The HITO boys are back to talk about Lindsey Graham's insane statements on Fox News, mines in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's attacks on oil tankers and infrastructure, Oil market volatility and what it means for gas prices, and what OUR democrats are doing about it all (nothing). Senate Democrats got together to write a strongly worded letter about our bombing of an Iranian girls' school. But we have to wonder, does a strongly worded letter mean anything when centrists are considering further funding the war? 18 of OUR Democrats voted to confirm yet another Trump pick, this time for NSA director.

My guest today is Mike Masnick, the founder and CEO of Techdirt, the excellent and long-running tech policy blog. Mike has been writing about government overreach, privacy in the digital age, and other related topics for decades now, and he's an expert on how the internet and the surveillance state have grown in interconnected ways over the past two decades. I wanted to have Mike on the show to discuss the messy, fast-moving situation at Anthropic, the maker of Claude that now finds itself in a very ugly legal battle with the Pentagon. Instead of covering the daily drama, I wanted to dig in specifically on Anthropic's surveillance red line, and the important history and context around digital privacy in the U.S. that shapes how we should think about this going forward.

“This movie feels like a ChatGPT movie if there's ever been one.” This week on Myopia Movies, the gang continues its tour through the worst films of the previous year with 2025's War of the Worlds—a baffling, screen-filled sci-fi mess that somehow turns an NSA analyst played by Ice Cube into humanity's last hope. The panel digs into the movie's strange obsession with surveillance tech, brand-name software, and product placement, while trying to figure out whether the film is pro–surveillance state, anti–surveillance state, or just deeply confused. Along the way, they riff on everything from alien data harvesting and Amazon drones to bad military logic, real-time apocalypse plotting, and a family drama that feels far more creepy than heartfelt. The result is less War of the Worlds and more War of the Windows Tabs. Want to pick a movie we do an episode on and record a special commentary just for you?

Anthropic's $50 billion commitment for data-center construction projects in New York and Texas still made it on a list of investments the Trump White House said it helped secure, despite an ongoing feud between the company and the U.S. government. That tally, which was posted in a release online Sunday and emailed Monday, listed Anthropic's commitment among dozens of other private-sector investments related to American manufacturing, energy, and AI infrastructure projects that companies have announced during President Donald Trump's second term. Other investments on that list include those from Apple, Meta, Nvidia and Amazon. Anthropic's inclusion comes after a disagreement between the AI company and the Pentagon over guardrails for using its technology culminated in a governmentwide ban against the company and the DOD's determination that it's a “supply-chain risk.” Ironically, the White House release introduces the list with a statement that companies are moving to “strengthen domestic supply chains,” among other things. FedScoop contacted spokespeople at the White House and Anthropic, but neither provided comment before publication of this story. Anthropic's partner on the project, Fluidstack, didn't respond to a FedScoop request for comment. The Senate on Tuesday voted to confirm Army Lt. Gen. Joshua Rudd as commander of U.S. Cyber Command and director of the NSA, ending nearly a year of leadership uncertainty at the agencies and putting a new chief at the helm amid an ongoing war with Iran. Rudd, who previously served as deputy commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command and worked in the special operations community, was nominated in December by President Donald Trump for the dual-hat role of Cybercom and NSA boss, despite having a limited cyber background. In April 2025, the Trump administration fired Air Force Gen. Timothy Haugh as head of those organizations without providing a public explanation. Since then, Cybercom and NSA have been led by Army Lt. Gen. William Hartman, who stepped in as acting director. Hartman was ultimately passed over to hold the roles on a Senate-confirmed basis. Rudd, who will pin on his fourth star following his confirmation, is entering the job as Cybercom supports U.S. military action against Iran during Operation Epic Fury. The command also played a support role in Operation Midnight Hammer against Iran last year and Operation Absolute Resolve in Venezuela in January, which included the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro in Caracas. In addition to assisting other combatant commands and the joint force, the organization is tasked with conducting so-called “hunt forward” operations on overseas networks, defending the Department of Defense Information Network (DODIN), and bolstering America's ability to resist and respond to cyberattacks.

