Take a look at Conducttr's services and its crisis exercise software at: https://www.conducttr.comWith the war in Ukraine still ongoing, it's not surprising that conventional warfare usually dominates the headlines but underneath this traditional battlefield there are other types of conflict taking place as well that are a lot more quiet but just as consequential. From covert influence operations, proxy militias to economic pressure and cyberattacks, countries like Iran, Russia, and China have become extremely good at waging wars that don't look like wars in the traditional sense. But that can be just as powerful and sometimes even more effective. And while this kind of warfare isn't new, it feels like we've entered a golden age of it.And so in this conversation, I spoke with Seth Jones, Director of the International Security Program at CSIS, and one of the leading experts on irregular warfare on the different tactics and strategies of the three leading hybrid warfare powers —Iran, Russia, and China. We discuss the strengths and vulnerabilities of each country's approach, the effectiveness of their influence operations, why the U.S. seems to lag behind in this area or what role hybrid warfare plays in the war in Ukraine and much more.

In this explosive exposé, today's full broadcast connects the dots across censorship, political manipulation, and covert operations that threaten the foundation of American democracy. From taxpayer-funded organizations like the National Endowment for Democracy boasting about suppressing Trump's message, to search engine intimidation and ad revenue blacklists, the show reveals how government-aligned entities weaponized information control. But the truth runs deeper: unexplained inconsistencies surrounding Donald Trump's assassination, unanswered subpoenas, and shadowy agency control suggest a government fractured from within. Meanwhile, bizarre drone swarms over military bases, F-16 collisions, and shifting narratives echo past cover-ups like Epstein's death—now reignited by officials insisting it was suicide, despite glaring evidence to the contrary. This episode challenges the audience to confront a chilling reality: if free speech and truth can be so easily buried, what will it take to dig them back up? Razor-sharp, relentless, and unapologetically urgent.

In a gripping two-part exposé, Tara peels back the layers of former FBI Director James Comey's cryptic “8647” post—suggesting it carries veiled threats tied to alleged assassination attempts on Donald Trump. From Iranian operatives given FBI-cleared visas to 30,000 pages of documents still hidden from Congress, Tara makes the case that federal institutions may be actively shielding dangerous truths. The conversation expands to global stakes—highlighting Trump's transformative foreign policy victories, trade strategy, and economic resilience despite elite sabotage. As Democrats, globalists, and media elites panic, Tara reveals why the establishment is terrified—and how their final play may already be in motion.

Buried in America's Forbidden Archives

Chris welcomes back national security journalist Florian Flade to unpack Russia's shadow war against NATO. They examine Moscow's escalating hybrid attacks across Europe—from sabotage and arson to drone incursions and attempted assassinations—and how Russia recruits low-level agents via Telegram and even AI-driven chatbots. Florian details arson plots, suspicious drone activity near critical infrastructure, infiltration of the German Navy, and a parcel bomb campaign stretching from Lithuania to the UK. They also explore how Russia exploits legal loopholes, overwhelms under-resourced security services, and uses these operations to map NATO's vulnerabilities. Plus, an alleged assassination plot in Frankfurt, concerns about escalation, and why European security services may still be underprepared for what's coming.

Music by Andrew R. Bird Secrets and Spies sits at the intersection of intelligence, covert action, real-world espionage, and broader geopolitics in a way that is digestible but serious. Hosted by filmmaker Chris Carr and writer Matt Fulton, each episode unpacks global events through the lens of intelligence and geopolitics, featuring expert insights from former spies, authors, and analysts.

A newly unsealed FBI affidavit reveals chilling details: a Wisconsin teen who killed his parents and plotted to assassinate Donald Trump was communicating with a Ukrainian contact over Telegram. This marks the second Trump-related assassination attempt linked to Ukraine—raising disturbing questions. Why are multiple suspects tied to the same foreign players? With connections to encrypted networks, foreign operatives, and even the Azov Battalion, the thread winds through cartels, Iran, and Ukraine. As the FBI stonewalls Congress, refusing to release 33,000 pages, this exposé uncovers a dark web of geopolitical hostility targeting a former U.S. president.

