Invited to the Vatican under dubious circumstances, he trudged straight into the belly of the beast in his continuing efforts to document the mysterious affairs of Nicole Junkermann, an affiliate of Jeffrey Epstein and many of his closest associates.

SPY GAME (2001) looks like a slick, early-2000s spy thriller, but beneath Tony Scott's kinetic style is a surprisingly thoughtful film about loyalty, institutional cynicism, and the quiet mechanics of real espionage. Rather than gadgets or superhuman assassins, SPY GAME is about phone calls, favors, leverage, and knowing the system well enough to bend it without breaking it. Robert Redford plays Nathan Muir, a veteran CIA operative on his final day before retirement, racing against the clock to save his former protégé Tom Bishop (Brad Pitt), who has been captured in a Chinese prison after going off-mission. What unfolds is less an action spectacle and more a chess match fought through bureaucracy, institutional blind spots, and decades of accumulated spycraft. As the film moves between past missions and present-day interrogation rooms, SPY GAME becomes a story about mentorship, moral compromise, and the cost of serving systems that treat people as expendable assets. Redford delivers one of his most restrained performances, while Tony Scott proves that a “popcorn director” can still find real heart beneath the spectacle.

DryCleanerCast a podcast about Espionage, Terrorism & GeoPolitics
Former chief technology officer of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, Dr. Anthony Vinci, joins Matt to explain why intelligence has broken out of the classified world—and why everyday citizens are now on the front lines. Anthony walks through three past “intelligence revolutions” and argues we've entered a fourth, driven by China and AI: intelligence expanding beyond war and politics into economics and tech, a “whole-of-society” competition that pulls in companies and universities, and a shift from targeting governments to targeting entire populations. They discuss “inanity of evil” disinformation operations, China's push toward a global panopticon, the case for treating economic espionage as tier-one national security, and the coming collision of AI, autonomy, and trust—ending with what it means to “think like an intelligence officer” without becoming the thing we're fighting.

In part two of this two-part episode, retired agent Jim Gaylord reviews the resolution of his investigation and the prosecution of Chi Mak and family members as spies for the People's Republic of China (PRC). Chi was an engineer who had immigrated from Kwang-Tung, China, and was employed with a U.S. company designing sensitive U.S. military and commercial technologies. Jim was assigned to investigate whether Chi was stealing U.S. Navy secrets from his employer. This case highlights the bureaucratic friction that jeopardized efforts to break the string of espionage failures.

Jon Herold and Burning Bright wade straight into the chaos surrounding Patrick Byrne's self-admitted CIA ties, breaking down how his shifting stories, strategic omissions, and sudden confessions reframe years of election-integrity efforts, whistleblower claims, and J6-related operations. They analyze Byrne's involvement across multiple fronts, Mesa County, Lindell's PCAP saga, the Iran “double agent” narrative, and his pressure campaign on Trump, and explore whether his role functioned as infiltration, misdirection, or something even more complex. From there, Jon and BB tie Byrne's revelation into broader information-war dynamics, including planted narratives, controlled opposition, and demoralization tactics aimed at fracturing the movement. The hosts also field live-chat reactions, discuss the psychology of belief in high-stakes information environments, and highlight the importance of discernment as 2025's narrative battles accelerate.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Today's session dives straight into live market action during a major Fed announcement, and it turned into one of those trading days where every decision mattered. This replay walks through the real-time reactions to interest rate commentary, shifting market conditions, rolling trades, closing winners, managing risk, and staying grounded while the charts move fast. It's the kind of live breakdown that helps traders understand what actually happens during high-impact events and how to navigate them with a solid plan.What makes this session especially valuable is how clearly the approach to disciplined trading shows through. You'll see exactly how to evaluate positions under pressure, when rolling makes sense, how to think about extrinsic value, why timing matters when shifting expirations, and how to keep emotions out of the decision-making process. There's no perfection here, just real execution, backed by a methodical framework that holds up when the market gets loud.Throughout the video, you'll hear constant reminders that most traders fail because they react to the moment instead of following a plan. This session is the opposite. Every adjustment, roll, exit, or hold is explained step by step. You'll see real positions managed live, with credits locked in, risk reduced, and opportunities taken only when they meet the criteria. It's a practical look at how to keep a portfolio moving forward even while the Fed releases data that typically shakes up the entire market.Here's a quick overview of what you'll see:✅ How to handle market-moving Fed commentary with discipline✅ Live trade rolls across tickers like Zion, HBN, Jeff, and others✅ Evaluating credit, extrinsic value, and risk before making adjustments✅ Monitoring SPY, gold, oil, and overall price action as news unfolds✅ How to stay focused on signals instead of reacting emotionallyA standout takeaway from this session is the emphasis on sticking to the plan even when the market throws surprises. You'll see several examples of trades that stayed active despite temporary dips because the signals hadn't changed. You'll also see winners closed when the right conditions appeared, and rolls taken when they improved risk and credit without compromising structure.Another major theme is risk management. You'll see how adjusting positions can free up capital, why rolling up and out creates better trade longevity, and how to avoid the common trap of panicking during volatility. Watching these decisions unfold in real time gives traders clarity on what matters most: price action, structure, and signals.This kind of session is rare because it's not theoretical. It's actual live decision-making during a market-moving event, and it shows exactly how a professional approach keeps you steady when the market isn't. If you want to understand how to trade disciplined, systematic setups during unpredictable conditions, this replay delivers.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

