Feds For Freedom Releases Adirim Deposition, Calls for Congressional Subpoena and Full DoW Records > > Read full press release here: https://www.fedsforfreedom.org/adirimTerry Adirim, MD, then acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, signed a memo on Sept. 14, 2021, stating that the Pfizer BioNTech EUA shot was interchangeable with the FDA approved Comirnaty. But they were legally distinct- one carries a right of refusal, the other doesn't.After her time at the DOD and Veterans Affairs, Adirim worked at the CIA and was promptly fired in Spring 2025, once President Trump took office. She turned around and sued Ivan Raiklin for defamation (and CIA Dir. Ratcliffe for firing her, claim now dropped), claiming he was the reason she was fired. Feds For Freedom is supporting the defense in the lawsuit Terry Adirim v CIA et al.Ivan Raiklin, constitutional attorney, and Kevin McAfee, president of Feds For Freedom join us to discuss Adirim's memo and what she revealed in her August 2026 deposition as to how she determined these shots were safe for 2 million servicemembers.

It's not waiting for freedom to be granted to you. It's not asking for rights to be given, it's not even reclaiming your rights- as they're yours and they've been yours along- you just need to never let go of your God-given rights. Owning freedom is taking responsibility for your rights and living them out in all facets of life. On this podcast, we interview people who have taken ownership of their freedoms and as a result have made incredible change, whether it be at the federal, state, local levels, or in the home. It's a way of living. Own Your Freedom. It's that simple.

Chris and Matt open season eleven, and Secrets & Spies' tenth anniversary, with three stories from a busy August. First, CIA Director John Ratcliffe's trip to Moscow, a rare visit by an agency chief since Bill Burns went in 2021, reportedly carrying a blunt warning against testing NATO amid U.S. assessments that a cornered Russia might attempt a limited probe of the alliance. Then, a New Yorker investigation into how Iran now reaches its critics abroad by renting the local underworld — Romanian petty criminals, teenagers recruited over Snapchat — a "cutout of a cutout" model built to defeat the way security services watch known threats. Finally, they discuss a new Foreign Affairs piece that pushes back against transatlantic-alliance fatalism.

In this episode, Jane Ratcliffe explores how to accept what you can't change without giving up. After a traumatic brain injury dramatically altered the course of her life, Jane spent years navigating debilitating symptoms while holding onto an enduring sense of hope, joy, and gratitude. She and Eric explore the complicated balance between accepting reality and continuing to fight for change, why being “okay” can sometimes keep us from asking for the help we need, and how self-forgiveness, imagination, and a deeper sense of interconnectedness can help us live with what we cannot fix. Jane's story offers a moving reminder that acceptance doesn't have to mean surrender—and that even in the midst of difficulty, there can still be room for beauty, connection, and hope.

Key TopicsThe Venezuela oil deal is framed as a huge geopolitical gamble, with claims of 65 billion barrels and a U.S. stake in a private Venezuelan company.Nahal Toosi explains why the deal is surrounded by legal, constitutional, and practical doubts, including questions about infrastructure, financing, and corruption.Alex Ward argues the deal reflects a Trump-era foreign policy that treats oil and regime change as spoils of victory, not just strategic assets.Shashank Joshi notes that Europeans see echoes of earlier resource anxieties, from Greenland to the Falklands, and worry about a broader collapse of principle in U.S. policy.The panel raises the possibility that the Venezuela arrangement could create incentives to delay democratic transition and keep an anti-democratic regime in place.The military segment focuses on the strain caused by extended deployments in the Middle East, especially the impact on munitions stockpiles, carrier availability, and long-term maintenance.Joshi cites the depletion of Patriot interceptors and the ripple effects in Ukraine, where reduced interceptor capacity may be affecting defense against Russian missile attacks.Toosi warns that the U.S. is simultaneously damaging its diplomatic, development, trade, and military advantages, leaving Congress and Pentagon leadership slow to respond.On Russia, Alex Ward says Ratcliffe's Moscow trip appears to be both a warning and a broader attempt to preserve a back-channel with Russian intelligence.Joshi and Toosi discuss Russian hybrid risk, including the concern that Moscow may test NATO without triggering a classic Article 5-style response.LinksNahal Toosi - https://www.politico.com/staff/nahal-toosiAlexander Ward - https://www.wsj.com/news/author/alexander-wardShashank Joshi - https://mediadirectory.economist.com/people/shashank-joshi/Ivo Daalder - https://www.ivodaalder.com/Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs — belfercenter.orgWorld Review with Ivo Daalder — belfercenter.org/world-review-ivo-daalder
Die Bundesregierung hat sich festgelegt: Russland steckt hinter dem Drohnenangriff auf den Flughafen Leipzig/Halle. Ex-Nato-General Erhard Bühler findet die Erklärungen dazu aus Berlin nachvollziehbar. In dieses Urteil sei viel eingeflossen, Indizien vor Ort, die technischen Merkmale der Drohnen, der verwendete Sprengstoff und Geheimdiensterkenntnisse. "Das ganze operative Muster dieses Anschlagsversuchs spricht für die Beteiligung russischer Geheimdienste", so Bühler. Inzwischen hat die Bundesregierung auch Konsequenzen gezogen. Unter anderem soll das Russische Haus in Berlin geschlossen werden. Bühler hält einige der Maßnahmen durchaus für "bemerkenswert". Es sei richtig, dass Deutschland ein Zeichen gegen den von Russland ausgehenden Staatsterror setze.Ein weiteres Thema in dieser Folge des Podcasts "Was tun, Herr General?" ist der Besuch von CIA-Chef John Ratcliffe in Moskau. Worum ging es dabei? Auch darüber sprechen Host Tim Deisinger und Erhard Bühler ausführlich. Bühler sagt, ein Routine-Treffen sei es sicher nicht gewesen, auch wenn US-Präsident Donald Trump es so dargestellt habe.Inhaltsverzeichnis:0:00 Begrüßung1:38 Der Besuch des CIA-Chefs in Moskau13.39 Der Drohnenangriff auf den Flughafen Leipzig/HallePodcast-Tipp: IQ - Wissenschaft und Forschung, die Folge "Fliegen, fahren, tauchen – Was Drohnen heute und morgen können"Wenn Sie Fragen haben: Schreiben Sie an general@mdraktuell.de oder rufen Sie kostenfrei an unter 0800 637 37 37.