Combining two fiery broadcasts, this segment explores a sweeping theory that illegal immigration is being used as a strategic tool to alter the U.S. political landscape. With allegations ranging from cartel infiltration and criminal leniency to mass voter fraud and manufactured voter bases, the speaker paints a picture of a shadow electorate quietly shaping elections. From courtroom battles to border militarization, this is presented as more than politics—it's a war for control of the nation's destiny.

Why are Democrats going to the mat for a deported MS-13 gang member? In this explosive breakdown, the narrative shifts from a single immigration case to a sprawling theory of political power, media manipulation, and a “shadow electorate” built on illegal immigration. From secret flights and voter fraud claims to cartel-linked youth violence and border militarization, this segment pulls no punches. Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia just a "father from Maryland"—or a symbol of something much bigger? The media says one thing, the courts say another—and the war for America's future rages on.

In this bone-chilling episode of "Into the Unknown," Brian narrates the extraordinary firsthand account of a man who survived multiple encounters with Sasquatch in the remote Alaskan wilderness. Brian brings to life the story of a former architect who abandoned city life in Anchorage to build his dream home on a hundred-acre property in the Kenai Peninsula, only to discover he had unwittingly entered territory claimed by creatures most believe exist only in legend. Through meticulous research and exclusive interviews with the survivor, Brian reconstructs this harrowing tale of territorial conflict and survival. Listeners will hear how the man's experience began with mysterious knocking sounds in the forest and quickly escalated to an orchestrated campaign of intimidation—rocks hurled at his trailer, destruction of construction equipment, and ultimately, coordinated attacks by multiple Sasquatch displaying disturbing levels of intelligence and strategic thinking. The narrative details the physical characteristics of these massive bipedal beings, their communication methods, and their apparent ability to remember specific humans and hold grudges against those who intrude on their territory. The survivor's account of narrowly escaping death during a night-long siege provides some of the most credible and detailed testimony ever documented about Sasquatch behavior. This hidden conflict has remained largely unknown to the public due to skepticism, misclassification of deaths as wilderness accidents, and potentially even governmental reluctance to acknowledge the existence of another intelligent species with territorial claims to North American lands. The episode concludes with sobering reflections on what these encounters suggest about humanity's place in the wilderness—that in certain remote regions, we may not be the apex predators we believe ourselves to be, but rather intruders in territories long claimed by something more ancient and unwilling to share. Whether you're fascinated by cryptid phenomena or a committed skeptic, this meticulously researched account will make you reconsider what might really be watching from the shadows when you venture into the deep wilderness. Content warning: This episode contains descriptions of violence and situations that some listeners may find disturbing.

Jon Herold returns with a sharp breakdown of Trump's expanding offensive, economically, politically, and strategically. He opens with a fiery defense of Trump's tariffs and a takedown of Rand Paul's “free market” arguments, exposing the moral rot behind globalist trade and the exploitation of slave labor. Joined by Ghost, the duo unpacks escalating tensions in the Middle East, highlighting Israel's push for the David Corridor and Trump's quiet alliance-building with Turkey and Russia to block a war with Iran. On the home front, Jon covers Trump's latest executive orders targeting Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor, the resurfacing of the Crossfire Hurricane documents, and the passage of the SAVE Act, aimed at securing federal elections. He also dives into whistleblower claims against Zuckerberg, China's economic counterpunches, and the swamp's meltdown over deregulation and water pressure. As always, Jon delivers clarity, receipts, and the kind of TL;DR commentary the moment demands.

Part of the team behind the series - The Shadow War - which exposed Russian espionage activities in the Nordics and led to the expulsion of five Russian spies from Sweden. Many other stories as well, but of course co-author of his debut book, The Honey Trap which explores Swedbank's involvement in one of the world's largest money laundering scandals and details this extensive operation for how the Russian security service uses sparrows and other means to honey trap and acquire kompromat on a broad slew of people. Honey traps were used directly to illicit compromising material to infiltrate Swedbank.This podcast goes into Axel's views on the evolution of journalism in a globalised world, and the significant role that money plays in shaping political landscapes. He goes as far to say it is the single biggest societal issue facing Europe and how intertwined money laundering is with currying foreign influence. This was recorded in person in Stockholm with Axel last December, it was the last interview I recorded before I left the country.00:00 - Axel Humlesjö 01:30 - Journalism in a Globalised World06:23 - The Impact of Money Laundering on Democracy13:28 - The Influence of Russian Oligarchs15:48 - The Structural Damage of Under Money25:38 - The Iceberg of Financial Corruption41:53 - The Impact of Money Laundering on Society48:58 - The Kompromat Strategy: Honey Traps and Coercion01:07:01 - The Future of Investigative Journalism

