The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program seems to transcend generations. The first copy took flight back in 2006. The capable but finicky aircraft continues to have maintenance and manufacturing problems. Now it has a new program manager on the contractor end of the program. Earlier Federal News Network's Tom Temin spoke with Lockheed Martin's Chauncey McIntosh.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We hear from Amanda Villalobos who is an activist from the south east of Naarm and comes from a long line of activists from Latin America and has been a lifelong supporter of the Palestinian struggle. She has been involved in organising rallies in support of Palestine in the south east of Naarm since October last year and has been the Picket Captain at the North Gate of AW Bell. In a speech given at the Free Palestine Naarm Rally on 30 June 2024, Amanda spoke about the importance of picketing weapons manufacturing factories and to join the global struggle against the oppression of Indigenous people all around the world, including Palestinians, West Papuans and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in "Australia".  Stella joins us to speak about the campaign to Shut Down Electromold. Electromold Thomastown is the only currently known Chemical processing facility in Australia allowed to work with Lockheed Martin and Boeing in producing finished components, including for the F-35 Lightning 2 Joint Strike Fighter. Electromold, a subsidiary of Lovitt Technologies, supports a number of other companies in the supply chain process, including HTA and AW Bell. This coming Thursday (4 July) there will be an open community picket of Electromold in Thomastown against weapons manufacturing in so-called Australia.   Ness is Coordinator of SNIS - the Support Network for International Students and chairperson of Gabriela Australia, and is also a long time feminist and activist. Ness joins us this morning to talk about organising against the working hours cap, 485 Visa changes and the protest that was held last night in support of international students. Sue McKinnon is the President of Kinglake Friends of the Forest. Sue joins us to talk about the state government's burning of our forests under the banner of fuel reduction and the lack of oversight when it comes to logging/burning activity carried out by Forest Fire Management Victoria.  We hear from Madi Curkovic who is a Monash Student Association Queer Officer and an organiser at Students for Palestine Monash. She is also one of the nine students at Monash being threatened with expulsion or suspension for organising the Gaza solidarity encampment at Monash. In a speech given at the Free Palestine Naarm Rally on 30 June 2024, Madi spoke about the complicity of universities and educational institutions in Israel's genocide of Palestine and the silencing of pro-Palestinian students on campus.

 Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines// Last Friday 21st June, Disrupt Land Forces had its first public meeting (at Black Spark, Northcote) to plan actions in protest of 'Land Forces', a massive weapons expo and conference which will be running this year from September 11-13 at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre. Ongoing actions in the previous host-city Magandjin (Brisbane) forced the conference to relocate to Naarm, and Disrupt Land Forces hope this year for the same - if not greater - level of disruption of harms dealers and their investors, both at the event and in the week leading up to it. Before the planning meeting various frontline community members and activists spoke of their experiences at the hands of the global military industrial complex, and the importance of international solidarity against imperialist structures. On today's show, we played a speech from the event by Adolf Mora, West Papuan community member and activist. Content warning: this speech includes mention of suicide in detention. If you are feeling distressed, you can always call lifeline on 13 11 14 or the suicide callback service on 1300 659 467. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners can also contact 13 YARN (13 92 76), or Yarning Safe'n'Strong on 1800 959 563.// Since the early days of Israel's genocidal onslaught in Gaza, community activists have been staging pickets outside companies involved in the weapons manufacturing supply chain across so-called Australia, including AW Bell in Dandenong. Amanda Villalobos, local activist and participant in community pickets of AW Bell, joins us this morning to speak about the upcoming picket at AW Bell this Monday the 1st of July, aiming to close operations for the day to disrupt the company's role in the global supply chain of Lockheed Martin's F-35A Lightning II aircraft or Joint Strike Fighter. Find out more about the action and keep up to date by heading to Weapons Out Of Naarm on Instagram.// Researcher and organiser Matilda Byrne joins us to speak about Australia's place in the artificial intelligence and autonomous capabilities arms race, which she recently authored an article about for Declassified Australia. By marketing itself as a site for AI innovation and framing this issue as a key area of defence policy, Australia is deeply embedded in global networks of weapons development further integrating autonomous functions into technologies of war and genocide. Matilda is currently undertaking a PhD at RMIT's Social and Global Studies Centre where she is a sessional lecturer in international relations, security, global governance and disarmament. She is the National Coordinator of the Australia Stop Killer Robots campaign, based at SafeGround, an Australian non-for-profit that seeks to reduce impacts of legacy and emerging weapons.// Martin Hodgson, senior advocate at the Foreign Prisoners Support Service and co-host of Curtain the Podcast, speaks with us about the colonial crisis of domestic and family violence in so-called Australia. This conversation occurs in the context of Martin's recent appearance at a Parliamentary hearing held as part of the ongoing inquiry into missing and murdered First Nations women and children. While the Senate referred an inquiry into missing and murdered First Nations women and children to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee on 4th August 2022, the inquiry process continues, with the reporting date extended to 15th August 2024. Content warning: this interview includes discussion of domestic and family violence, femicide and racism.

Our Watch is a national leader in the primary prevention of violence against women and their children in Australia, and Karla appeared alongside CEO Patty Kinnersly to provide evidence on the significance of primary prevention and the importance of attending to colonialism and racism in the context of the inquiry.//

Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines// Nathalie Farah of Disrupt Wars joined us live from the community picket that's been running weekly on Thursday and Friday mornings outside Heat Treatment Australia in Campbellfield. The picket has been established and maintained into its seventh week by members of the local Hume community in support of Palestine, who are protesting against HTA's role in heat-treating vital components required for Lockheed Martin's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter given their use by Israel in the genocide of Palestinians. Hume community members have committed to continued action outside HTA until it ends its contracts with weapons manufacturers profiteering off war and genocide.// Dr Sue Lewis, Acting President of the Victorian Forest Alliance, spoke with us about the recent announcement of the impending end of Vic Forests, which is set to wind up in mid-2024 after years of grassroots activism, official inquiries, legal battles and Parliamentary debate about the widespread harm that the entity has caused to Victoria's native forests. With the end of Vic Forests on the near horizon, we discussed the implications of its closure and what comes next for statewide native forest management. Respond to Kinglake Friends of the Forest's urgent call to action against Forest Fire Management Victoria's planned burns by sending an email (details below) or using the template here.// In the spirit of World Social Work Day, which falls on 20 March, we replayed an interview from June 2023 featuring Angelica Ojinnaka-Psillakis talking about the importance of investing in authentic youth voices, youth participation in mental health sectors, and advocacy. Angelica Ojinnaka- Psillakis is a youth development advocate, researcher, and speaker. She served as the 2022 Australian Youth Representative to the United Nations, and is involved in a number of projects and organisations.// Member of Whittlesea for Palestine Logan Balavijendran chats with us about the snap action on Saturday 23 March outside the office of Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs Andrew Giles. The action has been prompted by Australia's decision to cancel the visas of Palestinians escaping genocide,some of which have occurred mid air, leaving several Palestinians stranded with no where to go. Australian families have paid thousands of dollars to bring their loved ones to safety, only to be left scared and worried about where their loved ones will go now. Logan resides in Whittlesea with his Palestinian partner and sons. He has a career spanning education and IT, and is committed to community-building to hold leaders accountable.// Ashleigh Buckett, Principal Solicitor at the National Justice Project, spoke with us about the coronial inquest into the 2016 death of Faysal Ishak Ahmed, a young Sudanese refugee, while he was detained on Manus Island in Australian immigration detention. The inquest, which ran across Monday and Tuesday this week, examined Faysal's access to medical treatment over several months prior to his death, and assessed the circumstances of his delayed medical evacuation to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, where he passed away. With the United Nations Subcommittee on the prevention of torture making the significant decision to suspend its visit to Australia in late 2022, citing obstructions to its work and a lack of co-operation, the inquest into Mr Ishak Ahmed's death may provide a rare window into the draconian operations of Australia's immigration detention regime.// The image used for this episode was taken by photographer Matt Hrkac. Go support his brilliant independent photojournalism here.// --- Kinglake Friends of the Forest Urgent Call to Action: Stop Planned Burns! We need your help to prevent an imminent and terribly ill-conceived planned burn that will impact greater gliders near Kinglake.We've been surveying for endangered greater gliders and hollow-bearing trees in a beautiful, varied patch of forest in Mt Robertson Rd, Kinglake. In one evening, 13 gliders were detected. Numerous habitat trees with good hollows suggest that many more live here, as well as providing crucial habitat for all sorts of hollow-dependent species. In addition, many habitat trees with fire scarring near their base from 2009 (Black Saturday) were recorded. These scarred trees become more liable to collapse with each subsequent fire. Forest Fire Management Vic has just announced they are going to burn this very patch of forest within the next few days.Here are just some of the reasons that burn HR-MUR-TLG-0008 is a bad idea.We are appalled to think of the impact that this unnecessary fire will have on the resident gliders, other wildlife and flora and on the older trees that survived the last fire because of:the immediate effects of the fire and smokeloss of food supply for gliders as a result of canopy scorchcollapse of den treesthe increase in fire risk in years to come because of the pulse of shrubs that will grow after the burnWe need to listen to the research that tells us that forests need to be protected from fire until they reach maturity when they are least flammable – estimated to be about 4 years from now in Kinglake.We can suppress fire using rapid detection technology available now. Thermal and heat sensing cameras can pick up fires kilometers away if installed in towers at optimum sight distance locations. We need to ensure we have trained remote area firefighters.What can you do?We (and the gliders) would love you to ring or write to any or all of the following, citing burn HR-MUR-TLG-0008.If you ring you'll want to keep it pretty short.

