplying like rabbits, and apparently 100% ID checks are optional now? Buckle up—this episode's a napalm blast of reality for anyone still clinging to the myth that we're “ready” for the next war. Spoiler: We're not.

The new administration has released several new directives to guide agencies' approach to AI since the beginning of the year. The tech is reshaping the U.S. Coast Guard's core services and pushing its workforce to rethink the service's approach to operations. The Coast Guard has been on a journey to upskill its workforce to better utilize the technology in daily operations. Brian Campo, the service's deputy CIO, discusses the latest AI developments and how the Coast Guard is driving innovation, pointing to the example of the service's Ask Hamilton chatbot, which helps Coast Guard's workforce answer frequently asked questions and find key instructions in their workflows. As an agency with ties to DHS and DOD, the Coast Guard is uniquely positioned to leverage resources and connections between both agencies to drive innovation in monitoring the nation's coastlines and naval boundaries.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Senin, 16 Juni 2025Bacaan: "Ketika pelayan abdi Allah bangun pagi-pagi dan pergi ke luar, maka tampaklah suatu tentara dengan kuda dan kereta ada di sekeliling kota itu. Lalu berkatalah bujangnya itu kepadanya: "Celaka tuanku! Apakah yang akan kita perbuat?" Jawabnya: "Jangan takut, sebab lebih banyak yang menyertai kita dari pada yang menyertai mereka." Lalu berdoalah Elisa: "Ya TUHAN: Bukalah kiranya matanya, supaya ia melihat." Maka TUHAN membuka mata bujang itu, sehingga ia melihat. Tampaklah gunung itu penuh dengan kuda dan kereta berapi sekeliling Elisa." (2 Raja-raja 6:15-17) Renungan: Mata jasmani terbentur pada sebuah tembok tetapi mata iman melompati tembok. Mata jasmani melihat kegelapan tetapi mata iman menjangkau secercah sinar di balik kegelapan. Mata jasmani menimbulkan keputusasaan tetapi mata iman menimbulkan kekuatan dan pengharapan. Mata iman menjadikan tenang di kala badai menerpa, terhibur ketika kesedihan mendera, tersenyum di balik duka, berbahagia di tengah kepedihan, dan menemukan jalan ketika tiada jalan. Dalam 2 Raj 6:15-17 kita melihat tentara Raja Aram datang mengepung kota Dotan di mana Elisa berada. Dan ketika pelayan abdi Tuhan, Gehazi, melihat tentara Aram yang besar itu, maka ia ketakutan dan memberitahukan kepada Elisa, namun Elisa hanya berkata, "Jangan takut, sebab lebih banyak yang menyertai kita dari pada yang menyertai mereka." Gehazi dengan mata jasmaninya, melihat tentara Aram yang besar sehingga membuat ia gemetar ketakutan. Sedangkan nabi Elisa dengan mata iman, melihat tentara Tuhan yang jauh lebih besar. Gehazi hanya mampu melihat situasi yang dia hadapi dengan mata jasmani. Oleh sebab itulah Nabi Elisa berdoa, "Ya Tuhan, bukalah kiranya matanya supaya ia melihat." Maka Gehazi mulai memiliki mata yang melihat. Nabi Elisa menjalani jenis kehidupan "hidup bukan karena melihat tetapi karena percaya" (2 Kor 5:7). Sedangkan pelayan abdi Tuhan itu menjalani kehidupan yang "memiliki mata namun tidak melihat" (Mrk 8:18). Seringkali kita juga menjalani kehidupan kekristenan Gehazi, kehidupan yang tidak seimbang. Dengan kata lain, mata jasmani bertindak dan berpengaruh jauh lebih besar dari mata iman. Akhirnya, kehidupan kekristenan yang kita jalani adalah kehidupan yang uring-uringan karena sebuah masalah, penuh dengan kecemasan, ketakutan, dan kekalahan; tidak memiliki sikap iman di dalam Tuhan; kering akan campur tangan Tuhan. Ini bukanlah kehidupan yang Tuhan inginkan! Kita harus mempunyai keyakinan bahwa Tuhan mengontrol seluruh kehidupan kita. Tuhan yang kita sembah adalah Tuhan yang besar, yang bukan sekadar mampu menciptakan langit dan bumi, tetapi juga mampu mengubah situasi dan kesusahan yang kita hadapi. Untuk itulah kita harus dapat melihat segala keadaan dengan mata iman, agar di setiap sudut jalan kehidupan, kita menemukan campur tangan Tuhan. Jika kita hanya hidup dengan mata jasmani, maka kecillah kekuatan kita, tetapi ketika kita hidup dengan mata iman, maka kita lebih dari seorang pemenang. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, aku rindu senantiasa menikmati campur tangan-Mu dalam hidupku. Bukalah mata imanku untuk melihat dan merasakan keajaiban-Mu. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Minggu,15 Juni 2025Bacaan: "Lalu aku mengarahkan mukaku kepada Tuhan Allah untuk berdoa dan bermohon, sambil berpuasa dan mengenakan kain kabung serta abu." (Daniel 9:3) Renungan: Di sebuah desa, tinggallah seorang pensiunan tentara yang kemudian dikenal sebagai "Pahlawan doa". Dia mendapat julukan demikian, karena ia selalu bercerita tentang kebiasaannya berdoa dan berdoa. "Kalau tidak percaya, datanglah ke rumahku dan kalian akan melihat puluhan toples penuh berisi dengan kenari," kata pensiunan tentara itu bangga. Beberapa orang yang pernah ke rumahnya membenarkan perkataannya. Ternyata di rumahnya yang tidak terlalu luas, terlihat banyak sekali toples penuh berisi dengan kenari. "Tapi, apa hubungannya toples-toples berisi kenari ini dengan kehidupan doa Bapak?" tanya seseorang yang penasaran ketika berkunjung ke rumahnya. "Setiap kali aku memanjatkan doa, aku akan memasukkan sebiji kenari ke dalam toples. Jika aku berhasil mengumpulkan bertoples-toples kenari, itu artinya aku telah memanjatkan banyak sekali doa kepada Tuhan," katanya bangga. Setiap hari, pensiunan itu akan berdiri sejenak di depan toples-toplesnya dengan perasaan bangga karena ia telah banyak memanjatkan doa. Suatu malam ia bermimpi. Di dalam mimpinya itu, ia melihat seorang berjubah putih datang kepadanya. Orang berjubah itu semakin mendekat, sehingga pensiunan itu dapat mengenali siapa dia. Ternyata tidak lain, Dia adalah Tuhan Yesus. Dengan tatapan penuh belas kasihan, Yesus berkata kepadanya, "Ambillah sebuah palu, dan pecahkanlah setiap kenari yang sudah kau masukkan ke dalam toplesmu." Pensiunan itu segera mengambil palu dan melakukan apa yang Tuhan perintahkan kepadanya. Betapa kagetnya dia, karena setiap kali memalu kenari-kenarinya, ternyata isi di dalamnya sudah mengering. Bunyi palu yang nyaring beradu dengan kulit kenari itu menunjukkan kenari-kenari yang disimpannya ternyata kosong tidak ada isinya. "Apa arti semua ini Tuhan?" tanyanya sedih. "Banyak sekali doa yang sudah kau naikkan, tapi sebagaimana halnya kenari-kenari yang kosong itu, demikian juga doa-doamu merupakan doa-doa yang kosong tiada makna. Kau memanjatkan doa yang hanya merupakan susunan kata-kata yang sudah dihafalkan. Kau tidak pernah menghayati doa yang kau panjatkan, apalagi bersungguh hati melakukannya. Kau hanya melakukannya sebagai rutinitas yang mendatangkan kebanggaan tersendiri dalam hatimu, dan bukan karena kau ingin berbicara denganku." Sang pensiunan itu tertunduk sedih sambil menangis. Doa bukan sekadar memanjatkan rangkaian kata-kata atau kebiasaan rutin agar hati kita merasa puas, setidak-tidaknya karena kita rajin melakukannya. Doa merupakan persekutuan kita dengan Tuhan, komunikasi yang terjalin indah antara manusia dengan Tuhannya. Di dalam doa kita mengungkapkan isi hati kita yang terdalam kepada Tuhan, dan kita pun membiarkan Dia mencurahkan isi hati-Nya dengan cara-Nya sendiri. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, di dalam doa aku menikmati kehadiran dan jamahan-Mu yang menguatkan dan menghiburku. Ajarilah aku bersungguh hati dalam berdoa. Amin. (Dod).