Ratcliffe a Mosca, la diplomazia delle spie fra Ucraina, Iran e NATO.A cura di Domenico Frascà di Frascà & Partners, Analisi geopolitica e politico-istituzionale.
On Tuesday, August 25, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Ratcliffe traveled to Moscow, Russia, for the first publicly disclosed time to meet with Russian intelligence officials. While the CIA has not shared the official purpose of the trip, Ratcliffe reportedly cautioned Russia against attacking North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member states. The visit also comes after four and a half years of war between Russia and Ukraine with little progress in peace discussions.

She wrote:I shudder to think of the mud that so many good, necessary emotions have been dragged through to get to the altar of normalization, chief among them shame and embarrassment... They form the bedrock of the shared norms and values that keep society functional. Varying degrees of risk-taking and independent decision-making — and failure — are essential to establishing character and creating the foundation of self-trust and resilience that everyone needs to truly grow.Check out Carina's full essay here.You can read today's podcast here and today's “Under the radar” story here and today's “Have a nice day” story here.You can subscribe to Tangle by clicking here or drop something in our tip jar by clicking here.

The episode focuses on two stories with a heavy dose of irony and geopolitical anxiety. Alex reacts to far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos being detained by ICE and facing deportation after overstaying his authorized time in the U.S., then turns to CIA Director John Ratcliffe's surprise trip to Moscow to warn Russia against testing NATO—potentially through a limited attack on a Baltic state. The Ratcliffe visit feels especially ominous given that the last known CIA-director trip to Moscow came shortly before Russia invaded Ukraine.
Warum ist CIA-Chef John Ratcliffe nach Russland gereist? Darüber wird viel spekuliert. Der Politologe Marco Overhaus glaubt nicht, dass der Besuch Teil einer Strategie ist. Dass die USA Präsenz zeigen, sei jedoch "erstmal ein gutes Signal". Brandes, Rainer www.deutschlandfunk.de, Interviews
For review:1. CIA Director John Ratcliffe was in Moscow, Russia, for meetings on Tuesday, sources familiar with the situation told CBS News.2. Russia warned on Thursday that it could strike British military targets inside and outside Ukraine in response to Ukrainian attacks on targets inside Russia using long-range British cruise missiles.3. The United States on Friday issued fresh Iran-related sanctions as the war hit its six-month mark in a move that was rebuffed by Tehran as “state terrorism.”Iran condemned the United States' new economic sanctions and said other countries were legally obliged not to implement them. 4. The United Kingdom warned on Friday that expelling its representatives from the US-led coordination center for postwar Gaza, located in southern Israel, would “undermine” efforts to improve the situation in the war-torn Strip.5. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar announced on Tuesday that Dutch representatives will be expelled from the US-backed international coordination center for Gaza, citing a series of “anti-Israel measures” by the Netherlands.6. US President Donald Trump signed an order on Friday creating a US Space Academy, billing it as a new military and civilian institution modeled after West Point and other military service academies.7. USN Aircraft Carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) will leave from San Diego in the coming weeks. The the strike group expected to move into US Central Command AOR to relieve the Japan-based USS George Wshington (CVN-73), which entered US 5th Fleet last week.8. The Pentagon is betting big on a $1.15 trillion discretionary budget request with a further $350 billion coming from the reconciliation process — together adding up to a historic $1.5 trillion defense budget.
Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they weigh in on President Trump renaming Lake Ontario as the trade spat with Canada intensifies, Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman's pathetic example of an accomplishment, why CIA Director John Ratcliffe secretly went to Moscow, and Politico badly mischaracterizing Jim's reporting.First, they shake their heads as President Trump orders Lake Ontario to be called Lake America in response to the U.S.-Canada trade relationship getting worse. Jim and Greg contend the renaming of the lake doesn't accomplish anything, and Jim notes that our current trade policies only make life tougher for GOP candidates in the midterms.Next, they get a kick out of socialist Los Angeles councilwoman and mayoral candidate Nithya Raman bragging about how her office successfully painted a new crosswalk across a badly cracked street just nine months after her constituents asked her to do it. Then, they react to new reporting from the Wall Street Journal that CIA Director John Ratcliffe recently went to Moscow in a secretive way to demand Russia refrain from attacking NATO members and reiterating that NATO members will defend their partners. Jim applauds Trump and Ratcliffe for sending that message but wants to know what intelligence prompted the trip and that message.Finally, Jim vents after Politico blatantly distorts his reporting on a possible AOC presidential bid and makes other amateurish errors.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line.