Wij zijn dus een soort juniorpartner van het Amerikaanse Lockheed-Martin. Het is volkomen logisch dat Nederland prototypes testte, en dat Amerikaanse onderdelen van de F35 op een door de VS gebruikte Nederlandse basis liggen. Daar gaan regering en parlement over. Het Gerechtshof vonniste dat Nederland geen onderdelen mag doorsturen naar Israël, omdat de Israëliërs de F35 in Gaza mogelijkerwijs gebruiken bij schending van het oorlogsrecht. Wat voor rol de F35 in de oorlog met Gaza speelt wist het hof niet precies. Die rol is vermoedelijk gering, want het is een peperduur en voor deze missie erg overgekwalificeerd wapen. De belangrijkste strategische reden om het toestel in te zetten is dat het verborgen kan blijven voor vijandelijke radar, wat bij de bombardementen in Gaza totaal niet relevant is. De bulk van de Israëlische luchtmacht is de F15 en F16. Na 9/11 riep de NAVO voor de eerste, en tot dusver enige keer Artikel 5 in: een aanval op een is een aanval op allen.

Met andere woorden: stuur je leger niet als wraak een oorlog in waarvan je het eind niet kunt voorspellen en die je niet kunt winnen. Veel slachtoffers is gruwelijk, maar geen bewijs van schending van het oorlogsrecht. Daarvoor is een gedegen, zorgvuldig onderzoek nodig. Je zou je kunnen voorstellen dat rechters daarop aandringen. Maar bemoeienis met een beleid dat door de regering is vastgesteld en door het parlement goedgekeurd, over materiaal dat bovendien geen eigendom is van Nederland, is politiek, bedreven door wat de onafhankelijke rechtbank zou moeten zijn.

Our episode today is another first for us as this is the first time we are welcoming two guests in an episode, and I'm thrilled to share that both are senior leaders in their respective global defence organizations.Our chat centres around the critical aspect of supporting the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, and we're specifically focusing on Canada's future fleet of F-35's, of which the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) will acquire 88 of the highly advanced 5th Generation stealth aircraft.Buying aircraft is one thing, but supporting them is entirely different, so what you'll hear in our discussion is the importance of efficiently supporting the F-35, which requires sustainment in a whole new way, and you'll hear about it framed in the context of service to country, entrepreneurship, outright fortitude and lessons learned.Joining for this episode is Jacques Comtois, who started his career in the Royal Canadian Air Force, where he served as a Commanding Officer, 3 Air Maintenance Squadron (3 AMS) in Bagotville, Québec.Jacques is now Vice President of Arcfield Canada, a company that has been a trusted partner to the Canadian Armed Forces for more than 35 years in supplying in-service and integrated logistics support to the CF-18 fleet through its expertise in supply chain management, maintenance and repair, and engineering solutions.Also joining is Rene de Koning, the CEO and owner of OneLogistics, a company that was specifically set up to support the European F-35 program to deal with European rules, regulations and complexities of the F-35 supply chain. OneLogistics is now Europe's leading supply chain partner for sustainment of the F-35 fighter.These gentlemen bring a wealth of experience from the military and from industry, and they are now combining Arcfield Canada's expertise in supporting Canada's fighter fleet with OneLogistics' unmatched experience as a Product Support Provider for the F-35.It's a really interesting discussion so I want to thank both of my guests for their time and insight on their solution to support Canada's future fleet of F-35s, and perhaps more!Go Bold!

This episode is focused on the Royal Canadian Air Force's (RCAF) modernization effort to enhance its fleet of CF-18 Hornet fighter aircraft.The $1.3 billion (CAD) project to upgrade the CF-18 Hornet fleet is meant to ensure Canada's fighter fleet remains capable of responding to threats until new jets acquired under the Future Fighter Capability Project (FFCP) reaches Operational Capability. You'll hear my guest and I refer to FFCP in our discussion -- that platform will be the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.The upgrade effort is known as the Hornet Extension Project, or HEP for short. It is required to keep the CF-18 fleet interoperable and compliant with aviation regulations, and to maintain operational parity with current threats.The Hornet Extension Project will see upgrades to all CF-18's in the fleet, and that includes jets that were acquired from the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) under the Interim Fighter Capability Project (IFCP).The Hornet Extension Project will have two Phases.HEP 1 focuses primarily on interoperability and regulatory upgrades for all CF-18's.HEP 2 is a further enhancement that will see 36 jets configured as the most capable fighters in the Royal Canadian Air Force.HEP 2 upgrades include a new radar, advanced weapons capability, enhanced survivability, and mission support and security requirements which are primarily required to support new weapons for the CF-18.This upgrade effort is being conducted in conjunction with the United States Marine Corps, who are also upgrading their legacy Hornet fleet.Joining me to talk about all of this is Royal Canadian Air Force Brigadier-General Todd Balfe, who manages the Hornet Extension Project. The General puts context into the modernization, so we thank him for his time, and for his kindness.Go Bold!

Zondag overleed Mient Jan Faber en ik was het vergeten, maar mijn moeder vertelde me dat een van mijn eerste stukjes als journalist – ik was 21 – over hem ging. Zij wist het nog want we aten taart: ik kreeg er voor betaald en het stond in het legendarische Vrij Nederland! Ik was erachter gekomen dat Faber door zijn Interkerkelijk Vredesberaad op het matje was geroepen. De grote man achter de kernwapendemonstraties – 400.000 mensen in Amsterdam en later nog eens 500.000 in Den Haag – had geopperd dat het misschien toch niet zo'n slecht idee was om in ons land tijdelijk een klein aantal nieuwe kruisvluchtwapens te ‘parkeren' als dat het uiteindelijke doel – veel minder kernwapens in Europa – kon dienen. Faber moest voortaan eerst overleggen met zijn bestuur voordat hij een interview gaf over nieuwe ideeën. Hij vertelde me dat-ie ermee kon leven. Soms moet je tijdelijk iets accepteren waar je liefst vandaag nog vanaf wilt. Het was vloeken in de kerk natuurlijk. Hans van Mierlo vreesde dat we van die kernwapens nooit meer afkwamen: je kunt ze niet on-uitvinden. En Doe Maar scoorde in die dagen een nummer 1-hit met ‘Carrière maken, voordat de bom valt.' Het paradoxale van die bom is dat je redelijk safe bent als je ‘m bezit. Had Oekraïne hem nog gehad, dan was Poetin het land niet binnengevallen. Destijds demonstreerde ik mee in Amsterdam en Den Haag. ‘Help de kernwapens de wereld uit, om te beginnen met Nederland.' Dat laatste vond ik een beetje raar, maar ja – je moest toch ergens beginnen? Ook hier weer een paradox: misschien is het uiteindelijk wel Ronald Reagan die het meeste voor de wereldvrede gedaan heeft. Zijn wapenwedloop putte Moskou uit, Gorbatsjov zag dat het communisme niet langer levensvatbaar was, in 1989 viel de Muur en het aantal kernwapens in Europa werd fors verminderd. In Den Haag, dicht bij de Tweede Kamer, herinnert de Laan van Reagan en Gorbatsjov daar nog aan. Een dikke veertig jaar verder zijn we weer heel erg bang voor de bom. Prominente Duitsers waarschuwen tegen het leveren aan Oekraïne van zware wapens: het kan een kernoorlog veroorzaken! Twee jaar geleden nam de Tweede Kamer een motie aan van Sjoerd Sjoerdsma van D66. Om te voorkomen dat de nieuwe Joint Strike Fighter ook in Nederland kernwapens zou dragen, moest de regering het initiatief nemen voor een ‘strategische dialoog' tussen de Verenigde Staten en Rusland. Het was onbegonnen werk, de Russen hadden juist het zo cruciale INF-verdrag opgezegd en China moderniseerde zijn arsenaal in razend tempo. Nederland was als enige NAVO-land aanwezig bij onderhandelingen over het VN Verdrag inzake het Verbod op Kernwapens, maar stemde tegen omdat het gebruik en stationeren van kernwapens verbiedt. En de NAVO is nu eenmaal óók een kernwapenalliantie. Een motie voor een dialoog zou nu geen enkele zin hebben. It takes two to tango. En toch moet zo'n gesprek er uiteindelijk wel weer komen. Met alle paradoxen - die ook Mient Jan Faber heel goed begreep – erbij. Voordat de bom valt.

The then Chief of Staff (Aviation and Carriers) gives his audience a masterful guide to the past, present and future of air power at sea, starting from when the aircraft carrier displaced the battleship as the Royal Navy's capital ship to looking forward to the commissioning of the Queen Elizabeth Class of carrier. Admiral Cunningham begins by listing the firsts achieved by the Royal Naval Air Service and how it evolved from the launch of the Mayfly in 1909, through into World War I and into the "fallow" inter-war years when the United States and Japan took the lead. He then outlines the resurgence of British Maritime Air Power during World War II and its importance in both the Mediterranean and Pacific theatres and subsequent conflicts, including the Korean War and the Falklands Conflict. Turning to the contemporary world, Cunningham notes how many developing nations recognise the importance of Maritime Air Power and have a Carrier Programme. He comments on the demise of HMS Ark Royal and the Harrier and looks ahead to the technical challenges of operating the Queen Elizabeth Class Carriers, which were then due to be in service in 2019. He highlights the need to integrate the Joint Strike Fighter aircraft with the various radars on the ship, the key role of officers in the control room and the need to gain experience with the US Navy during the intervening years. He concludes by stressing the need for Maritime Air Power as an offensive and defensive element of a persistent and self-sufficient fleet at sea, which can respond to uncertain and changing threats. Rear Admiral Cunningham took 20 minutes of questions which covered: the future role of UAVs; the integration of a helicopter on a destroyer; escort protection by an Air Defence destroyer; the importance of rehearsing as a Task Group; the role of joint RN/RAF operations; the reliance of the RN on the US for training and the decision to scrap HMS Ark Royal rather than HMS Ocean. Rear Admiral Tom Cunningham addressed a meeting organised by the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Air Power Group on 8 November 2011. The lecture was introduced by Rear Admiral Simon Henley CEng FRAeS and the podcast was edited by Eur Ing Mike Stanberry FRAeS.