Meghan Lapp is leading the charge to save the commercial fishing industry and bringing up a national security risk. How, you might ask, are offshore wind farms a huge problem?The Empire Wind Project, a controversial offshore wind farm near New York, has raised national security and environmental concerns due to its location near JFK flight paths, potential radar interference, and disruption of vital fishing grounds. Meghan Lapp, a fisheries expert, warns that the project—partly owned by Norway's state was rushed through permitting without proper oversight, may obstruct air defense capabilities, and could endanger marine life and navigation. Despite a brief halt by the Trump administration, the project resumed amid speculation of a pipeline deal, drawing scrutiny over regulatory failures and political motivations.Highlights of the Podcast00:00 – Introduction03:13 – Empire Wind Project Controversy05:28 – Alleged Pipeline Deal & Foreign Ownership08:15 – Radar Interference and JFK Airport Risks11:19 – DOD and FAA Inter-agency Failures14:24 – Deceptive Status Claims and Construction Reality17:09 – Maritime Safety and Historic Collisions20:01 – Tower Size and Ecological Blind Spots23:26 – Vineyard Wind and Tax Loopholes27:17 – Falsified Safety Data and National Security Concerns30:44 – Trump Admin Review and Industry Hope33:58 – Structural Governance Problems36:41 – Disparity in Regulation Between Oil/Gas and Wind39:20 – Microplastics and Blade Deterioration42:05 – Reclamation Costs and Industry Burden44:13 – Final Plea for Government Attention46:36 – Conclusion and Call to Action

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Sabtu, 14 Juni 2025Bacaan: "Janganlah membalas kejahatan dengan kejahatan; lakukanlah apa yang baik bagi semua orang! Sedapat-dapatnya, kalau hal itu bergantung padamu, hiduplah dalam perdamaian dengan semua orang!" (Roma 12:17-18) Renungan: Janganlah membalas kejahatan dengan kejahatan, hiduplah dalam perdamaian dengan semua orang! Kedengarannya sangat idealis bukan? Seorang wanita muda pernah berkata, "Bagaimana mungkin saya bisa hidup berdamai kalau orangnya tetap benci pada saya." Ada dua kalimat penting yang perlu diperhatikan ketika perintah ini diberikan: "sedapat-dapatnya" dan "kalau hal itu bergantung padamu". Manusia yang sudah tercemar oleh dosa dan keinginan hati yang selalu bertolak belakang dengan kehendak Allah membuat kita tidak mungkin memaksakan seseorang untuk hidup damai dengan kita. Maksud dari dua kalimat penting di atas adalah bagaimana kita mengusahakan dari dalam diri kita sendiri untuk hidup damai dengan semua orang. Kita memang tidak bisa memaksakan orang lain dan mengendalikan hidup mereka, tetapi kita bertanggung jawab atas diri kita sendiri. Ada cerita tentang sebuah keluarga yang pindah ke kota lain. Suatu hari, anak laki-laki dari keluarga tersebut berjalan-jalan sambil membawa serta kucing kesayangannya. Dalam perjalanan ia bertemu dengan anak-anak nakal di kota itu. Anak-anak nakal tersebut mengajaknya untuk ikut bergabung, tetapi anak laki-laki tersebut menolak. Anak-anak nakal mengancamnya jika tidak mau bergabung, mereka akan membunuh kucing kesayangannya. Meski demikian, anak itu tetap menolak untuk bergabung dengan mereka. Di waktu yang lain ketika ia berjalan-jalan lagi dengan kucingnya, anak-anak nakal kota itu kembali mengancamnya. Mereka bahkan menghina kucingnya, "Kucing