Illegals ushered into America by Democrats and shielded from accountability are getting welfare of $84,000 per your while working under the table. In CA alone over $20 billion was sent in welfare payments to people dead, in jail, including death row inmates.But Democrats tell you illegals are great for the economy. These are the same people who allow spies in our midst.Former lieutenant governor and current governor Kathy Hochul just got a starring role in what might be the most brazen example of political obedience since Neville Chamberlain waved a white flag at Hitler. According to trial evidence presented against Linda Sun, a former top New York state official accused of being a Chinese agent, Hochul was “much more obedient” than Andrew Cuomo. That's right. A Chinese spy literally bragged about controlling the governor's office, and she did it with glee.Linda Sun's name might not be familiar outside Albany, but her influence certainly should be.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Chris speaks with Dr Taras Kuzio about the deeper forces shaping Russia's war against Ukraine and the faltering U.S.-Russia-Ukraine peace talks. Kuzio explores Vladimir Putin's obsession with history and identity, the existential stakes the war now holds for the Kremlin, and the political, economic and social pressures that make genuine negotiation nearly impossible. They unpack the Trump administration's pro-Russian tilt, European hesitation, the resilience and innovation of Ukraine's defence sector, and the deep divisions within the global Russian diaspora. The conversation also looks ahead to what 2026 may bring, the risks of a post-Putin Russia, and why the West urgently needs a coherent strategy if it hopes to shape the outcome of this conflict.

Vogel reports that following his father's departure from the vice presidency, Hunter Biden faced financial pressure and sought lucrative foreign clients, leading to risky entanglements; one venture involved a corrupt Romanian real estate magnate who hired Hunter along with former FBI Director Louis Freeh and Rudy Giuliani to resolve his legal troubles, with the proposed solution involving selling land including the site of the U.S. Embassy in Romania to a Chinese state-linked fund, and Hunter Biden was aware of the nature of his associates, referring to one as the "spy chief of China."

At the CIA headquarters in Langley, you will find Kryptos, a large curved copper panel that holds the letters to four encrypted messages. The first three messages- K1, K2, and K3- were solved in the nineties, but K4 continued to mystify cryptographers for decades. That is until Jim Sanborn, the artist who created Kryptos, decided to auction off the plain text and the coding charts that can crack the very code to K4. This week, guest host Flora Warshaw sits down to talk with Bobby Livingston, the auctioneer who recently sold Jim Sanborn's private Kryptos archive for a staggering amount.

The Secret Tour of Long Island's Spy Ring — Nathaniel Philbrick — Washington's tour of Long Island in April 1790 is characterized as a secretive journey implemented with a deliberate "press blackout," likely designed to quietly thank members of the Culper Spy Ring who had conducted intelligence operations during the Revolutionary War. Unlike his extensively documented other travels, there are no surviving diary entries or newspaper accounts of this mysterious trip. Philbrick suggests Washington visited former spies including Austin Roe and Robert Townsend to personally express gratitude for their extraordinary risks and contributions to American independence. Philbrickhighlights serendipitous historical connections, including a chair in Huntington later used by President Theodore Roosevelt, symbolically linking two presidencies across centuries through shared physical objects. 1789
Founding the Fellowship: Amateur Spies and the Quest for Peace: Colleague Charles Spicer introduces Ernest Tennant, a British WWI veteran deeply traumatized by the loss of his peers, who established a connection with Joachim von Ribbentrop, then an Anglophile, to bridge the gap between London and Berlin, leading to the creation of the Anglo-German Fellowship; key figures include the scholar Philip Conwell-Evans and Lord Lothian, with the Travelers Club in London serving as the operational hub where these "amateur spies" sought to civilize the Nazis through diplomacy. 1933
Halifax at the Berghof and Soviet Paranoia: Colleague Charles Spicer explains that by late 1937, the Anglo-German Fellowship was infiltrated by spies including Soviet mole Kim Philby, fueling Stalin's fear of an Anglo-German alliance; the narrative focuses on Lord Halifax's visit to the Berghof, where he famously mistook Hitler for a footman, and despite witnessing Hitler's brutal rants about India, Halifax returned to London believing Hitler did not desire war, a misjudgment Spicer attributes to Hitler's ability to fool the "religious" Halifax, underscoring the dangerous disconnect between British diplomatic expectations and Hitler's aggressive reality. 1933
None So Blind: The Legacy of the Amateur Spies: Colleague Charles Spicer discusses None So Blind, a rare book compiled by Christie and Conwell-Evans documenting their ignored warnings to the British government, tracing the later lives of the protagonists: Tennant died in 1962 leaving a memoir, Conwell-Evans lived modestly while advising prime ministers, and the heroic Graham Christie committed suicide at age 91; the Travelers Club remains a physical legacy of their efforts, and Spicer concludes that while their mission failed, these courageous figures' story was largely lost until historian Martin Gilbert and Spicer himself recovered the records. 1945 berlin

Today, Justin welcomes retired FBI supervisory special agent James Gaylord. Jim spent nearly 32 years with the FBI, including six years supervising a counterintelligence squad at the Los Angeles Field Office's Santa Ana Resident Agency. If you're a longtime listener of the podcast, you might remember Jim as one of our earliest guests from episode 12, recorded nearly four and a half years ago. Today he's back to talk about two of the most famous cases he ran as case agent. It's the story of The FBI's hunt for China's most prolific spy family. Chi Mak, his family, and Greg Chung were US citizens operating at the behest of the People's Republic of China government and its intelligence services, targeting some of the most sensitive American military knowledge in use at the time.
