This episode examines American landscape one year later and whether the probability of attack is reduced or increased. My Storming America Series covers the gamut of what the spontaneous attack in the US will look like when terror cells launch a simultaneous attack on the US homeland. I cover it in Episodes 37, 41-43 and 49-50 of my Chasing Ghosts podcast. I discuss the outcome of the probable jihadist invasion of America. America is in a unique position in history in which it has facilitated the unfettered invasion of its borders and a large swath of military age males have been granted asylum or gone undetected to link up with legacy underground Islamist and terrorist groups across the country.

Sailing in the Mediterranean Episode 290 Interview with Matthew Bracken Version 1.0.0 From Navy SEAL to Novelist and Bluewater Sailor: Meet Matthew Bracken In this episode of the podcast, we welcome Matthew Bracken—a man whose life reads like an adventure novel. A former Navy SEAL and lifelong sailor, Bracken is best known for his action-packed political thrillers that blend real-world tensions with gripping, character-driven plots. But what truly sets him apart is his deep connection to the sea. After serving in the Navy, Bracken didn't just settle into civilian life—he sailed off into it. He spent years living aboard and voyaging across oceans on his own sailboat. His time at sea gave him a firsthand look at self-reliance, freedom, and the raw edge of adventure. These themes echo powerfully throughout his fiction. Matthew Bracken's Books 1. Enemies Foreign and Domestic (2003)The first in the Enemies trilogy. A rogue federal agent stages a mass shooting to justify draconian gun laws. A retired SEAL and a sharp-eyed journalist race to uncover the truth. It's a chilling tale of government overreach and personal courage. 2. Domestic Enemies: The Reconquista (2006)Set in a fractured near-future America, the story imagines the Southwest under separatist control. With borders dissolving and loyalties shifting, Bracken explores nationalism, identity, and civil conflict. 3. Foreign Enemies and Traitors (2009)The trilogy concludes with the rise of a tyrannical president who invites foreign troops onto U.S. soil. Resistance forces fight back in a gripping climax of betrayal, bravery, and rebellion. 4. Castigo Cay (2011)A true sailor's thriller. Dan Kilmer, a former Marine turned outlaw sailor, becomes involved in rescuing a kidnapped girl from a Caribbean crime cartel. This one draws heavily on Bracken's own sailing experiences—and it shows. 5. The Red Cliffs of Zerhoun (2016)A group of Americans is kidnapped by jihadists in North Africa. With strong echoes of historical captivity narratives, this story blends action, cultural conflict, and survival. 6. The Bracken Collection: Essays and Short Fiction (2019)A mix of political essays, short stories, and thought experiments—this collection offers a look into Bracken's worldview beyond the world of fiction. 7. Doomsday Reef (2020)Bracken returns to nautical action in this maritime adventure set in the South China Sea. With rising international tensions and a cast of rogue seafarers, it's a modern-day pirate story laced with geopolitics.

Mark Booher at Pearl Snap Tactical interviewed me discussing irregular warfare and the threat to the homeland. We discuss irregular warfare and the impacts of an up-sized catastrophic attack on the US homeland. We riff on and discuss my "Storming America" series (episodes 37, 41-43 and 49-50) on the CG podcast. The election results don't change the imminent danger but may alter the warp and woof of the probability and timeline of attack.

We wanted to get a follow up on the discovery of 6 baby tortoises at the reserve that made headlines this week!

This is an episode to examine what you can do about the coming civil unrest in America. I discuss some of the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) the free range human can employ to prepare and protect themselves for the coming unpleasantness. I further discuss weapons, kit, preps and training to prepare for what I consider the inevitable conflict emerging in the West. One morning we will all wake up to simultaneous attacks by bad actors across the country on soft targets, if you agree with that morbid notion, you have an obligation to act since you are warned.