jelek, berbadan besar, kaki panjang, ekor pendek dan mata tajam," kata mereka. "Jika engkau tidak mau bergabung dengan kami, maka aku akan memanggil anjingku agar ia membunuh kucing jelekmu." sambung salah seorang dari anak nakal itu. Karena anak itu tetap menolak, maka dengan satu suitan, salah seorang dari anak nakal tadi memanggil anjingnya yang segera berlari keluar dari rumah. Belum sempat si anjing menerjang, kucing itu sudah menyambar dengan lincahnya, menggigit, menyobek-nyobek tubuh si anjing kemudian menelannya. Anak-anak nakal itu menjadi takut, "Kucing jenis apa ini?" tanya mereka. "Saya tidak tahu dia harus disebut sebagai kucing jenis apa. Yang pasti, sebelum kami memotong ekornya dan mengecat bulunya, ia adalah seekor harimau." Bagaimana pun, di dalam diri kita ada tabiat dosa, masih ada sisa-sisa sifat "harimau" yang kadang-kadang muncul di saat tekanan datang. Jika kita terus membiarkan diri kita dikendalikan oleh sifat-sifat lama, maka kita akan sangat sulit mengasihi, kita akan membalas kejahatan dengan kejahatan, kita tidak akan suka berdamai, kita menyimpan dendam serta kepahitan di dalam hati dan membiarkan perselisihan terus meruncing. Jangan hanya menunjukkan perubahan luar, tetapi biarlah perubahan itu sampai ke dalam. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, lembutkanlah hatiku agar aku tidak membalas kejahatan dengan kejahatan dan agar aku bisa hidup berdamai dengan semua orang. Amin. (Dod).

This week, I discuss with Patricia Underwood, Ph.D., DABT, MBA, Chief Toxicologist, Principal Director – Chemical and Material Risk Management, Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Department of Defense, and my colleague, Richard E. Engler, Ph.D., Director of Chemistry for B&C and The Acta Group (Acta®), our consulting affiliate, the U.S. Department of Defense's (DOD) recent Request for Information (RFI) on chemicals undergoing U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) review as part of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Section 6 risk evaluation process. DOD has a significant need for certain chemicals but admittedly has no tracking system for upstream applications of chemicals to understand the implications of EPA's identification of high priority substances and risk evaluation of them under TSCA Section 6. Dr. Underwood and Dr. Engler discuss the recent RFI issued by DOD to provide this line of sight and they reflect upon the growing importance of supply chain transparency in DOD applications and in the private sector as a whole.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Jumat, 13 Juni 2025Bacaan: "Karena itu, sebagai orang-orang pilihan Allah yang dikuduskan dan dikasihi-Nya, kenakanlah belas kasihan, kemurahan, kerendahan hati, kelemahlembutan dan kesabaran." (Kolose 3:12) Renungan: Emosi yang meledak-ledak sering membuat kita kehilangan kendali, sehingga kita terpancing mengeluarkan kata-kata kasar untuk melampiaskan rasa marah itu. Kadangkala seorang ibu terpancing emosinya tatkala salah satu dari barang kesayangannya pecah oleh anak atau pembantunya yang tanpa sengaja telah menghancurkan barang kesayangannya. la mengeluarkan kata-kata yang sangat kasar dan melukai hati mereka yang ia sayangi. Sebenarnya jika diperhadapkan kepada pilihan, mana yang lebih baik hancur, benda mati itu atau hati anaknya, maka ia pasti akan memilih benda mati itu. Tetapi