  • Irresponsibly doxxing activists

    Just heard your show for the first time. It was today's episode on the immigrant protection activist network in LA. I was stunned by the way you exposed the people, places & strategies and by so doing endangered the entire network. People will be arrested, charged & possibly disappeared under new laws that are expanding every day based on your so-called reporting. WTAF

    Used to be good but some of the claims made are so fundamentally wrong that you’d not trust anything this show puts out anymore. long time listener but no longer.

  • Two Months of Repeats!

    I have listened to all 310 episodes. Except the repeats. The constant repeats without a clear warning that it is a repeat suggests a strong lack of conservation for your audience.

    I liked when you went in depth into the details of threats. But as many others have said. The political bias has been getting out of hand.

    I have unsubscribed. I cannot continue to waste my time starting a podcast just to realize it is a complete repeat. The mic drops were bad enough as they had some new and some o... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Watching the next war
Q: You mentioned the use of AI, especially around targeting and autonomous systems. What is AI doing in Ukraine?
AI is being explored as an augmentative tool for targeting and autonomous systems, but human pilots and operators remain essential; the technology could shape how drones are used and potentially change how campaigns are conducted, without replacing human decision-makers entirely.
Alternate realities
Q: If you could wave an optimistic wand to fix this, what would you change?
Mandate interoperability across platforms so that people can move between networks and still carry their connections, which could lead to more diverse, values-driven communities and reduce lock-in.
Drowning out the truth
Q: Do you think that's a cultural reason why disinformation in China or propaganda there is different than in Russia? Is it cultural?
Yes, it reflects a complex exchange between power and information that differs by country, with China presenting a transactional bargain where the state provides stability and benefits in exchange for allegiance, which in turn shapes how propaganda is consumed and mobilized.
It didn’t look like propaganda
Q: How did the daily routine of teaching become a tool of propaganda?
It gradually shifted from normal classroom activities to explicitly political content, with scripts and instructions guiding what teachers should say and do.
It didn’t look like propaganda
Q: What compelled you to send that first message to the American filmmaker and share these videos?
He wanted someone outside the system to understand and see the truth behind the classroom's changes, beyond official channels.