Tucker ‘Cinco’ Hamilton is an Experimental Fighter Test Pilot for the United States Air Force and is the previous Commander of the U.S. Air Force F-35 Integrated Test Force. Tucker Hamilton started his Air Force career as an operational F-15C pilot where he supported multiple Red Flag Exercises and real-world Operation Noble Eagle missions where he protected the President of the United States, at times escorting Air Force One. He served as an Air Liaison Officer in Germany where he was the director of operations for a key command and control squadron. While serving in Germany, he was hand-selected to be the initial cadre for the first MC-12 squadron in Afghanistan as a part of the Air Force's first tactical Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance aircraft. After Afghanistan, he attended Test Pilot School where he flew over 30 different aircraft. After Test Pilot School graduation, he became an F-15C and F-15E Instructor Experimental Test Pilot, leading 11 test programs, supporting the newest software and weapons for the 450-plus F-15 fleet. He then served as the Developmental Test & Evaluation Lead for the Joint Strike Fighter, F-35, overseeing the entire Developmental Test & Evaluation effort for the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marines. He then transitioned to Edwards Air Force Base, California, where he began to fly all three variants of the F-35 as the Developmental Test Director of Operations. I’ve personally had the pleasure of knowing Cinco in our work together with the US team at Gravity Industries, and while it’s no secret how incredible Tucker’s career has been, I actually didn’t know most of that until putting together this podcast! The most inspiring thing about Cinco is his incredible humility and servant leadership mindset, always putting the needs of others before himself. While I’m biased from knowing Cinco well, I can easily say this is one of our best stories yet.

Boeing’s then President of Space & Defense Systems, Alan Mulally, explores the force of change that faced the aerospace industry at the dawn of the information age. Mulally starts his lecture by outlining the projects that dominated the company’s work in 1997, from civil projects such as the 737, 757 and 777, military projects such as the Joint Strike Fighter and space and defence projects including missiles and the International Space Station. Turning to the predictions of the futurists, he highlights the importance of broad changes in society, such as the power of computing and the amount of GPS and other information gathered, the shift of power to East, the increased marketisation of government, an increased concern for the environment and the potential consequence for the booming civil and space industry, and the prospect of remotely piloted aircraft. The 1997 Royal Aeronautical Society Sopwith Lecture took place on 3 June 1997, the podcast was edited by Mike Stanberry FRAeS and it was digitised thanks to a grant from the Royal Aeronautical Society Foundation.

DURING HIS CHILDHOOD IN EL CENTRO, CALIFORNIA, SCOTT KARTVEDT (’90) WATCHED THE BLUE ANGELS NAVY FLIGHT DEMONSTRATION SQUADRON SWIRL AROUND THE SKY AS PART OF THEIR TRAINING EXERCISES. “I saw them practice while I was riding motorcycles,” says Kartvedt, now a commanding officer in the Navy’s Strike Fighter Squadron 101. Twenty-five years later, it was Kartvedt who was in the pilot’s seat, flying a few inches away from a neighboring aircraft at 800 mph while taking a six-plane vertical delta formation. “Anytime someone asks what goes through my head when I’m up there, I always say I’m just there in the moment,” explains Kartvedt, now the commanding officer of the Navy's first F-35 squadron, Strike Fighter Squadron ONE ZERO ONE (VFA-101). “There are times when you break away and you have that moment to fly, so you have that chance to take it all in or take in the crowd. It’s a rush!” Among more than 90,000 Pepperdine alumni, he is the only naval officer selected as a member of the Blue Angels. Yet without Pepperdine, Kartvedt would have never even considered enlisting in the military. Passing by Chancellor Emeritus Charlie Runnels’ office one afternoon in 1990, “I saw a naval aviation poster, which caught my eye,” he recalls. “I knocked on the door, started a conversation, and struck up a friendship from that point on. We talked a lot about naval aviation and the challenges of training, but also the joys of service.” Runnels later wrote a letter of recommendation for Kartvedt’s Navy application, which propelled his decades-long career in the military. Since then, Kartvedt has become a decorated naval commander, who has participated in 1996 Taiwanese Contingency Operations, Operations Southern Watch, and Iraqi Freedom; during Operation Enduring Freedom he commanded an F/A-18 squadron during two deployments supporting ground forces in Afghanistan. In 2010 Kartvedt assumed duties at the Pentagon as the Navy’s Joint Strike Fighter requirements officer responsible for establishing the Navy’s first stealth fighter and for training pilots and maintainers on how to operate the F-35. Ashore, Kartvedt served with Marine Strike Fighter Squadron 101 as an F/A-18 flight instructor and landing signal officer. He has also held a post as a requirements officer of the Naval Aviation Joint Strike Fighter, where he assisted the director of air warfare in the development, programming, and budgeting of war-fighting requirements for the F-35C Strike Fighter. Throughout his accomplished career, Kartvedt counts his wife Lisa (’90) as his most ardent supporter and someone who has enabled the family’s smooth transition throughout the 13 moves the Kartvedts have made since 2004. “We have always decided that we would move together,” he explains. “But the sweetest moment of any military career is the homecoming and homecoming embrace, because you spend six months thinking about it and when you finally reach that moment, it’s sweeter than anything you can imagine.”

On this episode, 5-time Bestselling author, decorated pilot and 2020 Presidential hopeful, Ed Rush shares how to simplify business and change the world for the better.   3 Things We Learned From This Episode Build systems around the few things that work (05:59- 06:54) As entrepreneurs, we tend to make business a lot more complicated than it really is. Essentially, business comes down to 2 to 4 things. Once you identify those elements, build systems around them. This simplifies your process and will make you much more effective.   Pay attention to the advice you receive (09:54- 11:06) Be wary of a coach or advisor who gives you tons of ideas. There are three levels of advice you should be receiving: suggestions to try something new, recommendations, and confident, foolproof go-aheads. As soon as a coach gives you too many more ideas, proceed with caution.   See the opportunities in turmoil (34:27- 35:16) All over the world, there is a growing unhappiness with leadership. Entrepreneurs can benefit from seeing the problems that need to be solved in these situations. As business owners, we have the ability to change the world for the better, as long as we’re seeking solutions.   The world we live in is currently going through a leadership crisis, in terms of politics, business and the home. Regardless of where this issue stems from, the reality is we need to see change. As entrepreneurs, we have the power to be at the forefront of that change. The way forward is uncomplicated. Let’s go back to the basics and cancel out the noise.   Guest Bio- Ed Rush is a decorated pilot, author, speaker, entrepreneur and a Presidential hopeful for 2020.

In this National Security Podcast extra, we speak to Professor Hugh White AO about his new book, How to Defend Australia. Hugh argues for a radical shift in the way we view America’s role in Asia, and that Australia can no longer count on US support should it find itself under the threat of being attacked. The discussion includes how China’s expanding economic and military power is dominating the region and what that means for the structure of Australia’s defence forces. As the region shifts and China flexes its military and economic muscles, how should Australia structure its national defence for the coming decades? Throughout his book, Hugh suggests that Australia should abandon its current plans for 12 French submarines and building 24 submarines, sell most of its newer vessels, and double the purchase of Joint Strike Fighter aircrafts. Little has set a fire under Australia’s national security community this much since his last book, The China Choice. Join us for an in-depth conversation where we test some of Hugh’s assumptions and detail his thinking of why the country needs to completely rethink the way it defends itself. Hugh White AO is Professor of Strategic Studies at the Australian National University. His work focuses primarily on Australian strategic and defence policy, Asia-Pacific security issues, and global strategic affairs especially as they influence Australia and the Asia-Pacific. He has served as an intelligence analyst with the Office of National Assessments, as a journalist with the Sydney Morning Herald, as a senior adviser on the staffs of Defence Minister Kim Beazley and Prime Minister Bob Hawke, and as a senior official in the Department of Defence, where from 1995 to 2000 he was Deputy Secretary for Strategy and Intelligence, and as the first Director of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. Chris Farnham is the presenter of the National Security Podcast. He joined the National Security College in June 2015 and is currently Senior Outreach and Policy Officer.

