Tensions between the United States and Venezuela are rapidly intensifying. Just hours after Caracas condemned a U.S. strike that killed 11 people, President Trump announced a second attack on a Venezuelan boat, killing three more. Washington calls the dead “narcoterrorists,” while Venezuela denounces the strikes as “heinous crimes.” With two lethal encounters in just days, fears are mounting that these clashes could spiral into a wider regional conflict — or even outright war.

Send us a textThe invisible weight of service doesn't end when the uniform comes off. For Marine Corps veteran Garrett Biss, the toughest battle began after 17 years of active duty—asking, “Who am I without my uniform?”In this powerful conversation, Garrett introduces the idea of the “dichotomous ego,” where service members are lifted by their role yet driven by constant criticism. When the uniform is gone, many retain only the inner voice saying they're never enough—fueling anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts.Garrett shares how embracing authenticity closed the gap between who he was and how he showed up in the world. His message to veterans: choose what truly fills your inner void, not just what numbs it temporarily.This episode is a must-listen for veterans, loved ones, and anyone seeking to understand the hidden struggles of transition.

Would our troops be used to quell demonstrations in the United States with force? Seeing crowds in Washington, D.C., during the George Floyd riots in 2020, Trump is reported to have asked "Can't we just shoot them?" How do we answer the question as to whether the current administration will have U.S. troops fire on the crowds? We will look at the Constitution, especially the 10th Amendment, the Insurrection Act of 1807, and the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. We will review some history where the military has been used domestically to safeguard civil rights marchers, intervene when requested by governors during violent riots, to stop the Bonus March on Washington in 1932, and to imprison Japanese civilians during World War II. We will also define who is in today's military, where do they come from, how do they line up politically—and would they follow an illegal order and fire on unarmed civilian demonstrators or support a government coup? This is concerning, says Dr. Michael Baker, given the militarization of ICE agents and the deployment of National Guard troops and the Marines to Los Angeles for specious reasons. About the Speaker Dr. Michael Baker recently retired from a 40-year career in general, vascular and trauma surgery. He also served 30 years in the uniform of his country and retired with the rank of Rear Admiral and has numerous kudos, including 3 Legion of Merit Awards, the Combat Action Ribbon, and River and Coastal Patrol Officer-in-Charge warfare pin.

What does project management really look like once you take off the uniform? In this episode, we sit down with Mike Falcho, a retired Air Force Loadmaster who used AF COOL to earn his PMP through Vets2PM before transitioning into his civilian career. Today, Mike works at the Navy Nuclear Laboratory alongside engineers and scientists, helping to make the business more effective and efficient.Mike shares his story of separating from the Air Force in 2018, why timing certifications before transition matters, and how the PMP opened doors in the civilian sector. Together, we tackle some of the biggest myths about project management, including:“You don't need a degree” — why it's often expected, and how to prepare while still in service.“Project managers do everything” — the reality of specialized roles in different industries.The hard truth about expectations when entering civilian life, and why humility and adaptability go a long way.We also dig into the tools and skills veterans should get comfortable with and why continuous learning beyond the PMP is key to long-term success.If you're considering project management as a career after the military, this episode gives you an honest look at the opportunities, challenges, and lessons learned along the way.Connect with Mike: linkedin.com/in/michael-falcho-434665135Check out Vets2PM.com/pmp for more details on how you can earn your PMP!

In Plain Sight: A Memoir Infused with Military Psychological Operationsis the raw, introspective autobiography of Jonathan Mark Haber, a Brooklyn-born activist whose relentless quest for truth spans government conspiracies, military psy-ops, and spiritual awakening.The narrative begins in 1960s Brooklyn, where the assassinations of JFK, MLK, and RFK, the Vietnam War, and nuclear brinkmanship ignite Haber's activism. From draft resistance and communal living to building a family in rural Massachusetts, each step fuels his resolve to expose hidden forces shaping history.Central to his journey is a spiritual and political awakening guided by mentors like Karl Grossman, Elwood Babbitt, Eckhart Tolle, and Manhattan Project/NASA whistleblower Bart Jordan. Their insights propel his work with Flyby News, where he challenges official narratives—from the Cassini flyby and 9/11 to COVID-19—revealing the pervasive reach of military psychological operations.A defining collaboration with Jordan uncovers evidence of ancient Martian artifacts and languages, suggesting a pre-ice-age warning: humanity must break war's cyclical destruction or face oblivion. (Further details are explored in FlybyNews.com and on YouTube: "Bart Jordan: Manhattan Project NASA Whistleblower.")Interwoven with investigative rigor is Haber's personal battle—chronic pain, kidney failure, and profound loss—met with resilience and a belief in love's transformative power. More than a memoir, In Plain Sight is a call to confront deception and forge a future rooted in peace.https://amzn.to/3ImWDCwBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves breaks down what it means to be diagnosed with “military neck”—a reduced or flattened curvature in the cervical spine. He explains how posture, tight muscles, and movement patterns contribute to this condition and why focusing on symptoms and movement (rather than perfect alignment) is the key to relief.Listeners will learn how issues in the low back and mid-back affect the neck, why accessory muscles in the shoulders and neck often become overloaded, and how this leads to headaches and migraines. Dr. Taves also shares practical strategies like lumbar support, lat stretches, and chin tucks, along with how tools like the SAM device can help restore normal movement and reduce tension.The message is clear: military neck is not a hopeless diagnosis.

Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today’s episode. On Tuesday, Israel targeted leaders from the Hamas terror group gathering in Qatar who were reportedly there to discuss a new ceasefire proposal put forward by Trump’s administration. Yesterday, Netanyahu appeared to acknowledge that the missile strike had failed to kill the targeted leaders. Fabian brings us new information on how the strike was carried out. Following an evacuation warning, the IDF says it struck a high-rise tower in Gaza City that was being used by Hamas. Just after recording time, two more 10- to 15-story buildings were demolished, in each case after civilians were warned by the IDF to evacuate. We learn about why the IDF is targeting these buildings and how they are taken down. A drone launched by the Houthis in Yemen was intercepted by Israeli air defenses near Ramon Airport in southern Israel this morning. Last week, a drone launched by Yemen’s Houthis evaded air defenses and smashed into the Ramon Airport terminal. Fabian speaks about the Houthis’ new targeting tactic and its results so far. Israeli soldiers raided the home of Palestinian activist and Oscar-winning director Basel Adra in the southern West Bank yesterday after two Israelis were injured by stone throwing in the area, according to the military. Adra told The Associated Press that before the army raid, Israeli settlers had attacked his village of at-Tuwani, injuring two of his brothers and one cousin. Fabian discusses how these “he said-he said” attacks are all too common. To close the program, we turn to last week’s violent terror attacks in Jerusalem and Kibbutz Tzuba. Fabian explains how intensive IDF efforts in the West Bank have brought attacks of this nature to almost zero — but that there is a steep price to be paid. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Send us a textThe boxing world was buzzing this weekend as Terrence "Bud" Crawford dominated Canelo Alvarez in their highly anticipated Netflix-streamed bout. Our hosts break down not just the technical aspects of Crawford's victory, but the larger implications for boxing as a sport trying to reclaim relevance in the UFC era. Netflix's free-access approach brought unprecedented eyeballs to the match, potentially signaling a new distribution model for combat sports.Beyond the ring, we tackle the Pentagon's controversial new beard policy that has military members on edge. The recently issued memo states service members requiring shaving waivers for more than a year may face separation, marking a significant reversal after years of increasing accommodations. We explore this from multiple perspectives – from medical necessity to military readiness – while acknowledging the disproportionate impact on African American service members who often require shaving waivers due to skin conditions.The conversation shifts to NFL Week 2 predictions, highlighting the Eagles-Chiefs matchup as the game to watch. Our hosts passionately debate whether Kansas City will bounce back from their surprising Week 1 loss or if Philadelphia's defensive returns and offensive firepower will prove too much for the Chiefs at home. We close with a frustrated commentary on the WNBA's puzzling decision to begin their playoffs during NFL Week 2, showcasing the ongoing challenges in women's sports marketing.Whether you're a combat sports enthusiast, military member, or football fan, this episode delivers passionate analysis and insider perspectives on the week's most compelling stories.

WARNING: We're discussing the ugly intersection of politics, conspiracy and ritual occultism as they pertain to wildly polemical history-making events, so, make sure your tinfoil hat is affixed firmly to your head and your seat is in the upright and seated position because somebody is going to crash out. In this week's episode we go entirely off-script, give ourselves to the fiery onslaught of current events and began analyzing the circus unfolding upon the world stage (and in the sky above) through the lens of occult ritual and blood sacrifice using the controversially prophetic teachings of Professor Jiang (who recently went viral following his string of accurate geo-political predictions) as our guide. Specifically, we focus on the tragic slaying of Iryna Zarutska, the maybe-civil-war-inducing assassination of Charlie Kirk and what deadly neck wounds have to do with an escalation of state power.

