Matthew West began his career as a peace officer in 2000 and has transitioned into risk management in 2018. Matthew received his B.A. in American Studies from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2002 and received his M.A. in Homeland Security (with honors) from American Military University in 2013. He holds a Master Peace Officer certification for the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement and is a TCOLE certified instructor.
Matthew has been part of numerous disaster responses as a first responder, to include Hurricanes Rita and Ike. During his deployment, Matthew began to realize the lack of preparedness and vulnerabilities communities lacked, as well as those shortfalls for those responding to these events. His experiences is what guided him toward his graduate studies in Homeland Security and writing his thesis on the vulnerability of an EMP event on the U.S. power grid. Matthew is also a Boy Scout leader and amateur radio operator.

Rich Breeden helps us understand the two cyber attacks on the Ukrainian power grid. The first was in 2015, and the second was in 2016. In part 1, we discuss the setup of the attack by the Russian hackers. In part 2, we look at the differences between the two and what made the 2016 attack different. Were the Ukrainian cyber attacks a model for an attack on the US power grid?

In this episode, which is the first CD Radio SitRep (Situation Report), I cover the internal threat to our way of life as free Americans. This existential threat is the cultural Marxism we see causing violence in our streets, burning businesses and tearing down statues and threatening more violence if we don't capitulate to their demands. This threat was well hidden, until recently, and is only now being exposed for all who wish to see it, will see it. Those who are too busy with life, will become victims of their own ignorance.

Preston on Why Civil Defense and the Guide
Posted on June 23, 2020, by brian
During this episode I tell you a bit about me and how I came to the conclusion that we need a New American Civil Defense Structure in America and why. I also speak about the Guide that I wrote and that is found on our website that helps you get the conversation started in your local community. US Congressional Resolution 762 was an important piece that suggested a local Civil Defense organization was a good idea.

Joe Weiss, an electronic control systems cybersecurity expert, gives us his insight into what may have brought about the latest Presidential Executive Order on securing the national bulk power system and components. This was a huge learning experience for me, as I hope it will be for our friends out there also. There are so many ways our potential adversaries can get to us, that we’ve not done much to mitigate. This latest E.O. is meant to fix a small opening that could cause major failures in our power system.