Airing date: 06/29/2019 Did the Apollo moon landings happen?. Yes they did! Are we in a Cyberwar with Iran? What you need to know the risks with third party contracts. ---- Hello, everybody and welcome. Of course, this is Craig Peterson, your host for the next give or take 27 minutes, we're going without commercial interruption again. We are going to be talking about some of the details of our digital lives. With the 50th anniversary of the moon landing coming up, we wanted to go through some of the facts about that event because for some odd reason a lot of people seem to be confused about what took place. It's kind of amazing to me because I remember it so well like it was yesterday. It's incredible to me to think that more than half of the people alive today were not even alive when the moon landing occurred. That's just a matter of perspective, right? We'll talk a bit about the cybersecurity gap. There was an article with some interesting observations in Forbes magazine this past week about it. We will discuss some flaws in both iOS and Android apps, and it might surprise you, but there are security flaws in almost as many iOS apps from Apple, as Android and I will tell you why and what those are. We have some new Mac malware that's out there right now, and it is an interesting one because it could go both ways. You could call this a user error. Or you might want to call it a security problem that Apple has, or maybe one Apple created. However, it is behaving the way it's was designed to work. This week, I did a big presentation for a University of New Hampshire mastermind group of CEOs. We were talking about the most significant cyber liabilities, and I shared that more than 60 percent of your theft is coming from inside. From inside I mean, those with authorized access which includes all Third Party Contractors. So we'll talk a little bit about that. If you travel for business, 3M has a couple of stark warnings for business travelers. Oh my, we've got to talk about this, the U.S. launched a cyber attack against Iran, instead of beginning with a kinetic strike. We'll talk a little bit about some significant implications to you and your business because of that. Then a little bit more here about liability for a data breaches and we will talk about all of this right now. So, let's get into it. First off liability for a data breach. As I mentioned, I had an excellent presentation this week at this mastermind group for the University of New Hampshire. There were a lot of interactive questions and comments about what I presented. It was kind of fascinating because there were several CEOs from various industries. For this group, they have a non-compete criterion that precludes the members from directly competing with each other. I belong to a mastermind group, a paid group, and they don't have that type of restriction, you have to be basically a decent person, and so there are many people in your same line of work, I kind of like that. As a general rule, there is a lot of business out there for everybody. And being able to talk to someone that speaks your language that's in your line of work, and discuss with them what's really happening is a huge deal. After my presentation, I had a few people comment afterward, that the stories that I wove in about clients of mine, that experienced security problems and were unable to solve them themselves. They tried, obviously, but they weren't successful, because they got hacked, they got breached. I use a lot of stories with some of these things, and it is especially important when we're talking about a data breach and your liability. I didn't get to bring that up this week, but it's absolutely massive. How significant is that liability for a data breach right now? We're talking about an average cost of over $7 million here in the U.S. The worldwide average is 3.8 million, but here in the U.S., it's about twice that. When we're discussing some of the data breaches that are going on and how they are continuing to grow, there's going to be more and more companies who are failing to assess their own systems for security flaws, realistically. That is why you need to have a third party come in. You can't trust your CIO or your in-house security person to do these types of audits, you need a third person to do it. Then once they have identified your weaknesses, you have to plug the holes. Sometimes that will also require the services of a third party do it because they know, exactly what they're doing. Many times, if you're a slightly bigger company, and you have your own I.T. staff. Then your I.T. team is going to do it. But it is something you have to think about. When you get hacked, what are you going to do? Your data is stolen, and you are out of business or as the expression goes - your goose is cooked. There is an excellent article from Kiplinger that I have up on my website right now about this very thing. As a business owner, CEO you on the hook for any losses sustained by your clients. I spent some time in the presentation talking about insurance. And that is an essential thing to have. For your business. However, more and more of the cyber liability insurance claims are getting cut back or even denied. Why? It is because companies are not doing everything that they ought to do, those things that are listed in the insurance contract. There are two main ways that civil liability for a data breach can occur. One is finding negligence. That is determined by whether your company is aligned with other peers in your industry, and adherence to the best practices if you will. If you're not or if you could have had better protection, then yes, indeed, you may have civil financial liability. Including some of those excessive governmental fines and penalties, we've talked about on the show before. Secondly, even if you did everything that was required to prevent a data breach, it could still happen. The next stage is, did you do enough after the event to reduce the harm to the people affected? Did you notify them right away? Did you take immediate investigation remediation steps? Did you contact law enforcement? What did you do after the fact, was it considered reasonable? These are all the things we need to keep in mind as business people. Having that plan in advance can save you both time and money. I went through some of those statistics as well. Here are some good points for everyone that this article makes and you should pay attention to. One you should have a breach coach who can help you put together your breach plan and who can run the breach response. It is crucial to get an attorney involved and involved early. Everyone should know what their roles are. This will be part of our security summer this year. So make sure you're signed up. I will have some documents about what your plan should look like who should be involved whose responsible for each part of that process. It can make a huge, huge difference. Here are the most liable people. If you're a consumer, and you've had your information breached pay attention to this as well because you have the other side. As a business if: You collect payment information for online sales, You maintain a database of personal information on current past or prospective customers You have employees, and you store information about employees digitally, including social security numbers, medical information (guess what you have HIPAA liability) I bet you thought those only applied to medical practice, you didn't have to worry about HIPAA, Well, you do. You have employees, You rely heavily on technology for daily operations( remember, you're going to be out of business, out of action for days, weeks, or even longer.) You're located in any jurisdiction has a mandatory Breach Notification laws. Right now, that is true of everywhere in the world. Well, in the first world countries, if you will, the United States has them. For every state, there are some federal notification laws. Depending on what type of business you have. The same is true in Canada and throughout Europe. Be careful here, too, when you are selecting your cyber insurance coverage. What you should have, what you can expect from that cyber insurance coverage. We'll talk more about this during our security summer, if you haven't already, make sure you sign up, just go to Craig Peterson dot com. There you'll see a sign-up, come up right at the top of the homepage, and you can sign up right there. I'll let you know when the security summer starts. We're going to be covering all kinds of stuff about firewalls about backups about liabilities, CEO type things all the way through home users. What you can do, what you should do. This week some are saying that Macs are infected with what they are calling malware. As I said, It's debatable whether it really is malware, because the software is behaving as expected. Mac OS has something now called gatekeeper, it keeps an eye on the programs on your computer, what you download where it came from and is it signed correctly? It is used by developers to have software that you download that is then referred off-site to add additional files, to get into the database server, etc. In this particular case, that is being talked about over ZDNet, it lets you gain access to a file server, it's called an NFS server. ZDNet is calling this a security flaw I'm not so sure it's a security flaw. Apple has known about it for a month, they haven't patched it, it would be easy enough to, but it would also break a lot of good software out there. Here's the trick. If you're running a Mac, or a P.C. or anything, do not download software from sites that you are not 100% confident can be trusted. It's just that simple. It's back to the brass tacks, right? Get right back to it. What are the brass tacks? In the security field, one of the first is: Don't click on stuff. Don't download and run software that is on your on a web browser on your computer. Now we know President Trump said he was going to respond to the Iranian aggression and shooting down our drone. There's dispute by Iran whether or not the drone was in the Iranian airspace. There's some question about that, too, because the United States, for instance, claims a 200-mile jurisdiction. The international agreement says it's a 12-mile zone, and some are 20 miles. Well, when we're talking about the Straits of Hormuz, I think it's 12 miles at the narrowest point. Is it an international space? Technically, yes. Did Iran claim the area it was in as their own? Well, obviously, they did. President Trump pulled out of a kinetic attack, we were ready to bomb their radar installations and their missile launching facilities. It came out this last weekend that instead we apparently we hacked them. Now, I found something exciting about this Russian power security breach that happened a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if you heard about that. But apparently, the U.S. broke into and had control of some Russian power stations located in Russia. We flipped the lights on and off possibly a few times to let them know, Hey, guys, we're here, Quit messing around with our elections and quit messing around with some of the other stuff that is ours there. We have that capability. President Obama put some cyber offensive capabilities in place, and President Trump has really upped the game there. Apparently, what he did, and this was the report from last week weekend, is that he authorized our cybersecurity guys to attack Iran. Now, when Russia attacked Ukraine, of course, that piece of malware spread worldwide and brought down hundreds of thousands of computers, as many were shut down, taken off the internet, and many others were held ransom because Russia did not have control over that malware. We apparently got malware into some of their missile launch systems. We were able to shut them down so that it didn't spread any farther. It is just like when we got into their centrifuges for making bombs for their purification of uranium, that code did not get any further than the centrifuges and destroyed them. Now, we went after them. U.S. businesses now should be ready for what's going to be a massive attack from Iran. We remember Iran doesn't have the finesse we do, they don't have all of the talents that we do. And they don't really care if they're hitting a military target or not. When it comes to CYBER WARS, these retaliatory strikes from Iran are very likely to be against pretty much anybody here in the U.S. They've already been attacking us before President Trump launched this attack, apparently against them. They've been bombarding us with software that's designed to wipe the contents of networks and computers, rather than steal their data. This is according to The Washington Post that I think is really kind of interesting. And that was from Chris Krebs, a director of the Homeland Security Department, Cyber Security Division. This means that if the Iranians get ahold of your business systems or your home system, they are going to wipe it clean. So make sure you have excellent backups. Again, if you don't make sure you attend my training here my security summer because we're going to be going over that. This is free people. It's absolutely free for anyone to attend, you can upgrade if you want to, to a paid version which will allow more access, but you're going to get all of the core information absolutely for free. Whether you're paid or not, you're going to get all the information for free. The same data, let me put it that way. Whether you decide to get the golden ticket, or just do it for free, that that's what I'm doing for the radio listeners, anyone can attend, because I want to get this information out there. Be prepared for the Iranian attack, they've already started attacking our businesses. We've already had North Korea attack. Russia attack. I mentioned this, in fact, in that CEO presentation I gave this last week for the UNH group. It happened right here in N.H. I was looking at one of our customers, who just had a website, and was looking at their firewall because we have some very advanced firewalls sitting in front of even web servers. These firewalls that we were looking at, just for that one web server, we were logging, five attacks. That is just crazy. Five attacks from Russia. It wasn't as I said, it wasn't only five attacks from Russia, it was five attacks per second, on average, over the last I think it was 36 or 48 hours. It was just crazy how this company was getting just hammered. However, you guys already know, if you listen to me for a while about a client that we picked up, that had been having email issues. We looked into it, and we ended up bringing the FBI in, with the client's permission, because we found Chinese back doors into their systems. This is a small manufacturer who kept all of their plans, of course, electronically, all of the manufacturing stuff, etc., etc. Now, they get to compete against China, with their own designs. That just blows my mind, frankly, How could you do that? It's, ignorance, right? It's thinking you're okay. In fact, going back to this story from Kiplinger, I was referring to earlier here, here's a great little quote from the author here, Dennis Beaver. And he says "My father is a dentist and is up in years, his office has all of his patient's record stored electronically, which he accesses from home from his laptop by leaving the server always on at the office. I mentioned this to a geeky friend who the next day, showed me dental records from my dad's office that he had hacked, he claimed to be doing this as a favor to get my father's attention about cybersecurity, and I believe him. By the way, be careful, never do that without permission, right? There are ethical hackers in my business here, who are doing penetration testing, but we make sure we've got full consent from the company. So don't, don't just go and do this. Thus, the story goes on. "When I told Dad, and he immediately changed the password but didn't seem too bothered. Here's another one. "I knew one fortune 500 company CFO who used the same password for over 10 years. Most think that it's a joke, but it was real and proved not so funny after his credentials were found in seven data breaches. His password was used to hack the company's email servers, spoof emails, and steal 10's of thousands of dollars without anyone noticing for months. I picked up a client here, a local one here in the northeast who had had $80,000 taken out of their operations account. And of course, they realized that pretty quickly, but by the time they noticed it, the money was gone. Be very, very careful. We're going to cover these things in our security summer, again, just Craig peterson.com. And subscribe right there on the homepage. And we'll let you know when that starts. Tentatively it is going to be mid-July by the looks of things right now. And we're talking about 10 to 15-minute sessions a couple of times a week. And we're going to keep them up for at least a week in case you miss it so that you can watch one of the replays a little bit later on. Okay, man, we are almost out of time here. 76% of mobile apps have flaws, allowing hackers to steal passwords, money, and texts. These are some high-risk vulnerabilities. They're universal across Android and iOS, Android has a little bit more risk than iOS, we're talking about, but 5% higher risk. This is according to a company called positive technology. They went in and looked at some of these mobile apps, and the biggest problem is in secure data storage. So be careful about that. Again, Cisco has an answer to that. And with iOS, it's just phenomenal. Nobody has anything like this other than Cisco. Be very, very careful, there are products out there that could be useful to you. Remember that stored information can be stolen. You can't necessarily trust the app developers, they might be taking your data. Great article, you'll see it on my website. It is from Forbes, and this is about the cybersecurity skills gap and won't be solved in the classroom. So have a look on my website for that one. Business travelers, something new called visual hacking, and this is from the Czech Republic, again, that's up on my website and in this morning's newsletter. The U.S. launches a cyber attack aimed at Iranian rocket and missile systems, and we will talk a little bit about that. We've got a couple of great articles online. I spoke about this with the UNH co mastermind this week third-party contractors. They are our weakest cybersecurity link. And they're just not being held accountable. You know, if you ask people who are the biggest cybersecurity threats out there who have talked about today, I mentioned what Russia, China, I said, North Korea mentioned Iran. And you'd be right. But those countries are the most significant foreign threats. And I, as I mentioned this week at the speech I gave this, is the real problem is internal. And by internal, I don't just mean your employees, I mean, your contractors. And that's one of the things you have to go through. When you're looking at the penetration testing, you're doing the analysis of your business and the data security. Now from the Customs and Border Protection, I talked this on May 31. They had a breach where 100,000 people were photographed inside vehicles crossing the border and a couple of lanes and included images of the vehicle license plates, maybe some other stuff that was that stolen, it was taken through a third party contractor that was doing work for Customs and Border Patrol. The most significant breaches of the last 10 years have also been self-inflicted. So let's look at this one. This is a significant number here. This is quoted in The Hill from Flexera. Patches were available for 86% of the vulnerabilities on the day of disclosure. In other words, when these companies came forward and told people about the hacks that had happened, at 86% of those were hacks, that didn't have to happen, because there were patches out already. Okay, in other breaches, access was gained by compromising a third party like the vendors who we were just talking about and stealing their credentials to log into the corporate network of the eventual target. Speaking of Target, look at Target, and back in 2013, 40 million credit cards were lost through a third party air conditioning provider that was connected to the corporate network. All the hacker had to do is break into the air conditioning system, and now they had a launch pad. Think of what happened out in Las Vegas, beautiful big fish tank, they put a smart controller in it that would warn them when their temperature got too cold because the fish are so expensive. It was hooked up to their network, and it was compromised. That fish tank temperature control system was used as a launching pad. We're seeing that all the time with cameras security cameras, the Office of Personnel Management was breached through Key Point government solutions. This is a third party used by the Office of Personnel Management. That third party gave China, 21 million personnel files, including the background checks conducted on top security clearances. In2017, Australian defense subcontractor lost 30 gigabytes of highly sensitive data, including information on the drone strike for the Joint Strike Fighter program. Crazy. By the way, the software had not been updated for 12 months. In 2018, China compromised the network of yet another defense contractor doing work for the Navy. Again, our technology, our advanced military superiority, has literally been stolen from us. Again from The Hill, in an assessment delivered to Navy SECRETARY RICHARD v. Spencer in March and reviewed by the Wall Street Journal, the Navy and its industry partners are under cyber siege by Chinese and Russian hackers. So think about all of that when you are thinking about your business and even your home computer. Segment your networks, break them up, use good passwords, this is all stuff we're going to review in our security summer. Again, Craig Peterson dot com, you can email me, and I'll let you know when it happens. Just text Me at Craig Peterson dot com, we're going to cover all of this. I want you guys to know what to do, whether you're an individual or a small-medium business. In most companies, face it the computer guy or gal is whoever likes computers the most, or maybe the one who wanted a raise. They're not necessarily computer professionals. It is very, rare to find security professionals. We're working every day trying to keep up to date. Even though I've been doing this for 30 years, and I'm still learning stuff. So be careful when you go out and hire outside firms. On to the Apollo program. I read a book back in the early 80s. And I marked it all up. And it was about how the lunar landing was a hoax. Hollywood has made some films about it. There are many people, and more and more kids nowadays think the whole thing was a setup. This is a great article written by Ethan Siegel. In the article, he talks a little bit about the moon landing. People are saying that the entire space program and NASA is nothing more than a hoax. Let's get go through a little bit of evidence. Number one, we can still see the evidence of the Apollo program on the moon even today. If you walk on the sand on a beach, the waves are going to level it out, and there won't be any sign that you were ever there. Right. But none of that exists on the moon. Even in the Sahara Desert on the sand, you've got the shifting winds that shift that sand around. However, that is not the case on the moon. We actually have pictures from regular people of the moon of the landing site, Apollo 12,14, and 17. Those have all been photographed from Earth. On the Apollo 12 landing sites. There is a ton of stuff you'll see this article from Forbes magazine. You can view all of the pictures. You can see it up on my website at Craig Peterson dot com. I have a link to a number to extensive photographic and video evidence from the Apollo missions themselves. The one I like the best is one that I am personally familiar with. This is a Lunar Laser Ranging, and there are many others. But this is one that we Ham Radio users use. We can bounce off of the moon there's a reflector that was left up there by the Apollo missions we can bounce a laser off, and we use that scientifically to figure out how far the moon is away. But there are also lunar seismometers there is the solar wind composition spectrum lunar surface magnetometer, a lunar dust collector, many more. It was all left up there all where it ran for years. Some of this technology is still running. We were there. Don't let them tell you otherwise. Take care, everybody. Make sure you sign up for the security summer at Craig Peterson, dot com Take care, everybody. Bye-bye. ---  Related articles: Be Careful What You Browse — Drive-By Malware on the Rise Are You Ready?