Jen Psaki looks back at past examples of political violence in the United States and how political leaders addressed the country with calls for unity and cooler heads, with examples from John Boehner to Utah Governor Spender Cox, who spoke this morning at a press conference announcing that the suspect in the shooting of Charlie Kirk is in custody. Senator Tina Smith discusses the dire state of politics in the U.S.While the suspect in the Kirk shooting is in custody, Kash Patel's poor performance leading the FBI did not go unnoticed. Andrew Weissmann joins to explain how the FBI is supposed to work in normal times under normal leadership.Donald Trump has named Memphis as the next target of his military policing plan. Tennessee State Rep. Justin J. Pearson expresses his vehement opposition to what Trump intends to do.NATO suffered significant alarm when Russia sent drones into Poland in what is widely seen as a test of NATO readiness.

IN PLAIN SIGHT: A Memoir Infused with Military Psychological Operations"What if Mars' nuclear ghosts are screaming a warning—and Earth isn't listening?"Jonathan Mark Haber's life has been a collision with hidden truths. Born in 1950s Brooklyn, he came of age as the assassinations of JFK, MLK, and RFK shattered America's illusions—igniting his lifelong mission to dissect power. From draft resistance to founding Flyby News, Haber exposes how governments weaponize perception to bury inconvenient truths.Then came the revelation that rewrote history.Bart Jordan—a Manhattan Project physicist and NASA insider—revealed a nuclear detonation in Mars' Cydonia region, home to the infamous "Face" and "Signature Site 10" monuments. NASA data confirmed it: Martian atmospheric Xenon-129 isotopes—at twice the concentration of Earth's post-nuclear tests—proved a planet-wide apocalypse. But the deeper shock? The monuments' geometry encoded a warning: the distances of Mars' moons (Phobos and Deimos—"fear" and "terror") formed a temple-like formula, a cosmic plea against the abuse of light.This wasn't just science. It was a survival manual from a lost civilization.Interwoven with Haber's battles against chronic pain, kidney failure, and systemic deception, In Plain Sight bridges memoir and manifesto. It exposes:The PSYOP playbook (Apollo's illusions, 9/11's unanswered questions, COVID-19's psy-warfare).Elites repeating Mars' fatal mistakes—ignoring the *Xenon-129* red flag.UAPs and nuclear sites: Evidence that something—ancient AI or interstellar guardians—is forcing humanity to confront its self-destruction.In Plain Sight is more than a memoir—it's a manual for awakening. Because truth is the first casualty of war, and the first step toward peace. The choice is ours.https://amzn.to/4mi9lAzBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Israel bombed a Hamas political meeting in Doha, Qatar—hosted in a U.S.-allied nation with a major American military base—while leaders were gathered to discuss a Trump-proposed ceasefire. The attack killed several people, including the son of a Hamas leader and a Qatari officer, and drew condemnation from Qatar for violating sovereignty and international law. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that this shows how Israel and the U.S. intentionally sabotage peace efforts while blaming Hamas, framing it as part of the “Greater Israel Project” and a pattern of destabilizing the Middle East. International reactions included sharp criticism from China and others, saying the strike proves Israel disregards global norms while still insisting on depicting itself as a victim. Also featuring segments on Rand Paul taking on JD Vance over the U.S. Military bombing of an alleged Venezuelan “drug boat” and President Trump's escalation of threats that now include the possibility of bombing inside Venezuela.

Ronan Wordsworth addresses a persistent recruitment and retention crisis in Five Eyes militaries, spanning decades. Younger generations, particularly Gen Z, favor STEM careers offering flexibility and better pay over military discipline. Militaries are responding with increased advertising, flexible service models, lateral entry for skilled professionals, and significant pay raises and bonuses. Low morale, stemming from unpopular past wars and perceived institutional guilt, also significantly impacts retention rates. 1870 GARDE NATIONAL
CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW SCHEDULE 9-11-25 GOOD EVENING: The show begins in Brussels at the Article Four meeting called by Poland. 1942 FIRST HOUR 9-915 McCausland: Jeff McCausland analyzes Russia's drone probes into Poland, viewing them as Vladimir Putin's attempt to intimidate NATO and gather military intelligence. He notes Dmitry Medvedev's aggressive rhetoric against Finland. McCausland also discusses Israel's strike against Hamas in Doha, impacting US-Qatar relations, and US military posturing near Venezuela to intimidate Nicolás Maduro. He warns against "gunboat diplomacy" and a "war on cartels," stressing the dangers of escalation and historical lessons. 915-930 CONTINUED McCausland: Jeff McCausland analyzes Russia's drone probes into Poland, viewing them as Vladimir Putin's attempt to intimidate NATO and gather military intelligence.