In this episode, I am pulling back the curtain on America's cybersecurity strategies. Too often, these strategies are just warm words that never translate into real action. I'm here to reveal why our current cyber policies are more talk than walk, and what needs to change before the next big breach hits. Whether you're a small business owner, government professional, or cybersecurity enthusiast, you'll want to hear the behind-the-scenes truth about why our lofty plans often fall flat in execution—and exactly what it takes to finally bring these policies to life.Join me as I dive into President Trump's recent cybersecurity strategy and expose the gaps between lofty goals and real-world results. You'll discover why repeated national frameworks like Zero Trust and post-quantum cryptography are just bureaucratic RSVPs if they lack enforcement. I'll break down the complex web of federal agencies—like CISA, NSA, and the National Cyber Director—and explain why fragmentation and legal limitations prevent any one agency from truly commanding the nation's cyber defense. Spoiler: there's no centralized authority, no unified command, and no teeth to enforce policies at scale.I'll also break down the six key pillars of America's cyber strategy—shaping adversary behavior, streamlining regulation, modernizing federal networks, securing critical infrastructure, protecting innovation, and building talent—and reveal why, despite their good intentions, most are recycled talking points lacking real follow-through. You'll learn why current federal initiatives are already years behind schedule, and what it really takes to turn strategy into execution—not just more memos, but actual authority, funding, and accountability.This episode underscores a harsh truth: without clear leadership, enforceable standards, and consequences for inaction, America's cyber defenses remain a patchwork of good ideas but poor results. If you're tired of empty policy paper promises and want to understand what must happen for real progress, this is essential listening. Navigate the truth behind the headlines with me and learn how we can finally move from planning to protection—before the next cyber crisis hits.Why listen? Because cybersecurity isn't just a tech issue—it's a national security challenge that depends on authority, accountability, and action. Whether you're a business owner or a policy wonk, get the inside scoop on why much of what's been promised is just talk, and what it really takes to secure the digital frontier.
The Senate confirms a new CyberCom and NSA chief, the US will establish an inter-agency cyber unit, the UK's Online Crime Centre will launch in April, and the Coruna iOS hacking kit was the work of L3Harris. Show notes Risky Bulletin: Gen. Joshua Rudd confirmed as next CyberCom and NSA head

Today's guest has spent thirty years on the front lines of one of the defining battles at the intersection of technology and democracy: privacy and the fight for who controls your digital life. Cindy Cohn is the executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), and she has been in the room for some of the most consequential fights over digital rights since the internet became part of everyday life—from fighting for encryption in the 90s, to the NSA mass surveillance revelations, to battling FBI gag orders that kept Americans in the dark about government data requests, and now for the fight against the grave civil rights and privacy abuses of the Trump administration.Now, as she's preparing to step down from her role at EFF, she's telling her story, and trying to recruit a new generation to the fight. Her new book, Privacy's Defender, out March 10 from MIT Press, weaves her personal journey with the legal battles she's fought on behalf of whistleblowers, researchers, innovators, and everyday people.
In this riveting episode of Stories of Sacrifice: The Baron 52 MIA Mystery, titled “The Baron 52 Enigma: Captured in Laos – Signals of Survival But Buried by Bureaucracy,” we unravel the haunting 1973 shootdown of a U.S. Air Force EC-47Q spy plane over Laos, just days after the Paris Peace Accords promised an end to the Vietnam War. Through a chronological deep dive, hosts explore the mission's fateful night, the crash's immediate aftermath—including SAR efforts observing only partial remains—and the rapid KIA designation that left families reeling. We spotlight the families 50-year emotional battle for truth, from congressional advocacy with Sen. Bob Smith to frustrations with bureaucratic stonewalling.At the heart of the episode is lead researcher John Bear's groundbreaking work: decoding declassified NSA intercepts (REFNO 1983) hinting at the capture of four “pirates,” bolstered by NSA correlation studies tying them directly to Baron 52. Bear breaks down the Vinh Window SIGINT program, explaining how PAVN relays from southern Laos funneled signals to Vinh hubs for RC-135 interception—aligning with the 5.5-hour post-crash timeline. We map the PAVN order of battle, from Group 210 (210th AAA Regiment) and the 377th Air Defense Division to the 471st Division and Binh Tram 35 HQ at Tang Cat (Km 48), pinpointing its proximity to the crash site and Km 44 in the intercepts, raising survival odds to very high.The episode pulls no punches on dismissals: critiquing DIA analyst Robert Destatte's linguistic ambiguities, DPAA contractor Guy Bentz's 2016 review flaws (e.g., incorrect AOR, ignored correlations and forensics like buried revolvers implying egress), and DPAA's resource excuses. Insights from interviews with Dr. Roger Shields, Sen. Bob Smith, and Lt. Col. Lionel Blau, plus recent media coverage, reveal systemic failures. We conclude with calls for renewed probes, VNOSMP veteran interviews, and honoring the unfulfilled 1996 Wold pledge—because the truth can't stay buried forever.
