On today’s show, we are going to look at the death of the Iranian President, Israel &

Iran espionage comparisons, and we finish by looking at secret Hamas files that expose a mass surveillance campaign in Gaza.



Then we will move to our Patreon only show “Extra Shot” we will look at reports of

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau not taking the work of its intelligence agency

CSIS seriously. We also look at Chinese research advances in brain-computer interfaces, then we look at the FBI cutting ties with Russian informants and we wrap up with a new look at CIA funding of art works during the Cold War.