This is an episode to examine what you can do about the coming civil unrest in America. I discuss some of the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) the free range human can employ to prepare and protect themselves for the coming unpleasantness.I wanted to add a great note from one of my listeners [H/T to MG] that is a great addition to the recommendations for an entry price point Stoner platform. Be sure to get a red dot.I would like to bring one thing to your attention. Garand Thumb did a video on the Palmetto State Armory (PSA) $400 AR-15 platform. Title of video: "How Many Rounds Will A 400 Dollar AR-15 Last"?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHGtjx_2qbQHe matched up the PSA upper to a lower that allowed automatic fire to speed up the test. The rifle performed flawlessly into the 6500 rnds fired range to include engaging targets out to 700m to demonstrate barrel wear conditions.Now consider that your high end AR platform will start experiencing problems in the 10-12 thousand rounds fired range and cost 3-4x the price of the PSA AR platform. For that same high end AR price you could purchase 3-5 of the PSA's rifles.My key takeaway from the video, for new gun owners and/or strict budget due to our current economic decline and late stage empire, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend someone to buy 1-2 PSA rifles, a quality optic, and a 1-2 thousand rounds and yet still be under the price of a high end AR and it's high end optic normally paired.References:https://backofbeyondsite.wordpress.com/2024/08/02/ammo-inventory/INTERVIEW WITH C.

Caitlin Vine lifted the lid on another pulsating weekend of Sunraysia Netball, which included one very unexpected result - on this week's Flow Friday Sports Show.The Ouyen United Kangas take on Red Cliffs this weekend at their official home away from home at Unerbool. 

I discuss the outcome of the probable jihadist invasion of America. America is in a unique position in history in which it has facilitated the unfettered invasion of its borders and a large swath of military age males have been granted asylum or gone undetected to link up with legacy underground Islamist and terrorist groups across the country.

In this episode I discuss what the attack looks like in America. This is not if, this is when. The country is poised to experience this through a combination of neglect and the sheer hubris of meddling in the world without realize the unintended consequences. I wish I had better news but you have been warned, it's on the horizon. Per the attack on Israel out of Gaza on 7 October 2023, only 140,000 Israelis out of a population of 9 million, or under two percent, were allowed to own a firearm prior to October and that is restricted to a handgun only and ammunition was limited to 50 rounds. I talk about William Forstchen's "Day of Wrath" and Kurt Schlichter's "The Attack". References: William Forstchen Day of Wrath Kurt Schlichter The Attack Matt Bracken: Enemies Foreign and Domestic.

The Battle of Red Cliffs, also known as the Battle of Chibi, was a decisive naval battle in the winter of AD 208–209 at the end of the Han dynasty, about twelve years prior to the beginning of the Three Kingdoms period in Chinese history.[4] The battle was fought between the allied forces of the southern warlords Sun Quan, Liu Bei, and Liu Qi against the numerically superior forces of the northern warlord Cao Cao. Liu Bei and Sun Quan frustrated Cao Cao's effort to conquer the land south of the Yangtze River and reunite the territory of the Eastern Han dynasty.

Publishers Note: This episode will be an addendum to my initial coverage in October 2023 of the Gaza-Israel conflict in Episode 027 and riffing off the domestic implications in Episode 037 of a similar attack on CONUS. You can find those episodes here in the podcast files at LI. If you wish to listen to those before you do this one, you may but I have crafted this so that isn't necessary. We are closing to midnight now than October 2023. I finished reading “Sand and Steel: The D-Day Invasion and the Liberation of France” by Peter Caddick-Adams, and I am now reading his follow-on book, “Snow & Steel: The Battle of the Bulge 1944-45” in which he also highlights the victory fever that fatally compromised Operation Market Garden in Arnhem in Holland and seriously compromised the Allied response to the Ardennes offensive in December 1944. Like Ian Toll's Pacific trilogy, this is a masterful treatise with the depth, scholarship and footnotes that give new insights. History rhymes and we see the same thing with the tremendous triumphalist narrative in the west right now that they can best any martial opponent on Earth despite a near perfect record of military failure since 1945. Some housekeeping: I have taken a break from Gab and Twitter; I returned to Twitter after years away to help promote the podcast and I have had to tame the vampire by severely restricting the time I spend on it. I will surface to periscope depth on both social media accounts on Sunday mornings but not between to better focus on projects I am tackling. Please use the messaging function on those if you wish to chat. And I am leveraging the Notes feature here at Substack to post my brain-zephyrs occasionally. I wanted to personally thank my sixteen paid subscribers: RW, BB, Craig B, Kurt K, Pete, Will, John, John H, GS65, GW, R5, KK, V1Z, DC, PO and OLM. I wanted to thank my personal correspondents who reach out to me at cgpodcast@pm.me. I encourage everyone to use the comments function here at substack to tease out the conversation. Like the podcast, let me know via gentlemanly correspondence if there is an issue you'd like for me to ponder or make recommendations for improvements or episodes. -BB References: William Forstchen Day of Wrath Kurt Schlichter The Attack Matt Bracken: Enemies Foreign and Domestic.

