The Patriot-Prepper community really needs informed, trained, and legitimate Intelligence analysts on the national/strategic and operational levels. A huge gripe of mine is that there’s so much crap out there being published and consumed; each year, from at least 2008 to 2015, was going to be the year of societal collapse. And we have “imminent” Russian invasions. And we have faulty maps of nuke zones in America, and super duper secret DHS informants, 60-90 day collapse warnings and all sorts of other inaccurate prognostications from some of the greatest fiction authors of the 21st Century.
I’ve assembled a team to lead the charge in the next phase of Forward Observer. We’re going to start an Open Source Intelligence center and produce Intelligence reports for the Patriot-Prepper community on what we’ve collected, which ways events and scenarios are trending, and what we believe is the most likely timeline for these events. I’ll head up this small group of former Intelligence Collectors and Analysts and, if there’s enough interest, we’re going to do the day-to-day work of running an Intelligence service to focus on geopolitical, national, and operational level threats. (I’m turning over much of the magazine work to Andy Boomer, our associate editor, so that I can pursue Intelligence, which brings meaning to my life.) I’ve been kicking around this idea for the better part of a year and it’s finally time.
