2026-06-13 | UPDATES #213 | How Putin's regime ends: the Abramovich Kyiv mission, the Beria precedent and why a chasm is opening between Putin, reality and his elites. 10 June 2026 — the most strategically consequential diplomatic event of the spring of 2026 was held in a Kyiv residence on 21 may, was disclosed by Putin himself at SPIEF on 5 June, and has now re-written the Russian elite's decisional arithmetic. But we must ask, is Abramovich negotiating on behalf of Putin, or the elites that may increasingly be diverging from him, in terms of their perceived interests. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Colombia's players arrived at the 1994 World Cup inside one of the most complex and dangerous threat environments any professional athlete has ever been asked to perform in, a landscape where cartel money owned the clubs, gambling syndicates owned the outcomes, and the consequences of failure were communicated not through contracts but through the implicit violence of an entire narco ecosystem. Situational awareness inside that environment required reading signals that were never made explicit, understanding who controlled what, who the real authority was, and what losing on the world's biggest stage actually meant to the people with the most to lose. This episode uses Colombia's World Cup campaign and the assassination of Andrés Escobar as a framework for understanding environmental threat assessment, how coercive systems obscure their own command structures, and what it looks like when a person fails to fully perceive the danger embedded in the world around them until it is too late.

Big 80's hair may be the best actor in this one.

When is the use of lethal force legal in the United State? In every state of the union, lethal force can be used to protect an innocent part from an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury.

Dan talks about why there aren't better less lethal options and more efficient death penalty methods, and then talks to Joan on the lates with Israel and Iran | aired on Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026 on Nashville's Morning News with Dan MandisSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Firearms for self-defence are nothing new, but what about when the situation means one cannot use them? Let's say the regulations of your country or region don't allow it, or the specific place you're in doesn't permit carrying a firearm. What about for those people who want to protect themselves but don't necessarily want to carry or use a real firearm? In those situations, less lethal solutions come to the fore. The less lethal market is on a growth curve – both for public citizens and also law enforcement professionals – as people seek ways to protect themselves in an increasingly volatile world that are perhaps more morally acceptable than regular firearms. Riding this wave is Vesta Defense, a company created by airsoft industry stalwart Armen Ekmekdje. He turned more than 20 years of experience working for Cybergun into a new market that has grown considerably in the few short years he has been working in it.

Brad Carson was the Army's General Counsel, served two terms in Congress and was Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness. He now heads Americans for Responsible Innovation, the AI-policy advocacy group he co-founded. Keith Duggar spends roughly eighty minutes pushing back.SPONSOR:---Cyber Fund built the Monastery to help founders ship products that were impossible a year ago. Applications for Batch 1 are now open.Apply now: https://cyber.fund---Carson's whole case rests on one line: the genie is not out of the bottle. We have pulled dangerous tech back before. Asilomar halted recombinant DNA in 1975, and the West still controls the chips AI runs on. Calling it unstoppable, he says, is the most dangerous idea in the room.Then Keith drags him somewhere darker. A Palantir heat map scores you 0.73 on whether you are a combatant, and a strike follows. The model is wrong some accepted share of the time, and when it is, nobody answers for it.

Long before modern Tier 1 units existed, a shadow command of Green Berets, Navy SEALs, and CIA operatives rewrote the playbook for clandestine warfare under the cover of the Vietnam War. We delve into the complex organizational structure and psychological operations of MACV-SOG, exploring how their highly classified intelligence gathering shaped the future of modern American special operations. Discover the staggering cost of these invisible campaigns, the long battle for declassification, and why their tactical doctrines are still studied in deep-cover defense circles today.

When small, deep-cover reconnaissance teams were compromised behind enemy lines, the military deployed its ultimate hidden hammer: the MACV-SOG Exploitation Forces. This episode breaks down the brutal tactical doctrine of "Hatchet Teams," the platoon-sized commando units engineered for heavy combat, airmobile ambushes, and lightning-fast rescue operations in denied territories. We analyze how these highly trained, multi-ethnic shock troops confronted massive North Vietnamese army forces to rewrite the rules of modern air-assault warfare.