Oproep Kherson te verlaten | Rusland kruipt verder in Donetsk | Defensie of Landbouw Rusland intensiveert zijn militaire druk in Oekraïne en vergroot tegelijkertijd de dreiging richting NAVO en Europa. Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk bespreken de drone-aanvallen op Russische doelen, de verwoestende inzet van zweefbommen op Oekraïense steden en de zorgwekkende, kruipende terreinwinst rond plaatsen als Kostjantynivka en de gordel van gefortificeerde steden in de Donbas. De Verenigde Staten sturen CIA-directeur Ratcliffe naar Moskou om Poetin te waarschuwen voor verdere escalatie richting NAVO-grondgebied, terwijl de Russische economie zichtbaar kraakt onder sancties en brandstoftekorten. In Brussel ontbrandt tegelijk een principieel gevecht over de Europese meerjarenbegroting, extra defensie-uitgaven en het gebruik van de honderden miljarden aan bevroren Russische tegoeden, met Nederland en andere nettobetalers in de frontlinie. In het Midden-Oosten scherpt Iran zijn militaire doctrine aan met sneller reageren, preëmptieve aanvallen en dreiging tegen de Golfstaten, terwijl de Straat van Hormuz slechts beperkt openblijft en de interne economische druk in Iran oploopt. Israël blijft intussen militair actief in Gaza en tegen Hezbollah, wat de relaties met de VS en Europese landen verder onder spanning zet, inclusief diplomatieke wrevel met Nederland over sancties tegen nederzettingsproducten. De aflevering eindigt met de vraag hoe lang westerse eensgezindheid en strategische kalmte standhouden onder deze stapeling van crises.

Diese Woche hat der Chef des US-amerikanischen Auslandsgeheimdienstes, Ratcliffe, Moskau besucht. Warum, darüber wird spekuliert. Zeitungen berichten, der CIA-Direktor habe Russland vor einem möglichen Angriff auf die NATO gewarnt. Für den Militärhistoriker Sönke Neitzel ist es zumindest ein Hinweis darauf, dass die westliche Allianz eine Eskalation mit Russland für möglich hält. "Und dass das so öffentlich gemacht wird, (…) ist meines Erachtens schon Teil einer amerikanischen Strategie, die eigentlich für uns ganz positiv ist, weil (…) Trump ja vielfach den Artikel 5, die Beistandsklausel der NATO, infrage gestellt" hat, sagt Neitzel im Interview mit Host Anna Engelke. Im Bündnis werde darüber diskutiert, ob Russlands Machthaber Putin den Krieg gegen die Ukraine weiter eskaliert. Neitzel bewertet im Interview die Aussagen von Bundeskanzler Merz, der Urhebern hybrider Angriffe drohte. Der Militärhistoriker analysiert die geplanten Änderungen am BND-Gesetz und erklärt, dass die Bundeswehr aus seiner Sicht grundlegend reformiert werden muss. Und: Ein halbes Jahr nach Kriegsbeginn im Nahen Osten ordnet Neitzel im Podcast auch die aktuelle Situation ein. Die USA, größte Militärmacht der Welt, stehe "wie ein begossener Pudel da".Im Ukraine-Krieg gibt es keine dramatischen Veränderungen an der Front. Stefan Niemann analysiert die Lage im Donezk am Beispiel der Stadt Kramatorsk. Wolodymyr Selenskyj plane, die Truppen in dieser Region neu aufzustellen und zu verstärken. Am Rande der Feierlichkeiten zum ukrainischen Unabhängigkeitstag hat die Koalition der Willigen der Ukraine weitere Unterstützung zugesagt. Künftig dürfen die Marschflugkörper britisch-französischer Bauart (Storm Shadow und Scalp) in der Ukraine produziert werden. Das trägt zur Verschärfung des Streits zwischen Moskau und London bei - unverhohlen droht Russland inzwischen mit Angriffen auf britische Rüstungsunternehmen.

