International affairs are at the top of the news all around the world. With hot conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza, and the Sahel, and would-be confrontations in the Taiwan Strait, the Red Sea, and elsewhere, there is a lot of reporting about various visits of the US secretaries of state and defense and of sensitive negotiations with this country or that. But what is the role of the CIA in all this? Is that role different now that the CIA is led by a professional diplomat? And how different is it now that the CIA is less an intelligence collection agency and more a para-military body? On this episode of the Whistleblowers, John Kiriakou speaks with whistleblower and former senior CIA officer Mel Goodman to answer all these questions.

On this episode of Direct Impact, Rick Sanchez dives into the new deal reached by US lawmakers to send additional aid to Israel, Ukraine, and even Taiwan. Also, how will the West respond to reports that Russia’s economy is growing? Rick digs into all this with the executive director of the Ron Paul Institute, Daniel McAdams.

When people think about mass destruction in war they typically think about chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons. But there is something that could easily have a similar body count with potentially longer lasting results. A cyber attack could shut down our infrastructure, prevent basic services and cripple our just in time food and grocery system. In many respects a serious cyber attack would be similar to a an EMP attack or a solar flair. It would cut us off from the luxuries, resources, and support we have become accustomed to. If you have ever heard a prepper talk about the results of an electromagnetic pulse then this video will sound familiar to you.

He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from George Mason University, and a B.A. in Economics and Political Science from McGill University.