The Oddjob crew have emerged from the Action Movie Landfill clutching another nineties classic. Enemy of the State (98) is Washington DC political thriller about a rogue cell within the NSA who are on the hunt for a lawyer who has accidentally come into possession of a tape that incriminates a senior NSA figure (Jon Voight) in the murder of a senator. The film's principle theme is about the politics of surveillance and the limits of personal freedom in a democratic. The film co-stars Gene Hackman who also starred in a similarly themed film called The Conversation (1974) and there ate direct call-back to this film in Enemy of the State. The film also boasts one of the greatest cameo appearances in the history of cinema. Download the podcast here or listen on the player below.

OpenAI's Pentagon Backlash, Microsoft's "MicroSlop" Filter, Apple M5 MacBook Pro Price Hikes, and Washington's Microchip Ban Jim Love covers backlash to OpenAI's rapid Pentagon deal announcement, with Sam Altman admitting it looked opportunistic as ChatGPT uninstall rates and one-star reviews spiked while Anthropic's Claude gained installs; OpenAI then revised contract language to state its AI won't intentionally be used for mass domestic surveillance or by agencies like the NSA without separate approval. He also discusses reports that Microsoft's Copilot Discord filtered the term "MicroSlop," prompting user workarounds and a server lockdown that Microsoft said was an anti-spam measure. Apple's new M5 MacBook Pro lineup adds higher default storage, claims faster internal storage and ~20% GPU gains, but raises prices and introduces a pricier Studio Display XDR with optional nano-texture. Finally, Washington State proposes banning mandatory employee microchip implants amid broader workplace surveillance concerns. 00:00 Sponsor Message Meter 00:19 OpenAI Pentagon Backlash 03:08 Microsoft MicroSlop Filter 05:33 Apple M5 MacBook Prices 07:10 Host Rant On Hype 07:34 Washington Microchip Ban 09:29 Wrap Up And Sponsor
The US government asked Anthropic — the company behind Claude, one of the most capable AI coding systems on the market — to help build autonomous weapons and a mass surveillance infrastructure. Anthropic said no. That refusal, which happened the same week the US launched strikes on Iran, is either the most principled corporate decision in recent AI history or the beginning of a very ugly fight over who controls the most powerful tools ever built. Jeremy and Jason break down what the government actually asked for, why Anthropic refused, what Open AI and Elon Musk did instead, and what it means for all of us when the people writing the guardrails are the same people being pressured to remove them.Topics Discussed:Why autonomous AI weapons systems default to nuclear launch in virtually every war game simulationWhat Anthropic's Claude can actually do — and why the US government wants it so badlyHow AI turns existing NSA surveillance infrastructure into something exponentially more dangerousWhy Open AI and Elon Musk said yes to the same deal Anthropic refusedWhy the people most confident they're using AI as a tool might be the ones AI ends up usingChapters0:00 — When AI Meets War: What We're Actually Talking About1:15 — What Claude Can Really Do (And Why the Government Wants It)4:18 — The Autonomous Cyber Weapon Problem5:28 — Why Anthropic Said No to the Money6:26 — Mass Surveillance, AI, and What's Already Running9:45 — When War Games Go Nuclear: The 95% Problem13:01 — AGI Is Already Here.

