The US Air Force is at a turning point in 21st century warfare and in danger of whistling past the graveyard if they fail to take notice and action on the emerging Revolutions in Military Affairs (RMA). The era of manned combat aircraft is coming to a close. The era of manned bombers with gravity bombs is over. The era of fixed site nuclear missiles is in great peril. The era of hyper-velocity missiles whether high parabola of IRBM/ICBM or Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOBS) glide vehicles. If the pilot mafia doesn't do something about what is coming, the result will be cataclysmic. The Pentagon will not do the right thing, regretfully.

In this episode of The Privacy & Freedom Podcast, Forrest Garvin takes you deep into one of the most powerful — and misunderstood — tools for modern privacy and asset protection: the Anonymous LLC. Also known as a “Ghost LLC,” this structure allows you to legally own property, businesses, and assets without your personal name appearing on public records. Forrest explains how data brokers, trial lawyers, and even online stalkers use state business registries to track ownership, target individuals, and uncover wealth. Then he shows how Anonymous LLCs provide a legal firewall between you and your holdings — protecting your family, your finances, and your freedom. You’ll learn which states offer the strongest privacy laws (like Wyoming and New Mexico), how registered agents keep your identity off public filings, and how to layer your LLCs for maximum protection. This episode also uncovers the biggest mistakes people make when setting up “anonymous” entities — from using the wrong address or email to accidentally revealing ownership through tax or payment records. Forrest walks you through how to do it the right way, step-by-step. At Garvin Academy, Forrest teaches both the Disappear on the Internet course — a complete 25-hour guide to wiping your digital footprint — and his exclusive How to Create an Anonymous LLC course, which walks you through building and managing a true privacy protected business entity. Both courses are available now at GarvinAcademy.com. Because in today’s world, privacy and security are freedom — and if your name is tied to everything you own, you don’t truly own anything at all. Take back control of your online privacy with Proton Mail, the world’s most trusted encrypted email service. Built in Switzerland and protected by some of the world’s strongest privacy laws, Proton Mail ensures your data stays yours—always.

Have you ever encountered someone who uses faith as a convenient excuse to avoid the responsibilities God has actually called them to? In this episode of the Christian Prepper Podcast, Todd examines an obstacles in the faith community—the tendency among believers to twist scripture into justification for inaction. This devotional dives deep into the excuses that are used often, from "God understands my heart" to claims that a pre-tribulation rapture eliminates any need to prepare. Todd addresses these head-on with biblical clarity, reminding listeners that Jesus never promised a suffering-free existence. If you've struggled to explain preparedness to fellow believers or family members who resist the conversation, this episode equips you with scriptural foundations and practical talking points.

In the future near-peer and peer fight, salvo competition will be the preeminent means by which one country will kinetically overwhelm the other in a fight. I discuss the way the West is in an existential hazard of being woefully under-prepared to meet the threat if Western forces go toe to toe with regional hegemons in the East or West. The US is NOT prepared for the war of leakers in which the inadequate missile defense systems and strategy now deployed will be overwhelmed if it enters a war of choice with China or Russia. It isn't simply the peer competitors but the smaller players like North Korea and Yemen are demonstrating that the US and its allies can't cash the checks they boast about. Once again, the US should stand down, reassess, re-calibrate and stop thinking defense is a four letter word.

We usually prep for the first thing that goes wrong—the flood, the power outage, the supply disruption. But what about what happens after that? In this episode, I break down a concept that’s been on my mind for a while: thinking through the 2nd and 3rd level effects of emergencies. This is the kind of strategic thinking that transforms how you approach your entire preparedness plan, and I walk through real-world examples to show you exactly what I mean. If you’ve ever felt like your preps might have gaps you haven’t considered, or if you want to develop that “see around corners” instinct that helps you stay ahead of problems, this episode is for you. I share some practical frameworks you can use to audit your own preparedness and start thinking more strategically about how emergencies unfold. It’s not about being scared—it’s about being smart.