emosi yang meledak-ledak membuatnya tidak memikirkan hal ini. Suatu kali Christine yang baru saja menikah, mengendarai mobil hadiah pernikahan yang diberikan suaminya kepadanya. Di perjalanan, di sebuah tikungan tajam ia menabrak mobil orang lain. Christine segera menepi dan dalam keadaan shock ia menangis di dalam mobil. Ternyata yang mengemudikan mobil yang ditabrak Christine adalah seorang pria yang sudah berumur. Pria itu turun dari mobilnya dan berjalan memeriksa mobil mereka, ia melihat bemper mobil Christine rusak parah oleh kecelakaan itu. "Apakah Anda baik-baik saja? Bemper mobil Anda rusak parah Nyonya," kata pria itu kepada Christine. "Saya baik-baik saja. Saya baru saja menikah dan suami saya memberi mobil ini kepada saya sebagai hadiah pernikahan kami. la pasti akan sangat marah, sekarang saya tidak tahu apa yang harus saya lakukan," jawabnya sambil terisak-isak. "Saya yakin semuanya akan baik-baik saja, suami Anda pasti akan mengerti," kata pria itu menenangkan Christine. Mereka berbicara dalam beberapa menit, kemudian pria bijak itu berkata, "Jika saya bisa mendapatkan informasi asuransi Anda, saya yang akan menanggungnya, dan kita bisa melanjutkan perjalanan kita masing-masing. Semuanya akan baik-baik saja Nyonya." "Saya tidak tahu apakah mobil ini sudah diasuransikan, "jawabnya dengan suara serak. "Mengapa Anda tidak memeriksanya, biasanya ada di laci itu," kata pria itu memberi saran. Christine pun membuka laci mobilnya dan menemukan sebuah kartu asuransi bersama amplop lain yang berisikan surat, "Sayang, jika engkau mengalami kecelakaan, tolong ingat bahwa aku mencintaimu, bukan mobil ini!" Uang yang hilang atau barang yang hancur bisa kita ganti, tetapi hati yang hancur karena perlakuan kasar akan meninggalkan luka. Baiklah kita menjadi bijak menjalani hari-hari ini dengan memegang prinsip: Lebih mencintai sesama daripada barang mewah sekalipun. Inilah prinsip yang dibawa Tuhan Yesus. la turun ke bumi dengan meninggalkan Sorga yang megah untuk menebus dan memulihkan keadaan manusia; bukan untuk memulihkan bumi ciptaan-Nya yang semakin rusak. Manusia jauh lebih penting di hadapan-Nya, dan Dia akan memberi bumi yang baru sebagai tempat bagi manusia yang sudah dipulihkan-Nya. Hidupilah prinsip Kristus yang indah ini! Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, ampunilah aku yang menyakiti hati sesamaku karena aku tidak menghidupi prinsip mengasihi sesama seperti diriku sendiri. Amin. (Dod).

Throughout the Cold War, the Pentagon secretly produced fake images, documents, and other materials related to alleged UFO programs, which were leaked through covert placement in public areas, dissemination through the UFO community, and even shown during fake briefings provided to members of the U.S. military. Today, the full extent of the secretive disinformation campaign remains unknown, and questions linger over why it was carried out.  All of this, according to recent explosive allegations published by the Wall Street Journal, which claim that the secretive effort was uncovered by investigators with the DoD's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we take a deep dive into the claims, and uncover why the supposedly "new" revelations are actually just the latest retelling of a decades old narrative involving UFO disinformation by the U.S. government.  Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?

