Podcasts about Intelligence community

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

We discuss Tucker Carlson vs. Ted Cruz, whether Mike Lee wants to sell American Land to the highest bidder, Donald Trump says his intelligence community is wrong about Iran, and more before WWIII and global warming happens and destroys us all.

President Trump says he will decide on U.S. action in the Middle East "within two weeks." Retired Lieutenant General Steph Twitty discusses the Intelligence Community's assessment that Iran isn't close to creating a weapon despite President Trump saying a weapon is a “few weeks away.” A new Deciders focus group shows Trump Latino voters splitting with the president over his mass deportation agenda but largely still backing him.

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.

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.

In a stunning revelation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims Iran attempted to assassinate Donald Trump not once, but twice — directly contradicting statements by U.S. intelligence officials. Fox News host Bret Baier and former CIA operatives react in real time, while Dan Bongino and Kash Patel cast doubt on the depth of domestic intelligence transparency. The segment explores the murky battle over classified documents, the deep state's grip on intelligence agencies, and the alarming ties between Iran and violent domestic unrest. From Iranian proxy attacks on U.S. naval ships to the Biden administration's lack of sanctions and past cash payments to Tehran, this exposé paints a picture of dangerous entanglement: a Democrat-Iran alliance using foreign and domestic proxies to undermine American sovereignty.

Kash Patel is the Director of the FBI, appointed in February 2025. A former federal public defender, national security prosecutor, and senior official in both the Department of Justice and the Trump administration, he has held roles across the Intelligence Community, Department of Defense, and National Security Council.www.fbi.gov Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of "Are We All Clear? Facilitating Security Clearances," host Marina O'Brien talks with Robert A. Friedman, co-head of Holland & Knight's International Trade practice and a leader of the firm's National Security & Defense Industry Group, about intelligence community (IC) security clearances. They discuss how IC clearances differ from the processes used by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA), highlighting that IC clearances are contract-specific, often less prescriptive and can vary depending on the assigned contracting officer. In addition, both use similar documentation and focus heavily on foreign ownership, control or influence (FOCI) analysis, but IC tends to be more cautious with foreign investors outside U.S. allies. Mr. Friedman recommends companies be as transparent as possible and seek legal counsel when filling out clearance applications and also reminds the listeners that there is a newly updated SF-328 form that requires more detailed information and diligence in the clearance process.

Recently on Capitol Hill, lawmakers were provided a classified briefing on UAP by the FBI, and now several U.S. Representatives are saying the Bureau needs to be more involved in the Pentagon's investigations into anomalous phenomena. We take a look at what members of Congress have had to say about the FBI's briefing, and where things may go from here.  Also in this week's episode of The Micah Hanks Program, we look at why a group of former Japanese officials are pushing for the country to have its own version of the DoD's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), and a series of newly released videos and analysis by the Pentagon's UFO hunting unit... and why we still have a few questions about their conclusions.   Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?

Darrell Castle discusses the Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community just issued and signed off on by the office of the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. Transcription / Notes THREAT ASSESSMENT Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Good Friday on the 18th day of April 2025. I will be talking about the Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community just issued and signed off on by the office of the Director of National Intelligence who at this moment is Tulsi Gabbard. This report gives the assessment of threats the U.S. faces from each country in the world where a threat is perceived to exist and is the combined assessment of the 17 intelligence agencies that are under the authority of the national director. This report, which is published annually, is hot off the presses, but I don't recommend that you read all 33 pages as I have unless you have a high tolerance for being terrified. Yes, once you have read this report you will wonder how the people who deal with this information every day manage to sleep at night. I will take this opportunity to share the highlights of the threat assessment as determined by U.S, Intelligence with you so you don't have to read it and risk being terrorized. The forward to the report introduces us to what is about to be presented. Terrorist and transnational criminal organizations, and I suppose that means drug cartels and their national supporters directly threaten our citizens and are directly responsible for more than 55,000 U.S. deaths from synthetic opioids in the last year, a 33% increase over the previous year.. It is amazing to me just how destructive the scourge of drugs has been to America. Those who are addicted seem to have an uncontrollable desire for the drug which enslaves them. I suppose the drugs at first, promise a good time or relief from bad times, but deliver, instead, misery and death. I certainly believe that the U.S. government should consider as threats the nations enabling the cartels who do it for money and power. It's a difficult problem indeed, for the cartels, thanks mostly to China, apparently control virtually all of Mexico and have made significant inroads into the governments of the various border states especially Arizona. “Western Hemisphere based TCOs and terrorists involved in illicit drug production and trafficking bound for the United States endanger the health and safety of millions of Americans, contribute to regional instability.” Well, that's a no brainer isn't it so I wonder why no one in the government takes the time to explain to Mr. and Ms. Average American exactly what is happening and why such action against the cartels is necessary to save our lives. It is apparently profit for India, but for China they do it at cost because it's a weapon to weaken and destroy the U.S. Mexico and its politicians are apparently so intimidated and terrified by the cartels and their multi billions in monetary assets that they do the cartels bidding. In case you had any doubts about whether or not international terrorist groups are still active and still intent on doing harm not only to the U.S. Government but citizens as well you can now remove any doubt. “ISIS most aggressive branches, including ISIS-Khorasan (ISIS-K), and its entrepreneurial plotters will continue to seek to attack the West, including the United States, via online outreach and propaganda aimed at directing, enabling, or inspiring attacks, and could exploit vulnerable travel routes.” Well, that's encouraging isn't it to know that ISIS seeks to exploit your travel routes. The Report tells us that the New Year's Day attacker in New Orleans was influenced by ISIS propaganda, as well as the Afghan national who was arrested in October for planning an election day attack in the name of ISIS. The intent of the attacks was to demonstrate to us and the world that ISIS could attack inside the US at an...