En 1968, alguien dentro de la agencia más secreta de Estados Unidos —la NSA— redactó un informe con un título que no invitaba precisamente a dormir tranquilo: Hipótesis OVNI y preguntas sobre la supervivencia. Un borrador garabateado a mano, sin autor conocido, sin versión definitiva localizada, que planteaba cinco hipótesis sobre los OVNIs y que, página a página, iba descartando las explicaciones más cómodas hasta llegar a la más incómoda de todas: la inteligencia extraterrestre. Lo definían como "un problema" —no una teoría, no una curiosidad— y advertían de que un eventual contacto podría ser desastroso para nuestra especie, incluso sin hostilidad por parte del visitante. Medio siglo después, los informes oficiales de inteligencia de EE.UU. siguen planteando prácticamente las mismas preguntas. ¿Hemos avanzado algo? Eso, precisamente, es lo más extraño de todo.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA MENORES 2026“HEROES Y VILLANOS”Narrado por: Tatania DanielaDesde: Juliaca, PerúUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church25 de Febrero¿Héroe o villano? - Tercera parte«La violencia entorpece al sabio, y el soborno corrompe su carácter» (Eclesiastés 7: 7).En el mundo de la información y de la transparencia, hay figuras que desafían los límites y se convierten en voces valientes en la lucha por la verdad. Uno de estos personajes es Julian Assange, un jáquer y activista australiano que fundó WikiLeaks, un sitio web dedicado a la publicación de documentos filtrados de interés público. Con su valentía y determinación, Assange se convirtió en un símbolo de la libertad de expresión y de la rendición de cuentas de los gobiernos y las instituciones poderosas.Julian Assange saltó a la fama por su papel en la difusión de información confidencial que revelaba abusos de poder, corrupción y violaciones de derechos humanos en todo el mundo. Uno de los momentos más impactantes fue la publicación de documentos clasificados sobre las guerras en Irak y Afganistán y cables diplomáticos de Estados Unidos, los que expusieron crímenes de guerra y violaciones de derechos humanos cometidos por las fuerzas militares.Pero la historia de Assange no es solo la de un hombre enfrentándose a los molinos de viento del poder. También es la historia de un individuo que pagó un alto precio por su lucha. Perseguido por los gobiernos y acusado de espionaje y otros delitos, Assange pasó años viviendo en la clandestinidad y refugiado en la embajada de Ecuador en Londres.Edward Snowden y Julian Assange tienen algo en común: para algunos son héroes, mientras que para otros son villanos. Assange desafió a los poderosos y luchó por la verdad y la transparencia, enfrentando persecuciones y amenazas para proteger el derecho del público a conocer la información que afecta sus vidas. ¿Es esto digno de calificar de heroísmo? Ciertamente, lo es. Pero eso no es todo.Snowden, cuando trabajaba como contratista para la NSA de Estados Unidos, había firmado acuerdos de confidencialidad y había jurado proteger la información clasificada a la que tenía acceso en el desempeño de su trabajo. Al filtrar información clasificada a los medios de comunicación, Snowden violó estos compromisos de privacidad y seguridad. Además, las filtraciones de Assange han sido consideradas por muchos como una violación de la privacidad y de la seguridad nacional, ya que han expuesto información sensible que podría comprometer la seguridad de individuos y naciones.¿Cuál actividad es más grave: asesinatos extrajudiciales, tortura rutinaria de prisioneros y vigilancia y espionaje masivos o exponer esas acciones, publicando detalles filtrados ilegalmente de cómo, dónde, cuándo y por quién fueron cometidos? ¿No necesitamos al Espíritu Santo para decidir qué hacer?