  Back in 1999, I landed on an aircraft carrier ...for the first time ...at night. Between us, I almost killed myself. Making matters worse, all of my fellow pilots were watching from an observation platform called “Vulture’s Row” (and apparently my near demise was particularly funny to them). You can catch the whole story here. The analogy is perfect: our country is headed into the water while our leaders laugh (and perhaps occasionally fiddle). That’s why this next Episode of Ed Talks is all about HOW TO FIX AMERICA. (Hint: the solution is not even that hard.)

Open architectures will make tech refreshes such as the latest avionics modernization (Technology Refresh 3 (TR3)) on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and other platforms much more efficient and cost effective in the long run. In the latest McHale Report Podcast, Bryant Henson, vice president and general manager for Harris Corporation's Electronic Systems Avionics Business Unit details how through the open architecture approach, the F-35's next-gen Integrated Core Processor (ICP) is targeted to generate a 75 percent reduction in unit cost compared to the current system, as well as a 25-time increase in computing power to support planned capability enhancements, greater software stability, higher reliability, and increased diagnostics that result in lower sustainment costs. During the podcast he also covers the Department of Defense's (DoD's) open architecture initiatives such as the Hardware Open Systems Technologies) effort and the advantages they bring.  This podcast is sponsored by Aerospace Tech Week, which will take place on 18/19th March 2020 in Toulouse, FRANCE.

The Navy’s version of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, recently declared ready for combat, has netted unacceptably low “fully mission capable” rates—meaning it’s in fact almost never fully ready for combat—according to a document obtained by the Center for Defense Information at the Project On Government Oversight (POGO). The fact that the Navy is pushing ahead with the aircraft in spite of evidence that it is not ready for combat and could therefore put at risk missions, as well as the troops who depend on it to get to the fight, comes at the same time as the Pentagon’s latest annual operational testing report for fiscal year 2018 shows that the entire F-35 program, the most expensive weapon system in history, is not ready to face current or future threats. We look at these issues and more in the latest episode of the Pentagon Labyrinth.