Veteran and entrepreneur Chad Grills of National Capital League discusses his experience with Big Tech and how building anything meaningful and lasting will likely not come out of Silicon Valley or places like California. He explains how Silicon Valley was seeded by DOD, the Intelligence Community, and DARPA. The culture of Silicon Valley and most major cities will not allow anything original or good for humanity to emerge. He argues we have neither communism nor capitalism, but a monopolistic system that keeps the little guy out. He stresses a need for better governance, creating good culture, maintaining personal integrity, and is optimistic about the ability of America to reinvent itself.

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

The Department of Homeland Security has selected Antoine McCord as its new chief information officer, a spokesperson with the agency's Management Directorate confirmed Friday. As CIO, McCord will be tasked with overseeing DHS's roughly $11 billion IT budget, the largest of any federal agency in fiscal 2025. A bio for McCord on the DHS website said he “emphasizes mission-driven leadership, focusing on operations to neutralize threats against the Department.” Details about McCord's background are scarce, beyond what's contained in that DHS bio page. According to the agency, he served in the U.S. Marine Corps, specializing in cyber and intelligence operations and “gaining hands-on experience in threat detection and technology integration.” After his time with the Marines, McCord joined the U.S. Intelligence Community, according to DHS, in roles that saw him oversee cyber operations against advanced threats and serve as an adviser on national security issues. McCord will be stepping into a CIO role that was filled during the Biden administration by Eric Hysen, who also led the department's artificial intelligence efforts. Hysen, a Google alum and a founding member of the White House's U.S. Digital Service, oversaw the creation of DHS's AI Corps, the publication of an AI roadmap and the release of commercial generative AI guidance. Firings at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have former workers, lawmakers, and advocates concerned about impact on the agency's efforts to produce climate and weather information critical to public safety. NOAA is one of many federal agencies in the U.S. that has cut probationary workers in recent weeks as part of President Donald Trump's plan to reduce the size of the federal government. While critics of the Trump administration have argued the rapid and widespread staffing reductions could have adverse consequences across the government, the picture they paint with respect to NOAA's terminations is particularly grim. That's because the agency's mission impacts every American, former NOAA workers told FedScoop. The recent cuts to staff put that work at risk, particularly for areas at the agency where staffing levels were already an issue, they said. What's more, there are areas outside of staffing cuts where efficiencies could have been achieved through consolidating work and technology advancements.

Some of the most dangerous technocrats in America came out of the same company back in the early 2000s, and after a photoshoot imitating a large Mafia family, the legend of the PayPal Mafia was born. These 19 guys went on to form, finance, influence, mentor, or control some of the largest and most transformational tech companies in the world, but not without racking up plenty of Globalist connections and World Economic Forum Young Global Leaders designations. The most alarming component is the massive and undeniable ties to the Intelligence Community, making these people the Silicon Valley franchise of the Deep State.

WarRoom Battleground EP 714: The Politicization Of The intelligence Community

Pam Bondi said she had it. Then she said it was coming out at 8 AM. Then… nothing. Now, she's in hiding, refusing to address why the long-awaited Epstein list is still being kept from the public. But she's not the only one responsible for this sham. The new FBI Director, Kash Patel, and even Donald Trump are complicit in this failure to deliver the truth.And let's talk about those so-called “Conservative” influencers who turned the Bondi binders into a circus act. Handing out redacted files full of nothing but black ink wasn't a win—it was a total disgrace. They gamified children's trauma, treating the horrific abuse of minors as a political spectacle instead of demanding real justice. Rather than doubling down on their wrongness, they need to admit they got played.So, WHERE OH WHERE  is the Epstein list? Why are we STILL waiting? And who's actually protecting the predators? We're getting into all of it—no spin, no excuses, just Uncommon Sense.--https://noblegoldinvestments.com/