In this episode, we sit down with Jeff, a seasoned veteran of both military and construction tech, to explore the parallels between warfighter support and field technology in construction. From his background in the New Zealand Army to developing tools for the U.S. DoD, Jeff shares powerful insights about product bias, user experience, and how tech must serve those at the sharp end of the spear. We discuss what goes wrong when tech is built in silos, the importance of post-sales support, and why field adoption is the true measure of success. Whether you're a startup founder, a field leader, or a technologist, this is a must-listen on how to build tools that actually work—for the people who need them most.0:00 – What really matters in product success: post-sale support1:00 – Jeff's military background and transition to construction tech3:00 – Comparing warfighters and constructors: tools, stress, and stakes7:00 – The disconnect between tech builders and field users10:30 – Why engineering bias can derail adoption17:00 – Designing for real personas, not ideal users22:00 – Field implementation: the napkin vs the model27:00 – The power of third-party feedback and checking your “true north”35:00 – Workflow integration: A to E to C to O41:00 – Tech adoption fails without a field-level incentive47:00 – The reality of scaling tech in the U.S. market50:00 – SMB vs enterprise: choosing who you're really building for

Technology and software development can take years to field capabilities that may no longer meet mission needs once they reach the finish line. Some department compliance practices can add 12-18 months for authorization. At the AWS Summit in Washington, D.C., Marine Corps Community Services Digital Program Manager David Raley said that his office is accelerating the development and approval processes for mission capability. Raley highlighted solutions like AWS GovCloud and a certified DevSecOps platform that help reduce authorization times from a year to 15 minutes. Raley also talked about the ways DOD is advancing zero trust implementation and security in cloud-native environments.

In this episode, Major Ceara Riggs, Associate Professor in the Administrative and Civil Law Department (ADA) at The Judge Advocate General's Legal Center and School (TJAGLCS) interviews Ms. Traci Voelke, Legal Assistance Attorney at Fort Belvoir and Gold Star Spouse. Ms. Voelke discusses various benefits available to the surviving spouses and children of Service members who have died while serving. Ms. Voelke explains the importance of available benefits, the timelines and processes for electing such benefits, and how various benefits interact or offset each other so families can make informed decisions and Judge Advocates can appropriately advise commanders. Ms. Voelke's husband, MAJ Paul Voelke, was killed in Afghanistan in 2012 while on his fifth deployment. Despite being the family care team coordinator for her husband's unit, she was not prepared for the myriad of benefit complexities that ensued but has since learned about the benefits available and advocated for additional benefits for surviving family members. Outside of her military work, she also serves as a board member and Survivor Outreach Coordinator for the 98 Fund / the Alaska Project, advises the Chief of Staff of the Army and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs on issues affecting military survivors as part of the Survivor Advisory Working Group, and recently served on the DoD working group, “Making Your Final Wishes Known.”

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Kamis, 12 Juni 2025Bacaan: "Tetapi, jikalau kamu bebas dari ganjaran, yang harus diderita setiap orang, maka kamu bukanlah anak, tetapi anak-anak gampang.Memang tiap-tiap ganjaran pada waktu ia diberikan tidak mendatangkan sukacita, tetapi dukacita. Tetapi kemudian ia menghasilkan buah kebenaran yang memberikan damai kepada mereka yang dilatih olehnya." (Ibrani 12:8, 11)Renungan: Suatu kali ada sebuah tulisan singkat di internet yang isinya sungguh bagus. Isinya seperti ini, "Jika seseorang mendapat rumah besar, itu adalah berkat. Tetapi, harus merawatnya, itu adalah beban. Jika seseorang mempunyai bayi, itu adalah berkat. Tetapi, harus bangun tengah malam, itu adalah beban. Jika seseorang mencapai gelar sarjana, itu adalah berkat. Tetapi, harus belajar dengan tekun, itu adalah beban. Jika kita mendapat kesembuhan, itu adalah berkat. Tetapi, harus