Het CDA wendde al de steven in het asielbeleid. Nu moet het CDA ook nog een andere koers gaan varen in het klimaatbeleid, vindt een groot aantal CDA’ers. Ze gaan hierover op het partijcongres van 9 februari aan de bel trekken. Jaap Jansen praat met Marieke van der Werf, in 2011 en 2012 CDA-woordvoerder energie en milieu in de Tweede Kamer.'Het CDA speelt verstoppertje achter de draagvlakdiscussie. Ik vind dat je daarmee wegloopt voor je verantwoordelijkheid als rentmeester. Je moet het voortouw nemen’, zegt Van der Werf. ‘Het is goed om naar zorgen te luisteren, maar je moet ook met oplossingen komen en een perspectief schilderen: dit is de samenleving waar we naartoe willen. De zorgen die Sybrand Buma opsomt, hebben geen relatie met duurzaamheid en klimaat. Het CDA zegt: het mag niet bij de huishoudens terechtkomen. En de bedrijven mogen het eigenlijk ook niet betalen. Dan betaalt niemand! Zo houden we elkaar in de klem. Het CDA-principe van 'gespreide verantwoordelijkheid' betekent dat we allemaal ons steentje bij moeten dragen. Het CDA-principe van 'sociale rechtvaardigheid' betekent: de sterkste schouders moeten de sterkste lasten dragen. En ook daar zie ik geen visie op bij het huidige CDA.'Het CDA stond vroeger met één been rechts en één been in het midden. Nu staan beide benen rechts. 'Dat ene been moet terug naar het midden en weg van het populisme.'Gaat dat onder Sybrand Buma lukken?Van der Werf: 'Ik hoop het. Als ik hem hoor en als ik hem spreek, dan denk ik: dat moet lukken. Maar zodra er verkiezingsdruk komt, zie ik het weer verdwijnen. Dus ik vrees eigenlijk van niet.'Dus het CDA moet op zoek naar een nieuwe leider?'Eh... Om deze onderwerpen echt te omarmen en geloofwaardig uit te dragen, ja. Ik zie het hem niet doen. Dus dan is het antwoord ja.'**Toevalligerwijs heeft Pieter Gerrit Kroeger het in deze aflevering ook over het CDA, want die partij krijgt volgende week een nieuwe voorzitter.PG licht diens voorgangers door, van 'Rooie Piet' Steenkamp tot en met de afscheidnemende Ruth Peetoom. ‘Het voorzitterschap van het CDA is een spijkerbed. Bijna allemaal verdwenen ze voortijdig.'**Kernwapens, we hebben er lang niet meer aan gedacht. Ze moeten terug op de agenda, zegt oud NAVO secretaris-generaal Jaap de Hoop Scheffer. ‘Toen de muur viel en de Sovjet-Unie ophield te bestaan, zijn wij in Europa met geopolitieke vakantie gegaan. We zijn bij wijze van spreken in de strandstoel gaan zitten en komen daar nu met enige moeite kreunend uit’, Hij publiceerde deze week met de Adviesraad Internationale Vraagstukken het rapport ‘Kernwapens in een nieuwe geopolitieke wereld – Hoog tijd voor nieuwe wapenbeheersingsinitiatieven’.Er mag nooit meer een kernwapen tot ontploffing worden gebracht, zegt De Hoop Scheffer, maar ondertussen zijn ze er nog wel. Een duivels dilemma.In de adviesraad liepen de gemoederen hoog op, geeft De Hoop Scheffer toe. ‘Ik zou het eerlijk gezegd een brevet van onvermogen en armoede hebben gevonden als dat niet zo zijn. Zo van: oh, we gaan over kernwapens rapporteren - twee weken, klaar! De Hoop Scheffer geeft er een klap met de hamer op en dit is het rapport. Nee, dit rapport heeft een lange ontstaansgeschiedenis. Er zijn mensen geweest die af en toe moeite hadden met de lijn. Dat concentreerde zich onder andere op de nucleaire taak voor de F-35.’Het nieuwe jachtvliegtuig, beter bekend als de Joint Strike Fighter, moet net als zijn voorganger de F-16 een atoomtaak krijgen, vindt De Hoop Scheffer. Een meerderheid van de Tweede Kamer vond in 2013 nog van niet. Onder de tegenstanders van toen: drie van de vier huidige regeringspartijen: CDA, D66 en ChristenUnie. Hier doemt dus een nieuw probleem op voor het kabinet Rutte III en dat had het al niet makkelijk.De Hoop Scheffer: ‘Als Nederland af zou zien van een nucleaire taak voor de F-35, zou dat desastreus zijn voor de transatlantische relatie en ook voor de NAVO, die gebaseerd is op wederzijdse solidariteit.’De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump wil het INF-verdrag opzeggen. Dat verdrag zorgde vanaf de jaren ’80 voor een drastische vermindering van kernwapens. ‘Wij zeggen: probeer alsjeblieft alles om dat verdrag overeind te houden. Als dat niet lukt, ontstaat er echt een gevaarlijke situatie in Europa.’**Tijdlijn afl. 22:00:00:00 – Intro door Jaap Jansen00:03:04 – Marieke van der Werf00:36:43 – PG Kroeger01:26:39 – Jaap de Hoop Scheffer01:56:30 – Uittro01:57:02 – Einde

“When you hear a statistic say that the average American brushes their teeth 1.02 times a day, ask yourself how could they have figured it out? Does it make sense that it could have been researched effectively? In this case they would have had to ask and don't you think it's a safe assumption that people lied?” In this episode of Made You Think, Neil and Nat discuss How to Lie with Statistics by Darrell Huff. In this book we learn how to spot deceptive statistics, ways surveys are manipulated and the hidden agenda behind every piece of data. “If you can’t prove what you want to prove, demonstrate something else and pretend that they are the same thing. In the daze that follows the collision of statistics with the human mind, hardly anybody will notice the difference. The semi-attached figure is a device guaranteed to stand you in good stead. It always has.” We cover a wide range of topics, including: Biased samples & discarded data Stereotypes, demographics and diversity in data The Sphinx, Aquatic Apes and Conspiracy Theories Grapefruits, Graphs and Guantanamo How to question and uncover the truth behind statistics And much more.

Easy to internalize many of the ideas. Useful for everyday life and not getting tricked by data. People rely on data, easily let their opinion be swayed by statistics. The book shows there are so many ways to game a statistic. Learning these rules will serve you well. 03:02 – Lots of overlap to Fooled by Randomness, similar themes for similar problems. This not a new book. Published in 1954 and is more relevant today than ever. 03:38 – Amazon reviews, can’t rely on reviews to be honest, for books, restaurants etc.  People give arbitrary scores for unrelated reasons. Scoring using 1-5 or 1-10 isn’t a useful benchmark. Don’t use 7 as a score, 6 or 8 have more concrete meanings. Book reviews skewed by the emotion you feel after reading. Books that are feel-good are rated higher even though if they’re not useful over the long term. 07:23 – Bonus material, 25 minutes, mini-episode on Sphinx conspiracy theories. Check out the Patreon to get it. 07:33 – Book structure, 6 chapters. Different ways statistics can be manipulated. Final chapter gives questions on how talk back to statistics. How to think about data. Similar layout and structure to the book Influence. 08:21 – Biased samples. Where a sample is not representative or too narrow, results are also going to be the same. Psychiatrist example – everyone seems neurotic if you only work with neurotic people. Jimmy Fallon sketch, testing people’s geography knowledge. The joke is that Americans are stupid but they only show those that fail. Also the environment and element of surprise impacts data too. Biased data can’t tell you anything useful. 10:39 – Media portrayal of Trump voters. Using unflattering stereotypes that then becomes accepted as the norm. Media also uses the tactic of showing biased stereotypes of protests and violence to influence opinions on the Middle-East. 11:54 – Statistics on deaths in school vs military. Total deaths may be more in school but this data gets used to imply probability and likelihood of death – which is a completely different statistic. Presenting data one way to provoke an alternative interpretation. Data is being used to tell a story that serves an agenda. When we hear a statistic we assume it’s real, we need to question it more. 14:06 – Discarded data – Example of gallup polls, who answers these polls? Do you know anyone who has been polled? This shows that the sample is not truly representative. Twitter surveys on evolution and skewed data due to restrictive demographics in sampling. The method of survey affects the outcome. Phone polls vs online polls change age demographic. Difficulty of getting a representative sample. All samples will be biased in some way.  They key is knowing what is the bias in your sample so it can be corrected or highlighted. Hillary Clinton, opinion polls. Bernie Sanders on healthcare spending. 17:56 – Averages and mean, mode & median. How average can mean 3 different things and are used in certain scenarios.  The term average doesn’t mean a lot, need to understand how it was calculated. Mean is hugely skewed by a single outlier but outliers make little difference to the median. As Taleb says, never cross a river that’s on average four feet deep. Averages for income, height, grades, education and how they should be calculated. You can use mean average on things like education because there is a limit to the number of degrees someone can have. 21:34 – Startups and how they calculate their daily active users or revenue per user can be deceptive. Year to date revenue gives a better understanding than monthly. Incomes in a neighborhood can change depending on the average that is used. Once can seem high to prop up real estate figures. The other can seem low to support home owner association protests. Both use the same data manipulated to serve an agenda and presented in different ways. When to use the Mode? Use mode when dealing with non-numerical values to discover the most fashionable or most popular item. 26:35 – Health resort promoting ill informed seminars on the nutritional value of meat. Lots of common myths that we don’t do much research on. The top result on google is not always accurate, it isn’t being fact checked so we should know to research these things. 28:15 – Bonus material. Sphinx and conspiracy theories. Theories not being taken seriously by archeologists. Aquatic apes, crony beliefs and things we want to be true. 29:51 – Difficult to research for everything you hear, you have a time limitation on having to form a belief.  Find sources that you can trust and discount those who don’t have the authority to speak on a particular matter. Testing authority & parents. Authority and taking advice of doctors despite how long ago their education may have been. 32:01 – Dangers of listening to people who are not experts in a particular topic. Who is qualified to talk on a particular subject? Everyone thinks everyone should have an opinion on everything. If you trust someone in one area, don’t trust them on everything. The danger of intellectual heroes. Being fans of Taleb but knowing he is not always right. Admire someone’s work but don’t look to them for guidance on everything. Don’t agree with all someone’s opinions. Don’t criticize someone for favouring one viewpoint of someone you think is completely bad. 34:32 – Difficulties of political debate. Not possible to openly agree with Trump on a specific idea like tariffs. People automatically assume you agree with him on everything.  Opioid manufacturers being indicted, seems like a great idea but you can voice those opinions. Politics as the new religion. Now is more like picking a side and blindly sticking to it. Loss of discourse. Idea sports. 38:21 – Political parties flip ideals when they are in charge. No incentive to pay down the national debt. Involves imposing unpopular cuts and taxes. Cutting unnecessary spending seems logical. Latest military jet, expensive but unfit for purpose. 43:40 – Changing opinion of Trump. He wasn’t as radical as everyone was expecting. He wants to win a second term. Bernie Sanders may be more the type of person to make radical changes. Bernie Sanders as a dream podcast guest. Debating with Andrew Yang. 2020 Election.   44:54 – Discarded data. Companies continue to run experiments until they get the outcome they want. Significant portions of experiments have been discarded. What is classed as a statistically significant result? If you run 1000 experiments and 999 fail to show significant results. Using the 1 result as showing something significant without presenting the rest of the data. Antidepressant studies show negligible impact compared to a placebo but also had lots of negative side effects. Yet only those studies that showed net positive effects got published. 46:48 – Cosmetics and food companies regularly use skewed samples in their data. Skin complaints and using regression back to the norm as proof of product working. Companies start another study and keep going until they get the results they need. 47:49 – Big Data. The larger size the data set the more likely you will be able to prove whatever you want by slicing the data in particular ways. Correlation and causation. Nicolas Cage movies vs School Shootings. Ice cream consumption vs murder rates. Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Climate change vs Piracy. Nicolas Cage movies vs Swimming Pool Drownings. You can pair any two things together that rise and fall in the same trends. This does not mean that one affects the other. Small samples have a huge variance. It’s possible to get 8/10 heads when flipping a coin but so much less likely to get 80/100 however the result is still the same. You can get a significant result by using a smaller data set. Most pharmaceutical tests are not done on women. Most drugs go to market without being thoroughly tested on the female biology, the interaction with estrogen, birth control. Limited studies on the interactions with other drugs. You would think it should be tested alongside common medications. Grapefruit juice and other fruits have properties in them that amplify the potency of certain drugs so you have to be careful not to take it alongside certain medications 54:39 – Graph manipulation. Show 3 different graphs with the same data but from different perspectives they look totally different. By having axes that don’t start at zero they don’t tell the whole picture. Zoom in on a significant portion of the results making the incline of the line on the graph steeper or shallower according to the data included. How you frame the graph makes a difference in the perception of the same data. 58:08 – Semi attached figure is when you say one thing and imply another. You can’t say something cures colds but you can say it kills 300k germs in 11 seconds in a test tube. This data then lets people make up their own minds and infer an incorrect conclusion. Cigarettes statistics and the preferred brand of physicians. The statistic doesn’t tell you anything. Weather and the number of accidents. Even though fog is more dangerous there will always be more accidents in clear weather because there is more clear weather days than foggy days. Trying to compare 2 stocks by share price is a common mistake. 01:02:08 – Statistics used for catchy headlines and for their shock value. Accidents in the home are more common – makes you feel like it’s more dangerous. True of anywhere that you spend the most time. You can represent the same data in many different ways so it sounds completely different. 01:04:38 – Correlation vs causation. Smoking vs low grades. Easy to infer that one causes the other but it could be the opposite or other lifestyle factors. People who eat McDonalds vs heart disease and correlating that to eating meat. Beer bellies and the correlation to poor health. Often combined factors including environment and other common habits associated to beer drinking. 01:08:40 – Changing attitudes to college. Myth of college equaling success. Negates the other factors of how you got to college that contributes to your success. You don’t get to see alternative histories. College popularity is dropping, poor choice of investment. 01:11:01 – How to talk to a statistic, questions to ask to understand the data you are being presented with. Who Says So? Who is telling you this information and what is their bias or agenda. When presented with impossible statistics think how did they get that data? Look at the demographics of academic psychological studies – most participants are college students. Think about if studies can be replicated. 01:15:29 – How Does He Know? Look out for evidence of a biased sample or a sample that has been improperly selected. Is the sample big enough to give a reliable conclusion. 01:15:44 – What Were their methods? Does it make sense that people could actually know this information? Cancer diagnosis and changing rates. Survival seems longer as we are detecting it earlier, doesn’t actually mean the treatments have an impact. Also people are living longer to become more susceptible to cancer. And a growth in population so naturally numbers will rise. 01:17:25 – What’s Missing? Looking at raw data can give you a true picture. Johns Hopkins and female students. Look at startup growth, how they measure it. Percentages don’t tell you if they have 100 users or 10k users. Raw percentages are misleading. This also happens with diversity, gender. Expecting women to be exactly 50% of elected representatives. However that doesn’t account for the application pool and what happens when you reach that 50%. Do you limit diversity? Male vs Female leadership in Wall Street Organizations. Sexism. Dichotomy creates oppression. When you try to balance you create an alternative discrimination. 01:23:10 – Did somebody change the subject? The reasons for collecting data often skew the results. Do people want to be counted, are people incentivized to give a truthful answer? China example, different census record, one for military and tax reasons the second for famine relief. 01:24:27 – Does it make sense? If you hear a statistic that doesn’t seem plausible or too incredible it’s usually a good sign to be skeptical. 01:25:08 – Bonus material, sphinx conspiracy theories, join the patreon to access it. Overall a good book, quick read, quite entertaining and funny. Super useful. Internalize the questions and use them against outlandish statistics. Look for multiple examples to prove something is good or bad.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Richard Wolff, a professor of Economics Emeritus, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, founder of the organization Democracy at Work, and author whose latest book is “Capitalism's Crisis Deepens: Essays on the Global Economic Meltdown.” Today is the big day for the Trump administration’s highly controversial new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. The decision went down to the wire as speculation mounted throughout the day that certain elements of the tariffs could be softened and U.S. allies exempted.“Criminal Injustice” continues today, about the most egregious conduct of our courts and prosecutors and how justice is denied to so many people in this country. Kevin Gosztola, a writer for Shadowproof.com and co-host of the podcast Unauthorized Disclosure, and Paul Wright, the founder and Executive Director of the Human Rights Defense Center and editor of Prison Legal News (PLN), join the show. The police chief of Asheville, North Carolina is offering to resign “if people want her to” in the aftermath of a leaked video showing one of her former police officers beating a Black man who had been stopped for jaywalking. Brian and John speak with Michelle Gross, the president of Communities United Against Police Brutality. The Israeli Knesset has passed a law authorizing the Interior Minister to strip residency rights of any Palestinian in Jerusalem for what the law says is a “breach of loyalty.” Residency also will be revoked for any Palestinian who commits a crime, in the view of the Interior Ministry.

