Dr. David Murphy joins me to talk about some of the many details of Operation Dragoon, the invasion of Southern France following the invasion of Normandy.

This week, Justin sits down with author, professor, historian and former intelligence analyst for the state department and the CIA, Dr. Mark Stout.  Today, Mark shares his research on a mysterious early US intelligence entity known as the Pond. The Pond was a secret organization operating between 1942 and 1955, though its existence wasn't formally acknowledged by the US government until 2001. Headed by John V. Grombach, the Pond's unique espionage style was markedly different from the OSS and the CIA, though the quality of its intel has been brought to question. In the end, Grombach was his own worst enemy as his stark world view led to personality clashes  with the CIA, ultimately playing a major role in the end of the Pond.Connect with Mark:spymuseum.orgTwitter: @WWIPhDCheck some of Mark's articles on War on the Rocks, here.https://warontherocks.com/author/mark-stout/Connect with Spycraft 101:Check out Justin's latest release, Covert Arms, here.spycraft101.comIG: @spycraft101Shop: spycraft-101.myshopify.comPatreon: Spycraft 101Find Justin's first book, Spyshots: Volume One, here.Download the free eBook, The Clandestine Operative's Sidearm of Choice, here.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/spycraft101)

Hang on, did you just say what I think you said, she was the central researcher on the CIA…? Yup. I know, what the hell, right, we've been sitting on this story all this time! Episode 500 is a good time to thank two of the behind-the-scenes unsung technical heroes – Mike and Memphis who have been involved with more SpyCast's than anyone else. They are awesome. They are great guys, and they rock. Other people who have been involved in the content side of SpyCast have included Peter Earnest and Chris Costa, our former and current Exec Director, as well as my other predecessors in the Historian & Curator role: Thomas Bogart, Mark Stout and Vince Houghton.

Good morning lacrosse fans. Thank you for taking time out of your day for the Utah Lax Report. Don't forget to forward to a friend, it's the best way for the newsletter to grow. Be sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Let's get to it.Interview w/ Mark Stoutc/o BYU LacrosseThis week's podcast is an interview with Mark Stout. Stout has been around the game in Utah since 1981, when he arrived at BYU. He was instrumental in the founding of the high school league in 1994. He has coached at every level and is frequently found on the BYU sidelines, where I first met him. I love this picture of him because there are few times you'll find him without a hood on.You can listen to the latest podcast above or on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Don't forget to subscribe and leave a rating! While we were talking about the podcast, Stout sent me this picture:This is from the very first Utah high school lacrosse championship in the fall of 1994 featuring teams from Alta, Park City, Provo (Orem/Timpview), Sunnyside (Brighton/East/Judge/Rowland Hall) and Waterford. Sunnyside beat Waterford to become the first champion. It was taken in Provo and Stout is in the very top right of the picture. Some of the people included in this picture: Brian Blogette, Chris Radar, Dave Allen, Mason Goodhand, Bob Capner, Brad Hawes, Scott Clarke, Clint Fjeldsted, Andy Stockman, Pete Stevenson. This picture represented the entire high school league at the time. It's a testament to the many, many people who have helped grow the game in Utah over the years. If you're stepping on a field this week, it's because of the people in this picture. Sunnyside is the name of the street that Sunnyside Park is located on in Salt Lake City. Many lacrosse games and practices have taken place there since 1994. While looking for pictures of Stout at BYU I found these gems from The Banyan which is the BYU yearbook. While Stout isn't in them, I still feel they are worth sharing. c/o The Banyan, 1982, 19832021 High School Coaches PollThe 2021 High School Coaches Poll is presented by Vessel Kitchen.

January 6, 2021. What to say. Former president George W.

Es entspannt sich eine Diskussion um die Frage, ob diese kritische Infrastruktur womöglich so bedroht gar nicht ist wie bisweilen befürchtet (Entwarnung im Sicherheitspod!? Hat es sowas überhaupt schon mal gegeben?) Im zweiten Teil wenden sich die vier Podcaster dem “Indo-Pazifik” zu. Was ist das überhaupt? Und warum will sich Deutschland dort vermehrt engagieren? Abschließend wie immer der “Sicherheitshinweis”, der kurze Fingerzeig auf aktuelle, sicherheitspolitisch einschlägige Themen und Entwicklungen - diesmal mit Aufruhr in Großbritannien aufgrund von “Lawfare”, australischen Kriegsverbrechen in Afghanistan, dem neuen Atomwaffenverbotsvertrag und einem Verweis auf kommende Entscheidungen in Sache deutsche Verteidigungsausgaben.

In this episode I'm joined by Mark Stout, a former intelligence officer with the CIA and State Department who is now a historian of intelligence and Director of programs in Global Security and Intelligence at Johns Hopkins University. Mark talks about US intelligence in World War I, which he's currently finishing a book about. Our conversation also touches on the beginnings of the security clearance process, domestic surveillance of Prussian/German-American citizens during the war, and early attitudes among US State Department officials that intelligence activity was ungentlemanly and unbecoming of diplomats. Mark's overview of US intelligence in WWI provides an interesting introduction to an understudied subject.

In histories of the Second World War, the Vatican has not fared well. Pope Pius XII has been condemned as "Hitler's Pope" and the Church castigated for not doing enough to avert war and save the victims of the Third Reich. Enter Mark Riebling's new book, Church of Spies: The Pope's Secret War Against Hitler. After years of painstaking research in the Vatican's archives, Riebling has a different and heart-pounding story to tell of the Pope's network of spies that fought to bring about Hitler's downfall. In this podcast, WOTR's Ryan Evans and Mark Stout (himself a veteran of the CIA) sits down with Riebling to chat about this amazing book that combines the rigor of history with the storytelling of a novel.

In 1948, when Whittaker Chambers accused Ivy League-educated senior diplomat Alger Hiss of spying for the Soviets, few Americans were willing to believe him. In fact, Hiss went to his grave protesting his innocence, but now it seems clear that he was guilty, given the evidence available since the end of the Cold War. Retired counterintelligence officer Christina Shelton has written a new biography of Hiss. She highlights the many missed opportunities and poor judgments in the Hiss case, and discusses them in the context of wide-scale Soviet infiltration and espionage. Join Shelton and SPY historian Mark Stout for a discussion of this provocative new book about one of America’s most controversial icons.