====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA MENORES 2026“HEROES Y VILLANOS”Narrado por: Tatania DanielaDesde: Juliaca, PerúUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church24 de Febrero¿Héroe o villano? Segunda parte«Esto ha dicho el Señor: "A los pobres y débiles se les oprime y se les hace sufrir. Por eso voy ahora a levantarme, y les daré la ayuda que tanto anhelan"» (Salmos 12:5).En estos días, mientras escribo estas líneas, el nombre de Edward Snowden resuena en los noticieros. ¿Quién era este hombre? No era un superhéroe con capa ni un genio multimillonario, pero sus acciones sacudieron al mundo entero.Cuando tenía 29 años, Edward Snowden era un joven empleado de la Agencia de Seguridad Nacional de Estados Unidos (NSA, por sus siglas en inglés). Fue un analista de sistemas que se convirtió en un símbolo de valentía y sacrificio. Su contribución más notable fue la revelación de programas secretos de vigilancia masiva y espionaje llevados a cabo por el gobierno estadounidense que violaban la privacidad de millones de personas en todo el mundo.Desde su posición privilegiada dentro de la NSA, Snowden descubrió la verdad oculta tras los velos de la seguridad nacional. En lugar de quedarse callado, decidió alzar la voz en nombre de la privacidad y de la libertad individual. Su decisión de filtrar información clasificada a los medios de comunicación fue un acto de desafío contra un sistema que consideraba corrupto y opresivo, sistema que lo califica ahora como traidor.Snowden difundió la información filtrando documentos clasificados a periodistas de renombre como Glenn Greenwald y Laura Poitras, quienes colaboraron en la publicación de las revelaciones en medios de comunicación como The Guardian, The Washington Post y Der Spiegel. A través de estas filtraciones, Snowden expuso al mundo la magnitud de la vigilancia masiva y la falta de transparencia de los gobiernos en materia de privacidad y derechos civiles.Snowden se convirtió en un fugitivo internacional desde 2013, buscado por las autoridades de su propio país. Pero su historia no es solo la de un hombre en fuga; es la historia de un individuo dispuesto a sacrificar todo por lo que cree justo y verdadero. Ese compromiso con la ética y su valentía y determinación nos recuerdan a la historia de Moisés, quien desafió al faraón egipcio y lideró a su pueblo hacia la libertad. Para algunos, Snowden es un héroe que enfrentó la adversidad y la persecución para liberar a otros.El legado de Edward Snowden nos recuerda que un solo individuo puede marcar la diferencia, incluso cuando enfrenta enormes desafíos. Hay ocasiones en las que no podemos quedar callados. Que Dios nos dé sabiduría para saber cuándo levantar la voz, cuándo desafiar el statu quo y luchar por un mundo donde la verdad y la libertad sean derechos inalienables para todos.
In this edition of Between Two Nerds Tom Uren and The Grugq talk about how ‘professional' Five Eyes cyber espionage agencies like NSA will use AI. These agencies place a premium on stealth and won't yolo AI. This episode is available on Youtube. Show notes How AI-powered espionage will favour China Google's AI threat tracker, February 2026
Former military intelligence officer and Stargate program veteran Dr. Paul H. Smith reveals the CIA's classified history of psychic spying and explains how the military weaponized human consciousness to remote view targets across time and space in episode 237 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.Dr. Paul H. Smith is a retired Major who served 20 years in the U.S. military, serving as a tactical intelligence officer with the 101st Airborne Division during Desert Shield and Desert Storm, and as a strategic intelligence officer for the Defense Intelligence Agency. For seven years, he was a primary member of the government's secret remote viewing program at Fort Meade, where he served as an operational remote viewer, instructor, and unit historian. After retiring in 1996, he earned a PhD from the University of Texas at Austin in the philosophy of mind to further explore the hard problem of consciousness and its implications for non-physical realities.In this conversation, Faust and Dr. Paul H. Smith explore the high-stakes world of Project 8200 and the administrative skepticism that led to the program's official closure in 1995. They discuss the democratic nature of ESP, debunking the myth that one must have a special gift to be successful. By examining the redacted files of SRI International and the military classification of anomaly targets, they reveal a legacy of psychic intelligence that remains one of the government's most controversial paranormal secrets.In this episode: - The Stargate Origins: How a rumor about a psychic on the Nautilus submarine sparked a psychotronics arms race with the Soviet Union. - The Cooked CIA Report: Why the 1995 analysis used to justify closing Stargate only examined 40 out of 3,000 operational sessions. - Post-Stargate Secrets: Compelling evidence from whistleblowers that remote viewing programs may still exist within the NSA or other hidden government tiers. - Stanford Research Institute: The startling SRI discovery that remote viewing is an inborn human skill rather than a rare gift. - The Legend of Pat Price: A look at the most significant figure in remote viewing history and the suspicious circumstances surrounding his death. - Project 8200: The classified exploration of alleged UFO bases and encounters with non-human intelligence. - The Mars Sessions: A deep dive into the famous remote viewing experiences involving the Red Planet. - The Heaven's Gate Impact: How sensational claims and tragedies have historically damaged the public perception of serious consciousness research. - Administrative Cynicism: Why the CIA's decision to end Stargate was more about seizing personnel slots than actual program failure. - The Hard Problem: Why physicalist science struggles to explain a consciousness that isn't limited by the physical brain.This isn't just a discussion about spies and psychics. It is a radical look at military intelligence that proves our highest level defense agencies spent decades using consciousness as a legitimate weapon to pierce the boundaries of time and space.Check Out Dr. Paul H.