DOT&E Releases Analysis and It Isn’t Pretty President Trump called the F-35 “fantastic.” It appears he didn’t read the latest brutally honest report from the Pentagon’s testing office. POGO wades through the complicated language of the report to show there are still many unresolved problems with the program. The F-35 still has a long way to go before it will be ready for combat. That was the parting message of Dr. Michael Gilmore, the now-retired Director of Operational Test and Evaluation, in his last annual report. The Joint Strike Fighter Program has already consumed more than $100 billion and nearly 25 years. Just to finish the basic development phase will require at least an extra $1 billion and two more years. Even with this massive investment of time and money, Dr. Gilmore told Congress, the Pentagon, and the public, “the operational suitability of all variants continues to be less than desired by the Services." What will it take to fix the numerous problems identified by Dr. Gilmore, and how do we best move forward with the most expensive weapon program in history, a program that has been unable to live up to its own very modest promises?

The Empire Club of Canada Presents: Mr. Alain Bellemare, President and Chief Executive Officer Bombardier Inc. Alain Bellemare was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer, Bombardier Inc. on February 13, 2015. He is also a member of the Corporation's Board of Directors. Prior to his appointment, Mr. Bellemare was President and Chief Executive Officer of UTC Propulsion and Aerospace Systems, a $30 billion US business, from July 2012 to January 2015. In this role, he had leadership responsibility for Pratt and Whitney and UTC Aerospace Systems. He led the successful acquisition and integration of Goodrich, which was combined with Hamilton Sundstrand to form UTC Aerospace Systems. His responsibilities also included some of the largest programs in UTC's history, among them the integrated aerospace systems for the Boeing 787, Pratt and Whitney's Geared TurboFan Engine and the F135 engine for the Joint Strike Fighter. Alain Bellemare began his career with UTC at Pratt and Whitney Canada in 1996 as Vice President of Manufacturing. He held leadership roles of increasing responsibility at UTC including President of Pratt and Whitney Canada, 2002, President of Hamilton Sundstrand, 2009, and Chief Operating Officer of UTC Propulsion and Aerospace Systems, 2011. In these roles, he was responsible for global operations, strategic planning and business development. Before joining Pratt and Whitney Canada, Mr. Bellemare spent more than 12 years in a variety of engineering and manufacturing positions with Kraft Canada and Crown Cork and Seal Canada. He earned an MBA from McGill University in 1993 and a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Sherbrooke in 1985.

Brian Mack initially had aspirations of becoming an astronaut and got his Aerospace Engineering degree in college. After college, he took a job at Pratt & Whitney where he got to work on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. He went on to work for a company designing replacement parts for gas turbine engines for power plants. But, within a year, the company was sued by GE for patent infringement. This was Brian’s first experience with patent law and got to see the mix of engineering, science, and law together. From this, he decided to move and pursue his law degree. He has worked with software companies, energy companies, engineering firms, and one of the Big Three auto manufactures on patent work. Lathrop & Gage has a long history of providing counsel for all sorts of legal matters. This podcast covers the specifics of patent law and we will be featuring more podcasts that cover other areas pertaining to the aftermarket automotive industry.

The F Word with Laura Flanders

U.S. President Barack Obama has ordered a review of the distribution of military hardware to state and local police. That's a relief. Now can we have a review of the distribution of military influence throughout US society? What we've learned so far is that under a federal program, more than $5 billion worth of military equipment has gone to more than 8,000 city and state agencies since 1997. I found out this weekend that one small town not far from me received six military HumVees for a police department where just 25 officers work. Mine-resistant trucks aren't the only war tools showing up in US suburbs. Take those gunshot wounds. Michael Brown, the unarmed teen shot by a police in Ferguson August 9, was shot six times, twice in the head. Ever wonder why so many gun shot victims show up with multiple bullets in their flesh? It's certainly the cop; it's also the gun. As the Atlantic Magazine reported this summer, every time that Congress pays a military contractor to develop a new killer weapon for the battlefield, it almost at once shows up at High Street gun shops – and in Hollywood movies, like Lethal Weapon 1,2, 3 & 4. Obama's review has been sparked by public shock at images from Ferguson, but what do people think happens when war profiteers dominate the marketplace, the media and Congress? There's a lot of surplus out there because defense contractors lobby for it. The top five companies spent more than $65 million last year persuading Congress to cancel promised cuts. As a result the 2014 budget gave them everything they asked for, including the controversial F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the most expensive weapons system ever, and a tank that we already know that nobody wants. Weapons makers don't just do war work of course. Lockheed Martin, the maker of that costly fighter, has also snapped up government contracts to do data collection for everyone from the Postal Service and IRS, despite a history of fraud. Now the country's SWAT teams are lobbying to keep their military surplus and there's about to be more of it because Congress is already hearing the Pentagon's $555 billion budget for next year, isn't enough, in light of the threat posed by the Islamic State. That's good news for the SWAT teams and probably for ISIS. In Syria and Iraq, ISIS has seized an arsenal of US military gear -- even more than the Ferguson police! So by all means yes, let's examine the surplus program. But let's not stop at that. While we're at it, Obama says the review will be done by White House Staff and “relevant" agencies including Homeland Security and the Departments of Defense. We can guess what will come of that. How about the residents in towns with all this firepower review the program? Especially the ones who've been shocked, not just by the images, but by the experience of having police point assault rifles at their heads. For GRITtv, I'm Laura Flanders