War Room Treasury Sec. Bessent Ready For Financial Great Reset, CIA Director Ratcliffe Flew To Moscow & Warned Putin Against Striking NATO Nations, Plus Major False Flag Cyberattack Incoming
Jon Herold digs into a fresh batch of White House transparency documents on election machine supply chain vulnerabilities, walking through claims that voting machine vendors rely on Chinese made parts, but flags what he thinks is a bigger discovery: what appears to be the previously unknown title of a classified national security memorandum buried in the document citations. He also breaks down Trump's new national emergency declaration over foreign threats to the power grid, connects it to earlier joint declarations from top intelligence officials about the White House ballroom construction, and plays Trump's signing ceremony for the very on brand renaming of Lake Ontario to "Lake America." Other topics include a skeptical take on CIA Director Ratcliffe's under the radar Moscow trip, fresh Kremlin threats toward British military facilities over Ukraine support, and RFK Jr.'s claims about a fabricated Pennsylvania measles death. Sponsor reads and chat banter round out a document heavy Thursday show.
Your feed said the midterms are over. Brian Derrick says take a breath. Plus Rob Sand is the favorite to be Iowa's next governor.The Supreme Court's shadow docket order on Donald Trump's mail-in voting executive order launched a thousand dramatic headlines this week. Brian Derrick walks through what the 6-3 order actually did, which was lift one of two injunctions on standing grounds, and why the slow churn of the courts may be working in our favor before November 3. Glennis Meagher explains why the panic is still a fair feeling with ballots going out in a matter of weeks across 24 jurisdictions, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin among them. Also, Glennis looked up who cast a mail ballot in Florida's August 18 primary. It was Donald Trump.Then the numbers. Second quarter GDP growth came in at 1.5 percent, down from 2.1. New 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods took effect over the weekend and Mark Carney's government answered within days. Brian explains the death of deference, which is how a president keeps doing the exact thing the Supreme Court told him he cannot do, by citing a new law every single time.Glennis opens a new weekly corruption beat with the Wall Street Journal's reporting on Live Nation. Michael Rapino sat down with Trump in the Oval Office on February 27 to talk Kennedy Center bookings, and Trump asked why the antitrust case had not settled. Two words to a senior DOJ official, settle it, and a case built over years was resolved days into trial. Brian lays out how far the pattern now runs: four airlines controlling 70 percent of the market, three carriers controlling 98 percent of wireless, two companies controlling every pair of sunglasses you have ever owned. Plus the Joint Economic Committee report on Trump's oil and gas holdings during a war he started.Also this week for Clickbait or Double Click: the Hakeem Jeffries and Jared Kushner meeting that content creator land could not stop talking about, CIA Director John Ratcliffe's unannounced trip to Moscow, and DHS quietly conceding that its 16,000 noncitizen voters in Nevada figure was preliminary, with only 185 confirmed so far. Then your Oath Candidate of the Week doubles as your Good Vibe Goodbye. Rob Sand is running for governor of Iowa, multiple prognosticators now have him as the favorite, and his coattails could put three Iowa House seats in play. We also take a minute for Dolly Parton.UPDATE: This episode was recorded Wednesday morning, August 26, 2026.

Kommentiert werden heute unter anderem der Handelsstreit zwischen den USA und Kanada, der Vergleich im juristischen Streit in den USA mit dem Meta-Konzern und der Besuch des Direktors des US-Auslandsgeheimdienstes CIA, Ratcliffe, in Moskau.

Today's Headlines: Dolly Parton, the legendary country singer, songwriter, actress, and philanthropist, has died at 80. Beyond music, she leaves behind an extraordinary legacy of generosity and her work supporting medical research. Shifting gears, the CIA director made an attempted secret trip to Moscow with the plane sitting on the ground for eight hours and no explanation of who Ratcliffe met with or why, with possibilities ranging from hostage negotiations to addressing Russia's recent NATO provocations. Pivoting to the trade war, Canada announced 50% retaliatory tariffs on $20 billion in American goods effective September 8th, matching Trump's tariffs dollar for dollar on dairy, seafood, steel, appliances, and toilet paper, while Trump responded by threatening to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America on a gold-lettered map posted to Truth Social. That'll show them. And since we're on the subject of renaming, the DOJ argued in court that the Kennedy Center will collapse into a "decrepit structure" without Trump's name on the facade. On the Iran war beat, Tulsi Gabbard reportedly warned Trump before he started the Iran war in February that Iran would immediately close the Strait of Hormuz, that killing the Supreme Leader would produce a more hardline regime pursuing nuclear weapons, and that Iran would strike US bases across the region — all of which happened. On “the decline,” the Agriculture Secretary couldn't say where the 300,000 metric tons of mystery ground beef is coming from, saying conversations are "still going on," which is not reassuring. Two unvaccinated people in Lancaster, Pennsylvania died of measles — the first US measles deaths this year — amid a local outbreak of nearly 400 cases, a third of them children, as case numbers continue to break records for the most since measles was eliminated in 2000. Gary, Indiana is entering its second week without power for thousands of residents with no restoration in sight, and Darline Graham won her South Carolina Senate runoff, spending nearly a million Trump-backed dollars to inherit her brother's seat and run against Dr. Annie Andrews in November.