In this episode of Practical Cybersecurity, host Jen Stone talks with Curt Dukes, EVP and GM of Security Best Practices at the Center for Internet Security (CIS). Drawing on his 30-year career at the NSA, Dukes breaks down how small and medium businesses (SMBs) can implement "good enough" security without unlimited resources. The conversation focuses on Implementation Group 1 (IG1)—a prioritized set of safeguards that provide essential "cyber hygiene". Dukes introduces free resources like the CSAT (Controls Self-Assessment Tool) and CIS Workbench to help leaders move past the intimidation of technical jargon and establish a "standard of reasonableness" for their organization's defense.CIS ResourcesCIS (Center for Internet Security): The nonprofit organization that creates the global standards discussed in this episode.NSA (National Security Agency): The U.S. intelligence agency where Curt Dukes led defensive security efforts for 30+ years.IG1 (Implementation Group 1): The essential "Cyber Hygiene" tier of the CIS Controls designed for small businesses.CSAT (Controls Self-Assessment Tool): A free web-based application to track and measure your security progress.CIS Workbench: A collaborative platform to ask technical questions and get help from the security community.CIS RAM (Risk Assessment Method): A free methodology to identify security gaps and prioritize investments based on risk.CIS Benchmarks: Free, consensus-based configuration recommendations for OS and network devices.MS-ISAC (Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center): The division of CIS providing threat intelligence for state and local governments.EI-ISAC (Elections Infrastructure ISAC): A dedicated team at CIS focused on securing election-related systems.The Community Defense Model (CDM): A data-driven report proving the effectiveness of the Controls against top cyber attacks.The Cost of Cyber Defense: A breakdown of the financial investment needed for various security models.Request a Quote for a PCI Audit ► https://www.securitymetrics.com/pci-audit Request a Quote for a Penetration Test ► https://www.securitymetrics.com/penetration-testing Get the Guide to PCI DSS compliance ► https://www.securitymetrics.com/lp/pci/pci-guide Get FREE security and compliance training ► https://academy.securitymetrics.com/ Get in touch with SecurityMetrics' Sales Team ► https://www.securitymetrics.com/contact/lets-get-you-to-the-right-place
Here's what you missed at last week's Gaslit Nation Salon. The full recording is available on Patreon.com/Gaslit. Gaslit Nation warned you in 2019 that Tulsi Gabbard was a Russian disinformation weapon, and now she is the Director of National Intelligence. The gatekeeper of American secrets is currently abusing her power to illegally intervene in our domestic elections, as seen in the recent federal raid on a Georgia election office. Trump's raid in Georgia, overseen by Gabbard and Kash Patel's FBI, goes beyond his Big Lie litigating the 2020 election. They're laying the groundwork to justify "security measures" to make it easier for GOP ratf*cking and voter suppression to steal our elections. Meanwhile, a whistleblower complaint reveals that Gabbard buried NSA intelligence regarding two foreign operatives discussing a compromised person in Trump's inner circle. Given the corruption spree in Trump's own inner circle, there's a long list of who this could be! As the reporting has confirmed, Gabbard is leading a cover-up. As predicted in last week's salon, it was Kushner who is at the center of an NSA intelligence report on two foreign operatives discussing someone close to Trump -- a report that Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, hid to protect the Trump family's corruption crime spree. A New York Times gift article is available here. Tulsi Gabbard is a national security threat. We must demand that our Secretaries of State protect our ballots from this administration's interference. Agonize then organize and socialize. The news cycle is designed to exhaust you, but you don't have to face the autocracy alone. We built a resilience community for truth-tellers, and we want you in it. Join us today at 4pm ET for our Gaslit Nation Salon, a space to strategize, vent, and connect with a community of listeners just as horrified as you.