tetap serius menjaga kesehatan, itu adalah beban. Berkat dan beban adalah satu paket yang tidak dapat dipisahkan. Kita tidak dapat hanya meminta berkat tanpa mendapat beban. Jika kita memusatkan perhatian kita kepada beban, maka kita tidak pernah merasakan berkatnya. Tetapi, apabila kita memusatkan perhatian kita kepada berkat, maka kita akan merasa ringan untuk menanggung bebannya." Dari sini secara jelas kita dapat memahami bahwa hidup tidak semudah yang dibayangkan. Hidup ini pada dasarnya adalah berkat tetapi juga beban. Bagi seseorang yang ingin berkatnya saja dan tidak ingin menerima bebannya, biasanya akan kesulitan untuk bersyukur, karena dia akan selalu merasa kekurangan. Entah hidup ini terlihat baik atau buruk, bukan berarti kita tidak memiliki apa pun untuk disyukuri. Baik buruknya sesuatu, semua tergantung pada bagaimana cara kita memandang dan ke mana fokus kita. Sebab, tak ada kebahagiaan tanpa pengorbanan, tak ada kedamaian tanpa pengekangan diri, dan tak ada kesuksesan tanpa kelelahan. Ketika kita melihat kehidupan para artis Hollywood, yang terlihat adalah kemewahan dan rasanya kita pun ingin berada di posisi mereka. Mereka terkenal, dikagumi banyak orang, memiliki banyak uang, tetapi siapa yang tahu bahwa di balik kehidupan mereka yang serba glamor itu justru ada banyak tekanan. Mereka bersaing ketat bahkan saling menjatuhkan, hidup mereka diatur, bahkan mereka tak dapat menikmati makanan dan minuman kesukaan mereka setiap waktu, demi menjaga kebugaran tubuh. Beban dan berkat itu selalu berjalan beriringan, kita tak dapat melepaskan salah satunya. Tidak ada hidup yang hanya dipenuhi dengan masalah, pasti ada sukacita juga. Begitupun sebaliknya. Oleh karena itu, mari kita fokuskan diri kepada berkat dan bukannya kepada beban. Yang patut dilakukan saat ini adalah bersyukur senantiasa kepada Tuhan, karena bersyukur jauh lebih baik daripada mengeluh. Bagi orang yang mengeluh, sukacita akan dikalahkan oleh dukacita. Sebaliknya, bagi orang yang bersyukur, dukacita akan dikalahkan oleh sukacita. Oleh sebab itu, bersyukurlah karena itu membuat kita bahagia dan Tuhan menyukai orang yang bersyukur. Ingat, keluhan hanya membuat hari-hari kita suram dan akan membuat kita melewatkan berkat-berkat Tuhan. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih untuk setiap berkat yang Kau berikan padaku, tetapi di baliknya ada beban yang harus kutanggung. Ajarilah aku untuk tetap bersyukur. Amin. (Dod).

Send us a textBuckle up. In this Daily Drop, Jared steamrolls through a Pentagon fever dream where California governors cry about sovereignty, the Air Force funds anxiety nap pods, and Russia's Spiderweb drone strikes are the new nightmare fuel. Meanwhile, Trump deploys 2,000 National Guard troops to L.A., the Air Force downs another billion on wingman drones, and Space Force is somehow both broke and booming.The DoD can't acquire software on time, the Air Force is buying nap boxes instead of fixing actual morale, and Space Force wants $4B more to figure out what they even do. If you were hoping for clarity, this ain't it. But if you like chaos with a side of sarcasm and defense budget insanity—you're in the right place.

Former AARO director Sean Kirkpatrick is still carrying a torch for his lost love. Although his tenure at the UFO agency was brief, the lovesick Dr. Kirkpatrick can't let go of his former paramour - flying saucers. In the first part of a multi-segment propaganda piece, Dr. K. unleashed his pent-up fury about those sexy flying machines in a preposterous fusillade of invective and falsehoods, telling the Wall Street Journal that every UFO incident in the last 78 years was actually secret U.S. technology. Kirkpatrick (and his AARO successor) admitted that the DOD has lied to the American public, misled Congress, and deceived high-ranking military officers over decades. So, after three-quarters of a century of fibs, disinfo, and outright prevarications, should we now accept the latest round of lies as truth? Oh sure. In this episode of Weaponized, Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp respond to the laughable - and sad - attempt to further muddy the UFO waters. Also, the podcast is joined by two esteemed observers of UFO politics, including bestselling novelist and screenwriter Ernie Cline (Ready Player One) and podcaster/rock and roll entrepreneur Dan Cleary, who shared their experiences at the recent Contact in the Desert mega-conference.