//The Wire//2300Z August 26, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: MAJOR FLASH FLOODS AND MUDSLIDES DEVASTATE TIBET AND NEPAL. STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS CONTINUE FOLLOWING CIA DIRECTOR VISIT TO RUSSIA. STABBING ATTACK REPORTED IN AUSTRALIA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Europe: The war remains constant as Ukraine and Russia continue their targeting efforts. Overnight, Ukraine continued their strikes on Russian oil infrastructure, targeting the Lukoil Refinery in Kstovo. Similarly, Russia has continued striking gas stations within Ukraine. Both sides have also continued strikes on each others consumer industry, with Ukraine hitting Wildberries and Ozon warehouses, and Russia hitting shopping malls in Ukraine.Western Asia: This morning a major mudslide was reported in Tibet, after flash flooding throughout the region caused instability in the terrain. The small Himalayan town of Gyirong was nearly completely destroyed by mudslides, along with many other mountain villages. Analyst Comment: As this disaster took place mostly in Tibet, the administration of recovery efforts is complicated. China is the most capable entity in the general region, and has mobilized around a hundred soldiers that were already at the far-flung outposts on the border of the autonomous region. Chinese authorities have stated that this is a mass casualty event, and video footage of the mudslides confirm several dozen fatalities outright, with potentially hundreds of people being killed by the disaster.Australia: Yesterday afternoon, a stabbing attack was reported in Melbourne, after an African man attacked a 10-year-old boy randomly on the street directly outside the main entrance of the Victoria Police Headquarters. After attacking the child, the assailant stabbed the boy's mother with a pair of scissors. Several bystanders immediately counterattacked the assailant, subduing him while police responded from their headquarters building. The assailant has been identified as Jerry Sowood, a Liberian man who proudly confessed to the crime in court shortly after his arrest.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Strategic indications and warnings keep stacking up concerning American and Russian military assets, though right now it's not entirely clear what it all means. Shortly after Ratcliffe's visit to Moscow, a total of 5x E6-B MERCURY TACEMO aircraft took off and flew patterns over the American interior all at roughly the same time. This has happened a few times before during exercises, but it's not that common to see this many strategic communication aircraft airborne at the same time. This morning, a strategic Russian radio station was active again, repeating several coded messages for unknown recipients on 5135 kHz. This frequency has occasionally been used by strategic Russian assets in the past, and starting about two weeks ago this frequency began being used more frequently. Normally, messages that begin with the prefix DMITRI are higher priority messages, or at least that's a common theory among shortwave listeners. These transmissions repeated throughout the day, mostly conveying the same coded message.Normally, the movement of strategic aircraft or cryptic radio messages can't be pinned down to a singular event or cause, and the entire purpose of the whole strategic readiness posture is to make an exercise indistinguishable from a real-world event. However, when we add up the events of the past 48 hours, the situation is revealed to be more interesting than at face value. In isolation, an interesting plane flying around or a random radio message is not worthy of mention, but in aggregate these events become vastly more interesting, even though it's impossible to know why.More broadly, the very minute details and observances by planewatchers, shortwave listeners, and hobbyists alike are extremely early indicators of some kind of strategic event. These observances are at the very bleeding edge of what is possible to perceive within the open source world, and must be weighted accordingly. It is impossible to make decisions based on so little data, so right now all of this is just evidence supporting the hunch that strategic moves are being made. The CIA Director flying to Moscow at the same time 5x "Doomsday" communications planes are active in the US, and the Russians are more active on their own strategic radio frequencies...is all extremely coincidental to be nothing. Much more analysis will be needed to maybe determine what's going on but as it stands, high-level diplomatic and strategic moves continue behind the scenes, as both the war in Ukraine and Iran remain in the balance.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//
CannCon and Ashe open with the CIA director making an unannounced trip to Moscow and speculate on what business would justify a visit nobody was supposed to know about. From there they dig into three Secret Service communications officials being suspended and stripped of clearances in a leak probe that appears tied to the Air Force One plane swap story, with both the FBI and CIA involved. The middle of the show covers the Department of Education rollback and a Colorado teacher taking on her own union, sparking a broader conversation about decision rights and who should actually hold them. The back half is heavy on elections, from Michigan's motor voter whistleblower claims and a Postal Service standoff with a federal judge to an Ohio proof of citizenship block and Lisa Murkowski's shifting explanations on the Save America Act. Plenty of banter and real depth throughout.
Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid kick things off with the mystery of John Ratcliffe making an unannounced trip to Moscow, walking through why the usual explanations do not add up and what kind of message might actually be getting delivered behind closed doors. From there they build out a bigger thesis connecting Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, and a coming tokenized financial infrastructure to what they see as the real global battle over data, computation, and energy. They push back on some popular takes making the rounds about the Iran conflict, break down why the decapitation strategy mattered more than sanctions alone, and explain why every major tech player is racing to secure power for the AI buildout. Expect plenty of geopolitical deep diving, some spirited disagreement with other commentators, and the usual community shoutouts along the way.

