In this latest episode of Headlines and History we discuss what might be the greatest intelligence operation in history: Israel's decision to detonate thousands of pagers worn by Hezbollah members in Lebanon. While Israel has not claimed responsibility, so we don't know for sure, it seems most likely Israel is responsible given they are the only regional entity to have the capability and motive. How did they do it? And why? Is this part of a larger operation to come? Was it an accident? We discuss these questions and more on this week's episode. Enjoy!

In this latest episode of Headlines and History we discuss Linda Sun and her time in New York State government working for two governors and the Chinese Communist Party. She was indicted this week by the Eastern District of New York for working to influence New York politics in a way that supported the People's Republic of China and hurt Taiwan. As we discuss, I wouldn't call her a spy per se, but she worked for an adversary nonetheless, and will likely be found guilty of her alleged crimes. Also is there a historical example that mirrors Sun's behavior...from a friend no less? We find out, on this week's episode, of Headlines and History. Enjoy!

In this latest episode of Headlines and History we review my time at the 2024 Intelligence and National Security Summit hosted in the Washington D.C. area in late August. The summit is designed to bring together intelligence leaders in government, industry, and academia to network and devise ways to make collaboration easier and more efficient. Many topics were discussed during the plenary panels and breakout sessions, but a few key topics stood out: artificial intelligence, China, election interference, and the Space domain. Join me as I discuss the event's highlights and how these topics, and more, affect the foreign affairs and military conflict landscapes. Enjoy!

In this latest episode of Headlines and History we take our first look back since the show began. We've covered a good deal of topics and it is a good time to see how each has evolved. We revisit such characters as "Barbecue" in Haiti, groups like Yemen's Houthis, and tense situations like Iran and Israel. Retrospections will drop occasionally in our journey, so stay tuned and as always...enjoy!

In this latest episode of Headlines and History we talk about the story on everyone's mind...Kursk. I explain in American military doctrinal terms what the Ukrainians accomplished on August 6th, 2024, and if they were effective. I discuss whether the prognosticators are correct on what this operation means for the war against Russia and if President Putin can do anything about it. We wrap up by comparing this operation to others in history in an attempt to discern what just might happen going forward. Enjoy!

In this latest episode of Headlines and History I speak with Chana Studley, an author, counselor, and academy award winner, about her mission to help those suffering with mental health issues. Her latest book--Beyond Diagnosis. A Paradigm Shift from Pathology to Innate Health--shares 45 personal stories of recovery. During the conversation we tackle topics such as PTSD, overall wellbeing, addition, anxiety, and more. Chana resides in Jerusalem which also becomes a topic we discuss given the current state of affairs in Israel. Enjoy!

In this latest episode of Headlines and History we finish our series on my time in Iraq by discussing some leftover funny, and not-so-funny, tales. We start with a broken finger from a guy with a back tattoo, find ourselves in the literal crosshairs of a General, and end with a Soldier who refused to shower for weeks while deployed. Enjoy!

In this latest episode of Headlines and History we continue our series on my time in Iraq by discussing the overall environment in 2005 and which events shaped the threat landscape. Tactics were changing, voting was happening, and foreign fighters were slaughtering civilians. The sectarian violence that began in late 2005 led directly to the decision to surge forces in the next couple years. Enjoy!