Dozens of military service members are currently being discharged after they declined the flu shot, citing medical, religious, and Constitutional reasons. They have been discriminated against, put on leave without pay, and ordered before military discharge boards.This week, The Feds hosts four military service members who are currently facing discharge:Brennan Schilperoort “Skip”, Major, US Air Force Air Mobility CommandChris Babscak, Technical Sergeant, Arkansas Air National GuardKim Bitter, Major, Nurse in the US Air Force ReserveTony Oslin, Technical Sergeant, Air Force National GuardIn this episode, we discuss how the flu shot requirement is inherently discriminatory, the fact that these harms are still continuing under the second Trump administration, how the wrongs can be righted and how to avoid unconstitutional actions like these in the future.An update to the DoD policy on flu shots states that the flu shot will only be given to “Service members” when it “most directly contributes to readiness”. As of May 29, 2025, the regulations have been updated to change the specifications for who is required to get a flu shot and who is not, but the actions to sever members from military service for exercising their rights to refuse an injection continue.To see the memo yourself please see these posts on X: https://x.com/RealChapAmerica/status/1930304887750853054 https://x.com/PamLongCO/status/1930980255717601765If you want to join the military members and supporters in a pledge to seek accountability for unlawful actions being taken please sign the declaration here: https://militaryaccountability.net If you are ready to take further action, please contact your senators and representatives and make your voice be heard. https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative Check out Feds For Freedom's SubstackWatch and listen to The Feds on any of these platforms: https://taplink.cc/fedsforfreedomSupport the Work and Become a Member of Feds For Freedom www.fedsforfreedom.org/joinFollow Feds For Freedom on Social Media Instagram/X (Twitter)/Facebook: @feds4freedomusa

A separation health assessment administered to more than 50,000 service members found that about 67 percent of troops screened positive for at least one mental health condition. Post-traumatic stress disorder and depression were among the most common issues identified. A government watchdog found that over 50 percent of service members declined referrals to the DoD's inTransition program that provides mental health resources during transition periods. DoD officials told the Government Accountability Office that many factors may contribute to the high rate of positive screenings among separating service members, including that many intend to file disability claims.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Between 2008 and 2010, a secretive program within the Defense Intelligence Agency investigated several high-profile UAP incidents, exploring their national defense implications and the possibility of whether new technologies could be derived from their study. Known as the Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program (AAWSAP), the program was the catalyst behind a resurgence in interest in mysterious aerial phenomena that would occur several years later once The New York Times revealed the existence of the program.  This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at the recent revelation that official documents produced by Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies, the official contractor for the DIA's AAWSAP program, have leaked online. Specifically, we explore new revelations that have come to light about the program's investigation into one of modern history's most famous cases: the 2004 USS Nimitz "Tic Tac" incident. What do the documents reveal, and how does it compare to existing knowledge about this landmark UAP case?  Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?

Send us a textIn this chaotic return to the Daily Drop, Jared barrels through a no-holds-barred rundown of DOD chaos, diplomatic double-speak, and the ongoing clown show in space. The Pentagon's trying to win hearts and minds in Somalia with airstrikes, Space Force is low-key getting circled by Russian sats, and we're hoping AI can save Indopaycom's wargames. Spoiler: it won't.Jared dives into all of it — including the Thunderbirds doc that actually slapped (yes, really), privatized base hotels, and a new Kunsan commander who's literally cleaning up her husband's mess. There's also a raw take on the mental health industrial complex and why adding more psychologists might not fix what's broken.Unfiltered. Unscripted. Possibly unhinged. This is the military news you should be getting, but definitely won't from Public Affairs.