It's all systems go in Ouyen as the Rams rev up for finals time in Red Cliffs Cricket this weekend. Dom Leach joined the Flow Friday Sports Show line-up to look ahead to this weekend's action and to review last weekend's efforts of the B-Grade side; both A and B-Grade teams have qualified for finals.

Dom Leach previewed the final round of the Red Cliffs home and away cricket season on the Flow Friday Sports Show. The A-Grade side will have to make do with life on the sidelines with yet another bye round, while the B-Grade will attempt to maintain their rise in the form ranks with a trip to Fire Brigade this long weekend.

The hybrid and gray zone fight will come to America in the next war. Once the declining American colossus shuffles into the next near-peer and peer conflict, the 21st century will see the continental US come under a unified attack by external forces for the first time since the War of 1812 and the Mexican border issues in 1916. How the 9/11/2001 events have not been replicated is a cipher to me. We need to war-game all the possibilities once a war is initiated with a near-peer or peer adversary. The kinetic forces on the ground will be sleepers, NOCs or recently arrived illegals in addition to cadres recruited over time and left in place.The police have no duty to protect citizens.Supreme Court cases per police protection:Castle Rock v.

Dom Leach provides analysis on last week's B-Grade success and looks ahead to this week's Red Cliffs cricket action.Last Friday night, the A-Grade team received word that their match with Robinvale would not go ahead due to the opposition not being able to field adequate numbers, which brought about an interesting talking point on this week's show.

So much rancor in this world these days. Here's one that describes the feeling of mutual enmity that existed between two giants of their day, Cao Cao and Sun Quan. During the waning years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, three powerful forces jockeyed for position to see who might push the Liu's off the throne and take over to found a new dynasty. There was no reconciliation in the tea leaves. As far as Cao Cao of Wei and Sun Quan of Wu were concerned, that throne was only big enough for one of them. Here's a story from 208 AD that features a useful Chinese Saying born on the eve of the epic Battle of Red Cliffs. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Right now, the state of Utah doesn't have a great way to measure how much of the water used to irrigate farms gets returned to the aquifers or lost to the air through evaporation. A pair of researchers with the Utah Geological Survey are working at Dugout Ranch to measure how much water is lost to evaporation and transpiration, information that could help the state make better water management decisions. //Show Notes: //Photo: This device measures evaporation and transpiration in an alfalfa field at Dugout Ranch down Indian Creek.

On June 9, 2021, a fire broke out in the Pack Creek day use area. It moved quickly through the riparian area along the creek, tearing through several homes and structures in the Pack Creek neighborhood. And then it moved up to the mountains. Over the coming days and weeks, the fire burned close to 9,000 acres. On the two year anniversary of the Pack Creek Fire, we revisit its early hours with two people who were there. And we hear about the state of the forest today. //Show Notes: //Photo: Pack Creek flows below the Forest Service day use area, still closed because of a fire in 2021.

Way up in the back country through desert, rain, cold, forests, and swamps, we lead you to a very special lake that is home to monster Wendigo! Join us on our 16 mile journey climbing over rocks and trees to find this week's adventure. Brook Trout as long as your arm await you!Here is the riddle to help you find your way:On the hunt for the great Wendigo, it is a sight to behold as you begin your quest,Weaving up the trail with tackle abreast.Pray for mercy from the god's as you pass on through,The bare rocky mountaintops reaching towards the sky blue.Among all of the trees present you belong to but one,Transcend the first two branches and then continue on.Round this way young scouts stay,But to the fronds adventurers do not stray.The true alpinist needs no trail,By instinct alone you will avail.Closer to where Red Cliffs disappear,Hurry now - you are getting near.Though your feet may feel as if they cannot bear the final descents that lead to the stony beach,Push through and rest now at the waters of the master leech.For more hints become a patron at patreon.com/hookemhigh.Intro and outro music by Secret Robot who is part of the group Hunny Glaze.
