'We were scared': Man recalls the night he nearly launched a nuclear missile In 1974, Lt. Colonel Randall Lanning manned the launch controls that could deploy nuclear weapons in the event of a Soviet attack. He looks back at one night that's still etched in his memory.

In a Story Corps segment broadcast on @npr.org’s Morning Edition earlier today, former USAF Lt. Col. Randall Lanning vividly recalled the time in 1974 his Launch Control Center unexpectedly received a valid Emergency Action Message to prepare to launch the 10 Minuteman II ICBMs under its control.

A war foretold: how the CIA and MI6 got hold of Putin’s Ukraine plans and why nobody believed them Drawing on more than 100 interviews with senior intelligence officials and other insiders in multiple countries, this exclusive account details how the US and Britain uncovered Vladimir Putin’s plans ...

I've been working on this for ages in various countries: the story of the intelligence buildup to Putin's 2022 invasion. How did the US and Britain find out so much, and why were Europe and Ukraine sceptical.

The librarians have seized power!

Late on Feb. 16, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted three lethal kinetic strikes on three vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessels were transiting along known narco-trafficking routes and were engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Eleven male narco-terrorists were killed during these actions, 4 on the first vessel in the Eastern Pacific, 4 on the second vessel in the Eastern Pacific, and 3 on the third vessel in the Caribbean. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear

The Trump administration’s lawless killing spree continues with three more maritime strikes—two in the Pacific and one in the Caribbean.

11 more people reportedly killed.

No amount of terrorism talk renders this slaughter lawful.

Internal report describes a 'cesspool of racism' in the federal public service | CBC News An internal report on workplace racism and harassment at the highest levels of the federal public service shows that not even the federal government’s top executives are immune from the problem.

That said, there are lots of interesting papers in the package that CSIS did publish. And also one from me. You can find a slightly longer and updated version of that contribution, "The spies who came south from the cold: CSE's 1980s renaissance," here: luxexumbra.blogspot.com/2024/10/the-... 5/5

The Short History of CAF Cyber Operations Video Now Available My BSides Ottawa 2024 talk was filmed and now available for viewing

CSIS also declined to include one of the presentations on the grounds that they avoid criticism of other government departments in such publications. You can find an extended version of that presentation, given at a different event, here: www.cyberincontext.ca/p/following-... 4/5

The conference was a public event and contributors wanted their names associated with their papers, but CSIS was adamant that they do not use names in conference publications. The names are not secret, however. You can find them here: web.archive.org/web/20250428... 3/5

CSIS also offered to publish summary versions of many of the papers presented at the conference. That publication is now out. (A French version is also available.) Unfortunately, due to CSIS policy, no authors' names are provided in the publication.