//The Wire//2300Z August 25, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: CIA DIRECTOR CONDUCTS MYSTERIOUS VISIT TO MOSCOW. AMERICAN TRADE DISPUTE WITH CANADA DETERIORATES AS BOTH SIDES DIG IN AND ANNOUNCE MUTUAL TARIFFS. IRAN STRIKES ANOTHER TANKER IN HORMUZ.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Middle East: Last night Iran struck another tanker vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, which resulted in the vessel being disabled just off the coast of Oman. The vessel has not been identified as of this report, however this is the first tanker vessel struck by Iran in about a week.Russia: This morning unique aviation traffic was observed, centered around a US Air Force C-17 which took off from Riga, Latvia bound for Moscow. The transport aircraft (Callsign REACH4555) took off from Riga, landing in Moscow a few hours later, with both the United States and Russia not acknowledging the movement. Russians in Moscow also reported seeing American vehicles with diplomatic license plates being escorted by Russian police in the vicinity of the Kremlin.Analyst Comment: So far, neither side has confirmed who this aircraft movement was related to, however this appears to be a visit by CIA Director John Ratcliffe, who arrived for confidential talks with President Putin. This visit (particularly conducted in this manner) is highly unusual, and since all sides are ignoring questions about what was discussed, it will be quite interesting to find out what this visit was really about in a few days. The route taken by Ratcliffe's plane into Russia from Latvia was probably a hint regarding what the very short meeting was related to, but this can be interpreted in many different ways which are all speculative. Landing in Riga was not really necessary; the C-17 could have landed directly in Moscow without diverting to Latvia. Russia has been eyeing the targeting of NATO members for supplying Ukraine with munitions for a few months now, and though we have only complete speculation to rely on, it's possible that the visit was related to that. It could also be related to the rapidly escalating strikes on energy infrastructure throughout Russia and Ukraine. Both parties are slugging it out by destroying major petroleum infrastructure which is being made worse by the war in the Middle East, and the CIA Director would be the level of station that would be put on a plane to broker a miniature truce on that front. Whatever it was, it was certainly not without major importance. The last time the chief spy visited the Kremlin was five years ago, when Director Burns visited Russia to warn against invading Ukraine. That visit was largely kept a secret and only disclosed after the fact, whereas this morning's visit was telegraphed to the world to see very visibly.Canada: The trade dispute with the United States continues to deteriorate as both sides intensify hostile rhetoric on the economic front. So far, talks have stalled and both sides appear to be heading toward a return to mutual retaliatory tariffs. Over the past few days President Trump has threatened to impose a 50% tax on all automotive and auto parts imports from Canada, and this morning Canada announced a similar threats of tariffs on American imports.-HomeFront-Nevada: The Hawk Fire continues to demonstrate active fire behavior as weather conditions have allowed the fire's spread over the past 24 hours. As of this morning, almost 90,000 people are either in mandatory evacuation zones, or are in the "get ready" zones, preparing to evacuate. Good progress was made overnight by crews digging handlines, which have prioritized defending residences in Dog Valley. The weather forecast indicates an increase in conditions favorable for fire behavior over the next 24 hours, with the National Interagency Fire Center predicting the potential for the fire to make major runs to the Northeast and Northwest over the next few days.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Within the Middle East, another threat vector bears consideration as the United States and Iran engage in their economic-warfare phase of the conflict. Yesterday, the United States announced the start of this economic campaign, which began with no real solid and tangible tactics being disclosed. More generally, this plan is an economic version of "if you're not with us, you're against us", and is intended to force other nations that have been sitting on the fence, to choose to support the United States (or at least, not support Iran). The issue with this plan, is that Iran has publicly stated many times that they will not be engaging in tit-for-tat economic policies...they will be meeting economic targeting, with kinetic targeting.How serious they are about this, is anyone's guess; they may just be content to let the Americans continue the economic warfare, on the bet that it won't really affect them since they've been sanctioned for half a century already. However, if Iran does decide to use missiles and drones to respond to American economic targeting, this could get ugly.For instance, if the United States somehow seriously hurts their ability to work with Pakistan to export oil through their pipeline, the Iranians might strike a Chevron facility in Iraq. And they probably won't be hitting the storage tanks, but the office trailer where they know Americans are working. They could also hit the American-linked banking headquarters facilities with precision strikes in Dubai, as a message to both parties. Based on the rhetoric that has been flying all around, this would be an example of the next rungs on the escalation ladder that both sides are climbing by the day. Iran limiting their strikes to only valid military targets and petroleum facilities so far during this war, might lend one to have the false assumption that Iran has been striking the most significant targets they could find. In terms of risk management, if the Iranians have indeed been holding back, the only way that the US will find out that their assumptions are wrong, will be Iranian munitions landing at facilities that the US did not expect.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