Russia poses several types of threats to Western powers. In the conventional sphere, the invasion of Ukraine is a direct threat to European countries. But below the threshold of conventional war, Russia's military intelligence directorate is also carrying out "active measures," an irregular warfare campaign of sabotage and subversion against Western countries that includes the use of explosive and incendiary devices, cyberattacks, and the use of blunt or edged instruments to damage critical infrastructure like undersea cables. The CSIS Defense and Security Department compiled a database of these attacks to analyze Russia's ongoing "shadow war" against the West. CSIS's Seth Jones, president of the CSIS Defense and Security Department, joins the podcast to discuss their findings. Read the full analysis by Seth Jones here: https://www.csis.org/analysis/russias-shadow-war-against-west 

Tom Uren and Patrick Gray discuss how China's Ministry of State Security is increasingly doxxing and threatening Taiwanese APT operators. In some ways this mirrors the US strategy of naming and shaming Chinese cyber operators in indictments that contain lots of supporting information. But although MSS statements are filled with propaganda rather than technical detail, naming Taiwanese military hackers has some bite. They also discuss Russia's ‘shadow war' sabotage campaign across Europe. The Russian campaign mostly relies on traditional sabotage and finding local proxies to throw bombs. But it does make sense for Western governments to respond with destructive cyber operations. This episode is also available on Youtube. Show notes CSIS report on Russia's 'Shadow War'

2/4: The Shadow War: Iran's Quest for Supremacy Hardcover –  by  Brandon J. Weichert  (Author) 1911 There has been an ongoing shadow war between the West and Iran, one that could explode and plunge the world into a third world war. The Biden Administration's move to make peace at any cost with the mad mullahs of Iran may be the very spark for a regional war that turns into a global conflict, the likes of which not seen since the 1940s. As the Biden Administration pines for a return to the ill-fated Iran nuclear deal, Tehran makes ready to consolidate its growing power in the Middle East at America's expense. For the last decade, Iran has consistently expanded its own reach and influence across the region—all while judiciously building up its military capabilities. As America looks for a way out of the Middle East and a return to the Obama-era nuclear agreement, Iran enhances the ability of its terrorist proxies, like Hezbollah in Lebanon or the Houthis in Yemen, to threaten the security of Israel and to destabilize the Saudi regime. Each time the Biden Administration signals its willingness to negotiate with Iran, Iran gets more aggressive. In the words of one Saudi official, Iran is a "paper tiger with steel claws." These steel claws have extended to encompass the whole region, and they include Iran's growing arsenal of complex drones, precision-guided munitions, EMP weapons, and their nuclear weapons arsenal. Thankfully, there is a path forward for the United States and the solution can be found in the policies outlined by the previous Trump Administration; in the form of the Abraham Accords and daring "maximum pressure" campaign against Iran. But time is not on America's side. Should President Biden continue down the destructive, illusory path to "peace" with Iran, he will not only have abandoned America's long-standing allies, but he will have also helped to trigger the very conflict he seeks to avoid. After all, as Ronald Reagan once quipped, world wars do not start "because America is too strong." They start because the United States is deemed too weak by its rivals. In The Shadow War: Iran's Quest for Supremacy, author Brandon Weichert explores how the next world war is unfolding right before our eyes and explains how the American government can avoid it while maintaining its position of strength and support for its allies.

As the reality of Donald Trump's decisive victory sets in, we wanted to talk to Politico's Ian Ward, who's done some of the very best reporting on post-liberal intellectuals, JD Vance, and MAGA-world, in addition to spending time on the campaign trail this fall. After breaking down the results of the presidential election, we discuss Vance's role in the campaign, his standing with Trump, and friendship with Don Jr.; how the Trump transition is taking shape and who's likely to influence his decisions at the start of his second term; whether Project 2025 will actually be implemented; if the Republican Party will actually govern in a pro-worker way; and much more! Sources:Ian Ward, "Trump Loves Her.