He warns against "gunboat diplomacy" and a "war on cartels," stressing the dangers of escalation and historical lessons. 930-945 Mary O'Grady analyzes Argentine President Javier Milei's significant election loss in Buenos Aires, attributed to a corruption scandal involving his sister and the slowing economy. His brash style, while initially appealing and celebrated internationally, now alienates potential congressional allies and conservative voters. O'Grady suggests this approach is ill-suited for governing, hindering his economic reforms, as he struggles with high inflation and cuts to public subsidies, impacting public perception.945-1000 Chris Riegel, CEO of scholar.com, counters AI doomsayers like Geoff Hinton, emphasizing AI's transformational potential as a tool. He highlights the mmense investment, hundreds of billions, in building gigawatt-plus data centers across the United States. This infrastructure drive is creating new industries and jobs, establishing the US as a global leader in AI, while also noting Asia's keen interest in US AI technology and Europe's lack of a cohesive strategy. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Jonathan Conricus observes Qatar's unprecedented move to engage beyond conventional tools, which Israel is closely monitoring. He suggests Israel's recent strike could signify a new deterrence doctrine, making Hamas leaders in Doha more vulnerable. This pressure might compel Hamas to accept Israel's terms for ending the conflict, which include releasing hostages and surrendering, thereby preventing further destruction and suffering in Gaza, despite the significant costs involved for Israel.1015-1030 CONTINUED Jonathan Conricus observes Qatar's unprecedented move to engage beyond conventional tools, which Israel is closely monitoring.

Despite warnings and previous Trump administration cuts, over $25 million in grants went to organizations with alleged ties to terrorism, antisemitism, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Hamas. This included partnering with groups like CAIR, which also provided firearms training to radical mosques, raising serious questions about oversight and vetting standards for federal funds.1045-1100 Jonathan Speyer reports on Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping and Israel, sustained by Iranian, Iraqi, Hezbollah, and even Chinese support. He describes the Houthis as fanatical, religiously and tribally motivated, aiming for "death to America, death to Israel, and curse the Jews." While cutting their supply chain and taking Hodeidah port is militarily feasible for a Western-backed force, a lack of political will currently prevents such aggressive action against their sophisticated smuggling operations. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Anatol Lieven explains that Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus is a Soviet loyalist, not a Putin stooge, but was driven to Russia by Western sanctions. He discusses Russian drone incursions into Poland, likely an intentional message to NATO to test air defenses and warn against deploying troops to Ukraine. Russia may also seek to maintain Belarus firmly in its orbit by disrupting its multi-vector foreign policy initiatives, particularly any attempts at détente with the West.1115-1130 CONTINUED Anatol Lieven explains that Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus is a Soviet loyalist, not a Putin stooge, but was driven to Russia by Western sanctions.

While a flat tax would streamline the system and boost economic growth by focusing on consumption, de Rugy emphasizes that no tax system alone can resolve the severe US debt crisis; crucial reforms to Social Security and Medicare are indispensable.1145-1200 Ronan Wordsworth addresses a persistent recruitment and retention crisis in Five Eyes militaries, spanning decades.

Seth Harp (The Fort Bragg Cartel: Drug Trafficking and Murder in the Special Forces) is an investigative reporter, foreign correspondent, and war veteran. Seth joins the Armchair Expert to discuss being called out of college even though he was anti-war to serve in Iraq, the key differences between Green Berets and other covert special forces, and his circuitous path to becoming an investigative journalist. Seth and Dax talk about whether he believes there are secret military operations that are justifiable, the Fort Bragg murders that kicked off his investigations which became this book, and the massive corruption of the war in the Middle East that rubbed off on its operators. Seth explains how Los Zetas went from US military-trained Mexican forces to the most powerful cartel in the country, the coverup of a drug-fueled “justified” homicide because the perpetrator was Delta Force, and the truth about the origins of the opioid crises and the client-state in Afghanistan.