Today's Headlines: Early voting is officially underway for North Carolina's March 3 Senate primary — your reminder that primary season is here and checking your state's election dates is now mandatory civic behavior. The timing matters, because Washington is doing the most: the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is likely to shut down after Senate Democrats blocked a funding bill that didn't include limits on ICE practices. If it happens, the shutdown would also hit the TSA, FEMA, and the United States Coast Guard — just as Congress leaves town for a Presidents' Day recess. Meanwhile, border czar Tom Homan claims ICE is ending deployments to Minnesota, though reporting suggests those deployments may not have actually ended — or possibly started. At the same time, Customs and Border Protection is moving ahead with a $225,000 contract for Clearview AI, a facial recognition tool built on billions of scraped images, now approved for “tactical targeting” and network analysis. That mysterious whistleblower complaint involving Tulsi Gabbard also landed exactly where everyone expected: it centered on her burying an NSA report about a Trump associate's call with a foreign intelligence agency. Just as we guessed…last week, that associate was Jared Kushner, and the call reportedly involved Iran. Benjamin Netanyahu met with Donald Trump at the White House, after which Trump publicly scolded Isaac Herzog for not pardoning Netanyahu over corruption charges — while brushing off questions about responsibility for October 7. Elsewhere, X, owned by Elon Musk, is under scrutiny after reports it sold premium accounts to Iranian regime officials despite U.S. sanctions. And finally, Gallup announced its ending monthly presidential approval ratings after nearly 90 years. The last one, taken in December, clocked in at 36%.

Buying a Bride: An Engaging History of Mail-Order Matches / L.A. Secret Police. Inside the LAPD Elite Spy NetworkThere have always been mail-order brides in America—but we haven't always thought about them in the same ways. In Buying a Bride, Marcia A. Zug starts with the so-called “Tobacco Wives” of the Jamestown colony and moves all the way forward to today's modern same-sex mail-order grooms to explore the advantages and disadvantages of mail-order marriage. It's a history of deception, physical abuse, and failed unions. It's also the story of how mail-order marriage can offer women surprising and empowering opportunities.Drawing on a forgotten trove of colorful mail-order marriage court cases, Zug explores the many troubling legal issues that arise in mail-order marriage: domestic abuse and murder, breach of contract, fraud (especially relating to immigration), and human trafficking and prostitution. She tells the story of how mail-order marriage lost the benign reputation it enjoyed in the Civil War era to become more and more reviled over time, and she argues compellingly that it does not entirely deserve its current reputation. While it is a common misperception that women turn to mail-order marriage as a desperate last resort, most mail-order brides are enticed rather than coerced. Since the first mail-order brides arrived on American shores in 1619, mail-order marriage has enabled women to improve both their marital prospects and their legal, political, and social freedoms. Buying A Bride uncovers this history and shows us how mail-order marriage empowers women and should be protected and even encouraged. L.A. Secret Police. Inside the LAPD Elite Spy NetworkL.A. Secret Police. Inside the LAPD Elite Spy Network is a New York Times and Los Angeles Times Bestseller. This incredible non-fiction book rips the lid off the LAPD and exposes the reader to its dark underbelly of corruption during the reign of Chief Daryl Gates. L.A. cops ruined lives and reputations, inflicted mindless brutality, committed murder and engaged in massive cover-ups. In Los Angeles, police corruption was much more than unmarked envelopes stuffed with cash. It was a total corruption of power. For decades LAPD engaged in massive illegal spying and lied about it. Its spying targets included politicians, movie stars, professional athletes, news reporters and anyone wielding power or those of interest to Daryl Gates. Incredibly, the spying targets included a Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, a Secretary of Defense, a current Governor and the President of the United States. It all happened in Los Angeles.Detective Rothmiller is the modern-day Frank Serpico; he exposed the tentacles of corruption which reached to the highest levels within the LAPD and Washington D.C. It wasn't long after that an assassin attempted to take his life. It was apparent to many that powerful forces wanted him silenced. Incredibly, in this book Detective Rothmiller names names! See why this book changed the LAPD and is required reading at many universities. As former Assistant United States Attorney Marvin Rudnick said, “Rothmiller was in a position to know. He did very sensitive work.”Every book has an ending. However, the ending of this book will shock you. Within the new epilogue is a multi-page essay written especially for this updated book by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist David Cay Johnston. In it he describes his personal experience as a target of Daryl Gates illegal intelligence operations while he served as a Los Angeles Times reporter. You'll also read the challenge posed by detective Rothmiller to the LAPD. A challenge LAPD has refused to answer.Since releasing this updated eBook, Detective Rothmiller has been interviewed dozens of times by the national media regarding current NSA domestic spying and the 2013 murderous rampage of former LAPD cop Christopher Dorner. In late 2013 Detective Rothmiller was interviewed for a major television documentary which will expose corruption and major crimes committed at the highest levels. The documentary is scheduled for release in 2016.