The claim that Russian intelligence planned to murder a German industrialist highlights the Kremlin's escalating campaign of mayhem and disruption in Europe, from arson to disruptive cyberattacks. Why is Putin -- who was initially rather more cautious -- now raising the stakes and, more to the point, what can we do about it?

Why did a Green Beret kill a Chechnyan who was in his backyard? There's a fed baiting you to do something illegal in your group. They spent decades taking over the institutions.

The rise of China is a defining challenge for the West. How far should it co-operate, compete or confront Beijing? And were Western countries slow to respond to China's growing assertiveness? The BBC's Security Correspondent, Gordon Corera, delves into the worlds of espionage, surveillance, technology, the theft of commercial secrets, free speech at universities and political interference to explore the points of friction. In this documentary, he speaks to spy chiefs, former prime ministers and dissidents as well as those on the frontline of this Shadow War.

6/8: The Unvanquished: The Untold Story of Lincoln's Special Forces, the Manhunt for Mosby's Rangers, and the Shadow War That Forged America's Special Operations Hardcover – by  Patrick K. O'Donnell  (Author) @combathistorian https://www.amazon.com/Unvanquished-Lincolns-Special-Americas-Operations/dp/080216286X At the heart of this groundbreaking narrative is the epic story of Lincoln's special forces, the Jessie Scouts, told in its entirety for the first time. In a contest fought between irregular units, the Scouts hunted John Singleton Mosby's Confederate Rangers from the middle of 1863 up to war's end at Appomattox. With both sides employing pioneering tradecraft, they engaged in dozens of raids and spy missions, often perilously wearing the other's uniform, risking penalty of death if captured. Clashing violently on horseback, the unconventional units attacked critical supply lines, often capturing or killing high-value targets. North and South deployed special operations that could have changed the war's direction in 1864, and crucially during the Appomattox Campaign, Jessie Scouts led the Union Army to a final victory. They later engaged in a history-altering proxy war against France in Mexico, earning seven Medals of Honor; many Scouts mysteriously disappeared during that conflict, taking their stories to their graves 2865 March 4, Lincoln Inaugural

From June 15, 2019: Russian and Chinese leaders understand that they're unlikely to win a shooting war with the United States, but they have other ways to challenge Western interests, turning our greatest strengths—open societies, dominance of technology on Earth and in space, and military innovation—into weaknesses.CNN anchor and chief national security correspondent Jim Sciutto calls it “the shadow war,” and it's the subject of his new book of the same name. David Priess sat down with Jim to talk about these asymmetric threats to national security, and what the United States and its allies can do to fight back.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

A new Politico report has exposed deep tensions between The New York Times and the White House. President Biden's team believes The Times isn't adequately capturing the threat Donald Trump poses to democracy, while The Times responds that Team Biden is out to micromanage the paper of record's coverage. We think this debate is badly muddled and in need of some major clarifications. So we chatted with Substacker Brian Beutler, a frequent media critic, about today's flawed conventions of political reporting, why they aren't meeting the challenge of this moment, and what's needed to change them.

The Israeli military assault on Gaza has continued for nearly six months, with word of an impending attack on the densely populated town of Rafah. Against this backdrop, a shadow war has continued to play out between Iran and a network of militant groups on one side, and the U.S. and Israel on the other. Iran today supports and arms not just Hamas, but also groups like Lebanese Hezbollah, the Houthis, and various Syrian and Iraqi militia groups. Aside from the U.S. itself, Iran today is likely the most important outside power in the Gaza war, though its role is often ignored. This week on Intercepted, host Murtaza Hussain discusses the role of Iran in the region with historian Arash Azizi. The author of "What Iranians Want: Women, Life, Freedom," Azizi also discusses political developments in the country in the aftermath of recent elections.If you'd like to support our work, go to theintercept.com/join, where your donation, no matter what the amount, makes a real difference.And if you haven't already, please subscribe to the show so you can hear it every week.