Tonight on Triple Feature, we're diving into three 2026 streaming-era genre swings: Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, Pretty Lethal, and Thrash. On paper, each one has the kind of premise that sells itself before the movie even starts: gangsters, romance, crime, and time travel; ballerinas forced into violent survival mode; and a hurricane-flooded coastal town where sharks are suddenly part of the disaster plan. But that is also the problem. These are not old-fashioned star vehicles or theatrical events. They are premise-first movies built for the thumbnail age, where the logline has to do most of the work. So the question tonight is not simply whether these movies are good or bad. It's whether the modern streaming B-movie still has personality, danger, and invention — or whether it has become a content slot wearing the skin of exploitation cinema. Are these sharp little genre machines, disposable algorithm bait, or proof that dumb fun still has a pulse? Gangsters, ballerinas, hurricane sharks — the algorithm wants blood.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

Lethal records are being set almost daily in Ukraine's war with Russia. But even as the air war expands, the tide on the ground may be turning. Last month, Ukraine managed to liberate more land than Russia seized - the first time Moscow suffered a net loss of territory since 2024. In his nightly address, President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned Russia to expect more attacks. Correspondent Nick Paton Walsh brings us a first hand, harrowing look at the new drone warfare, reporting from eastern Ukraine.  Also on today's show: Former Ukrainian Minister of Economy Tymofiy Mylovanov; Former AUS ssistant Secretary of State for the Western Hemisphere Juan Gonzalez; director Rita Coburn ("W.

Bobby and Alex discuss Noah Syndergaard's lackluster right-wing grift, including whether or not it's “hard” to be conservative in MLB. Then, they acknowledge that MLB and the MLBPA met for their first official bargaining session ahead of the expiration of the current MLB CBA, discussing whether there's anything that can be gleaned from the tone and tenor of bargaining this early in the process. Next, they assess the legacies of two huge figures in the baseball world who passed away over the last few weeks: Ted Turner, the larger-than-life owner of the Atlanta Braves, and John Sterling, the iconic Yankees radio broadcaster. Finally, they chat about the idea of a “Wokes” vs. “Chuds” All-Star Game, and whether it would actually be way closer than one might first assume.Links:Buy tickets for the Tipping Pitches Brooklyn Cyclones Meetup on June 12⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Tipping Pitches Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tipping Pitches merchandise ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Call the Tipping Pitches voicemail: 785-422-5881Tipping Pitches features original music from Steve Sladkowski of PUP.

On this explosive edition of Light ‘Em Up:We probe and examine the Federal Death Penalty.On Friday, April 17th, 2026, the Trump Administration said it would allow executions by firing squad and restore the use of lethal injections in federal death-penalty cases.The Trump Administration has no problem with:—  dropping missiles on little schoolgirls in Iran—  supplying the weapons that have killed over 72,000 people including women and children in Gaza (since the October 7th, 2023, Hamas attack) — and—  blowing up boats piloted by unarmed civilians off the coast of Venezuela.We ask:  If the federal and state governments have proscriptions against murder, why are they in the business of killing?The fed­er­al death penal­ty applies in all 50 states and U.S. ter­ri­to­ries but is used rel­a­tive­ly rarely.We'll examine the hypocritical facts whereby:—  Most MAGA cult-members are “pro-life”, yet at the same time profess to be “pro-death penalty”. How do those opposites align? Are they just okay with being hypocrites? Does this fact bring them closer to their Orange Jesus?—  Pope Leo XIV says those two ideological positions can't align and they never will.  Pope Leo XIV has stated that, according to Catholic teaching, being against abortion but in favor of the death penalty is not "genuinely pro-life". Church teaching opposes capital punishment as "inadmissible" under all circumstances.Tune in specifically to hear Pope Leo's specific thoughts.We also want to know what YOU think:—  Is the death penalty unfair, especially the way it is applied?—  Are lethal injections saved for the poor?  (As a means of controlling the excess population) that AREN'T in the Epstein Class?—  Is there a racial bias that permeates the entire criminal justice system?—  Is capital punishment an effective deterrent or just an irreversible means of retribution?A firing squad is exceptionally gruesome.Adoption of such a heinous execution practice, however, should surprise no one. This country, from its inception, has had a perverted affination with violence and brutality.On the state level, in South Carolina, the first state to secede from the Union on December 20th, 1860 — the method in the Palmetto state involves three corrections employees firing live rounds from 15 feet away at the condemned inmate, who is in a chair with a target over their heart.As a society, do we really need this?As a case study we look at the execution of Brad Sigmon, who was sentenced to death for the April 2001 murders of Gladys and William David Larke, the parents of his ex-girlfriend, in Greenville, SC.Explore more details on the process, here: How does the firing squad work in South Carolina?On April 24th, 2026, this administration released its official report entitled: Restoring and Strengthening the Federal Death Penalty.  They maintain that “capital punishment is an essential tool for deterring and punishing those who would commit the most heinous crimes and acts of lethal violence against American citizens.”The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) strongly opposes the use of firing squads, viewing them as a "barbaric" and "inhumane" method of execution.

