In this episode, we discuss the following:

The National Security Hour with Edward Haugland discusses the book “Spoils of War” with the author Michael Haywood as part of an American Patriots series, in which I investigate the lives, lessons, and efforts of real Americans who have sacrificed for the security and advancement of our Republic. Americans like Michael Haywood, who support and defend our constitution, believe in America’s values and seek to advance our security for future generations. In this episode, we’ll get Michael’s insights into Russia and today’s environment – to understand the internal workings of Russia, its transition from the Former Soviet Union and a black market economy under the control of oligarchs to today’s continued reality of what I consider a black market economy, where there is a tense truce between Vladimir Putin and the Oligarchs whereby they continue to flourish, as long as they do not oppose, comment, or engage in political opposition to Putin.

Mr. Haywood discusses three specific time frames related to Russia – giving a unique perspective and insights to help understand Russia’s intentions and what may be next. In this episode, we discuss the following:

  •  1991-1999 POST-SOVIET RUSSIA – as we discuss the post-Soviet economy and its realities.
  • 1999-2008 PUTIN’S RISE TO POWER – to include how Putin conducted his own cognitive war on his people to usurp power via a purposefully staged murder of his own people. A lesson and a warning for America in today’s environment.
  • 2008-PRESENT – getting an insider’s assessment of what’s next and insights on the conflict in Ukraine, Russia’s relations with China, and what’s next?

Michael Haywood attended the University of Kentucky on an athletic scholarship and represented NIKE as a post-graduate distance runner. He later enlisted in the US Army and served over 20 years as an Intelligence Officer within the US Special Operations Command, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. He spent several years in executive protection before being sent to Moscow in 1997 as the representative of a billionaire who was the biggest investor in Russia following the privatization of the Russian economy. Haywood would spend nearly fifteen years living and working in Moscow. Spoils Of War recounts his experiences and observations as Russia’s post-Soviet history, and Vladimir Putin’s rise to power was determined. SPOILS OF WAR: A Soldier in a Billionaire’s Battles with the Russian Oligarchs Who Placed Vladimir Putin in Power.

America’s Armageddon

  America’s Armageddon   Armageddon is defined as “the site or time of a final and conclusive battle between the forces of good and evil” [1] We are indeed in the midst of a centuries long battle between good and evil, it is primarily a cognitive war that is occurring both domestically and globally.   This ongoing battle, in current state, brings to the forefront the real possibility of America’s Armageddon – not decades from now, but next week, next month, or in the next year! Why do I believe this?   Let me start with a premise that we must continually assess, imagine, and project where we are heading as a society.   We must ask, if we have no long-term strategy, then who is guiding our country and to what end?   If we have no strategy, we defer to the strategy that our adversary’s layout. We defer to their vision of the future. We defer to their driving the agenda – as we can only react. And reacting being a defensive maneuver, is a losing proposition.   So continued assess

The Manchurian President

T he Manchurian President The way to crush the bourgeoisie [ the middle class] is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation [1] - Lenin   My opinion - As a former intelligence analyst and practitioner with over thirty-years of experience in national security across multiple executive departments, intelligence agencies, and defense organizations and services - is that President Biden is not only compromised but exemplifies the ultimate Manchurian President.  I also see him as a traitor to our nation – plain and simple. His actions and deeds, controlled by those we do not yet see, are purposefully destroying our democracy, our legal system, our freedoms, independence, and our republic.  I use Lenin’s quote – as it exemplifies the progressive left’s tactics, using today’s information-age technologies, in concert with our adversaries to destroy our nation, advance their vision of tyranny, ultimately to subjugate the people into pre-defined enclaves.  One encla

America’s Armageddon - Part II - Coming to America!

  America’s Armageddon Part II Coming to America!   With the evil we have seen in the attacks by Hamas terrorists against Israel – we must understand and consider the reality that the USA is in no better position to defend or defeat such asymmetrical attacks. The ongoing Cognitive War is real – it is global, and it is domestic. We have just witnessed how Hamas is implementing this war in a multi-faceted strategy with their allies in Iran, Russia, and China to create multiple dilemmas not only for Israel, but the USA and the world. We are likely on the precipice of our Armageddon as I wrote about back in April ’23 America’s Armageddon (theinformationequilibrium.blogspot.com) .   It is time to wake-up the silent majority, to prepare for worst case scenarios, as we have seen the abysmal failure of our national’s security apparatus to alert us to 9-11, to covid (aka China Flu), and now to this attack. It is obvious we cannot look to our federal elements to warn or preclude such a