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan warns listeners to brace for market volatility as a wave of economic data and algorithm-driven trading threatens Wall Street, even as the underlying Trump economy remains relatively strong. He then exposes massive fraud inside Washington's $30 billion welfare system, explains a major court ruling that could finally end "catch and release" by allowing the detention of illegal migrants without bond, and breaks down why Democrats are quietly backing away from ICE body cameras amid fears the footage would expose activist violence. The episode turns global with explosive allegations of Deep State manipulation inside U.S. intelligence involving Tulsi Gabbard, violent left-wing attacks tied to the Olympic Games in Italy, and growing signs of national decline in the West as pride in the country collapses among younger generations. Bryan closes with unsettling political developments in the United Kingdom, a pivotal election in Japan that could ripple into U.S. markets, and promising medical research pointing to new treatments for brain health, mental illness, and epilepsy.

Today's Headlines: This weekend was a lot. The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl, the Winter Olympics kicked off in Milan, and Vice President JD Vance managed to make himself the main character by getting booed at the opening ceremony and delaying U.S. figure skater Alysa Liu with his massive motorcade — after reportedly flying a plane full of food to Italy, of all places. Embarrassing, but not even close to the most serious news. The FBI has invited election officials from all 50 states to an unusual “election briefing” later this month, amid growing concerns about Trump's repeated calls to nationalize elections. At the same time, DHS has reportedly used administrative subpoenas to try to obtain user data on critics of the Trump administration, including people sharing information about ICE activity or emailing officials to oppose deportations. The Tulsi Gabbard saga also deepened, with new reporting revealing that she allegedly blocked the NSA from circulating a report about a suspicious phone call involving someone tied to foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump — a move that ultimately triggered the whistleblower complaint now under scrutiny. Meanwhile, fallout from the Epstein files continued, with multiple high-profile figures in the U.S. and Europe facing investigations, resignations, or calls to step aside. European governments in particular have moved quickly, launching probes into Epstein's ties to human trafficking, Russian intelligence, and elite institutions — while U.S. consequences remain scarce. Elsewhere, China announced a renewed crackdown on crypto trading loopholes, reports emerged that U.S. service members were pressured to attend screenings of a Melania Trump documentary, the Trump administration allegedly threatened to freeze $16 billion in infrastructure funding unless major transit hubs were renamed after the president, and New York City lawmakers overrode a veto to strengthen labor protections for Uber and Lyft drivers.

The guy behind the hacking of the CIA and the release of the vast digital treasure trove of information known as Vault 7 to Wikileaks was sentenced to 40 years in Federal prison for leaking the 8,761 documents exposing the CIA's covert digital spying network.Nobody is really surprised to discover that the Central Intelligence Agency is spying on the people of America, even though its charter strictly forbids it. However, it was telling that they also were spying on the FBI, DHS, and NSA on an operation called “Express Lane”.—Watch the video version on one of the Macroaggressions Channels:Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcast—MACRO & Charlie Robinson LinksHypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwmsThe Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMmWebsite: www.Macroaggressions.io Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast—Activist Post FamilySign up for the Activist Post Newsletter: https://activistpost.kit.com/emailsActivist Post: www.ActivistPost.com Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com —Support Our SponsorsAnarchapulco: https://anarchapulco.com/ | Promo Code: MACROC60 Power: https://go.shopc60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body: https://chemicalfreebody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://macroaggressions.gold/ | (800) 426-1836LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.com EMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACROGround Luxe Grounding Mats: https://groundluxe.com/MACRO Christian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macro Above Phone: https://abovephone.com/macro/Van Man: https://vanman.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACROThe Dollar Vigilante: https://dollarvigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471 Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms: https://augasonfarms.com/MACRO —