"Als ik nou echt guts zou hebben, dan liet ik alles achter en begon ik een duikschool in Egypte." Zo omschreef onze gast van vanavond in een interview zijn toekomstdroom, nu hij na 38 jaar afscheid heeft genomen van de strijdkrachten. Generaal buiten dienst Dick Berlijn. Afgelopen april trad hij af als Commandant der Strijdkrachten, de functie die nu in handen is van generaal Peter van Uhm. Dick Berlijn werd in 1950 geboren in Amsterdam. Hij wordt als eerste zoon geboren in een militair gezin, want ook vader Dick Berlijn senior was generaal bij de Koninklijke luchtmacht. Na het behalen van zijn HBS-A-diploma, wilde hij graag de burgerluchtvaart in, maar ging uiteindelijk naar de Militaire Academie in Breda, waar hij zijn fascinatie voor het vliegen ook kwijt kon. Daar begon onbedoeld zijn 38-jarige militaire carrière. In 2000 bereikte hij de hoogste positie bij de luchtmacht, bevelhebber der Luchtstrijdkrachten, en van 2004 tot 2008 werd hij de hoogste defensieman - eerst als Chef defensiestaf, toen, sinds 2005, als Commandant der Strijdkrachten, een nieuw omschreven functie. Onder zijn leiderschap kwam de missie in Uruzgan tot stand en hij maakte de meest roerige Defensietijden mee sinds de val van Srebrenica. De missie in Uruzgan, met als doel het versterken van de legitieme rechtsorde in Afghanistan, wordt door steeds minder mensen in Nederland als een zinvolle en succesvolle missie gezien – en ongetwijfeld is dat een belangrijk gespreksonderwerp vanavond. Net als de balans die Berlijn moest zien te vinden tussen de politieke wens tot vredesmissies en de wensen van de organisatie die te lijden had van bezuinigingen die maar door gingen. En dat terwijl Berlijn wel een enthousiast bepleiter is van de aanschaf van de nieuwe gevechtsvliegtuigen, de Joint Strike Fighter als vervanger van de F 16’s. ----------------------------------------------- Samenvatting eerste uur: Om te beginnen verkeerden ze in Kamp Holland in Uruzgan, maar dan via de theatervoorstelling Kamp Holland van Orkater. Interviewer Ger Jochems en Berlijn hebben die voorstelling ter voorbereiding op dit gesprek bekeken. Berlijn had er met bewondering naar gekeken – het klopte, het taalgebruik, de manier waarop soldaten met elkaar omgaan, de humor, het met spanningen omgaan, het opladen voor ze de poort uitgaan, de cultuurverschillen tussen mensen die binnen blijven en de poort uitgaan – met alle risico’s daarvan, bermbommen, de dood. 'Hevig' was zijn eerste reactie dan ook. Hij denkt dat de veteranen die bij iedere voorstelling in de zaal zitten dat ook doen uit behoefte aan begrip voor hun ervaringen – want dat begrip krijgen ze niet in overmaat als ze terugkomen in Nederland, en dat is frustrerend. Hij zou willen dat de samenleving nog méér achter de missie staat dan nu gebeurt, want het maatschappelijk draagvlak is gezakt tot nog minder dan 30 procent. Hij merkt vaak als hij lezingen geeft dat mensen zo weinig weten – je kan niet de brandweer op pad sturen om een huis te blussen en dan halverwege roepen dat het hier om een waardeloos huis gaat, dus dat je maar omdraait – nee, 126 kamerleden hebben ja tegen deze missie gezegd en leg dan uit waarom we er zijn. We zijn er op uitnodiging van het legitieme gezag en om het legitieme gezag te versterken. Daarom helpen we het Afghaanse leger en de politie opbouwen. Maar wie spreek je aan, wil Jochems weten. Minister van Defensie van Middelkoop dóet dat toch: achter de missie staan, nu het achttiende slachtoffer gevallen is. Wat mis je nou concreet? Hij is de laatste, zegt hij, die kritiek heeft op regering. Hij spreekt eigenlijk iedereen aan. Om te begrijpen dat we daar zijn om schending van mensenrechten te voorkomen en de internationale rechtsorde te garanderen - dat staat nota bene in onze grondwet. Het is een oproep, herhaalt hij nog eens, aan ons allen. Het is geen kritiek op de regering of de minister van defensie. Hij heeft nooit getwijfeld of de missie legitiem is en hij heeft ook nooit getwijfeld of de missie wel progressie maakt. Het is een lange-termijnproject. Een complex conflict, waar het vooral gaat om het wegwerken van de invloed van de talibaan en om de bevolking weerbaarder te maken, en om de mensenrechten en de internationale rechtsorde te handhaven. Realiseren we ons te weinig wat het kost om zo’n principieel besluit te nemen? is de vraag. Ja het kost heel veel, zegt hij, en als je niet doorgaat achter je eigen principiële beslissing te staan dan zeg je cynisch: we trekken ons niks aan van wat er in onze eigen grondwet staat. En hij hoopt op meer ontwikkelingssamenwerking en diplomatie in de naaste toekomst, zodat ook de bevolking in Uruzgan het profijt meer ziet – van onze Nederlandse aanwezigheid, of als wij er niet blijven na 2010, van de opvolgers. Want blijven moeten we. Samenvatting tweede uur: De fascinatie voor vliegen – daar ging het vooral om. Berlijns HBS-A opleiding was niet goed genoeg om KLM-piloot te worden. Toen werd het de KMA, en dat beviel hem. Heel veel sport, en militaire vorming. Characterbuilding – wat is solidariteit, wat is een team. Het besef dat je voor elkaar door het vuur moet gaan. Een boeiend aspect van defensie, noemt hij dat. In Canada leerde hij vliegen en zo werd hij F16-piloot. Vliegen, dat moet je écht willen – lang niet iedereen haalde het. Als vlieger moet je in staat zijn heel snel de gegevens die de instrumenten je geven om te zetten in overzicht. Je leert focussen, je leert met spanning om te gaan. Berlijns vader was ook vlieger, maar die was al uit actieve dienst toen Dick erin ging, en competitie heeft hij niet gevoeld met zijn vader. Jochems wilde weten of zijn vader in dienst gegaan was uit behoefte een familie te vinden? De vader was in Indië op zijn twaalfde alleen komen te staan, toen zijn vader daar overleed en zijn moeder, de actrice Sophie Stein, in Nederland aan haar carriere werkte. Nee, zegt Berlijn, ik geloof dat mijn vader een gelukkige jeugd heeft gehad, hij kwam bij zijn moeder Sophie in Nederland terecht en er waren famiieleden die bij de KMA zaten waardoor hij op het idee kwam. Dan ging het weer over vliegen – over het realistische trainen met de F16's bijvoorbeeld, het realistisch laag vliegen 10 meter boven de aarde – het was toen heel normaal dat er twee doden per jaar vielen, zo serieus werd het genomen en zo goed voorbereid ging men dan ook op missie toen het zover was: de eerste Nederlandse gevechtsvliegtuigen sinds Nieuw-Guinea dertig jaar daarvoor gingen naar Bosnië om Servische bommenwerpers uit het luchtruim te houden. Ze hebben één basis gebombardeerd – een bom laten vallen, dat voel, dat hoor je en dat ruik je.

Hij heeft nooit getwijfeld of de missie legitiem is en hij heeft ook nooit getwijfeld of de missie wel progressie maakt. Het is een lange-termijnproject. Een complex conflict, waar het vooral gaat om het wegwerken van de invloed van de talibaan en om de bevolking weerbaarder te maken, en om de mensenrechten en de internationale rechtsorde te handhaven. Realiseren we ons te weinig wat het kost om zo’n principieel besluit te nemen? is de vraag. Ja het kost heel veel, zegt hij, en als je niet doorgaat achter je eigen principiële beslissing te staan dan zeg je cynisch: we trekken ons niks aan van wat er in onze eigen grondwet staat. En hij hoopt op meer ontwikkelingssamenwerking en diplomatie in de naaste toekomst, zodat ook de bevolking in Uruzgan het profijt meer ziet – van onze Nederlandse aanwezigheid, of als wij er niet blijven na 2010, van de opvolgers. Want blijven moeten we. Samenvatting tweede uur: De fascinatie voor vliegen – daar ging het vooral om. Berlijns HBS-A opleiding was niet goed genoeg om KLM-piloot te worden. Toen werd het de KMA, en dat beviel hem. Heel veel sport, en militaire vorming. Characterbuilding – wat is solidariteit, wat is een team. Het besef dat je voor elkaar door het vuur moet gaan. Een boeiend aspect van defensie, noemt hij dat. In Canada leerde hij vliegen en zo werd hij F16-piloot. Vliegen, dat moet je écht willen – lang niet iedereen haalde het. Als vlieger moet je in staat zijn heel snel de gegevens die de instrumenten je geven om te zetten in overzicht. Je leert focussen, je leert met spanning om te gaan. Berlijns vader was ook vlieger, maar die was al uit actieve dienst toen Dick erin ging, en competitie heeft hij niet gevoeld met zijn vader. Jochems wilde weten of zijn vader in dienst gegaan was uit behoefte een familie te vinden? De vader was in Indië op zijn twaalfde alleen komen te staan, toen zijn vader daar overleed en zijn moeder, de actrice Sophie Stein, in Nederland aan haar carriere werkte. Nee, zegt Berlijn, ik geloof dat mijn vader een gelukkige jeugd heeft gehad, hij kwam bij zijn moeder Sophie in Nederland terecht en er waren famiieleden die bij de KMA zaten waardoor hij op het idee kwam. Dan ging het weer over vliegen – over het realistische trainen met de F16's bijvoorbeeld, het realistisch laag vliegen 10 meter boven de aarde – het was toen heel normaal dat er twee doden per jaar vielen, zo serieus werd het genomen en zo goed voorbereid ging men dan ook op missie toen het zover was: de eerste Nederlandse gevechtsvliegtuigen sinds Nieuw-Guinea dertig jaar daarvoor gingen naar Bosnië om Servische bommenwerpers uit het luchtruim te houden. Ze hebben één basis gebombardeerd – een bom laten vallen, dat voel, dat hoor je en dat ruik je.
