Tonight on my radio program — the story that’s picking up steam in the blogging community and will probably take a week’s worth of news cycles before you see, hear, or read about it on TV or Radio, is the blogger and sharp eyed national security specialist Steve Schippert who ran with the story broken by equally sharp-eyed blogger Pierre Legrand of Pierre’s Pink Flamingo Bar . The story has been picked up by the major bloggers like Michelle Malkin and is generating considerable controversy in the blogosphere.
Steve Schippert of Threats Watch, served in the U.S. Marine Corps from June 1985 to June 1993, including service during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm to liberate Kuwait. Steve’s career has included being a program director for a television station, and eventually a move into information technology and a career as an instructor for a significant IT product certification program.
Steve began writing online in August 2004 primarily on issues of foreign policy, national security and media coverage of the War on Terror at his personal blog, The Word Unheard, which was closed after his efforts moved to ThreatsWatch. Steve has also written on political and social issues at Wizbang, and provided regular reports on the War on Terror for Winds of Change.NET. Steve has also been published in the Washington Times and online at the Weekly Standard and the National Review and is currently a regular contributor at National Review Online’s MilBlog, The Tank.
Steve has also provided terrorism, security and military analysis on The Hugh Hewitt Show, The John Batchelor Show, The Martha Zoller Show and others, and his written work has been featured on MSNBC.
In 2009, he began a weekly National Security podcast, The Steve Schippert Show, which is published each Monday morning on iTunes and available online at Take That! Radio.
Over at Threats Watch, Steve’s most recent post:
America’s Top Three Threat Developments
Since kicking up much dust regarding President Obama’s quiet empowerment of InterPol on US soil, I’ve been intellectually disengaged for the most part in my annual ‘decompression week’ over the Christmas holiday. A necessary retreat. But it’s time to re-engage.
There are three pressing situations that require attention, analysis and awareness.
1. The internal Iranian developments are fast and furious, yet largely under-reported still. Is the regime at a crucial tipping point? Has the regime actually made an aircraft ready to whisk Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Khamenei away to safety? Are there quiet and secret splits in the ranks of its military and security forces, including the Revolutionary Guards Corps and the Bassij?
2. What is to be made of al-Qaeda’s latest attempt to bring down an airliner descending into Detroit? What’s to be made of our own systems, organizational awareness and domestic security?
3. The question of why Interpol was granted full diplomatic immunity and its archives and records “inviolable” has yet to be addressed by the White House. It has been two weeks since the amending of Executive Order 12425. (See: PrincipalAnalysis: Wither Sovereignty.)
Join us tonight at 9 ET — Don’t miss it.