Space, once a distant destination, has become yet another battleground for great power competition.  Since the early days of the People's Republic of China, the country has been pursuing a series of ambitious space programs aimed to build up its space capacity as an essential element of its comprehensive national power.  In recent years, under the Xi Jinping regime, Beijing has significantly increased its investment in its civilian space program efforts. It has a plan to send Chinese Taikonauts to the Moon before the US can return.  As the US-China strategic competition continues to heighten, it is vital to assess China's space policy and its role in China's grand strategy. To discuss these issues, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Dean Cheng, senior advisor to the China program at the U.S. Institute of Peace and a nonresident fellow with George Washington University's Space Policy Institute. Dean focuses on China's space program, Chinese military doctrine, and “dual-use” issues associated with China's scientific and technical enterprises.  He also recently published a book titled China and the New Moon Race. Timestamp[00:00] Start[01:54] Space Race 2.0[03:27] Space in China's Grand Strategy[05:27] Achievements of China's Space Program[07:18] Similarities and Differences in China's Approach[09:14] Nature of Public-Private Cooperation in China[12:42] Implications of Landing on the Moon[15:30] A Chinese Incident in Space[17:00] International Lunar Research Station [18:50] Responses to China's Space Ambitions[21:03] Problems in the US-China Civilian Space Race[23:20] Stars and Stripes on Mars

There were also rumors circulating that Marco Rubio may not ultimately be Trump's selection for Secretary of State. 3:05pm- RESTART THE SHOW! Donald Trump officially announces that Senator Marco Rubio is his selection to serve as Secretary of State. In a statement, the president-elect wrote: “Marco is a Highly Respected Leader, and a very powerful Voice for Freedom. He will be a strong Advocate for our Nation, a true friend to our Allies, and a fearless Warrior who will never back down to our adversaries. I look forward to working with Marco to Make America, and the World, Safe and Great Again!” 3:10pm- Who might Governor Ron DeSantis pick to replace Marco Rubio in the U.S. Senate? According to Axios, Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) is pushing for Lara Trump—Donald Trump's daughter-in-law and co-chair of the RNC. However, Politico suggests the front runner is likely James Uthmeier—DeSantis's current Chief of Staff. 3:15pm- More breaking news…RESTART THE SHOW AGAIN! Donald Trump officially announces Tulsi Gabbard is his choice to serve as Director of National Intelligence (DNI). He wrote in a statement: “For over two decades, Tulsi has fought for our Country and the Freedoms of all Americans. As a former Candidate for the Democrat Presidential Nomination, she has broad support in both Parties - She is now a proud Republican! I know Tulsi will bring the fearless spirit that has defined her illustrious career to our Intelligence Community, championing our Constitutional Rights, and securing Peace through Strength. Tulsi will make us all proud!” 3:30pm- On his Truth Social Account, Donald Trump wrote: “It is my Great Honor to announce that Congressman Matt Gaetz, of Florida, is hereby nominated to be The Attorney General of the United States. Matt is a deeply gifted and tenacious attorney, trained at the William & Mary College of Law, who has distinguished himself in Congress through his focus on achieving desperately needed reform at the Department of Justice. Few issues in America are more important than ending the partisan Weaponization of our Justice System.” 3:40pm- Does Matt Gaetz have enough support to get confirmed as U.S. Attorney General? Nate Silver, PolyMarket odds, and others on social media suggest it might not be a foregone conclusion that the U.S. Senate will confirm his appointment. 4:00pm- On Wednesday, president-elect Donald Trump met with President Joe Biden in the White House Oval Office to discuss administration transition plans. 4:15pm- CNN Has Already Begun to Attack Tulsi Gabbard. CNN host Boris Sanchez baselessly suggested that Tulsi Gabbard might be a Russian asset—and asked Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) if he was comfortable with Gabbard having access to the nation's most sensitive secrets as Director of National Intelligence. 4:30pm- If some of Donald Trump's cabinet picks struggle to get confirmed in the U.S. Senate, could he use recess appointments? Jess Bravin of The Wall Street Journal writes of recess appointments: “The Senate wasn't conceived to continuously be in session, and the vagaries of 18th-century communication and transportation meant that weeks could go by before lawmakers could be reconvened for an emergency. To keep the government staffed, the Constitution provides that the president may fill vacancies while the Senate is in recess, but those commissions expire at the end of the next session of Congress. That means a recess appointee can't hold office longer than two years, the length of a congressional session.” You can read more about recess appointments here: https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-recess-appointments-senate-179a16f7 4:45pm- While appearing on a podcast, Sunny Hostin revealed that she thought she was asking Kamala Harris softball questions during the Vice Pr ...
