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.
