An unauthorized podcast series peeking behind the curtain at the vast machinery and briar patch politics of fighting terrorism and insurgency and everything in between. I'm a "COINtra" and not a "COINdinista", the latter are the vast army of apparatchiks and apologists who fire the engines of Irregular Warfare (IW) planet-wide. We're the skeptics and doubters of all things IW and special operations. And we are a tiny sliver of the IW community. I have noticed a jarring gap in this part of the discussion and intend on filling the breach.

  • Ep 072 "Modern Antifa: Communist Insurgency in the US Part One"
    Oct 13 2025

    I examine the domestic communist and terrorist insurgency that is Antifa and its affiliated organizations both governmental and non-governments;. In this first episode, we shall examine origins, terminology and some expositions on methodology.

    America is in a Civil War with a major political party and its blacked-shirted paramilitary arm going from cold to hot war.

    Prepare accordingly.

    I did a primer on cell organization in Ep 051 "Cellular Ecology: Guerrilla Organizations and Grunt Math".

  • Ep 071 "The Devil's Thermostat: Turning Up the Heat on American Civil War"
    Sep 22 2025

    This episode examines civil war manifesting itself in the US and the world over the next few years and makes a forecast on how close we are on the doomsday clock of civil war on American soil.

    The probability and possibility of civil kinetic conflict in the US is closer than in decades..

    My Storming America Series covers the gamut of what a spontaneous attack in the US will look like when terror cells launch a simultaneous attack on the US homeland which in my mind is the primary man-made vector for civil war in America.

    I cover it in Episodes 37, 41-43, 49-50 and 62 of my Chasing Ghosts podcast.

  • Ep 070 "Bolivar's Revenge: The Venezuelan Tar Pit and American Ambition"
    Sep 8 2025

    We examine the emerging Venezuelan kerfuffle.

    There are many currents and undercurrents in the latest incipient war debacle in America history. This will be a disaster for America if it clacks off and; expect the American government to make this a preamble to go kinetic on the drug war generally and the following catastrophes.

    I covered this in detail in both parts of Ep 059 and 059 "The Mexican Cartel Conundrum: War Without End".

    Gird your loins for the first war in American history that will lead to significant foreign-born bad actors making war on American soil.