This week, I'm joined by Brett Ratcliffe, Head Baseball Coach at Trine University, for a conversation that goes far beyond wins, losses and recruiting.With more than 30 years in coaching and experience at the high school, college and USA Baseball levels, Coach Ratcliffe has seen player development from just about every angle.Why fundamentals are still lacking when players reach collegeWhy development is a process — and why you can't skip stepsWhat college coaches are REALLY looking for in recruitsWhy players need to earn opportunitiesBuilding a culture of “WE instead of ME”What his USA Baseball experience taught him about identifying elite playersStories about future MLB stars — including a young Freddie FreemanAnd why, after more than 30 years of coaching, so much of what he believes still traces back to learning the game from his dad. This was one of those conversations where an hour went by incredibly fast.
Lighting has evolved from a functional necessity into one of the most expressive tools in the interior designer's palette. With intelligent fixtures, light can now shift in colour, temperature and intensity throughout the day, warming mornings, energising afternoons, and creating cinematic evenings, all tuned to how we actually live. It can transform art, sculpture and materials within the home, add layers and drama, quietly shaping mood, emotion and experience. How are interior designers and lighting specialists working together to use light and shade in new and exciting ways? How could we see these ideas in action at WOW!house 2026 and what is the likely impact of such creative, design sensitive collaborations on the future of luxury residential design? Host Jeff Hayward is joined by WOW!house 2026 room designer, Samantha Bartlett, Luke Thomas from John Cullen Lighting, James Ratcliffe from Homeplay and Shaun Gumbs from Lutron in front of a live audience of designers to find out.

Oil prices have once again hit US$100 a barrel as the conflict in the Middle East escalates. Verity Ratcliffe, energy correspondent at the Financial Times spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
Jon Herold comes in on July 4th Eve light on prep and heavy on chat energy, which turns out to be exactly right for a holiday Friday. Bill Pulte fired dozens of ODNI intelligence officials this week for allegedly withholding information from leadership, and Jon floats the theory that Ratcliffe may be the one directing the firings while Pulte provides cover. The New York Times reported that the US secretly warned regional allies to tip off Iran that Israel was planning to assassinate its Foreign Minister and Parliament Speaker during active peace negotiations, and Jon says it fits the pattern of Israel simply not caring about talks it never wanted in the first place. The left and a Chinese commentator are now publicly discussing Trump's third term, which Jon reads as projection mixed with genuine worry, and he plays Steve Bannon's Economist interview making the principled case that the will of the American people is what the Constitution actually embodies. A Texas state rep Jon interviewed back in August 2025 just got appointed as Abbott's election integrity policy advisor, and Jon got cited as a conservative influencer in the Dallas Morning News for it. CannCon's $2.40 gas prediction lands at $3.82 nationally. Jon also closed out Badlands YouTube early today to avoid a second strike.
Jon Herold and Burning Bright mark the exact five-year anniversary of the first Devolution article, the same day Trump flew to the North Dakota Badlands to dedicate the Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library and said "Badlands" on camera. After the celebrations, the show gets substantive fast. The election fraud disclosure landscape gets a full accounting: the DNI report, the White House task force with John Solomon and Derek Harvey, and the Florida RICO probe are all running simultaneously, and the guys raise the uncomfortable question of whether all three could end up tainting each other. Jon delivers the most detailed breakdown yet of Solomon's access to the Russiagate binder the night of January 19, 2021, and what that means for the burn bags story. Deep state media sources confirming Ratcliffe as Trump's actual intelligence advisor over Gabbard and Pulte gets its own segment as quiet vindication. The show closes on a genuine, frictional debate about whether psyops can only be defeated by counter-psyops or whether demanding the truth is both the moral and practical path forward, with Burning Bright's Watchmen ending and Jon's JFK secrecy quote as the competing frames.
The CIA is looking to drastically speed up its acquisition timelines to acquire cutting edge technology like AI. CIA Director John Ratcliffe says the goal is to complete most technology acquisitions within six months. And the secretive spy agency also wants to open up to industry through a new Office of Corporate Partnerships.

