    Huginn & Muninn Intelligence - Iran Conflict, Ukraine War, OSINT, and Misinformation

    I sit down with Daniel from Huginn & Muninn Intelligence (HM Intelligence) — a private intelligence firm founded by New Zealand military veterans, specializing in geopolitical analysis, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and training. Together, we cut through the noise to deliver no-nonsense insights on today's most pressing global flashpoints: -The escalating Iran conflict — from recent strikes, alliances, and the role of external intelligence support (including reported Russian involvement) to its broader implications for the Middle East and beyond. -The ongoing Ukraine war — updates on the battlefield, peace talk delays, and Putin's all in approach to save his position as leader of Russia. -The critical world of OSINT — how to spot legitimate sources, separate signal from noise, and avoid falling for manipulated narratives. -The pervasive spread of misinformation — Why it's thriving in social media ecosystems, and practical ways to discern facts from fiction. Daniel brings his expertise from HM Intelligence's focus on European geopolitics, corporate intelligence, and real-world OSINT/HUMINT methodologies to provide clear, actionable assessments — no vanilla takes, just straight talk on shaping events and decisions in a chaotic world. If you're tired of surface-level coverage and want unfiltered analysis from someone embedded in the intelligence space, this is the episode for you. https://hmintelligence.org/ Support our Sponsors!!!

  2. Tom Joseph - Fair Elections Through Nominees That Actually Represent Your Values

    Tom Joseph - Fair Elections Through Nominees That Actually Represent Your Values

    Tom Joseph advocates for reforming U.S. elections—specifically the candidate nomination process—to ensure voters get representatives who truly align with their priorities rather than those influenced by big donors, party insiders, media, or gerrymandering. Tom Joseph is the founder and treasurer of America’s Main Street Party (mainstreetparty.org), a non-ideological political entity that uses technology and a "People’s Primary" system to nominate candidates for Congress. This approach aims to create a level playing field where: Potential nominees compete through multi-round endorsements from constituents (ordinary voters), with endorsements serving as the sole "currency." Wealth, political connections, outside money, and traditional party gatekeepers have no influence. The system operates as a free and equal alternative primary, bypassing or supplementing existing party structures without requiring new legislation initially. If the party achieves national status, the winner gains automatic ballot access in the general election. The core idea is to achieve fairer elections by focusing on genuine representation of voters' values—addressing issues like gerrymandering, elite control over nominations, and the lack of accountability in the current two-party-dominated system. Joseph positions this as a way to reclaim government "of the people" through accountability and grassroots-driven selection, often highlighting how traditional primaries favor insiders over everyday citizens. This concept ties into broader discussions on election reform, such as defeating gerrymandering via new party mechanisms (as Joseph has written about in outlets like IVN) and creating alternatives to polarized, donor-driven politics. https://www.mainstreetparty.org/ Support our Sponsors!!!

    Iran - War and The Fight for Freedom - With Zolal Habibi

    This episode features the return of Zolal Habibi, a prominent member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). In this timely and in-depth discussion, Zolal provides a firsthand Iranian perspective on the rapidly evolving crisis inside Iran amid escalating military confrontations, the reported death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in late February 2026 strikes, and the regime's weakening grip on power. Zolal offers critical updates on the ongoing unrest—including the January 2026 nationwide uprising that faced brutal suppression, resulting in thousands of deaths, mass arrests, and a severe internet blackout—along with the resurgence of resistance activities by NCRI-affiliated units targeting IRGC and Basij centers across multiple cities. Zolal shares insights into the Iranian people's demands for fundamental change, and the NCRI's vision for a secular, democratic republic. The conversation explores pathways forward from an insider viewpoint: how organized opposition can capitalize on the regime's vulnerabilities, the implications of recent U.S.-Israeli actions, the announcement of a provisional government for transitioning sovereignty to the people, and the extent to which Western nations should support (or refrain from overstepping in) Iran's internal fight for freedom and self-determination. This episode is essential listening for anyone seeking an authentic, resistance-led analysis of Iran's tipping point and the prospects for a free, democratic future. #FreeIran #Iran #NCRI #WorldAblaze Support our Sponsors!!!