2026-05-09 | UPDATES #197 | THE UNIT-COST ATTACK ON THE WESTERN DEFENCE BUSINESS MODELNow to why Papperger's hostility, beyond personal arrogance, has a structural source.Ukraine's drone revolution is not just changing how wars are fought. It is changing the unit economics of war itself — and those unit economics are an existential threat to the legacy defence-prime business model.The numbers are now well documented across CEPA, NATO assessments, Reuters, Business Insider, and the propelrc.com 2026 military drone cost study:- A basic Ukrainian FPV kamikaze drone: $400 to $800. Built from commercial components — many of them sourced from China through grey-market channels — assembled by soldiers, volunteers, or small companies.- A Lockheed Martin Hellfire missile: approximately $150,000 per round.- A US Patriot interceptor missile: approximately $4 million per round.- A Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter: approximately $80 million per airframe.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

2026-05-07 | UPDATES #196 | The fall of an empire – the humbling of the Russian bear and elimination of its vast stock of Soviet weapons, and Soviet-minded population of Putin's Russian Federation. A victory made by housewives: how a German CEO insulted the drone revolution he cannot compete with. Today's episode is a breakdown of why Ukraine's mil-tech threatens every defence prime in NATO and the U.S. with a new paradigm of how to fight wars, and how to supply them. Last Friday, the Atlantic magazine published an interview with one of Europe's most powerful defence executives. The man is Armin Papperger, Chief Executive Officer of Rheinmetall AG — Germany's largest arms manufacturer, market capitalisation north of fifty billion euros, supplier of tanks, 155mm artillery shells, and air defence systems to NATO and to Ukraine itself. The Atlantic's journalist Simon Schuster asked Papperger about Ukraine's domestically-produced drones — the cheap, mass-manufactured, daily-iterated weapons that have, by independent count, destroyed roughly two-thirds of Russia's tank fleet and account for 80 percent of all combat casualties on both sides of this war.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

The State of Tennessee held its third execution since the three-year moratorium investigating the process of lethal injections. Lawyers and advocates are demanding greater transparency about the drugs used and their expiration dates. Harold Wayne Nichols was executed December 11th. Nichols' lawyer, Stephen Ferrell of Federal Defender Services of Eastern Tennessee fought in court to obtain information about expiration dates of drugs used during lethal injection. This would give his client crucial guidance when choosing which method of execution to select. Lethal injection was chosen for Nichols. Given the prison system's history of non-compliance, Ferrell remained skeptical about the efficacy of the drugs use. "They say they are not expired, but don't want to give us a picture of the label with just the expiration date. The judge said that they could remove or cover up, redact all other information." Reverend Stacy Rector, Executive Director of Tennesseans for Alternatives to Death Penalty agrees, "If you read the law, the legislation passed several years ago, this Confidentiality Law that says that the public is not able to know where the drugs are procured or the names of the individuals participating in the executions. That's it. There is no more protected information. Never has been." Newschannel 5+ can be seen of Comcast/Xfinity Ch. 250, Spectrum/Charter Ch. 182 and over the air on Ch. 5.2.

We talk about recent movies and the amazing open world of Crimson Desert

What happens when you build an action movie from the discipline, pain tolerance, and physical language of ballet? For Director Vicky Jewson, the answer became Pretty Lethal — a film where movement isn't just style, it's story. This week on Below the Line, Skid is joined by Vicky Jewson and co-host Katie Carroll to go behind the camera on Pretty Lethal, the action thriller now streaming on Prime Video. From the outset, Vicky approached the project with a clear mandate: ballet wouldn't be window dressing — it would drive everything. That meant immersing herself in the world of professional dance, collaborating with prima ballerinas, and building an entirely new movement language that blends choreography and combat into what the team ultimately dubbed “Ballet-Fu.” The conversation explores how that idea shaped every stage of production: Why the film was designed “ballet first, fight second,” and how that philosophy led to the creation of a new stunt vocabulary Building a hybrid team of dancers and stunt performers — and how seven weeks of prep transformed ballerinas into action-ready doubles The logistics behind intensive rehearsal, previs, and on-location blocking — including shooting complex sequences with an editor assembling scenes in real time Designing action set pieces as evolving story beats, allowing the audience to discover Ballet-Fu alongside the characters The decision to embrace the visual symbolism of tutus — not as spectacle, but as a statement about strength, femininity, and perception Creating a collaborative, high-trust environment on set, where tone, culture, and preparation all contribute to performance Along the way, Vicky discusses the realities of getting a film like this made — from years of development and packaging to finding the right partners and building a team that could execute at scale. She also reflects on working with Uma Thurman, whose performance balances heightened, almost mythic energy with emotional grounding. What emerges is a conversation about preparation, collaboration, and intention — and how a clear creative idea, carried all the way through production, can define the identity of a film.