The White House isn't planning to review the so-called Department of Government Efficiency's performance as the Elon Musk-launched project that eviscerated large swaths of federal agencies winds down, its top budget official said Tuesday. During a House Appropriations hearing, Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee Chairman Dave Joyce noted that DOGE has been “pretty much eliminated” in the proposed fiscal 2027 budget. The Ohio Republican then asked Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought if he planned to present any documentation on “what exactly DOGE accomplished” in terms of “reductions in dollars spent” and “people at agencies.” Vought answered that the administration has “no plans to do … a closing DOGE report,” though it is “happy to give you our assessment of that work” saying he thinks “it made some really important strides.” An executive branch funding proposal for fiscal 2027 released in January called for $8 million to the OMB-housed Information Technology Oversight and Reform bucket to fund DOGE. The 2027 Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act (H.R.8495), introduced in April, also appropriated $8 million for ITOR, though DOGE wasn't mentioned by name in the bill. The White House's fiscal 2027 budget proposal, also released in April, requested $35 million for DOGE. The CIA has reorganized several of its key acquisition and tech directorates to better embrace emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and quantum computing as they reshape “the reality of conflict and asymmetric warfare,” Director John Ratcliffe said Tuesday. During rare public remarks at the AWS DC Summit, Ratcliffe pointed to recent CIA-supported operations in Venezuela and the Middle East, including the rescue of a downed F-15E Strike Eagle pilot in Iran, as examples of the outsized impact of technology on the agency's intelligence operations. Recognizing there's no shortage of conflict or crisis around the globe, Ratcliffe said the CIA does not have the luxury of relying on what's worked in the past. Instead, the agency must position itself as a leader in adopting cutting-edge technologies. With that in mind, the CIA has undertaken a “fundamental reshaping” of its “entire approach to technology,” Ratcliffe said. That includes overhauling its digital innovation office, reconstructing its commercial tech procurement strategy, streamlining communication channels with industry and elevating its offensive cyber capabilities as a core mission function.

Jon Herold and Burning Bright open the Wednesday show with Anna Paulina Luna's assault press conference, complete with video of the tap on the arm that launched a thousand charges, and use it to make the principled argument the community keeps refusing to hear: if APL is actually a white hat, that should worry you more than it reassures you. From there, breaking news drops mid-episode: Trump announces Todd Blanche moves from acting to permanent Attorney General, and the guys connect it to Kurt Olsen quietly joining the Southern District of Florida under Joe DeGenova for the grand conspiracy Rico probe. Bill Pulte as acting DNI gets the Last Refuge treatment: he is a placeholder while the real target for the role is Rick Crawford, and the intel community itself admits that Ratcliffe is the one actually running Trump's intelligence agenda. Trump's Miranda Devine interview confirms on camera that the 2020 election was rigged 100% and that 2024 had rigging too, and Burning Bright reads Trump's deliberate silence on accountability as the most encouraging signal of the week. The House War Powers Resolution passing with four Republicans leads to the show's sharpest argument: Trump is not working through congress, he is working around it, and anyone still pinning the movement's hopes on midterm seats has misread what Trump is actually doing.
CannCon returns after saying goodbye to his stepdad, and Alpha Warrior shows up to carry the weight alongside him. The show opens with grace and moves into one of the biggest news days in weeks. John Bolton reaches a plea deal on classified document charges during the broadcast, and Alpha immediately explains what it means: he cooperated. Alpha had predicted on this show that an early plea is a 100% indicator of cooperation, first witness gets the best deal, and Comey is next. Trump officially nominates Todd Blanche as permanent Attorney General and the Senate advances reconciliation after dropping the anti-weaponization fund. Trump immediately signals it is not fully off the table. Bill Pulte's appointment as acting DNI while keeping his FHFA role triggers a GOP meltdown, and Tom Tillis accidentally says the quiet part out loud by calling Ratcliffe the tallest pole in the intelligence tent, confirming the CIA considers itself above DNI. CannCon and Alpha map out why Pulte's mortgage fraud visibility from FHFA combined with DNI authority is a devastating combination for the Sinaloa cartel laundering operation in Arizona, Tennessee, and Georgia. Trump signs an executive order shutting down illegal immigrant bank accounts. California produces a governor runoff between Steve Hilton and a Newsom chief of staff with a pending guilty plea in her own campaign.
Jerry Ratcliffe speaks with University of Cincinnati policing scholar Jesse Huff about her research on police effectiveness, fairness, and evidence-based reform. Huff recounts her path from aspiring military police officer to academic researcher, shaped by graduate work at the University of Nevada, Reno and Arizona State University, where partnerships with police agencies informed her practice-oriented approach. Huff discusses a randomized controlled trial of body-worn cameras in the Phoenix Police Department conducted after Ferguson. The study found cameras altered some policing behaviors but did not reduce use of force, while arrest patterns shifted differently across Black and Hispanic neighborhoods. She argues that successful police–research partnerships depend on feasible study designs, clear communication, timely findings, and mutual understanding between practitioners and researchers. The conversation examines challenges in policing research, including organizational resistance, the complexity of implementing randomized trials, and the importance of process evaluations and logic models. Huff also describes her work evaluating crime gun intelligence centers and NIBIN technologies, including Phoenix's crime gun liaison program, which improved ballistic evidence collection but showed less consistent effects on arrests, case clearance, and crime reduction. Ratcliffe and Huff further discuss Huff's evaluation of a Brazilian jiu-jitsu–based response-to-resistance program developed with the St. Paul Police Department. The training aims to improve officer control tactics while reducing higher levels of force, with especially positive outcomes for women officers. The episode concludes with Huff's ongoing research into police retention strategies in Ohio, emphasizing organizational culture, supervision, and job satisfaction. Throughout the discussion, both stress the importance of building trust between agencies and researchers and aligning policing innovations with outcomes communities value.
